Felicity chuckled at the memory. "That must've been fun. Your sister has a very diabolical mind there Bray. I can't say the same for any of my family." Fay rolled her eyes. The only real person who matched Fay's intellect had been her father. Her mother was -- and still is -- a bit of a ditz.

Another chance? Another chance for Fay to put herself in more danger, more stressful situations. Felicity sighed and moved her hand to rub her head. She winced though, remembering only after she did it that she still was sore there.

"I don't think I can do that Ash." Fay tilted her head back and rested it against the wall. "I can't go back to that, I need to start looking after myself again."

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash bit his lip and turned away to hide the tears gathering in his eyes. He turned back to Fay, "Fay please, you have to believe me. I won't put you through that again. I promise. I'm not that person anymore. I gave Maxi and Laney another chance, why can't you do the same for me?"

[Bradyn Reed]

Bradyn rolled his eyes over-dramatically at Fay. "Fun? You really could categorize something like that as fun? Maybe I ought to prank you like I do my family, then you'll see just how fun it is." Ah, well, Fay pretty much knew how the Reeds were anyway from the time Fay insisted that she come over and see how he lived. (a thread which we still need to do, al *shakes fist at.. self for not starting it*)

Bray had to force himself not to roll his eyes at Ash's begging for them to take him back, and stayed by his comment of them not going to run back to him like... wait, why'd he say puppies? He absolutely hated dogs with a passion, and must've temporarily lost his mind. Smirking a bit at the drama surrounding him, he just stood up and held out his hand to drag Fay up too. "If you can change so quickly, then so can we. We'll change in a way that just moves on without you." He said, using the plural because he was pretty sure Fay was thinking the same thing. "And Maxi and Laney are completely different cases, can't you understand that, Laurent?"

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash just stared up at Bray, tears welling in his sapphire eyes. He sighed and hung his head. "No, I don't understand. I don't understand why you're not willing to let me prove to you that I'm not going to hurt you."

[Felicity Locke]

"I'd like to see you try. I know you too well Bray. I don't think you could get away with it." Felicity stuck her tongue out at him and laughed. That, and her house elves would probably warn her about it anyway. Unless Bray could somehow con them into thinking it was for Fay's own good, then she'd just have to rely on something else.

Oh god there it was again, those god forsaken tears. Everytime something happened he didn't like, there they were. It was almost like he was a kid throwing a tantrum because they didn't get what they wanted.

Fay took Bray's hand and hoisted herself up. "Look at the facts Ash, and piece it together. We're Ravenclaws, we're good at those things." She gently nudged Bray's arm with her elbow and began walking away. Her head throbbed worse than before now, with this added on little incident. Perhaps she needed a vacation.

[Bradyn Reed]

Bradyn rolled his eyes as Fay seemed to think she was above his pranking ability. Please, he got Dar pretty much multiple times a day, why would Fay be any different. "Yeah, yeah. You'll see. I'll get you." He said, though the threat was hardly there with his grin.

Then seeing that Ash was starting to cry and go into his little puppy dog face for the millionth time, Bray tried not to slap him and shout 'be a man!' since that wouldn't be helpful at all in this situation. Instead, he just kept quiet and decided to let Fay handle it. She was always better with emotional Ash; Bray, not so much. Feeling her jab him in the arm, he bit his lip not to grunt an ouch and then look around before he realized that was the signal for him to go. Jogging a little to catch up with her quick angry strides, he frowned at her. "You alright, Fay?" He didn't think she looked too happy, but there was something else there.. pain? Whether at Ash or physical was beyond his ability to read into.

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash just sat there and stared as his friends, correction- ex- friends walked away. "Yeah, good at walking out on supposed friends!" he muttered to himself. Leaning back against the wall, he was unable to stop the tears from rolling silently down his face. Not that he actually tried of course. I wish Cris or Laney was here. he thought to himself.

Cris had been looking for Ash all day, and he was nowhere in his usual places, so he'd gone to taking up searching the corridors. Sighing, he was about to give up when he finally spotted him, crying. Frowning, he walked over to him.
"Hey, what's the matter?" he said pulling him into a hug, so Ash's head was at Cris's chest.

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash looked up to see Cris, he buried his face in Cris' chest and cried harder. "I don't understand. Why are they doing this?" he cried.

[christianmartinez]

Cris shrugged and held him tighter.
"I dont know" he sighed. He really wasn't sure. Maybe he should try speaking to Fay and Bray alone?

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash sniffled and wiped his eyes, "Why do they have to be so stubborn? How many times do I have to apologize?"
