And through the rising and falling apart, We discover who we are nico looked over as the sun rose. She had been there since early in the morning trying to figure out how things were going for the girl. she sucked in a breathe as the sun rose in front of her. She was in a long shirt with long sleeves and boots. She wasn’t cold either, as it wasn't winter time yet. She didn’t usually get cold now a days, later on as winter actually came along she would need leggings and a coat but right now nico was just fine. She liked to show off her legs, not a lot, but to be able to was fun. She liked the looks she got from some boys when she showed up anywhere in heels and a skirt, after all what girl didn’t like to be looked at? The way she saw it, as long she didn’t sleep with every boy that shot her a good look she would be okay. She wasn’t afraid to stand up to anyone no matter who they were or what their last name was. plus nico wasn't a follower. She didn’t like to do what everyone else was going. At least not as far as she knew. She liked to set her know things and her own rules. and that was how later on in the day she was in the detention room. Tick tock tick tock tick tock. nico watched the clock straight on. She hated being in detention not only because she was stupid enough to get caught but because she was in detention... there was really nothing worse than this. She prayed that the professor would just fall dead on the spot but of course he wouldn’t. She tried to keep her mind off the clock so that it would tick by faster but of course it wouldn’t. She thought about her recent night, her virginity out the window and so on. she let her mind wander about what she could do the rest of the day. she knew that time had had to have passes faster. Wrong because the clock was actually ticking slower! If she had her wand she would just charm the clock to go faster and fool the professor when he wasn’t look. He was after all nose deep into The Daily Prophet. nico moved her body a little towards her wand on the desk when she heard the professor mutter a ‘don’t even think about it’. She slummed back in her chair. The professor placed his paper down then glanced towards the clock. Time for the ‘don’t do this again’ speech she always got. She quickly zoned out when the professor opened his mouth. It wasn’t until the professor told her she could go that nico zoned back into her own mind.
nico headed straight for her dorm. the first she laid eyes on was her mirror, she tilted her head a little at the girl she saw the mirror she was looking at. It was her but a sadder version of her. She didn’t look like she had been enjoying herself one bit and that was a stinking lie. It was hard being herself. She wanted to be someone else, she wanted to be someone special, someone that was loved but that never really worked out for her. She wanted people to care for her wanted someone to hold her in their arms and whisper that they loved her and that they adored her and that they wanted nothing more than to hold her for the rest of their lives and to have her by their side forever, to be with them. There was one thing she lacked however, she last the ability to really want this for herself, sure she wanted it but never had she actually gone out of her way to have it. She should have because then she would be better off but she didn’t want to risk it. She didn’t have enough balls really to do that. She didn’t have enough courage to go up to the guy she was crushing on and telling him “I like you, when are we going out?” with as much courage as she could, with as much honor and dignity as this eighteen year old had in her. She believed in herself she knew that she could do it but she couldn’t she couldn’t go up to him and admit to feelings that could cause her to be the laughing stock of so many places, what if he had a girlfriend? Or what if he didn’t like her or worse what if he laughed in her face? It would be too much for her. What was she even thinking? She shouldn’t have been crushing on a guy that she had a one night stand with! it was insane! nico shook her head, she'd been cooped up too long with her detention and everything. nico ran her hands through her hair and found herself in the library. She made her way deep into the book shelves wondering if she'd find anything or anyone interesting. tag open, 847, picture to caution, long shirt and boots, some one take it?

[/div] i have grown too strong, finding olivia in the library wasn't an uncommon occurrence, really. she was, after all, a magical law student, and that meant lots of essays, thick books, and memorising wizengamot judgements until it felt like your eyes were going to bleed. it wasn't like she particularly liked the library – on the contrary, she would have much preferred to have been with michael, or with her friends, or, well, anywhere but the library, really. but she had an essay due, and she'd set aside two hours to solidly work on it today before she let herself have any time with anything she'd actually enjoy. it was a good system. it meant she got work done and then got to reward herself. really, spending time with her friends and michael was just a small reward; if she did much longer it would have had to have been a slice of lemon cake on top of that. but she wasn't at hogwarts any more; she knew she had to study harder with a law degree at the end of this four years. that meant less rewards for the same amount of time as she had at hogwarts, more hours staring at spindly print as if it held the meaning of the universe instead of just the ratio of a wizengamot trial from the eighteenth century. the idea didn't exactly fill her with joy, it was true, but what degree she'd walk out with, being able to be a lawyer... that thought did. the thought of actually standing up in wizengamot, or helping aurors deal with criminals... it was all awfully exciting for an eighteen year old. it kept her going through the hours like this, spent in the library searching for the right book, let alone the judgement inside which actually mattered.
