Lily thought for a moment. "I couldn't tell you what it is I'm feeling because I don't know how to describe it." She thought some more. "I think I can do it again. I mean, now I know I can do it. Now I know I can get them to leave me. Now I know I hold the power. I have the key to my own destiny."

"Exactly!" Drew answered back enthusiastically. "So now that you have the power, we have to celebrate! What are we going to do?"

"Go back to bed," Lily said. "I'm tired and you should be sleeping too but you're not and you won't tell me why. I wasn't planning on being up for long - I'm still worn out from having the flu. And now that I can finally sleep, I want to so much."

"Party pooper..." Drew teased, grinning at her. Her news had invigorated him and he was seriously ready to do something fun. "But you're right. Go get some sleep and we'll celebrate in the morning."
What he was going to do until then, he didn't know.

"You need to get some sleep too Drew," Lily said. "I'm not the only one who needs to get sleep. I'm older in fact, may I remind you. I'm taking authority here. Either you march your big butt straight up to the dorms or you tell me what's wrong. Because I know something is wrong. You're doing that avoiding the subject thing again."

"And you keep trying to force me to tell you what's wrong when nothing is," Drew answered back, shaking his head at her. Her pestering was quickly wearing away the good mood he had just found, replacing it with frustration. "Go to bed. I'll see you in the morning."

"Fine," Lily said. "But I know you better than that. So don't talk to me. Don't trust me do whatever you like. I don't care anymore if that's the attitude you're going to take with me." Lily was very hurt. She knew what Drew was like, she spent more time around Drew than she did anyone else. There is just a thing with friends - you know when something is bugging them. She was hurt that Drew wouldn't talk to her. She trusted him so why couldn't he trust her? She stood up, turning her face away from Drew.

"What do you want me to say?" Drew answered back, moving past frustration and slowly approaching anger. "I don't even know what the heck you're talking about! What attitude?"

"Whenever something's wrong you never tell me," Lily said. "You always try and change the subject. Everytime something has ever been wrong. It's what you do Drew, if you realize it or not. But you told me to go to bed. You're too strong to talk about whatever it is that's bothering you." She began to move slowly towards the steps.

"Nothing is wrong!" Drew cried out. "I told you to go to bed because you said you were sleepy! I'm not, so I'm staying up. Is that okay with you? You told me about your dream and I wanted to hear about it. How is that changing the subject?"

"This is not normal for you Drew," Lily said, turning around. "You should be in bed like every other night of the year. Why aren't you tired? We just started classes and they always make everyone tired. I know you better than that Drew and something is bothering you otherwise you would be sleeping."

Now he was mad.
"Not normal for me? You've known me one year, Lily! How can you know what's normal for me?" he shot back. "If you knew me, you'd know that tonight is no different from a heck of a lot of other nights this year... the only DIFFERENCE is I had a little friendly company tonight, got some good news, and started feeling a little less stressed about the whole situation. But, yeah... thanks for ruining that."
"Go to bed. I'll talk to you in the morning," he grumbled, turning back to the fire.

"I'm sorry," Lily said. "I didn't mean to make you made. I thought I knew you Drew. I thought we were friends, but if you can't even tell me what's wrong, how am I supposed to trust you? How am I supposed to help if I don't know what's wrong?" Her face was crestfallen. The one she thought she knew, was not who she thought he was.

"There's nothing wrong!" Drew answered back before sinking his head into his hands out of sheer frustration. He had made the claim so often that night that even he was starting to believe it.

"Fine!" Lily replied. "Lie to yourself. Lie to me. Lie to the whole bloody world if you want to. I don't care anymore. So blame me for trying to help you. Blame me for trying to be a good friend. I'm sorry if I'm going about it all wrong. Physician heal thyself!" She mocked back at him.
