He wrapped his arms around her shoulders, one hand coming up to stroke her hair as he leaned back a bit to meet her gaze. “I know this hasn’t been easy for you. Just know you’re not alone. Not anymore.” His brow furrowed, though he smiled. “No more sneaking around? What happened to trying to get close to them?”

Her fingers drummed softly against his chest, her body just appreciating how it felt to be in his embrace. One of the worse parts of everything was not seeing him when she wanted when he was the one she was the happiest around. “I took a bullet for Sera,” she sighed, “If almost dying for them wasn’t good enough... Do you want to keep this a secret?”

“Yes, I already ‘jinxed’ it, but we might actually be looking at a winning Iceball season this year.” She shook her head, not sure that some superstitious reservation would have any impact on games that had not even been played yet.

[evelynispure-blog]

“Makes no sense that that would jinx it. Confidence is part of winning. Well, confidence and talent. Do you think you’re talented?”

“Hey, I was wondering if you could figure out what’s wrong with me? So, I cry sometimes when I’m lying in bed just to get it all out. What’s in my head? And I… I am feeling a little peculiar. So, I wake up in the morning and I step outside, and I take a deep breath and I get real high, and I scream from the top of my lungs ‘What’s going on?’”

[evelynispure-blog]

“Fucking hell, that song is going to be stuck in my head literally all day now.”

[s--daniels]

“Well? This drink surely won’t down itself and I was already three in before you got here. Your turn.” She slid the amber liquid-filled tumbler across the wood. “Don’t leave me hanging.”

[evelynispure-blog]

“What?” she took the glass with little to hesitation, “Not really going to say no to a free drink, but should I professor really be offering it to a student?”

[samxwynn-blog]

“Um…hello? Dude, if you’re hiding in there…not cool. “ Sam muttered as she followed the shadow she had just seen rushing inside the room. Maybe this was just her mind playing tricks on her. Wouldn’t be the first time since he took the job. Better safe than…being fired because she wasn’t doing her job properly. “Only staff allowed inside, c’mon. I swear if I hear moaning I’ll vomit.” The last part was definitely for her own ears only as she took a few more steps inside the small space, peeking around the corner.

Evelyn heard the voice but paid it little to no mind. Then the footsteps got closer and the voice got a little more annoying. “Would you please relax,” she sighed from where she sat against the wall, “I’m just listening to music and doing an essay.”

“No, not necessarily. Not everyone has to have a close relationship with their parents. I’m guessing you ride? Do you ever get to do it over here?”

[evelynispure-blog]

“Not really. I tend to try and focus on my grades and extracurriculars here, but I do spend most of my time on holidays back home with my horses. I’ve been riding since I can remember.”

[aaron-hathaway-deactivated20170]

“I’ve known that feeling since I was about twelve or so. I’d seen the things my parents could do and couldn’t wait to get my magic. Seeing them without it was a constant reminder of everything that was taken from us. So yeah, I get it, Ev. And yeah, it is fucked. Because you’re not the one that failed. They did, by putting you in that situation to begin with. I don’t know about you, but me? I’ll take freedom every time. My life, my choice. Your life, your choice.”

[evelynispure-blog]

“Right,” she let her hands rest on his chest, “And I can’t let any of that bullshit go if I keep living for my parents.” She actually had someone in her corner, someone on her side and caring about what happens to her. She had only ever been the only one to care about herself. “And I choose that it’s time to live for myself and what makes me happy,” she kept herself so close to him, “I don’t want this to be a secret anymore.”

[cris-mendez]

“Why would it be sad to honestly care about something? Parents come with complications, and I suppose your horses have fewer hang-ups.”

[evelynispure-blog]

“Complications is kind of an understatement, they wouldn’t even notice I exist if it wasn’t for them wanting me to fuck my cousin for the rest of my life.”

[alexmcromwell]

“No? Pets love you unconditionally always, people don’t.”

[evelynispure-blog]

“My horses aren’t just pets, but yes, I see your point.”

[alistairkane-blog]

“It was for my father, probably. I don’t want to question why he wanted them, but he’s fucking weird so I’m not surprised.”

[evelynispure-blog]

“Fish nudes. Right, okay. There is something seriously wrong with your family.”

[assiathornemontiel]

“Well I imagine that the horses have always been there for you, so it’s understandable.”

[evelynispure-blog]

“Right.”

[vivianfairchild-blog]

“Personally I don’t think so. I certainly missed my dogs a lot more than my parents whenever I had to come back.”

[evelynispure-blog]

“My parents might as well be non-existent at this point if I’m being honest. What kind of dogs do you have?”

“We are winning this Saturday,” she explained as she punched the bag so hard for a moment it looked like it was going go flying. She paused, reeling back in the burst of anger that had slipped out that moment. She was normally cool-headed but Russia was a touchy subject. She took a deep breath. “We have no reason not to. Those Russian halfwits are nowhere near our level.”

[evelynispure-blog]

“It’s really not even a question,” the brunette leaned casually against a wall in the gym, seemingly unfazed by the outburst of their coach. The emotions of others hardly ever effected her. “Well,” she gave a small shrug, “You at least won’t have to worry about fire witches, no one is beating me.”

[poisonaomi-blog]

“I’m beginning to think these students are just too incompetent to write a good paper.”

[evelynispure-blog]

“This is the problem with telling everyone they’re special growing up - subpar performances for the rest of their life.”

“No. Animals tend to be more tolerable than people.”

[evelynispure-blog]

“You know, I read somewhere that preferring animals to people is a sign of being a psychopath.”

[alistairkane-blog]

“Nudes with a fish.”

[evelynispure-blog]

“That’s a thing? But why? Actually, no, never mind, I’m content with thinking you mom is just fucking weird.”