sighing heavily, she made her way down between the shelves, her mind wandering as she stared blankly at the titles in front of her. half of them were in latin, and she could have sworn that some of them were in gobbledegook. squeezing her eyes shut for a moment, she squinted at the titles, running her fingers down the spines as if that would help her. instead all it did was lift her engagement ring into the light and cause it to catch it, glinting in the corner of her eye. the sight made her relax a little, a smile taking the place of the frown that had started to form on her face as she tried to read. instead of keeping her mind in the place of goblin judgements and whether the laws removing their rights to bear wands had been ultra vires, she was instead thinking about michael, and the wedding, and the rest of their life together. as it was right now, home was still with her parents; hopefully, soon (before the wedding, that was) she'd be living with him, making sure that everything was perfect and that nothing would go wrong. but then again, of course nothing could go wrong. after all, by the time she actually said “i do” she would have had more than ample time to plan everything, to make sure that all of the possibilities were accounted for and make sure that everything was going to go as smoothly as she'd dreamed of all those years before. whether or not she was going to arrive in a horse drawn carriage as she thought she would back then was still up for debate – her mother had suggested winged horses, but that was extravagant and, more importantly, could cause so many more issues. which was not an option for olivia.
olivia liked things organised, planned. she was good at keeping things organised. even in a new place like the university, that was the first thing she had made sure. and when things were organised, there was time to relax and have fun. but that came after her studying, she had to remind herself sternly, and tear her gaze away from the ring she'd been wearing for two years now, and therefore should be used to by now. finally deciding on a book, she pulled it out, staggering a little when she realised how heavy it was, and straightened – only to find herself staring at the familiar face of her cousin-in-two-ways-because-their-families-were-insane, nico lestrange. raising an eyebrow, she balanced the book on her hip before she spoke in the way that would probably make nico regret being related to her at all. “what the fuck are you doing deep in the magical law section, nico? you in some sort of trouble you need help with?” 802 words, outfit, for alex, hope it works !

And through the rising and falling apart, We discover who we are nico ran her hands over the books slowly. none of them really grasped her attention but she wasn't really looking at them. she was more paying attention to what she had recently done and with who she had done it with. why had she done it? she shouldn't have done it she knew that much. she didn't want to. well she did but she hadn't had wanted it to actually happen. but it had all happened so fast and before she knew it, she was falling asleep in his arms feeling content. however the next morning everything had come to her like a ton of bricks, she remembered slapping him for even mentioning for them to take it to an actual relationship. she never wanted anything from that prick and to give him something she never wanted him to have was ridiculous. it made her sick to her stomach even. she should have thought about what could possibly happen that night when he leaned in to kiss her, how her emotions could get a hold of her body so quickly it would hurt her. but now she had to be stupid and let it happen anyway. she silently wondered what her twin was up to, maybe she could go to her for advice. her sister was probably busy doing her own thing however and nico didn't like to bother people, she just assumed she could go to her sister later in the day or tomorrow even. just later on it would work. at the moment nico pulled a book from shelf without looking at the tittle. in that second she heard a voice say something.
she lifted her head from the tittle of the book to her cousin, olivia. one of many cousins. it was weird, having maybe about thirty or forty cousins, but nico's family had recently lost one. katherine carrow had died in a car crash this past summer and though that meant nothing to olivia it meant something to nico. she made a face at olivia. when olivia mentioned trouble nico couldn't help the turn of her stomach. she looked down to her book. how to get out of an easy divorce without avada kedavra. nico made another face at the title of the book and quickly put it back on the shelf. "uh i actually don't know what i'm doing here," [/color] she meant in that section of the library. nico shook her head a little and turned back to her cousin. "trouble? i just came out of detention liv and i don't plan on going back,"[/color] laughed nico putting her hand on the back of her neck softly rubbing the back of it. "big test coming? is that why you're studying?"[/color] asked nico, not meaning it in anyway an insult but an actual question. olivia and nico weren't the best of friends but they were close, after all they grew up together, both being one of the few pureblood weasley families. plus the lestrange and avery families had always been rather close.[/div] tag olivia, 564, picture to caution, long shirt and boots, sorry it's short!

