"I know," Lily said. "Everything's a hard habit to break. But I think I've broken worse habits before. I'm ready." She nodded. "Yes I'm ready." There was a quiet determination to her voice.

"Good," Allegra answered with a supportive smile. "The next step is to figure out what you want to do about Drew. Word of warning, he doesn't respond well to being ambushed. And if you try and talk to him, he's just going to say everything is fine. Heck, he probably thinks it is."

"Well," Lily said. "Should I tell you about the last time I talked to Drew? Would that help us figure out what to do about him?" She closed her notebook and placed it under her pillow. She didn't feel like writing anymore. She muttered something about guys being difficult.

"That might be a good place to start," Allegra answered. She had gotten a little bit of his side, but it hadn't been very much. He had mostly said Lily was on an anti-Drew kick and had been avoiding him.

"Alright," Lily said. "Well I was dancing and Drew came in and well I apologized and it just seemed like he wouldn't accept the apology. And then I was trying to talk with him but all he would say is okay."
((And you would have a more detailed report if that hadn't been archived already))

"You hurt him... you hurt him pretty badly," Allegra told her. Drew had never actually said it, but she could tell from what he had said. "Do you really think he wants to open himself for that kind of pain again? Would you?"

"No," Lily said quietly. "But yet I do. Somehow every time I get hurt I tell myself that I won't let it happen again. But then I let it. Because sometimes I know that if you let your life be ruled by your hurts nothing will ever happen, good or bad. And I'd like to let my life be ruled by that sometimes, that fear, that chance to do nothing and let nothing happen. But I can't let myself do that."

"Sounds like the most optomistic thing I've ever heard you say," Allegra told her. "Of course, if you don't learn from your hurts, that's beyond optomism... that's just being blind. You can hope for the best, but you have to be smart about it too."

"Well I learn from them alright," Lily said, and for a moment her eyes flashed with some unexplainable feeling. "I always learn the very hardest way there is. But at least I learn?" She offered, trying to be optimistic and not say that it sucked.

"As long as you're really learning and not making the same mistakes over and over again," Allegra answered. "Yeah... then it's good. But if you're just learning better and faster ways to let people take advantage of you, that's not so good."

"I don't want anyone to ever take advantage of me again," Lily said. "I need to stick up for myself and stand my ground. So much of my life I've spent lurking in the shadows and letting people do what they wish with me. But I'm afraid standing my ground and trying to fix things isn't doing much better either."
