[style=width:390px; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 12px; color: 883538; text-align: justify;padding-left: 15px]The recent kidnapping - and being rescued - events were so hard for the young dragon to wrap her thoughts around, though nothing was harder to think about than the fact that they had lost so many wonderful people. And at the top of that long list: Keanu and Maeve. But while she mourned Maeve, it was Keanu who wrecked her. The water dragon and she had become quick friends. Very, very quick friends. And she'd only realized once he was gone that those feelings she had for him were everything but friendly. A soft woof had her looking down at Mocha who eyed her sadly. The female was missing her companion as well. With Keanu gone, a family member had come to pick up his beloved pup, and having both of them gone was chaos to the young dragon. It was while she was helping Liam and Kao go through the water dragon's stuff, though; that she saw her picture, the blonde human who Keanu had been friends with. And it was on the spur of a moment thought that she'd called for Mocha and made her way to the other's room. Maybe if anyone was to understand what she was going through, the human would. She was sure if she wanted to, she could have talked to Kao, or Kats . . . but . . . she just couldn't bring herself to bother them. She sighed quietly before heading through the halls towards the room, quietly knocking.

Faith had been pretty much a wreck since all the deaths that she had gone through. She had been to so many funerals since coming to the school, and she honestly wasn't sure how much longer she could handle it. It was as if everyone she got close to died. Whether it was protecting her or just some freak accident, all her friends... All of her friends had died. Sighing, the blond girl climbed from the shower, wrapping a towel around herself before walking to her bedroom to look for something to wear. She wasn't going out for the rest of the day, so she pulled on some pajama shorts and a tank top before slipping on a robe and walking into the living room of the apartment. Passing by the front door, her eyes caught sight of a table that she had set up, pictures of all of her friends set up on it. Her heart sank as she caught sight of the picture of her and Keanu before the dance. She had really loved him. She had loved him more than a friend, even at that point, but she knew that it would never work. He didn't like her back like that. He liked someone else, she was sure. After all, who would love her? She was just a poor human girl. Faith jumped when she heard a knock on the door and slowly walked over to it, opening the door and looking outside. "Hello..."

[style=width:390px; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 12px; color: 883538; text-align: justify;padding-left: 15px]Phallon stood nervously by the door as she waited for the girl to use this room as her own dorm room answered. She wasn't entirely sure what she'd say, what she'd do . . . all she knew was . . . was that maybe, just maybe this girl would understand. This girl would be able to help her. Of course, Phallon had to admit there were other ways this meeting could turn out. This girl could blame her for the death of Keanu (she blamed herself quite regularly). She knew that if she'd been jus a bit quicker to get out of the funk the abuse had put her in - to be able to react faster . . . there was a chance she might have ended up okay. There was a chance he could still be here. She was about to go into a panic, and leave before this other girl got to the door, but before she could even turn around, the door opened, and a small voice answered her knock with a hello.

Phallon looked at the girl nervously, her auburn hair half hanging in her face, "Uhm, hi . . . I'm sorry for . . . for barging in . . . But, are you . . . Are you Faith? I'm a . . . was a friend of Keanu's. My name's Phallontine. Phallontine Chlor. I . . . can I come in?" Phallon half rushed through her words, looking more and more nervous as she spoke, biting her lip slightly, hesitating, "Keanu . . . spoke about you . . . and I just . . . I didn't know who else to go to. Who else might understand . . ." She was nearly in a panic, trying to figure out what exactly to say before looking up at the girl, tears in her eyes, "I think it's my fault he's dead . . . and, I just don't know what to do anymore . . . He's gone . . . and . . . dear god, and I didn't realize until he was gone that I was in love with him. I'm sure you don't want to hear that. You probably don't want to hear anything I have to say . . . or even care who I am . . . I just need someone else to talk to. Someone who understands what I'm feeling. Please, I don't know what else to do anymore." She wiped at her eyes briefly, adding quietly, "Will you help me?"

The soft woof of her companion had Phallon's eyes locking onto her Saluki, tangling her fingers into the large dog's fur before the creature sniffed the human, and then licked her hand, adding another quiet woof to her as well. Mocha didn't like Phallon being upset, being the female's familiar. And she was just as concerned about how these events would conspire.