[/div] i have grown too strong, the sight of nico with a book in her hand was surprising enough, but to see her in the library, in this section of the library, of all things, was enough to have liv wondering if someone had got into the polyjuice potion. after all, nico was a pretty girl, and it could well sound like something one of her friends would do for a joke. why it would be funny, olivia didn't know. all that she knew was this was not like nico, and she was confused. she liked to have fun and goof off all the time; unlike liv, who only let herself do that after she'd finished all of her work. and there was nothing wrong with that, it was just... a different approach. it was probably the reason why they weren't closer than what they were, too. though nico might not like to bother other people, olivia always felt guilty if she thought she was bringing her friends down by being so driven and focused on this degree. it was easier with people who were happy to occupy their time with other things while she buried herself in legal readings. that way, when she was done she could go have fun with them, and be secure in the knowledge that there was no need to worry about them being unhappy while she worked. she wasn't sure if she would ever be able to feel that secure with nico, because she was such a fun loving person, and generally wasn't willing to speak up when she was unhappy. "i didn't think that the library had suddenly turned into your favourite place in the world." she raised an eyebrow at the title of the book when she caught a glimpse of it, slightly amused. "you have to get married before a divorce, y'know nico... unless you managed to elope over the weekend, in which case i'm horrified i wasn't invited."
she couldn't help but wrinkle her nose a little at the mention of detention. it was one of nico's most frequent, if not favourite, places to be, whereas liv didn't think she'd ever been put on detention. that would require teachers not liking her, which was absolutely horrifying to her – far more than the thought of nico getting married and not inviting her, which said a lot. "i should hope not. i mean, i'm not a prefect any more, can't go and get you out of those just yet," she joked, though she was desperately hoping that she'd be picked as a prefect next year. after all, she'd been up to the standards at school... hopefully she'd be up to the standards at university, too. still, she shouldn't be thinking about things like that when there was nico here to talk to, because if she wasn't careful she'd start staring into space and then scream when nico tried to get her attention again. that had only happened once or three times, but hey. she was kind of used to it. glancing down at her book, she shook her head. "an essay, actually, but do those ever stop in law?" she shrugged a shoulder; it wasn't like her hypothetical question actually needed an answer anyway. "do you have anything coming up?" she asked curiously, though she wasn't sure if it was actually the right question to ask. after all, nico had been put on detention for not doing her homework and essays before, she was sure of it... maybe it was rude to ask that sort of question. 605 words, outfit, for alex, no no, short posts are good !

And through the rising and falling apart, We discover who we are lately nico stummy had tossed and turned more and more than she had that night with perlin. boy had that night with him been a mistake like no other. she wished it had never happened more times than they had done it. oh it. it was to be saved for someone special like olivia had saved it for someone special. as nico looked at her she couldn't help but feel jealous. the girl had everything. she had a fiancee who was utterly and completely in love with her and wanted to marry her while here nico stood. virginless and without a boyfriend. god her life sucked didn't it? yes it did. she didn't anyone else telling her that it didn't because she already knew that it did. why did she have to go talk to perlin about that stupid project they had to do? she should have just kept her mouth just and gotten a bad mark and been done with it. just like that. boom. it wasn't like she never got bad marks anyway. just ask her siblings, or better yet her twin, she always got bad marks. it wasn't anything new it wouldn't surprise anyone. so why had she gone back to talk to perlin? why had she gone and talked to him? and why was thinking about him? she shouldn't have been. at least not with olivia around honestly that was just plain old rude really.
nico laughed. "me and library haven't had some fun since second year at Hogwarts and i was there because i set off something in the reserved section and you know that." said nico lowering her voice slightly. she knew it had been quiet some time but they still hadn't caught for that and she still didn't want to get caught for that. nico made a fake gestured. "oh you know me, always eloping and all. but speaking of wedding and invitations where the hell is mine huh?" asked putting her hands on her hips and giving her cousin a messing glare, what ever part of veela blood she had in her body coming out. but then the subject of detention cam about, where nico had been the past couple of hours. nico laughed a little. "i know! i hate it how now freshman can't be prefects. it's like were first through fourth years all over again," said nico scanning the book covers softly. nico thought if anything was actually due soon. "huh. well since i'm studying literature i know the professor wanted us to write a short novel i just haven't found my muse yet," said nico shrugging slightly. she continued to looked at the little interested in each and every single tittle why haven't she studied law? "law is so cool," tag olivia, picture to caution, long shirt and boots, some one take it?

