Really, Felicity didn't see why the Ravengirl seemed so nervous. Drew was always trying to help someone, and she understood that he had wanted to help the girl. While she wasn't too enthusiastic about what Drew had told her, he hadn't told her much, mainly because she really did need to use the bathroom, but even then, while she might've listened to what he had to say, she wouldn't have put as much stock in it as many would've.
Drew just had that urge to help everyone he could, and she liked that about him, a lot. Even if sometimes she didn't seem to, it was one quality about him she had noticed right away...well, besides his knack for choosing adorable boxers, it was one quality.
"He's really nice like that," she replied about Drew. "He helps me with a lot with stuff, too. Most of it is class work. I'm not very good with wandwork, and he's agreed to help me a bit when I need it, which depending on the lesson, usually means a requirement of him being there to teach me," she added with a giggle. "But he likes helping people, and I think it's really nice of him to, it's something I like about him."
Pulling her knees up to hug them, she smiled over at the blue-eyed girl, she didn't seem to be too bad so far. Maybe Drew was just exaggerating because of circumstances. "I've a question, though. Why do you think you did something? I mean, why don't you think you're friends anymore?"

Oh yes he was really nice like that, but the niceness only went so far when it pertained to Lily it seemed. Lily held her tongue on this matter though - she was smarter than that. At least, presently anyways. She had never really mastered the art of tongue holding, and what wasn't said presently was usually said at some point later on.
"Because I know I did something," Lily said. "It's just what I do. I've always screwed up lots of things and Drew was my first friend and the first guy who was ever nice to me. I just . . . I guess . . . I didn't know how to deal with it very well? I had a lot of issues and problems, most of them inside my head, but they were seriously messing me and my relationships up. I don't know where to start saying I screwed it up. I pushed away time and time again. Said and did hurtful and unfriendlike things, because I never really knew what it was to have a friend. Everyone takes them for granted I suppose, but I just never knew then what it meant to be friends. How friends act. I could list a number of examples that screwed it up. Me kissing Drew. Me running away from all my problems, never turning to anyone when I needed help because I didn't know how to turn to people. But I always held hope that I'd be able to fix it somehow eventually in the end. Last time I was here, I apologized and he seemed to be pretty cool with that. But apparently he's not and to be frank - I've given up trying."
Lily leaned her head back against the wall and closed her eyes. She wanted to apologize for how long that was. How dreadfully spew like it was. But she wouldn't. If Felicity wanted to know how she screwed it up, well she was more than happy to tell her. Maybe it would save Felicity from making the same mistake Drew obviously felt he did by befriending Lily.

Again the pink bunny appeared in the girl, but Felicity didn't quite mind so much this time. At least she wasn't being mean to Drew, but Felicity didn't really like that she was being mean to herself either. Rather than interrupting her, as she had a tendency to do at times, she tried to pay attention, it wasn't hard to do, but she wasn't much of a listener, much preferring to talk herself.
How the girl believed she'd messed such things up, she wasn't sure. Usually it took two to tango, to put it in such terms, it wasn't always one person. Sometimes, it was just a combination of things or people, at times both. And dealing with things...well, that's when you went to the library, as she and Celina had done many times before. It just made life easier, going to the library and doing research. All right, so it didn't always make life easier, but it did help at times, other than adding to the amount of things already piled to do and sometimes confusing her.
However, the library had proven very useful, a few times. Mostly when she was doing research on crushes, and when she was doing research on some of the things Drew talked about, but it was still there to be of service.
When she mentioned the kiss, her light brown eyes narrowed slightly, she didn't like that tidbit in the least, but she had to force herself to remember what Drew told her. He'd gone straight to his girlfriend, and that was good. Besides, she knew she could trust him to do something of the like if anything ever happened like that...it wouldn't make it any easier, but she knew he'd go to her.
"You shouldn't give up," she told her pointedly. "Giving up is in a way, giving in. I'm sure you don't want to do that, it isn't something that's wonderful to do. And, it may be hard to turn to someone and I know you may not always know when to, but even if it's the last thing you do, it should still be done. I mean, I'm not a very good listener all of the time, but if you ever needed to talk to someone, I'd listen, or try to," she told her with a small smile. It sounded like the girl really needed a friend, and Felicity was more than up for such a thing, friends were always needed, even if someone insisted they were better off without one, they needed one. Or at least that's how she viewed it.

"I know I shouldn't give up," Lily said with a sigh. She knew that very well. Giving up came easy to Lily, but never on this one issue in particular. "Drew gave up a long time ago. And all I've ever been doing since then is me and him both. Do you think I like being rejected in a way like that, time and time again? I try to fix it, but nothing I can do will work, unless he wants to fix it too." But he didn't, and Lily had excepted this. At least for the time being. It was house arrest in the great hall due to fire that brought them together as friends the first time, was it only fair that house arrest in the great hall due to hostage situation finally made Lily realize it was over forever?
"Thanks. I appreciate that. And the same goes for you likewise. I never used to talk as much as I do. It used to be that getting me to talk was like pulling teeth. I know can't be easy for you right now; I was shocked last night myself. But what I get from you is that you're strong, and you're gonna make it all right." It seemed like Felicity was never the sort of person who would have needed a boy to define her, like Lily had in the past.
