Closed Everything Okay?

[Aonghas Fergusson]

Aonghas didn’t have long in brightstone, he had been hopeful to find his brother for a little bit, while getting the school supplies for the next semester. But he hadn’t spotted him. He hadn’t really asked around either, or told his brother he was doing as much, he had just hoped that he would see him. However, he did spot someone, just not his brother. Lauren. She hadn’t looked particularly happy when she passed him, and seemed to not even see him. He’d called her name but she hadn’t said anything or reacted. He was a little confused, but it fit with a large proportion of her behaviour over the last semester. He thought things were okay by the yuleball, they’d pass a fine night together but it seemed there was definitely something else going on. He followed after her, knowing that if he did he would be late to meet his dad, but he didn’t care. ”Lauren,” he called out, he quickened his step towards her but she didn’t seem to stop, ”Lauren, come oan, stop,” he said louder. Eventually he caught up with her and reached out to touch her shoulder to get her to stop and to at least acknowledge him. He didn’t understand why she was being like that, she had seemed upset as she had passed but surely she would’ve stopped for him even if upset, they were friends. Maybe not friends who confided that much in each other but he would change that if necessary, he liked Lauren for her.​

 

[Lauren Carter]

Lauren was not gonna go home ofcourse with the holidays. Gabriella didn't also. So she decided to go to brightstone. The blonde walked alone through the streets and was not sure where she would go exactly just walked and figured she could look at that scary house perhaps. She never had seen it before. Lauren was with her mind elsewhere and didn't saw Aonghas who seemed to be wanting her attention. The blonde just looked straight in front. She was scared of what Styx was gonna do. And that made her mad. She had to find a way to keep her secret. It could not come out. Because she was afraid of what would happen and what people would think. They would sure be thinking she had made something up herself. Than she heard someone call her but it sounded far away. So she walked along she had no interest to talk. But than she felt someone touching her shoulder and directly she made sure that person didn't again and turned around after slapping the arm away. '' DON'T TOUCH ME.'' She than said loud. Angry at the person but than she saw who it was. And she was kind of embarresed now. But even if it was Aonghas people should not touch her. She hated it. '' You scared me!'' She than said and took some distance.

 

[Aonghas Fergusson]

Aonghas was exceedingly taken aback by Lauren’s reaction he immediately let go of her and raised his hands to show that he didn’t mean any harm to her. "Wow hey sorry," That he didn’t want to cause her any harm, he wondered if she was perhaps hurt there, if he had hurt her by grabbing her there but, it hadn’t been hard, he hadn’t really touched her. He watched as she put some distance between him and her, ”Are ye okay?” he couldn’t help but ask, his hands were still raised and he was looking her over for any indication that she was perhaps not okay. Looking for some physical sign of it. He was so confused by her reaction, he had to think something was up, she had to have something wrong if that was her reaction to being called for, to his hand being on her shoulder. In Aonghas’ mind there was no other possible explanation for it. There was nothing more to be said about it. He was concerned for Lauren, her behaviour all year had been odd. She had been odd, distant from him. But he had had no clue why. Unsure and unwilling almost to figure it out. But he was here now, and he had asked the question and he was willing to push for an answer.​