Faith's voice was small and weak, but that was only because she was a small and weak person. She stood and listened to the girl before her, and her door slowly opened wider, her face calm and sympathetic towards the young woman. Phallontine. Yes... She had heard of her somewhere, she was sure... But... She hadn't realized that she had been so close to Keanu. A small, sad smile crossed her face when she heard that Keanu had talked about her, but the more the young woman talk, the more nervous it made Faith. She didn't well with other people being upset. She was usually the one upset, and when other people were upset, she grew nervous. But a dagger was plunged into her stomach when Phallon said that she had loved Keanu. There... This was the woman that he would have been with for the rest of his life if he had survived. Faith looked to the ground sadly as she listened to the rest of Phallontine's words. She smiled softly when the dog licked her hand before moving to gently pull the woman into a hug. "Please don't blame yourself. Death is apart of life. No one can stop it... I should know... All of my friends have died... And you can't go through life blaming yourself. You have to hang on to the memories without blaming yourself..." She said softly before pulling back and motioning inside. "Please come in. You are more than welcome." She said softly before looking at the ground again, biting her lip slightly. "I'm sorry for your loss... Keanu was a good man. You would have made a beautiful couple." She said gently, waiting for the woman and her dog to enter her room.

[style=width:390px; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 12px; color: 883538; text-align: justify;padding-left: 15px]Phallon could feel herself slowly growing more and more nervous as she spoke, her entire body seeming to shake before suddenly the other moved to give her a hug, her small arms wrapping around Phallon's form. She closed her eyes in distress as she shook, tears streaming down her cheeks as the other spoke. How could she not blame herself. A good man was dead . . . . and she hadn't been able to save him. As the girl pulled away, she motioned her inside, before commenting on how she and Keanu would have been a beautiful couple. A watery smile touched her lips, "T-thank you . . ." She mumbled before stepping inside, Mocha keeping close to her side, as she moved to the couch and sank down, "I'd be grateful . . . if you not mention this to anyone else . . . Liam, Kao, and Gianni would be upset if they knew I was stressing out this much. It's unhealthy for the baby." She mumbled, her hand over her belly, before hesitating, and pulling out her wallet, and pulling free an image of a smiling man with dark hair, and vibrant eyes, pushing it towards the other, "Keanu wasn't the first love I lost. His name was Dean. He was a gargoyle, and the first to show me how to have fun again . . . . He's the father of my unborn child. And dear god, I miss him more than life itself. Keanu and I would have been a beautiful couple . . . but Dean and I were created for one another. I, I'd believe he was my soulmate." She breathed softly, a heavy sigh leaving her as she looked at Faith, before brushing a hand through her long hair, "I'm sorry, I must be bothering you, speaking only about myself . . . you. You loved Keanu too, didn't you?" She asked softly, "That's one of the reason's I'm here. Everyone keeps asking how I'm doing, but I don't think anyone realizes you were close to Keanu too . . . are you . . . are you okay?"

Faith felt sorry for the younger girl, wanting to hug her until she stopped crying. But she couldn't do that, for she knew that the woman would be grieving for some time. Faith knew that from experience. Closing the door behind the two, the blonde stayed turned away from them for a moment before slowly turning and following her to the couch. "I don't think I'll be telling anyone. All of my friends are dead." She said softly, glancing to the table that held all of her photos of her friends' smiling faces. Every last one was dead and gone. Faith sat on the couch beside Phallontine, hugging the robe tighter around herself. She looked at the picture of the man before looking up at the girl. "I'm sorry for your loss. He looks like he was a very nice man." She said, rubbing her hands over her own legs gently, not really finding the encounter to be the best thing in the world. "No. It is clear to me, now, that I obviously did not love Keanu at all, and there was someone much more special out there for him. Someone who knew how to love and take care of him because she had been loved before. No... Keanu was just... A very dear friend of mine." She said, looking away from the woman and down to the floor. She had loved Keanu... Probably more than life itself, but she saw, in this woman, a pain and love so strong for the young man that she felt selfish for saying that she loved him. Faith gave a sad smile and shook her head. "Don't worry about me. You are obviously in much more distress about it than I. Don't stop talking because of me. I'm her to listen to you." She said, leaning back into the couch and shift slightly so she was turned toward the young woman, waiting for the dagger to before twisted and plunged further into Faith's heart.

