not dead.

bianca di angelo, 16.

Josh took a moment to process what the girl just told him before shaking his head. “Yeah- yeah- no, shit,” He nodded. “Of course.” He took a deep breath. “So stupid.” He whispered to himself and he softly tapped his forehead with the palm of his hand. “We could check out the little town shops?”

“Don’t beat yourself up over it,” she said, giggling lightly at his reaction, before sighing. “It’s not your fault I can’t swim, so...& it’s not your fault that my Uncle hates me, so don’t call yourself stupid.” Bianca blinked blankly. “They have boutiques here? Really? I didn’t know, but I’d love to go with you.”

Albus wasn’t the person people went to when they needed to let out some steam or just needed to talk. Albus was actually the one who made them need to let out some anger, not the other way around. So when Bianca came to him extremely anger he figured, why not? It couldn’t hurt and she was nice, didn’t treat him any special way because of who his father was or because he was different than the rest of his family and saw the world in a different way. And on top of that she liked dogs. Albus loved dogs; Albus was a dog and Albus loved dog people. As soon as the Slytherin turned the corner he saw Bianca standing at the doorframe looking extremely anger. Was he late? Did he take too long to get there? She’s just angry because of whatever reason that didn’t exactly have to do with him, but it easily could. “If you hold onto that phone anymore tightly than you’ll break it,” he said with a slight smirk to ease the tension he could see in her face.

Bianca’s eyes glanced up from the floor, a humourless scoff coming from her as she rolled her eyes simultaneously. “Well, it’s better than me breaking someone’s face, right?” Although his ploy had worked, even though she knew why he had said something. “Come in, darling, we have much for me to vent to you about,” she said, holding the door open for the boy to walk in, a stressed look on her face, before shutting the door behind him as soon as he had stepped in, before pursing her lips slightly, crossing her arms over her chest. “Albus...do you know this one kid, my brother? He goes here, he’s eighteen, always has a frown on his face unless he’s talking about Mythomagic. His name’s Nico.”

“Well, no, that wasn’t why I came here, but now that you say it, the family resemblance is a little distracting. Actually, I was here to offer you food.” Teddy shrugged, holding up a nearly-empty burlap sack. “A friend and I raided the kitchens earlier. I’ve been going around offering the leftovers. Being a good neighbor.” Teddy opened the sack, peering inside. “Would you like some… apples? Or some jam? Oh look, no one has taken the marshmallows, yet.”

[bxancadxangeloarchive]

“It might have something to do with the fact that we---wait, distracting? How so?” Bianca gave him & the burlap sack a look, biting on her bottom lip. She hadn’t eaten lunch yet, let alone dinner, & she eyed it greedily. “M-Marshmallows?” She murmured, a small look of glee on her face. “I-I wouldn’t...” Her voice grew quiet, a blush on her face. “I-I wouldn’t mind the marshmallows.”

[hartbreake]

Josh smiled, a big smile that reached his eyes and made his whole face lit up. “Let’s go for a walk while we decide what we could do today.” He nodded, pulling the girl outside . “Maybe we can have a picnic or we could go and make flower crowns or- oh! We could go simming in the lake!”

[bxancadxangeloarchive]

His smile was contagious & the sixteen year old found herself smiling as well. “Alright, hold on to your horses, cowboy, slow down. I’m still in the process of getting up,” she said, & yawned lightly, covering her mouth as she did so. “You wanna go swimming? I can’t really do that, Josh. Hades kid thing, remember? Unless you have a sudden death wish for me, of course...”

[teddylupiins-blog]

“Things to do? That doesn’t sound very convincing.”

[bxancadxangeloarchive]

“Well, they’re things that don’t concern you. It’s not like you actually wanted me for something, did you? Or are you here to tell me about how I’m slowly becoming more like my brother? Or mayhaps, are you here to tell me that I look...sad? News flash, I already know.”

Dominique giggled, clapping her hands in a fast rhythm. “Yay! Okay, come on we need to get you into something nice, not that this isn’t nice, but you always dress up for a party, right?”

[bxancadxangeloarchive]

Bianca laughed a bit, running a hand through her hair. “I’m wearing my pajamas, but if you think it’s nice, then by all means. Yeah, I guess you do dress up nice. Most of my closet is pretty boring though.”