[/div] i have grown too strong, when nicolette went and said things like that, olivia couldn't help but wince. the thing was, she liked libraries. they were nice and organised and they suited her to a t. there was quiet in libraries, which she often felt was in short supply at university, and had been back at hogwarts too. but nicolette didn't like libraries, and she showed this by doing things like setting things off in the restricted section. whining a little, olivia tugged at her hair. "you can't tell me things like that, you make my head hurt when you do." she sounded like she was joking, and in a way she was. mostly, though, she actually was telling the truth. libraries were... sacred places, if you wanted to look at it like that. which she didn't, but that was beside the point. it was just where she felt comfortable, outside wherever her friends and fiance were at that moment in time. she couldn't hold back a snort at the idea of her cousin eloping; though, admittedly, if she was going to get married around now, it would be because she eloped. olivia couldn't see any massive wedding in nicolette's future like she could in her own. "you say that like we have a venue picked, let alone wedding invitations made up," she muttered, unable to hold back a wince. it was partly her own fault, she knew that – she made her lists, and her father was so particular, it had to be perfect in his eyes as well as hers. "we'd all but decided that chateau de la boujade was the best place when my father stepped in." she wasn't sure why she'd said that. that wasn't meant to be told to anyone, because her father was just... particular, and that wasn't a bad thing, but other people would think so. sighing, she shrugged a shoulder, giving an apologetic smile. "sorry. it's all fine."
she had to resist the urge to beg her not to mention to her parents, or, really, anyone that could have it get back to her own father. she had to just hope that nicolette wouldn't do something like that – and she did believe that was the case. in the mean time, she focused instead on what her cousin was saying in an effort to distract herself. it worked... to a point. "yeah, i guess so. but i think it'd be a good break for people who were head boy and head girl. and we are... kind of fourth years all over again." the thought made her wrinkle her nose at how many years ahead of her she had before she would be qualified as a lawyer – and that was only if she didn't choose to do further research, which she was considering. but at least if that happened, she'd be separate to the undergraduates and not have to worry about the messes of exams and prefects and things that were expected of her as a freshman. her eyes widened at the thought of writing a novel, though; as a law student, exactly the opposite was expected... she was meant to be condensing her thoughts, not expanding on them. "the thought of that scares me a little," she admitted, holding her book a little tighter to her chest. "i don't think i could ever write a novel, short or not." her next words, though, surprised olivia completely. "...really? you think so?" 602 words, outfit, for alex, short ftw !

And through the rising and falling apart, We discover who we are ben was on her mind almost always and she didn't know why he shouldn't be. he was no one to her. he was that one her that had made her be so confused about who she was. first of all she had promised herself not to have sex until she was in love and was far from in love with a boy named benedikt perlin. she was far from that. but then he had leaned in. he had kissed her and she had kissed him back and then before she knew what was happening he was on top of her and then it happened. everything in her world had changed and suddenly ben had taken something that he shouldn't had and so much pain had some afterwards. but they did it so many times. she smiled a little. at the thought of smiles and ben though her stomach made a turn, she ignore it promptly. nico apologized for giving olivia the headache since she felt responsible. well she kind of was after all. the talk of weddings also made her stomach flip since the only man that nico had been with had been ben and was nothing to her. he was lower than nothing. he was the dirt under that. nico laughed, that was never a good sign. "he didn't like it, i take?" she sighed and shrugged. "well dads what are you going to do about them?" when olivia apologized nico didn't really believe that everything was fine but she decided not to say anything on the matter.
nico shrugged she'd never been even mentioned for anything that could be anywhere near anything prefect related. why? everything would most likely end in an explosion. that was what mostly wrong with nico's prank. they mostly ended in someone... or something if things went right blowing up. "yeah yeah you know i don't like most prefects...apart from my dearest cousin olivia avery who oddly behaves heavenly for a slytherin," [/color] said nico rolling her eyes a little at her cousin. she loved to throw punches at her cousin sometimes. nico laughed. "novels really aren't that bad!"[/color] she said maybe a little too loudly she could a few sh's from a few students studying, she gave them dirty looks. nico shrugged. she thought back to ben and what they had done, that night together and her stomach hurt again. her felt like she was going to throw up. she put her hand over mouth and the other on the book case to hold her balance, was she sick? what was this? what was happening to her?

