Lily was quiet. "Do you remember the first time I met you?" Lily asked, slightly changing the subject. "You said you were going to get me to ok. And I think, I think I'm almost there." She looked into the fire. "I've given you every reason to run. Run far, far away. But you haven't. But that doesn't make me any less afraid you will. I have trust issues in that area."

"I said I wasn't going to leave," Drew insisted, not sure where these girls kept getting the idea that he would.
And maybe that was the problem, he started to wonder. Were they pushing at him to make him go? Were they sick of him and trying to get rid of him? Was that why Alhana left school?

"You're not the probelm Drew," Lily said. "It's me. You always think it's your fault and it's not. I'm the messed up one. I try not to think that everyone will leave me, but yet somehow they always do. I just wish I could trust, but I don't think I can trust. It's too hard."

Drew frowned back at her, biting his lip a little before speaking. "You keep trying to make me out as some sort of perfect guy and I'm not," he said. "I'm not that. I can't be that. Nine times out of ten, it IS my fault."

"You do it too," Lily said. "I'm not the only one who does it. There will be sometimes where you'll go all quiet. You feel guilty cause you had a perfect life growing up. Don't deny it, I can tell. I'm good at reading into people most of the time. But all these fights between us, that's mostly my fault."

"I did NOT have a perfect life," Drew countered, getting a little angry. "And how am I supposed to feel guilty over something I can't even help? You're the one who keeps labeling me as having this perfect life. I just wish you'd cut it out because it's wrong. NO ONE has a perfect life. Perfection is boring!"

Lily was quiet. This is what always happened wasn't it? All they were doing is having a go at each others feelings. She really hated fighting. She really did. She saw the fights vividly, all of them, she would never forget a fight in her life. They hurt to much to forget. She didn't want to show Drew how much she hurt. She had to be strong. She wasn't supposed to let things like this hurt her.

Drew stayed silently in his seat next to her, not wanting to move, but also not wanting to stay.
He knew he had grown up better off than most: big house, nice things, two loving parents. And it wasn't like there was anything there he had to be ashamed of. It just frustrated him that he had been given that label of perfection. He didn't feel guilty about his family. He felt guilty about how bad it made other people feel.

Lily was quiet for a bit more. She was frustrated at everything in the world, but mostly at herself. "Why does everything have to be so complicated?" Lily said. "Why can't it just be like when we were little? I think that's why we don't remember what it was like to be babies, because we'd miss it to much."

"Maybe," Drew answered quietly, with a small shrug. "Life was definitely a lot less complicated then, wasn't it?"

"Yeah," Lily said with a small smile. "You slept, ate and went to the bathroom. You cried when you needed something and everybody thought you were the most adorable thing in the world. There were no fights and everybody doted on your every move. It was certainly different."

"That's pretty much how it goes for me now, come to think of it," Drew answered with a soft little smile. "Except for the whole fighting thing of course."

Lily smiled. "I used to babysit this adorable little girl," she said. "Her name was Sydney. I think she learned to say my name before anyone elses. I babysat her all summer while her mum worked. She couldn't pay me cause they didn't make much, but I watched Sydney anyways. She was such a sweet little girl."

"Little kids are fun at that age," Drew answered with a small smile. "My baby cousin just turned three. It was best when she was figuring out the whole magic thing. My uncle was happy, but we all know he was hoping at least one of the kids would turn out Muggle."

"He - he still loves her right though?" Lily asked. She didn't want someone else to turn out the way she had. No one should have to go through that kind of pain in their heart. She was thinking about Sydney. Sydney was the reason she could see theastrals, Sydney was the reason she felt betrayed a lot of the time. Sydney was too young for what had become of her.
