The past few days were going... okay, Alex guessed. He could be much worst off than he was right now but he had calming draught to thank for that. He knew it really wasn't advisable due to the fact that he still liked his drink but he couldn't help it. He'd had the loveliest dreamless sleeps afterwards. The draught was keeping his mind off the incident. He couldn't even bring himself to think it, let alone say it.
Alex had forced himself outside for the afternoon. He could only hide in bed for so long and Jackie did say that it was over. Alex prayed to Merlin he was telling the truth. He wouldn't be able to handle it if it were a lie.
So there the young man sat, huddled in the corner in Fortescue's with a small bowl of ice cream. He ate. But he didn't taste. It was cold, sticky lumps of frozen dairy. But he tasted nothing whatsoever. Maybe he was still in shock, maybe it was the draught or just didn't care anymore. Alex wasn't too sure. He swallowed and looked down at his spoon, checking his warped reflection in it. Merlin... he looked a bit of a mess compared to his normally well-kept appearance. His hair was a bit messy, curly, and his skin really looked like it needed some loving. But... who cared? Alex didn't.
He sighed and placed the spoon on the table, nudging the ice cream away from him. He didn't want anything sweet. He didn't want anything full stop. He just wanted... Alex didn't even know what he wanted. Maybe go get some free snuggles off Rose and disappear into bed for another eternity.

Minna entered the ice cream shop. She hadn't heard any news of Maryn. And she was starting to get worried. Maryn hadn't come home for almost three weeks now. And Minna knew that something wasn't right. She went to the counter, ordered her favorite chocolate chip ice cream and looked around for a vacant table.
The the farthest corner, she saw the little boy she met at the train station when she was younger. However, he was no longer a little boy. He was a grown man now. She went over and had a smile ready. "Hola, ¿todavía me recuerda?" she said as she stopped a few feet away from him.
Minna hoped that the boy still remembered her. Though she was never really close to him back at Hogwarts, he was one of the young ones she was kind too. Chase was an exception because of Brent. Minna sighed at the thought. But smiled again.

Alex didn't startle when someone unexpectedly approached his table. He was that dosed up to care. He silently watched her as she spoke, squinting his eyes on hearing Spanish roll off her tongue. Did he remember her? Alex thought he did... only one other person had spoken to him in his native language...
"Creo que sí... eres Minna, no?" Alex asked, his voice still the slightest bit scratchy even though he had recovered his voice around a week ago. He hoped there was no lasting damage. "Cuánto tiempo sin verte... siéntate."
Alex managed a smile and nudged a seat in his direction with his foot under the table. The smile didn't reach his eyes though, the merry sparkle they usually glinted with had faded away. He wasn't sure himself if that would ever return. Even though he didn't exactly fancy company, he couldn't send her way without seemed rude. Besides... maybe it would do him good to talk to someone outside his circle. "So... what've you been up to of late?"

Minna pulled out the chair and sat down. She knew something was wrong. Women's intuition and all. She wanted to know what it was but then she wasn't that close to him to ask about such a personal matter. " Gracias. ¿Cómo has estado? No te ves tan bien." she honestly told him. He didn't really look good.
She remembered the eyes the other man used to have. The one she was seeing now didn't have the same sparkle that she once saw many many years ago. She still tried to smile at him. Alexander Torres was one of the few people that Minna would smile at. Chase was another. Maryn, Aiden and the Facinelli siblings. Minna didn't even smile for the Head Master.
"Hmmm... I'm been bored lately. Waiting for Maryn to come home really. She moved in with me after she and Brent split up. I'm happy for Chase though. I heard they have a baby now. Time does fly by so fast. He already has something I wanted all my life." she said with a small smile.
She turned to look back at him, "How about you? You look like you haven't been cared for and like you haven't been yourself lately. I know a few things about other people I take time to notice. You were one of them. You looked so adorable when I met you on the train during your first year. But now.... Something's not right..." Minna shook her head.
"I'm sorry... I'm just a bit worried about Maryn right now. I haven't heard from her in a while. And seeing you looking... WEll, like this..." Minna didn't continue. She just sighed.

"Me siento como me veo. Fatal." Alex gave a weak, mirthless laugh. He really didn't feel too good and he already knew that he looked just how he felt. When Minna mentioned Maryn, he nodded his head slightly, listening to her. To tell the truth, he hadn't seen her in a long while either. Alex thought he'd see her at least one last time before Chase and Brent's wedding but... nada. And Minna hadn't seen her even though they were now living together? It seemed odd but then jilted partners sometimes acted inexpectedly. Hopefully she was alright. He didn't wish ill on her. "Maryn's a big girl, she's been through a lot. I bet she's fine... just having some time to herself while she adjusts or something... I hope."
Alex grabbed his spoon and began to prod at his melting ice-cream. He should really try cheering up now that he had company but the young man just didn't have it in him just yet. "Just... having a bad month. And its all kinda catching up on me." Obviously Alex wasn't going to indulge in many details. "I've been staying with Brent and Chase but I needed to get out for a bit. Rose is adorable but... her crying can get to you after a while."

Minna wondered why but she didn't ask. Whatever was troubling Alex was something too hurtful and scary to recall. The best thing to do was forget about it. She smiled at him, "Well, I heard that Chase and Brent are getting married. And that they have a baby. I don't expect being invited to their wedding though. Brent still hates me and Chase might not want to have a fight with Brent on the day of their wedding if I went." she said and sighed.
She wanted to go. She wanted to see how happy Chase was now. Minna wanted to watch a wedding because it made her feel a little happy that even if she might never get married, love still works for other people. |