[/div] i have grown too strong, nico was distracted. olivia wasn’t so caught up in herself that she couldn’t tell that much. well, she hoped that she wasn’t caught up in herself much at all, but she knew that the book she was holding to her chest was a reason to be caught up anyway. magical law sucked the life out of you – well, the social life at least. olivia knew that and she hadn’t been studying it long at all. she didn’t know why, and it was one of those kind of awkward situations where she didn’t know if she should ask or not. the voice of her father inside of her was screaming no, but she cared about nico more than a little. they were cousins, after all, and friends. waving away the apology, she looked closely at the gryffindor girl with a little frown on her face. “at least you know what i mean when i say that,” she said, though she wasn’t really paying attention; or she wouldn’t have let that one slip, either. she didn’t badmouth her father in any way whatsoever if she was thinking straight. leaning in a little closer, she adjusted the book so she could rest her hand on nico’s shoulder, giving her a little encouraging smile – or, at least, what she hoped was one. she didn’t really know what else to do... especially when nico was laughing like that. she couldn’t help but give her a disbelieving look when she said that she didn’t like any other prefect.. “you don’t have a problem with all of them... i mean, you like marcelle, don’t you?” she wasn’t exactly best friends with the lupin girl herself, but she didn’t think that there was a lot wrong with her. “and merlin, next i know you’ll be calling me an angel. please don’t.” she wrinkled her nose at the thought; that was what her father called her, and it was neither relevant nor accurate; certainly not something that she wanted her cousin picking up. waving a hand, she shrugged a little. “they might not be for you. but they’re pretty bloody insane for me. i guess you’d think the same about some of the things that i do, though.” that wasn’t what held her attention for long, though; not when she saw what nico looked like. shoving her book onto an empty spot on the shelf (and it was a marker of how worried that she was that she didn’t look to see if it was the right spot), she wrapped an arm around nico’s shoulders, trying to hold her steady. “hey. hey, are you okay? you want to go to the hospital wing? you look kind of pale...” she didn’t know what to do, but it was as good a start as any; at least, she hoped that it was.

And through the rising and falling apart, We discover who we are nico's mind was everywhere but attached to her head. she felt her stomach heard every time she thought of that night and the thought of food made her barf in general. clearly she was sick probably with the flu or something stupid like that. she didn't know nor did she really care for it. she would get over it pretty soon. it wasn't like it would stay there to haunt her for months or years. she liked having jaz and liz to be there for her, they were the joke, the red head, the brunette and the blond jokes but yeah like they really cared very much that they thought they were were funny to some people. it made nico smile really. they were the only people allowed to call her nic, and only when they were calling each other jaz and liz so she wouldn't feel left out. it happened sometimes. nico nodded and laughed, yeah she knew exactly what she meant when she said that. it was strage. talking bad about their fathers without liz ripping nico's throat, she must have had as much on her mind as nico had. it was the only resonable excuse she could come up with really.
nico made a face. sure she liked marcelle, well she could stand her. "i mean for a ravenclaw anyway," [/color] after ben, nico wasn't too fond of any ravenclaw especially witty sneaky stuck up ones like ben. nico laughed at the thought of olivia being an angel. "because getting married while being in college is being angel? has daddy not realized that you can't wear white yet?"[/color] teased nico laughing harder. the laughing was what started her stomach to hurt but she promptly told it to shut it. nico nodded. "yeah like studying,"[/color] she shivered. but that was another thing that ben did and that really set her stomach off. no not the hospital wing. pale why was she pale? did this happen to most girls who had sex? could she - no she wasn't i mean she was a few days late but just like four or five. she eyes widen in shock. "liz, i need you to get me to the research side of library...the one about pregangcy books...now,"[/color] nico's face was filled with horror. there was no doubt about it. she'd have to get rid of it if there was something inside of her, it would have to be gone, her father would have a field day walking on her grave if he found out she was pregnant. was she?[/div] tag olivia, picture to caution, long shirt and boots, hehe finding out is fun [/center]

[/div] i have grown too strong, that surprised olivia a little, she had to say. marcelle lupin might not her best friend in the world, but she had a fair bit of respect for the ravenclaw girl. that being said, she had respect for most prefects, after having worked with them for years at hogwarts. then again, she didn't have anything against ravenclaws; she saw a lot of ravenclaw traits in herself (unlike nicolette), even if she definitely did fit in slytherin better. she didn't have anything against any house, really; she failed to understand the logic that a lot of hufflepuffs applied, but it wasn't like they offended her. and any house that had nico in it was fine by liv, even if alcott didn't agree. there were good and bad people in each house – as she and alcott personified that, or so she hoped. shaking her head a little, she poked nico's arm gently. "you say that like the next house you're going to insult is slytherin," she pointed out, but she wasn't actually insulted at all. after all, she had dealt with far worse insults about things that mattered to her more than her house, after all. while her father was proud of her for being a slytherin, she just saw it was something she fit in with – not a good or a bad thing innately. unlike, say, her lack of virginity, which she enjoyed in practise, but the theory of her father finding out made her feel a little nauseous. "ugh. no. merlin, no, he hasn't, and he's not going to find out. he'd probably check the sheets after the wedding night if i let him."