Glassy eyes were already happening but she was holding them back. “Right, now… it’s not okay to not be okay, I need to be okay or else I’ll go mental.”

[bxancadxangeloarchive]

Bianca crossed her arms over her chest. “Yes it is, Lily. Just...cry. It’s not bad. You’re going to lose your mind holding it in, not letting it out.”

“I uh-” Kieren looked down. “Sorry- for bothering you.” He shook his head before looking back up at the girl. “You just looked so- down?”

[bxancadxangeloarchive]

Bianca couldn’t help but scoff lightly. “It’s not your fault.” A small smile creeped onto her face. “Down? Tends to be a thing with Hades kids, actually. I assure you, I’m just fine.” Although she really wasn’t, she was fine with playing it off.

[hartbreake]

Josh pouted, making grabby hands at the girl before sighing and grabbing her hand. “Come ooooooon,” He whined. “I wanna do something fun B., I’m done with sitting around.” Josh wasn’t one to sit still all day, he loved doing things, just not alone.

[bxancadxangeloarchive]

She felt her hand being grabbed, as she rolled her eyes, placing her left hand on her hip. “Alright, but only because you asked, got it? I wouldn’t do this for anyone else.” Bianca sighed, as she looked him over. “What exactly do you wanna do, hm?”

“So- I can’t even get you out if I promise to buy you cake and hot chocolate milk?” Bobby smiled, looking up at the girl.

[bxancadxangeloarchive]

“You play a hard game. & tell me, what are you gaining by getting me food?”

[alfiepng-blog]

“Oh-” Dominique said, taking her lower lip between her teeth as she looked down at her feet. “I mean- I thought maybe you’d like to come to this party with me, but you don’t have to-” She shook her head, before nodding. 

[bxancadxangeloarchive]

“W-What? Yeah... I mean,” she pursed her lips in worry, “I mean, I’d love to go, I’m just...” Bianca sighed. “I’ll go with you. If you can guarantee it’ll be safe, I’ll go. Can’t hurt to try, right?”

[ofwitchcrxft-blog]

“Of how all my future turned out,” she signed and looked at the ground, “I’m more mad at destiny… and I just want to lie down and cry because I hate this but I won’t because I’ve got to be strong.”

[bxancadxangeloarchive]

“...I’m sorry,” she said quietly. “You know...you don’t have to be strong all the time. It’s okay to cry. It’s okay to not be okay. You’re gonna get through this, I promise you.”

[hartbreake]

“B., you haven’t been out in days.” Josh groaned, stomping his feet on the ground. “Come on, just, a minute?” He tried, giving the girl his biggest puppy eyes.

[bxancadxangeloarchive]

“Contrary to popular belief, I actually enjoy not facing anyone, and wallowing in my own pit of self pity.” Her brown orbs flickered to him, as she bit her lip, feeling herself being swayed by his puppy eyes. “No...don’t pull those puppy eyes...don’t you dare.”

“I don’t have a fancy phone. I’m not…I’m sticking it to the man, okay? I don’t need to explain myself to you.” Nick coughed, shoving his hands in his pants. “Right, that’s too late. I hate this stupid – I hate England.”

[bxancadxangeloarchive]

“Sticking it to the man?” The girl couldn’t help but laugh, and her laughter only increased as he continued to speak. “This is Scotland. England and Scotland are border countries, and are a part of the UK, but they’re not the same place. You seem a bit out of place, are you okay?”

[mrsteverogrs-blog]

“You look upset…Are you upset? I mean, my friend – Sam, he’s the person to talk to but he’s not here so..can I help?”

[bxancadxangeloarchive]

“I am. But...it’s fine. I’ve dealt with it before, and I’ll do it again, you know? Sam? Don’t know him. Define help.”

[ofwitchcrxft-blog]

“It is fine, and I’m perfectly fine. I did know, after the thunder storm, I figured. I guess, I’m mad at the world, at everything I have set out for me even if I’m here.”

[bxancadxangeloarchive]

“You’re mad at the world?” She bit her lip, and furrowed her brows. “What do you mean? Can you...explain more?”

[charlesweasly-blog]

“Oh, right, yeah, sorry. Do you, um, do you need help with any of those things; or?”

[bxancadxangeloarchive]

“Er... No? That wasn’t supposed to sound like a question. But...they’re more not physical things that you can help with. Unless you can zap problems away, like a wizard or something.”
