Continuing to hold her hand, he let his thumb gently stroke the back of it as he thought. Another small breath escaped him as he looked back up at Alexa, including Dylan in the sweep of his eyes. "You did not want to hurt people, you would never intentionally do so. You are not a bad person. I know that, your family knows that, the school knows that. You were caught in the torrent of something you couldn't control; no one blames you. But...as I know you will not take those words of truth to heart..."
He reached out and wiped away her tears. "You are forgiven. All of you, by all of us. You have shed tears enough to water the flowers of the whole school." He gave them both a small smile. "Perhaps, it is time to watch them bloom." "Sabel, I just found out that the only member of my family that has ever given a damn about me is dead, she left behind her broken husband and my twin cousins. I hurt a lot of people and I just want you to be angry with me, all of you. Maybe that would help me... Just let me feel what I am feeling. I am tired of all of you saying it will be okay. You didn't do the things that we did, you have no idea how I feel," she said in a monotone, slightly elevated voice. Quote:

He looked at Sabel, "Sabel. I know you are trying to help, but you aren't. I would know." He patted the lad on the shoulder, "Chill a bit. Alexa will get over it when she chooses. You can't make her." He gave her another squeeze. "In your own time sweetheart," he said, quietly, smiling at her. Oh praise Merlin! Someone who got it!! She immediately clung to Dylan and cried harder still. "She's dead, Dylan my Aunt that I told you about... she'd dead. And they keep telling me it will be okay. It bloody will not be any damn where near okay! I feel broken," she sobbed as she clung to Dylan. Quote:

He figured he knew exactly what was up--she was still shaken up over the whole fight that had occurred a few weeks ago. He bit his lip--what could he say to help her calm down? He knew that she and a lot of the other people who had been cursed were having a rough time getting over it, but no matter how many times they assured her that it wasn't her fault and she would never do any of that stuff in her right mind, he wasn't sure it would help. Maybe it was one of those things that she had to realize herself.
He looked at Dylan who voiced those thoughts a second later. Jack bit his lip, feeling he should say SOMETHING still rather than just ignore her. "Alexa...it's ok. You'll be alright. You'll pull through this," he assured her.
Feeling that it wouldn't be too useful saying anything else, he awkwardly grabbed a plate and started to pile on food. Alexa glared at Jack for a moment and then said, "It is not okay and I may not pull through this.... you have no idea, Jack."
Letting go of Dylan and looking at both Sabel and Jack she shook her head. "I need some fresh air...." she said as she got up and started walking away from the Gryffie table. |