as nauseous as she felt, though, she didn't look anything like as bad as nic. the other girl was pale and shivering a little, which didn't make olivia feel particularly comforted. she might not have been studying medicine but she knew what sick looked like – and that was what her cousin looked like at the moment. "studying is something that every student should be doing," she said absently, but it was painfully obvious that her heart wasn't in it at all. she was too busy looking the blonde over, trying to figure out if there was anything else that she could see about her that was wrong. she couldn't tell, but then again, she never had been good at that type of thing. at home, if you were sick, a house elf found out and dealt with you; you didn't go near their father, because if he got sick he wouldn't be able to work at the ministry and he'd be horrified at that. she just had little experience beyond what she felt like. "i... what?" she spluttered, sure that she had heard nico wrong. "i better hope you're gunning for the next virgin birth," she said, not really thinking straight. nico was dating ryan, sure, but that was a new thing – something she was sure hadn't ended up with sex for her virgin cousin; not when she hadn't heard anything about it, anyway. 557 words, outfit, for alex, hope it works !

And through the rising and falling apart, We discover who we are respect for ravenclaws from nico had run so low that it was almost ridiculous. she hated them. ever single last one of them. expect for her boyfriend she hated all of them, she couldn't stand any of them. they all annoyed her but afer what had happened with ben she had hated them all even more. she hadn't told anyone about that night choising to keep it to herself because she'd been so ashamed of what she had done. she'd lost her virginity in a one night stand hell she wished she'd lost it the way that liz had at least then she'd have some respect for herself, she lost it to someone she was planning to spen the rest of her life with and that was admiral... felt like such scum for doing what she had. she felt worse than scum she felt like she had betrayed herself or betrayed her family or betrayed liz or jaz, her best friends. who did that? she'd kept something as big as her virginity hidden from her best friends. that was how much of scum she was, she kept the biggest thing that ever happened to her apart from loosing her cousin, katherine, to herself. what kind of person did that? honestly? nico snorted softly liz's comment snapping her back to reality. "let's just say the only ravenclaw that i'm liking lately is ryan," [/color] oh the thought of ryan made her smile, he was really the sweetest boyfriend in the world. honestly she was glad that she found him after ben before she had a chance to really break down after what had happened to her. "not every student"[/color] she could feel the sweat dripping down her forehead though, that was how bad she felt. she felt terrible. she felt. she felt like throwing up. she felt everything all at once but worse of all she felt a pain in her stomach so great that it was almost too painful to deal with. what was that? the first thing that nico wanted to avoid was the look on liz's face when the word pregnant came from nico's mind, it was the first thing that popped into her mind. she'd had sex and now she was feeling sick? she was smart she could put two and two together. nico smiled a little breathing a little heavily before she could respond to tell liz what had happened that night behind ben and nico, she was over the nearest trashbin, breakfast in there before nico could blink. "ugh that's so gross,"[/color] the eighteen year old groaned before throwing up again. "liz a week before i started to go out with ryan i lost it to benedikt perlin,"[/color] the sound of his name made her throw up again, and she did just that. "ugh, my stomach... i think i might be pregnant or have a really bad case of the flu,"[/color] spoke nico before wiping some of the sweat of her forehead, she looked up at liz slowly just to check her friend's reactions.[/div] tag olivia, picture to caution, long shirt and boots, cross your fingers for the flu!

