Don't Go Crying; to Your Mama

Eve Milton; 17; Previously a Ravenclaw. Working against the Minister. I'm not sure things will be the same after this.

Yes, let’s all make jokes about being blind. It’s sooo funny, ha ha.

[eve-milton]

Someone made fun of you? Where are they? I'm sure I could hex them without getting in trouble.

"Oh I would too!" Dahlia said, giggling. "Nobody’s a lost cause, I’ll just make you stay far far away from me.” She said teasingly. “I mean of course you don’t have to accept the lessons, I wouldn’t be hurt or anything.” She promised.

[eve-milton]

Eve smiled and laughed, slightly nervous. It was nerve wracking to admit that you were bad at something...especially when you were trying to impress them. Was Eve trying to impress her? She hadn't realized it before but...she guessed she was. That's what the whole winning thing was about anyways. "No no, I'd love the lessons. Its so kind of you to offer, especially because I don't really have anything else to give to you in return."

Dahlia giggled maniacally and tapped her fingers together. “Ahh, yes, yes indeed. Sometime when I get my very own flat, I’ll buy that Muggle dancing game and absolutely crush it.” She said decidedly. “Well hey, that’s another thing I can teach you! If you’d like…”

[eve-milton]

"You wouldn't even want me dancing near you. I'll probably hurt you or something. Break whatever game youre talking about." Eve smiled then dropped her head, "I swear, I'm probably a lost cause."

[darling-dahlia-greene-blog]

"Oh, you’ll let me win, huh?” Dahlia asked, raising an eyebrow with a giggle. “Well if we had a dance-off I’d probably win, just saying.” She said with a nonchalant shrug and a smirk. “But, I suppose I’ll never beat your cleverness.”

[eve-milton]

"A...dance contest?" Eve scoffed, a look of disbelief on her face. "If we ever participate in that kinda contest- well, you would definitely win. I can't dance to save my life."

[darling-dahlia-greene-blog]

When they stopped Dahlia nodded thankfully, bending over to catch her breath. “In through the nose, out through the miouth?” She stood up straight, trying out the tactic to catch her breath. She smiled. “Yeah… just a little break.” She gave a half smile, somewhat embarrassed that she wasn’t able to keep jup. She was a dreadful runner, to be honest, she just wanted to be next to Eve.

She then glared playfully at her. “Hey! That’s barely fair, you’ve got such long legs, I had a disadvantage!” She said, crossing her arms. “I’ll give you this one, you win this one.” She said with a cheesy grin.

[eve-milton]

Eve dropped her head in laughter. "Well you better get used to it. I wasn't a Ravenclaw for no reason, I know a lot of stuff and I used it to my advantage." She gave the girl a smirk, "Well..maybe I'll let you win at something."

[darling-dahlia-greene-blog]

"Ah man… you’ve got me there." She said with a dramatic sigh. She was having a hard time keeping up, but she wouldn’t show that. "How about a trade? Cookie skills for Jenga skills?" She asked, pushing her legs harder just to keep up with her long strides.

"Ah, well we’ll just have to wait and see sometime, won’t we?" She challenged, her breaths becoming quicker as she kept running.

[eve-milton]

"Cookie skills for Jenga skills sounds fantastic" She said as she came to a stop. "I figured we needed the break. Breathing in through your nose out through you mouth helps you catch your breath faster." she said, practicing her own advice.

"Unless you consider this the challenge- the running. In which case I think I would've won." she said smiling at her.

[darling-dahlia-greene-blog]

"Well of coruse there’s a strategy to winning! I suppose if you convince me, I’ll find it in my heart to teach you." She said, smirking. She was unable to stop looking at her smile though, so she puts her eyes forward, trying to ignore the attraction. She scoffed, smiling at her. "No, more like afraid my amazing skills will scare you off. And I’d hate for that to happen."

[eve-milton]

"You'll find it in your heart? Oh how kind...arent I already teaching you how to make cookies? That's my leverage then. Cookie knowledge." she started to slow down, all the talking taking away from her speed. But she didn't mind. She was loving it. 

"Well I don't scare easily. I'm sure I could handle anything you throw at me. Whatever competition it is, that is."

[darling-dahlia-greene-blog]

Dahlia giggled and nodded. “I do indeed! You should see me playing Jenga. It gets pretty intense.” She said seriously. She began running next to Eve, trying not to admire the way her body moved so smoothly. “Well-” She said between breaths. “If we ever play games we should be on the same team then, because I’d hate to ruin a budding friendship with my competitive streak.”

[eve-milton]

"I don't think I've ever even played Jenga" Eve said between breaths. "I think you're going to have to teach me your strategies. There are strategies in order to win right?" She smirked, glancing at the shorter red head quickly. "What? You wouldnt be able to handle me beating you?"

