Alexis’ looked up with wide eyes, her eyebrows shooting up. There was such resolve in Cory’s voice she couldn’t help but be slightly encouraged by what she was saying, even if it did have very sinister undertones. She wanted to trust her, but she didn’t want to get her hopes up.
"You know what they say about hope though Cory. It breeds eternal misery."
"Don't get your hopes up then. I understand that. But I have to at least try. I'm not going down without a fight."
Alexis grabbed Cory’s hands and swallowed hard, trying to get a grip of herself. “Do not let them take her away from me okay? Don’t let them. Don’t let her call someone else mum. Please Cory, it would kill me.” It was the most honest and open she’d ever been with her friend, the pain and pleading shining through her voice. Nothing mattered to her more in the world than that little girl, she was Alexis’ everything. She could tell from Cory’s face that she wasn’t going to let anything happen, and she wanted nothing more than to trust her.
She shook her head. "Never. We'll fix this Alexis." She breathed out, her body and nerves feeling calmer. "This is just another game. We won it last time, together." She referred to Amanda and Daniel, her eyes glaring. "And we're winning it this time."
She looked at her, not moving an inch. The girl was right, if she really didn’t want to be around Caden she could leave. She could win custody of her and leave because she had Fiona’s mother on her side. It wouldn’t even be a battle. But she didn’t want that, she wanted her daughter to have a whole family, and she didn’t want to fuck over the only kind of family she’d ever had, however short of a time it was for. “Fix myself? Cory don’t you think that was what I was trying to do. I tied myself to my bed with sheets the first week I was here to stop myself running away again to buy drugs. I’m fucking trying.”
"No one is going to hurt you, not if I can stop it. I'm going to take care of everything for you, just trust me Alexis. You're the strongest person I know, and I know you can do this. Look at you, you're back at Hogwarts, you're finishing school while being a Mom. You can't let this setback send you spiraling back into whatever hole you were in before. So I'm reminding you, keep it together. For Cayla's sake."
"Be his friend? Cory I don’t even want to, I don’t even want to LOOK at him. He lied to me, one of the biggest fucking things in the world is happening and he didn’t tell me. Something that effects our child’s like for the rest of the days of her life. He doesn’t want me. He might not want her but he doesn’t want me either. Because i’m not good enough. Fuck that shit."
"Are you listening to yourself? If that was true, if you couldn't look at him again, take Cayla and leave. You can't do that, can you? You need him." She told her. "He couldn't tell you right away, understand. He wasn't even expecting you back, none of us were. But now that you are, you have to get it together. Leave it to me to get my hands on that contract. In the mean time, I need you to fix yourself."
She pulled out of the hug, shaking her head. “They hate me Cor, they’re not going to let me marry him. They wouldn’t even let me near her, it was his grandmother who let me see her…I’m not worthy enough for him. I never fucking was and they knew that.”
"No, shut up. You're talking crazy now Alexis. This contract was made up when they were fucking little children, his parents never knew about you coming in." She put her hands on Alexis's shoulders. "I need you to listen to me carefully, get this through your head. You're a great girl, but you've had a rough couple of years. I need you to pull together whatever strength you have and be the best mother and friend to Caden. You're worthy, and I need you to prove it."
Alexis looked at her friend, still crying, confused. She buried her head into Cory’s shoulder as she hugged her, trying to stop shaking. “What…what do you mean?”
"All I know from talking to Regina is that there's a few ways out. For example, if the parents decide someone else is more worthy. Well, who else is more worthy then the mother of his child, who also happens to be a pureblood?"
"they were laughing at me…" she sobbed, wanting nothing more than to hold her daughter, to see her perfect little face and know that maybe things would be okay. Right now though, that seemed to be slipping away from her faster than water down a waterfall. "She’s going to be her mother…she’s going to have another mother…"
Cory turned around, wiping her eyes, giving herself a second to think, a million thoughts racing through her mind. Turning back around, she stood up straight, confident. "You're a pureblood too. You guys have a child together. If they want a contract, we'll give them one." She walked over to Alexis, putting her arms around her. "We're getting your name on that contract."
