What can I do. What can I /do/?! I'm not taking a flamethrower to the ice. What was....what fixes it....shit, I don't know. Seculus just sort of...touched her? There's no way she'll let me touch her. Fuck. Come on, think.....to hell with it, there's nothing else that comes to mind, and without a solution to even try and fail at I'm being just as passive-aggressively useless as always. I looked down at my hands, stepped forward, and hugged her.

Too cold to move. Too cold to do anything. She just...leaned on him. The best she could.

This isn't doing anything. I don't know what I was expecting, but maybe something more than absolutely nothing. Obviously I have no idea what I'm doing. Who does? Seculus, of course. Sorry, Ivory. I let go and ran for the door.

He left. Cold. /Cold./ Oh well. Too frozen to be sad. She slowly made her way to her room, and tried not to freeze everything.

Holy /fuck/, his place really is far away! By the time I got there I was gasping for air with my hands on my knees. Having half a wooden torso didn't help my respiratory system any. I banged on the door with my normal fist and thankfully he answered and not that shit Tassek, looking confused. I had my other hand in my pocket, out of sight, when I declared "Ivory needs your help, get over there, /right now/." "What did you--" "Blame me later, GET OUT OF HERE! And yes she loves you, she just loves other people equally and couldn't pick one, so no putting it off by sulking!" I shoved him one-handed down the hallway and slumped against the wall when he was gone, exhausted.

There's something wrong with Madison, but that doesn't matter as much because /there's something wrong with Ivory/. Had he just been over there? What did he do to her? I charged in and ran upstairs to her room. When I saw her covered in ice and huddled on her bed, I gasped, ran over, and held her closely. "Madison told me you were in trouble, what /happened/, are you....do you really....."

The last thing she expected was for him to get Seculus. She almost jumped in surprise when she saw him in her room. At first, she just threw her arms around him and held him close to her. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. My emotions got the best of me. F-Fuck, I'm freezing." She spoke as she shivered.

"No, no, it's not your fault. Just try and calm down." I stroked her hair, running my fingers along the ice.

She held him as she could without hurting him as she shivered. "I-Okay....Okay."

2015-10-26 20:45:17

🌀

"Just.....what happened? What did he do?"

2015-10-26 20:46:53

●

"For once...he didn't do anything. I just got pissed off."

2015-10-26 20:47:42

🌀

"Since he was here, he must have been at least related to the reason you were mad. I'm sorry....was it because of what happened at the cafe?"

2015-10-26 20:49:25

●

"...A little." A lot.

2015-10-26 20:50:06

🌀

A lot. Oh...... "....I'm sorry....I just........."

2015-10-26 20:50:49

●

She blinked back tears. "I'm sorry. /I'm sorry./"

2015-10-26 20:52:01

🌀

"........no, it's not your fault.....I'm just.......unlovable."

2015-10-26 20:52:47

●

" No, no. You're not unlovable! You're so great and I'm just...not enough. I'm just a fucking mess." Tears ran down her face now.

2015-10-26 20:54:18

🌀

"......you're not........" I wiped her face with my sleeve, then pulled off my sweater and tugged it down over her head.

2015-10-26 20:55:28

●

She struggled with it as she pulled it over her body. "I am. I'm sorry. I'm /so/ sorry. I wish I was better for you."

2015-10-26 20:57:33

🌀

"...well, you're better for me than anyone /else/. Please don't apologize...."

2015-10-26 20:58:52

●

"But I..."

2015-10-26 20:59:27

🌀

".....but you what?"

2015-10-26 20:59:42

●

"But I can't even be certain of my own emotions anymore. I...know I love you. At least I thought I did. But...I guess I was wrong about myself."

2015-10-26 21:00:43

🌀

"...if....you know you do, and you weren't just pretending on purpose...then it must be real. But even if you are pretending....please don't go."

2015-10-26 21:02:10

●

"I don't want to /pretend./ I want it to be /real./ I wouldn't pretend to be scared of losing you. I really /am./"

2015-10-26 21:04:26

🌀

"..then isn't that real?"