[darling-dahlia-greene-blog]

"Well, your legs are much longer than mine, but I love a challenge, so I’ll give it a go!" 

[eve-milton]

"You love a challenge huh? Well, I'm definitely learning more about you every day" She started running as she spoke. "Trust me, I'm not really good at putting aside a challenge either."

[darling-dahlia-greene-blog]

"Oh that sounds fun!" Dahlia said, stepping closer. "May I join?"

[eve-milton]

"Sure, I mean if you can keep up." She said with a smile. 

[eve-milton]

Eve slowed to  a stop. "Yeah, I just...wanted to keep exercising. Running seemed like a good way to do...that."

Kheri grinned and raised her alcohol, nodding with a wink. “True that Sweetcheeks. And for that, I love you.” She said, sighing in relief as the painful thoughts began drowning in the alcohol. She was trying so damn hard not to care about the way everyone was glaring at her like she had kicked their puppy or something, but she did, and that sucked maybe more than anything…

She shrugged it off, trying not to make a big deal out of something that hurt so much. She sighed heavily and held the glass to her lips again. “Brothers.” She said with a heavy sigh. “What are you gonna do, ya know?” Was all she could really think of to say. “Same though. Well not since he was born, I guess… but that’s just a year apart…” She knew it had only been a month, and with how worried the girl was it must have been a lot longer for her, but Kheri was weak when it came to Liam. “I’m sure your brother, whatever his name is, is fine. Not to be rude, I really just don’t know his name.”

[eve-milton]

Eve nodded at her and raised her own glass, gulping down the liquid. Although some might wish to have the popularity or social power that Kheri has...or had, Eve never really wished for that. Especially now, looking at the girl and the sorrow that the recent events and rumours had caused, Eve would definitely not trade places with her. Even though her own past was filled with pain and displeasure, after a certain point she had defintily become happy. For Kheri though, to be constantly faced with the opinions of others, to be constantly judged and monitored and watched...well that just sounded painful. Eve much preferred her life filled with a few friends and a loving, small, family. The fame that Kheri experienced just wasnt that Eve would want.

Eve nodded at her words, understanding completely the phrase 'what can you do'. The answer was nothing. Eve had wanted to go off the island before, do what Scarlett and Liam had done, and just leave. Her brother was out there...her Ezra and Zak were as close as could be, to not have them all together and safe was making her want to tear he heart out. Memories of them all together constantly flooded in when she thought about the fact that Zak was out there somewhere. She knew he could take care of himself...but she still worried. It was somewhat comforting to know that Kheri cared about Liam just as much as she cared about Zak...that she wasnt just being over dramatic. 

"Zakarus is his name, Zak...He was the choir teacher at Hogwarts this year." Eve said, not really looking at her. "What's even funnier is he's my older brother, like.. 9 years apart. i'm not sure the younger sibling should really be worrying this much..but- I am." She paused for a minute, "I'm sure Liam will be fine too...we just have to have faith."

[kherington-the-queen-blog]

"Yeah. See, I hadn’t eaten a real meal for like, fiveever, and he got worried, so he made me a burger, and we were eating and BOOM in comes Marcus.. I don’t understand what happened but oh well." She said, shrugging as if it didn’t hurt even though it did. "I don’t really mind… I mean it’s a little hard because I had gotten used to everyone not hating me, but this is nothing I haven’t been through before. It’s alright.”

"Eh, everyone thinking I fucking one of my best friends is a bit of it, but mostly because LiLi left me… It’s been over a month, and it’s kind of really pissing me off, so this is much appreciated. W-b-u?"

[eve-milton]

'"Well not everyone can be hating on you. I did just share my valuable alcohol with you after all." Eve said smiling slightly at her. Eve never really had much of an opinion on the girl while they were at school- she liked to believe that she was being morally righteous or something by not making her judgement too soon. Everyone knew who Kheri was though- it was kinda hard not to with the way that she walked the halls.

"Right...your brother. I heard about that too" Eve nodded then took another swig. "Worrying..same thing kind of. My brother's gone... we haven't really ever been apart from each other for this long. Especially when I really have no idea if he's alright."

[kherington-the-queen-blog]

"Well if you’ve heard that Dante and I did anything other than eat together, than nah, they’re not true. You can believe them if you’d like. I wouldn’t care, nor I would I blame you." Kheri said honestly, shrugging a bit.

"Eve, Eve, Eve, good evening Eve. Beautiful name Darling. Beautiful name indeed." She said, taking another large gulp. 

[eve-milton]

"So you just ate then? I'll side with you for now... I have no reason to side with anyone else. Why such outrageous rumors would spread then is beyond me...I mean...that really sucks." 

"Thank you.." she took another gulp, the conversation as well as the alcohol distracting her from her worries. "Well I know why I'm drinking...why do you seem so desperate for it?"
