Louisa's train of thoughts was snapped shut as Vivi started talking about cutting the "acquaintanceship" with Vickers and by extension Louisa's, which according to her would be better than continue being... friends.

She had to blink, swallow, gape and rewind everything that happened from the start of this term before saying anything foolish or stupid.

They met at the feast, Louisa thought Vivi was being too friendly to Vickers and that she had other intentions, an idea that got quickly removed after knowing the full story of their friendship. Then both Ravenclaw girls grew slightly closer, albeit both bossy and sarcastic, Louisa thought that just made them understood each other more. However, Vivi seemed to isolate herself from the group so suddenly and maybe Louisa never really paid much attention to those gestures but they still tugged at of her subconscious.

And then there's the first obvious evidence to this nonsense. At the quidditch match when Milton kissed Vivi and Vickers wanted to leave instantly and... looked... so... uncomfortable.

No.

Louisa's cheeks flushed and she had to swallow once again, "W-what's happened?" What possibly could have gotten between them to reach such a harsh destructive decision? "I mean, you and Vickers had an argument? I thought he was your best friend, first friend... something like that! And why would I stop talking to you if you two had a fight?" Because Louisa didn't allow Vickers to leave his friends who hurt her and stopped being her friends.

So no.. this situation was not making sense right now.
UGH. This was turning into a mess, and Vivi didn't have the easy excuse of walking away. Not when she lived in this room. Maybe Aspen would let her sleep the night in her room? Vivi dumped all the chocolate frog cards into a carton and resolved to give them to Lex later. Maybe the girl collected them, since she ate so many?

It was important not to lie, and not to tell lies by omission, just as it was important not to overshare a secret that wasn't hers. Did it hurt Louisa to know that Vivi had feelings, so long as she didn't realize that Vickers was... confused about his own? Maybe just the part that Vivi was allowed to say. As it stood now, she was turning Vick into the bad guy, acting like he'd really ended their friendship when all he'd done was let Vivi walk away.

"We... didn't have an argument, precisely. We're just on opposite sides of an issue. He's my best friend, but it's important you know that I'm not his best friend. I think you are, and I think that's how it should be. I'm sure we'll make up some day, but it's best for everyone if we just..." There was something caught in her throat, and she struggled over it before continuing, her eyes still down in case Louisa caught a gleam of tears. Vivi didn't cry. Ever ever. "We can... still be friends, you and I."

Even if it hurt just as much as continuing her friendship with Vickers. Having to hear happy Louisa talking about her wonderful life with Vickers was just as painful as seeing him and not being able to have him.