"Cayla is going to have a fucking stepmother. And everyone fucking knew, I was just being watched like some fucking time bomb? Everyone laughing at me!!" She put her hands in her hair, pulling on it slightly to try and distract herself with the pain, her chest heaving. "Fucking laughing at me…"
"I’m going to kill him. I’m going to kill her. They’re fucking DEAD."
Cory couldn't help but start crying herself. Her and Alexis butted heads too often for her liking, but she was still her friend, and hated seeing her hurt. "Lex no one is laughing at you. And no on is going to steal Cayla from you." She wiped her eyes.
"It's not their fault. They didn't want this to happen either Lex, please understand."
Alexis stumbled after her, anger coursing through her at a million miles an hour. When they got into the abandoned corridor she turned on her heel and her eyes flashed. “The whole- are you FUCKING kidding me.” She screamed.
"It must have happened about a month or two ago Lex. It's some contract. Their parents want them to keep the bloodline pure; something stupid like that. It spread like wildfire, that's why I thought you knew." She told her. "Lex, he doesn't love her!" She yelled, getting her attention.
She grit her teeth, her nostrils flaring and venom coursing through her voice. “Who else knew. Who else FUCKING knew.”
Cory breathed in and out, looking around. "This isn't the place, come on." She helped Alexis up, walking further down the corridor and pushed open the door to an abandoned corridor. "Lex, the whole schools knows."
She looked over at her, her face streaked with tears and full of shock “you…you knew?”
"I would never have intentionally kept it from you, but I thought you knew too and didn't want to talk about it." She was quiet, staring at the ground before speaking again. "It's a contract though. You do know that right? That he's not marrying her out of his own will."
"He’s engaged…" She sobbed, hardly able to speak as she felt the anger building up inside her again. Her hands balling into fists and turning white at her sides.
Cory sat with her quietly, not saying anything until Alexis's sobs got quieter. "I only just found out you didn't know, I'm sorry. He told you?"
[Alexis comes out the Slytherin common room where she had been talking to Caden and slides down the wall, her knees giving in]
Cory walked passed the empty corridor, hoping to catch up with Alexis when she heard the sobs. "Alexis?" She runs over to her. "Oh my god," she sat next to her, putting an arm around her. "What's going on?"

I just don’t want to see you hurt or Caden hurt, because when Grenade Alexis goes off, the repercussions are going to come onto you or me and I want to remind you that she’s going to be angry and I don’t want you to take anything she says to heart. I know how you feel about how mean she is.
Right, the last time.
I know I don't really like it, but this time I get it. She has every right to be upset this time. Hell, I would be upset too. We're, well I, I guess, am just going to have to suck it up and be there for her. Because at the end of the day if we really needed it she would do the same. But what's up with you changing schools? What's that about?
Hard to get along with people? Because people suck infected monkey ass for 95% of their waking moments. How’s that for an answer my darling Cory.
She laughs. "Perfect." She sits down across of Alexis, crossing her legs. "How was Christmas? You saw Cayla, right?"
Private
Relax Cory, please. You’re the level headed one in the group, if you go mad, what will happen to me? It’s not our place to tell her anyway. I just don’t want her going off on everyone, because as much as she’s approving, when she’s upset, her words are lethal. I have.
Right, stick together..
Right. I just feel bad. You're right, when she's mad she's mean. Even when she's not mad she still is. But she's still my friend, and I don't want to see her hurt at all. For now we have to let this be between her and Caden. If she comes to us for support after, we can be there for her. For now, it's not in our hands.
It's what got us through last time Fi.
Private
What’s worse is that she’s under the impression that she’s going to have her family back together, Cor. Yeah, I’ve gotten that impression too. I don’t have an opinion on what would happen to Cayla, but he’s been engaged for months. I thought she knew for some reason.
I don’t want anyone to get hurt, Cordelia.
"She... shit." She grabbed her head, pulling her hair back. "We can't tell her. Caden has too. Maybe we can be there? A support system? Damn." She thinks. "How are we going to do this? Have you talked to Caden at all?"
"Me neither. Not after everything. We just need to stick together."