[/div] i have grown too strong, there was nothing wrong with ryan, olivia thought, but there wasn't anything particularly special about him, either. the texan... well, he confused her, to be quite honest. that being said, she didn't really pay attention to many other men at the university. she had her relatives and her fiance and that was really all that was necessary... but more than necessary, it was all that she wanted. she wasn't going to be the sort of girl who went looking at other guys when she was involved with someone... and she'd been involved for a long time. shrugging a shoulder, she forced a little smile onto her face. it was all that she could do. "as long as you don't start saying that about slytherins, it's all good. because i'd have to be insulted on behalf of jaz and i." the exclusion of annabel was intentional, though olivia didn't really know why. it wasn't like she disliked nico's twin, but she had never really clicked with her like she had with nicolette and jasleen. by rights, she should have been closer to annabel; they were in the same house, after all. but that wasn't the case. it had been the three of them, and nicolette was, of course, close to her twin... but somehow, she hadn't been part of the group. "i'm glad you're happy with him though, nic. you deserve happiness." she smiled encouragingly at her, hoping that she was going to believe her. she couldn't help but feel like she wouldn't, though. after all, this was nico... and as much as she loved the other girl, she had some weird ideas about things. especially herself.
"i'm aware of that," olivia shook her head, unable to keep the sarcasm from her tone even now. it was her fall back, and she probably used it too much, but it kept her sane. especially when she went and came out with something like that. pregnant. she thought that she was pregnant. out of all of them, she had expected that she would be the one to be pregnant first – only because she was the one who was planning her wedding, she was the one in a long term relationship. but seeing nicolette throwing up kind of solidified that it was, at the very least, a strong possibility. wincing a little, she stepped up behind her cousin and rubbed at her shoulder gently. "yeah, it kind of is," she replied, not willing to lie in response. vomit was disgusting. that was one of the many reasons she now avoided tequila. it took a long few minutes for what nicolette said next to sink in, just because it seemed so... well, ridiculous. nicolette didn't put up with assholes like benedikt, let alone have sex with them. let alone got pregnant with his fucking kid. "...benedikt perlin," she repeated, staring at her like she'd grown another head. to her, it was like she had, because this was nicolette... who, while she wasn't a good girl, she didn't do this. "okay. well. even if you are.... we'll... deal with this." she bit her lip and did what she could do best; she pulled out her wand and vanished the vomit, essentially dealing with the immediate problem at hand. "i hope it's the latter. but we can deal with whatever happens, nico." 582 words, outfit, for alex, hope it works !

And through the rising and falling apart, We discover who we are the last few days nico hadn't been paying attention in class and her professors had well noticed. sure she didn't pay attention on a regular basis but the whole deal with ben and the way he turned to her and told her that he wanted something more with her and the way she just slapped him and left, god she felt so stupid now. it was still ridiculous that she had let herself go especially when she had been crushing on ryan but just ben made her heart swell when he walked in a room, and her stomach turn too but that was for different reasons at points. honestly the boy in nico's mind was a complete and utter pig and she wanted nothing to do with him, let alone sleep with him, let alone lose something as precious as her virginity to someone as the likes of him. that was just complete insanity on her part. nico rolled her eyes at her cousin. "i'd never insult slytherins," [/color] she said honestly, and she would never. her best friends were in slytherins, plus her own twin sister was a slytherin though she knew that there was always some bad ground between the group and annabel. they just didn't click and nico sort of knew. the group was nico's friends, not annabel just cause they were twins didn't mean they had to share friends too. nico smiled at liv. "thanks, i'm hoping to find something like what you have though,"[/color] she didn't add that she wasn't sure she hadn't found it with ryan, but maybe. just maybe, she had her fingers crossed. nico rolled her eyes yet again at olivia. she didn't like the face that she was getting from her cousin, it was like worse than the death glare, it was the 'if you really are pregnant i might want to rip that baby from inside of you juts because you forgot to tell me you had sex' which had slipped from nico's mind. she had glad that she had some support though, the hand that rubbed her shoulder helped nico take her mind off throwing up for a little and calmed her stomach. she groaned and leaned away from the smell. nico looked at liz as she said his name her stomach turning again. "liz if i am pregnant i'm not gonna keep it,"[/color] nico swallowed a little, she was forming a plan in her mind. "i can't tell anyone. just you and jaz... and maybe ryan... i mean do you think i should tell him?"[/color] before olivia could respond nico leaned herself against a shelf and slid down to floor landing with a soft thump. she sighed softly. "i can't have it,"[/color][/div] tag olivia, picture to caution, long shirt and boots, oh boyyyy [/center]

