[G.Hall] Time To Face The Music

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash looked up. "What are you talking about? How could I what?" he asked Fay. He sighed, "Fay, you don't understand, I'm not doing this to get back and Laney and Max. I do like Cris, I always have! I just didn't realize it." He looked up at his friend, sadness in his eyes. "Fay, please, don't be mad at me." he whispered.

[Bradyn Reed]

Bradyn walked into the Great Hall with Fay, his books tucked under his arm and a smirk plastered on his face. He was just going to grab a couple muffins then head to the library and 'study' with the girls, but that was code for being a complete distraction and flirting with Ellie. She was so adorable sometimes, and it almost made him want to pick her up in a great big hug.

Though, sadly, he was brought out of his little vision by Fay letting out an audible hiss, aparently subconsiously. "What is it, Beast? Do you smell something?" He asked, rolling his eyes a bit. Sometimes she could be a bit over-dramatic.

Realizing that she dissappeared, he looked around then spotted her standing over Ash and Cris with a menacing look. 'Oh dear, I'm not sure whether or not I would like to go over there.' He thought with a little cringe as he hurried over in time to hear a cold 'how could you' whispered to Ash.

Oh. That was it, the Ash and Cris nonsense that Bray didn't care about. Now they were going to be late, and El would come to some odd conclusions. As Ash tried to justify how he could suddenly lose interest in Maxi and date another guy, who just a few days ago was straight. "How could she not be mad at you, when she was trying to help you and Maxi get back together for so long?" Bray said, with a bored tone of indifference.

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash looked up at Bray blinking back tears. "How was she helping me? And no, Cris was never straight. He's bi." He sighed, "If you two are here to scream at me, just get it over with. If not, go away and leave me alone. I didn't do anything wrong."

[Felicity Locke]

"No, you don't understand."

Felicity didn't even glance over to Bray as he walked up behind her. His bored voice would probably tick off someone else even more, but she was used to it. Ash and his many crushes just bored Bray. Well, he wasn't the one feeling all of the emotional boys' emotions.

"I never said you're using him to get back at Maxi and Laney. And I'm not mad at Cris. He can like whoever the hell he wants."

If she wasn't trying to battle both the boys emotions and her own she would've realized that she was probably being rude to Cris, but at the moment she was too mad to care. But Ash's next words obviously took a blow at her.

"How was I helping?" She worked to control her voice so she wouldn't be shouting at him. "How was I not?! When he broke up with you, I was there. I sat there and comforted you and helped you to get over it. I didn't comment on how you wanted to get back together, because I didn't want to hurt you anymore. And then I found out about you and that Sunni kid, and I didn't say anything again."

Felicity clenched her hands into fists. "I was always there to be your support system. Always ready to protect you whenever I thought it was necessary. But obviously it didn't matter any to you."

She wiped away the angry moisture in her eyes and clenched her teeth at his last words. If he wanted it that way, then fine. "Then stay the hell away from me. I'm through being your puppet." Felicity turned back around and practically ran through the doors of the Great Hall.

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash couldn't believe what he had heard, "Fay!" he called after her knowing it was no use. He sighed, and hung his head. A tear ran down his face, he quickly wiped it away. He looked back up at Bray, "Just get it over with." he sighed in resignation. Knowing that the inevitable was about to come.

[Bradyn Reed]

Bradyn narrowed his eyes at Ashton. Was he really that stupid, that he could possibly not realize all that Fay did for him? "I don't give a damn about your sexual preferences, or your little boyfriends. Why the hell would I?" He grumbled and put his hand on Fay's shoulder. She was getting really worked up, but he couldn't blame her. It was like a patient telling their therapist that they were sane the whole time.

Smirking a bit as Fay continued to refer to Cris as if he wasn't there, Bray tried not to say anything during Fay's little outburst. She cries, he cries; we all cry. 'Oh great.. now she's going to be all upset and exile herself to cry. Then I'll have to find her and be like 'It's okay, Ash is just a jerkface.' Yes, that would be his schedule for the next day, or more.

Raising a brow at her final words, he gasped a bit. Why was the first thing that came to his mind in this situation that Calypso was now over? There was no question about that, Bray wouldn't leave Fay. He knew her forever, and she was close to his current girlfriend. Plus, he also found Ash to be total bogus with his fickle feelings. "Well, that was cold." He said, stating the obvious mostly to himself.

Giving Ash an apologetic smirk, he ruffled the little gay boys hair before he took off after the crying Fay.

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash felt like he had just been punched in the gut. "Bray! I never meant to hurt anyone! You have to believe me, please!" He stared in shock as his two best friends walked away him. He turned to Cris and leaned into his shoulder. "What have I done?" he whispered.

[christianmartinez]

Throughout the entire conversation Felicity, Ash and Bray had, Cris just sat silently, not wanting to make matters worse. Once Felicity had stormed off and Bray quickly followed behind her, Ash leant on Cristian.
'What have I done?'

Cristian didn't realise Ash's best friends would be like that with him, surely they should of realised Maxi and Laney were in the wrong, yet nobody had shouted and screamed at them.
"Maybe we shouldn't be together, you can't lose your best friends over me Ash, I won't let you, and you shouldn't let yourself" he said.

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash looked up at Cris, shock and hurt in his sapphire eyes. "Cris! No! I want to be with you, I don't care what they say!" He took Cris's hand, "Cris please, I want to be with you. Don't leave me, not now!"

[christianmartinez]

Cris was confused and frustrated again, how did he manage to get himself in this situation.
"Ash, you can't dump your friends, especially Fay, she's been there for you for years, don't do that to her. Go and find her" he said, frowning a little.

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash sighed, "Cris, Fay dumped me! She didn't even give me a chance to explain! Damn Veela temper!" He sighed again, "Alright, I'll go find her. But I can guranatee, it's not going to be pretty." he stood up, and looked back down at Cris, "Cris, I don't want to do this alone. Please come with me."

[christianmartinez]

Cris looked at him, and saw in his eyes he really wanted him to be there with him. Cristian knew it would be better for Ash to do it alone, but if Ash wanted him there, he'd go with him. If any of them wanted him to leave, he would.
"Alright, but if Fay wants me to leave, I will, okay?"

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash nodded, "Alright, but please, don't leave me. I've already lost three people Cris, I'm not going to lose you too!"

[christianmartinez]

Cristian couldn't promise. He knew how important friends were.
He just simply nodded.
"Just explain to her, she should understand. I bet it's difficult being a veela, feeling everyone's emotions all the time. Tell her you do appreciate her" He replied.

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash nodded and took Cris's hand. "I guess it's now or never." He said with a small sigh as he stood up.
