HufflepuffMeg: Hello, Susan. *smiles*
ShiningSusan: Hey Meg!
HufflepuffMeg: What're you up to? *looks over your shoulder*
ShiningSusan: Trying to hex Percy through the computer. Prat.
HufflepuffMeg: Yes! How awful of him!
ShiningSusan: Grrr. He needs to get laid. *indignant hmmph*
ShiningSusan: Gah, and now Kaite posted a quiz result...
HufflepuffMeg: I don't think even that would cure him of his worst character traits.
HufflepuffMeg: But points can't be taken away from her. Quite brilliant, I think. *smiles*
ShiningSusan: *sigh* Yes, it was.
HufflepuffMeg: And-- *hesitates* You aren't mad at me, are you?
ShiningSusan: About the Ron thing?
HufflepuffMeg: Right.
ShiningSusan: Um...
HufflepuffMeg: *biting at her lip, waiting for Susan's response*
ShiningSusan: I don't know...I just...
ShiningSusan: Maybe we need to...
HufflepuffMeg: *wide eyes* Maybe we need to--?
ShiningSusan: Maybe we need to reevaluate this...maybe take some time...
HufflepuffMeg: *swallows* Maybe take some time to...?
ShiningSusan: Well, it's become increasingly obvious to me that maybe...maybe I'm not what you need. With you staying with Terence and Ron, you know? Maybe you just need to decide what you need. Maybe...
ShiningSusan: I don't know Meg...
HufflepuffMeg: I didn't--I didn't mean to hurt you, Susan--
ShiningSusan: No no...I know. You wouldn't. But it really does hurt.
HufflepuffMeg: I'm--I --you *swallows again* I just. *looks down, surpressing a shudder* They're friends. That's all, Susan--I--
ShiningSusan: But you haven't even told me that you'd be gone, so I wait. And then I find out that you've been sleeping with them....Meg, sometimes I feel like I don't know you.
HufflepuffMeg: I--I hadn't seen you yet and so--I *closes her eyes, still looking down*
ShiningSusan: I don't want to break up, but Meg...
HufflepuffMeg: *nods slowly, looking anywhere but at Susan* I... understand.
ShiningSusan: I just need you to *think*. Think Meg!
HufflepuffMeg: *finally stares straight at Susan* What do you want me to think? I can't help it, I can't--I'm not--I'm so sorry! *her eyes glisten, but no tears fall*
ShiningSusan: Nevermind Megan.
HufflepuffMeg: *softly* I just... I want to hold onto everything.
ShiningSusan: I know.
HufflepuffMeg: So--*hopeful look*
ShiningSusan: So...I just don't know how to handle this Megan.
HufflepuffMeg: *doesn't know what to say--she knows that anything she'd say would somehow be the wrong thing*
ShiningSusan: *looks about but sees nothing* I just...maybe I need to know that this'll stop.
HufflepuffMeg: *takes a step towards Susan, looking up* Tell me what you need me to stop and I will.
ShiningSusan: I need to stop worrying whether you're going to be with Ron or Terence or the next boy to come along.
HufflepuffMeg: .... *nods* Alright.
ShiningSusan: *sigh* Okay.
HufflepuffMeg: *slowly* Are we--are we okay, then?
ShiningSusan: I don't know, I think so.
HufflepuffMeg: *sad, but hides it behind a weak smile* I'm glad.
ShiningSusan: *realizes that this
ShiningSusan: but also knows that this part of their relationship had to be discussed*
HufflepuffMeg: *leans over to kiss Susan on the cheek, a little awkward* I'm going to visit Athena, alright?
ShiningSusan: All right. I'll be here.
HufflepuffMeg: *nods* I'll see you later!
ShiningSusan: Okay.
