Can someone take notes for me I'm sick


[[Private]]

hate full moon         could fly and fly if they let me have a broom and
               be on the other side of the earth when it's night so
        hate when it was *jagged line*         cold

..'k...

*not really aware of time passing -- just lying there being sick and miserable*

[vivigoldnblack.livejournal.com]

*after about an hour and much persuading of house elves, Vivi finely shows up with a bowl of soup*

... Jei?

**behind a partition in the back of the Hospital Wing*

..Unhh......

[vivigoldnblack.livejournal.com]

*sneeks over very slowly*

Aah, are you really okay? You don't look so good ... aah, well I mean ... umm I ... I made you soup ....

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

It's... it's fine, really.... *raises a shaky hand, not sure exactly where Vivi or the bowl is* I just... ugh... That smells good...

[vivigoldnblack.livejournal.com]

*pulls a chair over and sits down, then carefully guides Jei's hand so that he knows where the bowl is* You're sure? 'Cus ... well ... *sniffles a little, trying not to get all sappy* you're not just sick ... are you ... what really happened?

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*arms shake a bit, but he manages not to knock the bowl over; he curls one hand around it so it doesn't go over by accident*

*plaintive* I... How does everyone know I'm not just sick?

[vivigoldnblack.livejournal.com]

Because you don't look sick. You look like ... like something hurt you ... really bad ...

*rubs face where the steam from the soup is making his skin tingle a bit*


..I....

*hunches shoulders and lies* I got attacked by ghouls.....

[vivigoldnblack.livejournal.com]

*shocked and amazed* Wha, really? That's awful! I didn't know things like that could happen here. It must have been horrible ... but ... but you'll be better soon right? Because, they have spells and potions and thinks that can help ...

But ... if that's what happened then ... why did you lie?

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

"Th-that's why!" whimpered Jei, hunching over the bowl. The pain and guilt and misunderstanding weighed down far too heavily on his slender shoulders. "Th-they're already curing me and... and there's nothing anyone can do, and I didn't want.... I'm not....."

[vivigoldnblack.livejournal.com]

I-I didn't ... I mean ... I'm sorry if I said anything wrong. I just wanted to know because ... because ... you're my friend ... and I want to help you.

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*shivering -- is so not used to being spoken to that way; hardly knows what he's saying as fears he doesn't quite understand spill forth all at once*

But what if you can't help me? Is it still worth being my f-friend?

[vivigoldnblack.livejournal.com]

Are you kidding? It's even more worth it then! Because ... *sniffling a little* ... because everyone needs someone to help them. Even if it's just little stuff. And ... everyone needs someone to care about them. Family. And friends. If I can't ... can't really help ... then the very least I could do is try and be a good friend to you.

((ooc: aah, he's a sentimental sap, I apologies))

*breath catching in his throat, squeezes his eyes tightly shut -- these are things that people just don't say to him, but it's happened so often at Hogwarts....*

You... you really believe those things?


[[Awwww! ^___^
..sorry for uber lateness, I kept not knowing what he'd say... XD]]

[vivigoldnblack.livejournal.com]

Eeh? Well, ya ...

I never really had friends before I came here ... so I'm sure that, well, that I don't understand everything ... but ... but you're my friend! I know it for sure. And ... and I just wanna do what I can for you.

(('sokay, drama takes time X3 ))

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*shoulders still hunched* I h-had no friends either..... s-so, if that is really what it means.... *hesitates, smiles a bit*

[vivigoldnblack.livejournal.com]

Well, that's what it means to me ... I'm sure at least some other people think the same way.

((btw, there is a private note to Jei for when he finds his journal, hehe))
