Wandering

[Aimee Darkhart]

Aimee ran ahead giggling, she couldn't wait to see the cliffs. In a split second descision she pulled off her wig and stuffed it in her bag. Stopping, out of breath she waited for Lea to catch up. Breathing hard she looked around and smiled, the sun was shining on her golden hair making it light, almost white. Her heart beat slowed and her breathing returned to its normal pace when she saw Lea approaching. Smiling she sat down and waited for her friend to draw up to her.

Lea skipped along the warm grass feeling the cool breeze through her hair. She followed closely behind Aimee, who was racing on ahead. Lea had no idea where they were going but she trusted Aimee completely. As they reached their destination Lea stopped skipping and looked out at where they were, the cliffs Lea knew it immediately. She walked slowly towards they edge and looked over, what a beautiful view they had from up there. "Hey, you took your wig off!" Lea exclaimed, looking over at Aimee, her wig carelessly discarded on the ground beneath them. Lea sat down on the very edge of the cliff and let her legs gently hand over the edge, her hands gripping the grass to make sure she wouldn't fall. "Its beautiful" she whispered, for only Aimee to hear.

Aimee laughed "I know! Weird..." she picked up the wig and ran it through her fingers, "Maybe, I should just toss it off the cliff...?" she mused smiling at Lea "I mean... maybe...I should be who I am instead of who I... pretend to be." She murmured. She joined Lea at the edge and nodded "It is!" She whispered back. She sighed "Aliana would of liked this place...She was going to come here too you know?" she said "That's why we became such good friends" she shrugged and grinned and turned to Lea "I suppose you'll have to do." She laughed nudging Lea to show she was kidding, "Your a good friend you know..." she gave Lea a hug "For a Hufflepuff" she added with a sly smile.

Lea listened to Aimee and smiled up at her "Maybe you should!" she said giggling. Aimee throwing her wig from the cliff could be like throwing away her past so she could get on with the future, which Lea was very happy about. She couldn't seem to stop smiling, she was so happy to have a friend at Hogwarts. But Lea couldn't help but feel sad hearing that Aimee's friend was meant to attend Hogwarts. She didn't know what to say so she just reached for Aimee's hand and held it. Lea laughed at Aimee's comment Puffs aren't that bad!" she giggled.

Aimee giggled and held the wig over the edge willing her self to let go. Closing her eyes she tried but pulling her habd back in she sighed "I can't do it...not right now any way." Her eyes still closed she felt Lea take her hand and she put her wig back on her lap. 'why cant I just let it go?' she thought angrily. She tensed and sqeezed Lea's hand a little too hard.

For so long Aimee just wanted to move on from those traumatic days at the hospital, but to move on would be to let Alianna's memory to decay. In a sudden surge of anger she picked up the wig and threw it off the cliff. Opening her eyes in alarm she watched in horror as the limp pigtails floated momentairly before plummenting to the ground.

Stunned Aimee sat frozen on the edge of the cliff. A strong urge to jump off the cliff after beloved wig dominated her brain before realising that wouldn't do her any good. Letting go of Lea's hand she swung her leegs off the edge of the cliff and stood up.

She heard Lea say "Aimee?" but she ignored this and took a couple of wonky steps before falling to her knees. Holdingher friendship braclet, she ran the carefully woven plaits between her fingers she couldn't hold the tears for Alianna back any longer.

Shaking with sobs she could feel Lea's eyes on her and she tried to wipe away the seemingly never ending flow of tears.
Failing to stop crying she heard Lea get up and place a hesitant hand on her shoulder. Sniffing she tried to pull herself together and wiped away those last few tears. She looked up at Lea and gave her a small, watery smile. She could see the hint of fear in Lea's eyes and Aimee stood up and gave her a hug "I'm ok now" she said her voice hoarse.
