I just worry if I take too long... will I lose them?" Was that a possibility? Surely it had to be, right?
His words started sinking in. Maybe she was focused so much on her affection for Jasper that she failed to realise that there was someone who liked her so much more than he did? Huh... So did that mean.... Had she gone about thsi the wrong way? If Lisa had been more perceptive, she would have taken Jude's words and immediately thought of sweet Stewie. Her Ravenclaw best friend who was always with her. Who always cared for. Who was literally the goofiest but smartest person in the most awkward way. He had a great smile. However, Lisa was not perceptive to Stewie's feelings especially since she had run away from him the other day. She needed to talk with him and Serena. Oh, and Jasper too.
"You sound like... you've had a similar experience. Do you like the person who likes you very much?"
Did it all work?
Happy endings were a thing, right?
Jude wondered if he would ever let on to Lisa just how similar their experiences were. Maybe… maybe he should? It could help her, to show her that things start to get better eventually. “It’s always okay to need extra time,’’ he replied, smiling gently at her as he met her eyes with his. “Do you know why? Because there are times when you need to put yourself first. It’s not being selfish. You can only be the best version of yourself if you take care of you.” Ah, yes. The overthinking and worrying about losing the person or persons. “Not if they value and truly care about you.” Up until then he’d been avoiding making this about him but he wanted to show Lisa that taking time for herself didn’t always mean losing her friends. Besides, he assumed that she knew about him being in love with Evan by now. “I thought being around Evan would get easier after I told him how I felt last summer… despite him not feeling the same, we were still best friends. But it didn’t. And just like that, I stepped back from him. We didn't hang out and we certainly didn’t speak as much but he understood me. He knew that I needed time and he gave me it. Lisa, I took about three months until I felt up to resuming our friendship the way it had been. Evan held nothing against me.” Of course Jude still hurt about his feelings not being reciprocated but he was so, so grateful for Evan’s friendship and understanding. This Hufflepuff was always going to love that Ravenclaw.
Anyway, The fifth year only hoped that his words of wisdom and experience would help Lisa in some way. He was silent for a moment when the question was asked. Jude thought of Davet and his messy hair and kind, smiling face. He shook his head slowly. “Not as much as I like your brother,’’ came his response, one that was maybe a little too blunt. Just heart hurt just thinking about Evan not liking him back but he was going to deal with his own feelings later. Right now, there was more advice for his other favourite Ravenclaw. “Whatever happens, you can come to me when you’re having trouble dealing because it’s not easy, Lisa. Some days will be good but others will be so heart wrenching you’ll want to do nothing but curl up and cry your eyes out. Come to me and we’ll have ice cream or watch cheesy movies in the tech room or do whatever you want even if its crying together.” Jude reached out a finger to boop Lisa’s nose, much like what he did regularly to Keighley. “You’re a warrior princess. You can handle anything but it’s okay to have shoulders to cry on” And his were always available. "I adore you and I just want you to be okay, just so you know.'' Never afraid of showing or speaking how he felt, this one was. |
