Friends Only

I keep dreaming he comes for me. I don't want to leave the house in case people see me. In case he sees me.

I wasn't even with him for long. When I think what people like Kat have gotten through, I feel ridiculous. But I'm so scared. And Lee is wonderful and supportive and careful but still all I want to do is cry.

Nothing anyone else has been through diminishes what you went through, Evey. It was terrifying and horrible. I don't blame you at all for feeling the way you do. I'm sure there will always be people willing to be with you until you're feeling less afraid. And you will, but I know what a battle it is. Take your own time with it, Evey. No one is going to hold that against you or think ill of you.

[lady_evanna]

I'm ugly. Ugly and afraid and maybe I can finish up my course online and go work at a huge telescope in Antarctica.

[seminalsemiotic]

Evey honey, you are not ugly. The scar doesn't mar your beauty. It shows where something has healed. You're as gorgeous as you always were, both on the surface, and within where it counts so much the more. Nothing and no one could make you ugly, Evey, and you shouldn't be hidden away.

[lady_evanna]

I'm just afraid to show my face.

Maybe I should get a burkha.

There are many people here who will always do everything they can to protect you. Sometimes things get past us, but we know to look out for someone like the madman who took you now. We are better prepared now.

You're the farthest thing from ridiculous, Evey. Everything you're feeling is, I think, perfectly natural.

[lady_evanna]

I hate people. People are terrifying.

It;s not natural it's STUPID.

[eligible_boy]

There are a lot of terrifying people out there. But there are good ones too, and those good ones will always be here for you.

Evey, I promise there is nothing stupid about you. Or ugly. You're one of my favourite people in the world, and you always will be.

[lady_evanna]

I know. I know but augh.

You're gonna have to take the step sometime, Evey darling. Can't have him terrorising you for the rest of your life. The others got a point though, you shouldn't rush it. But if you're starting to feel cabin fever, maybe now's a good time. Even if it's just a walk around the block with someone by your side. Could be me if you want, though I'm sure Lee'll be the first to volunteer. Just don't feel like any of this reflects badly on you, cos it doesn't. I promise.

No! Nonono. I don't want people looking at me. I don't want YOU looking at me.

I want Travis.

Re: Screened

[twilightrobe]

I'm sorry, darling. I wish Travis were here. It's okay if you don't want me around for the moment. But I will be whenever you do want me, okay? And you'll see I think you're just as gorgeous as always.

[lady_evanna]

[lady_evanna]

Okay.

Re: Screened

[dangerousangles]

Right, not tonight tho cos I got plans with Hels, who could show you a few moves of her own, actually. You want her in on this? You could give the cunt a few scars of his own.

Also that scar of yours/ I aint' saying anything cos I love Helena, but there's no way something like that'd put me off.

Thanks, Lucas.