[/div] i have grown too strong, michael was the best thing that had ever happened to her, that was for sure. but she wasn't so naïve as to think that she was a normal case; that what had happened to her was going to happen to nico by the time that she graduated. she could hope, sure. but she couldn't do any more than that. she wouldn't let herself think more than that, even for nico, because she didn't want to suddenly be faced with another slap in the face to bring her back to reality like the whole... pregnancy revelation had been. she knew that the real world wasn't as easy as the pureblood lie that she'd been brought up in. sighing a little, she rubbed at nico's shoulder in hopes that it would even come close to being comforting, because she didn't know what to do otherwise. "you kind of would if you were in a bad mood," she said, and then kicked herself. "but we all would. i'm sure that i would insult gryffindors if i was in a bad enough mood, too." she smiled a little wryly at nico and leaned on the wall, trying to figure out the words that managed to express what she wanted to say – and what would make the other girl happy. after all, she was a slytherin, and she was one of her best friends. "you'll find the one who will make you happy forever. i'm certain of that." there, and it wasn't even a lie. she hadn't put a time limit on it, and therefore it wasn't a lie; she couldn't help it, she just wasn't certain that it was going to be ryan. scratch that, she was fairly certain that it wasn't going to be ryan. call it intuition. she couldn't help but be a little disappointed that nico hadn't told her that she'd lost her virginity. she hoped that she was one of the least judgemental people n the world, considering what she'd been dealing with for the past two years. besides, she and jaz and nico told each other everything. sighing a little, she moved to closer to nico and kissed at the top of her head; it might have been a little awkward, but it was meant to be reassuring... she just hadn't figured out whether it had been or not. "you don't want to?" she said quietly, more than a little worry in her tone. she couldn't say what she'd do in the same situation, but she didn't think that she'd be able to say she wouldn't keep it so easily. then again, if she got pregnant, she'd be in love with the father of her baby... not like nico was. biting her lip, she sighed a little and nodded, unable to form the will to argue with her. it was her body, her baby, everything. and it wasn't something she could make a call on. "i think ryan might find out himself... but nico, can you keep this from ben? i know you hate him, but..." she sighed and sat down next to her, unsure of what to say next. 562 words, outfit, for alex, hope it works !

And through the rising and falling apart, We discover who we are nico wouldn't exactly say that she hated her life. it's just became harder do deal with everything in it. it became harder when perlin actually became something in her life. it was all his fault. all of it. she blamed him and the spell that he had put over her. she hated him for everything that he was doing to her and more. it was his fault really that she was hunched in the mess she was, virgin less and with a boyfriend who thought she was pure and full of life and all those things and nico didn't honestly know what was in her. rowan and her were so alike, hell annabel and rowan were also alike. the triplets were awesome and they loved each other to pieces. it had always been that way. the triplets had been always so close with each other, ever since birth. it was strange how different each triplet was but how close they were. it didn't matter when or where any of the triplets where needed the other two would always be there for them and recently that was how nico had felt but she also had the jokes... or in this case she had liz. liz was also there for her when she really needed her too. nico was lucky too have them all around when she really needed to have them especially now.
nico shrugged a little. "see but i wouldn't care if you insulted gryffindors, you take it too seriously, stick in the mud," [/color] muttered nico clearly joking with her cousin. she smiled at her, though winking. nico shrugged, her mind drifting to benedikt when liz said that someone would make her happy forever. "i hope so... i guess... i don't know,"[/color] nico looked away from her cousin. she didn't want to think about her future. especially with the possibility of vomiting and being pregnant. oh god carrying perlin's child made her stomach turn, she held her in pain and made a face. nico shook her head. "no i - i don't want it,"[/color] her voice was shaking and her eyes were tearing up. "it'd be such a problem, i can't,"[/color] nico shook her head. ugh ben. "ben? ben? you're thinking about ben? uh i can't tell him. i mean sure he's the father but he's such a pig and i don't want him to know... i mean no, he can't - what if he makes me keep it?"[/color] her voice shook some more, and tears started to flow down. "i don't even know if i'm pregnant,"[/color] she placed her head in her arms. she was in such a state of shook out of everything that had happened that she didn't know what was right from wrong or what was when from where or anything. nico just wanted to run from the world and never look back was that too much to ask for? she didn't really believe so. "i need to tell jaz and rowan though,"[/color] she whispered sniffling. [/div] tag olivia, picture to caution, long shirt and boots, <3 [/center]