[style=width:390px; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 12px; color: 883538; text-align: justify;padding-left: 15px]Phallon quietly rubbed at her eyes, frowning sadly when the girl stated her friends were all dead, "I'm sorry . . . I don't know what I'd do if I lost all of my friends. Keanu and Maeve were bad enough. If Kao were to have died too . . . . I think I'd have gone home to my father, and let him kill me just so I wouldn't feel the pain of hat." For that brief moment, a spark in her eyes appeared, and a small smile touched her lips at the thought of her best friend. It was one of the few reasons there had been a rumor going around that she and Kao were secretly dating. Because the two were so close. But there was so much behind the story that others didn't realize. She and Kao were simply best friends, and Kats had all but officially adopted her, as it was. She quietly showed the picture of Dean, her gaze sad as she nodded, "He was the most amazing man I'd ever met. I don't know why he left so suddenly though. I think that's the most painful part. He didn't die, he wasn't killed . . . He simply . . . had left. Before I even had the chance to tell him I was pregnant. He's been gone for nearly 7 months, and I don't know how I've survived so long with out him . . I don't know how I keep surviving with out him." She admitted, brushing her fingers against the smiling face, and the humor-filled twinkle in his eyes that showed the man clearly had a bad boy side.

She looked at the girl in surprise when she said she didn't love Keanu, gently shaking her head, "Please, don't say you didn't love him on my account. If you truly did, I do not mind." She said softly, tilting her head, "To be honest, I always thought you would have been better for him, because I had loved before, and I still love Dean, where as with Keanu, he was my second love . . . and while he held a special piece of my heart, not even he could heal the wounds from Dean's abandonment." She admitted quietly. "It pains me to admit it, but it's true." She lowered her gaze, "I assure you, I've been in more distress before in my life . . ." She admitted, before looking at her, "And, I can't help it. I naturally worry about others . . ." She breathed quietly, before looking at Faith, suddenly remembering, "I almost forgot." She pulled out the picture she'd taken from Keanu's room, handing it over, "I thought you might have wanted this . . ." She said softly, smiling faintly. "It's what made me realize I can't be the only one truly hurting . . . and hoping you'd be able to understand why I hurt so much . . ." She said gently, before reaching to touch her hand, "He adored you, you know . . . He spoke of you often. And that silly pup of his thought you were pretty awesome too." She said quietly, knowing the girl had to be hurting too, and wanting her to be reassured as well.

Faith shrugged gently at the girl's words, watching the ground. She really didn't want to deal with this right now, talking about Keanu. She hated remembering how she had only had one friend left and she just recently had to attend his funeral. "I get by. I've realized that everyone I get close to dies, so I refuse to be friends with anyone else. For their safety." She said softly, sad eyes looking back at the table of pictures. She missed them so much... "I'm not lonely, though... I visit them every day. Their graves, I mean." Well good going, Faith. Make yourself sound crazy. Good. She sighed, listening to Phallontine's words about her boyfriend that left her. "Well now if that's the case, then he didn't deserve someone as pretty as you if that's the case." She said gently, knowing that that was probably not what she wanted to hear, but saying it anyway because she thought that it was true. It was also true that she had lied about not loving Keanu. She had loved him so much... But she couldn't tell this girl that. She obviously loved Keanu much more than Faith had loved him, so she would just let it be. She didn't have to open up to anyone. "You're right. I did love him. But only as a friend. Nothing more." She said softly, almost wanting to show the younger girl to the door. But she couldn't do that. She had to be polite and comfort the grieving girl. "Don't say that. You couldn't have possibly thought that since we only just met. He was very kind to me, but it was out of friendship." She said, looking over at Phallon. She was sure that Keanu had loved this pregnant girl. How could anyone not love her? She was pretty and very sweet. Keanu would have been crazy to not love her. Faith took the picture that the girl offered her and her heart sank, her jaw clenching and tears coming to her eyes. "This is when he took me to dinner one night... Fancy place... He spent way too much money on me." She said, touching Keanu's face gently before she felt the girl's hand on her's. "I'm sure he didn't speak of me that often... Oh Taboo... He was the sweetest thing... They were the best pair..." She said, shifting her hand to rest over her heart.

[style=width:390px; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 12px; color: 883538; text-align: justify;padding-left: 15px]Phallon felt horrible. Here she was in her full on panic, and feeling bad. She kept taking about herself, and her own situation, and this poor girl didn't want to hear anything about it. She looked up at the other speaking about how she wasn't really lonely, but how she refused to be friends with anyone now. A small frown touched Phallon's face, "But . . . everyone needs friends. Even you . . . I don't think those you've lost would want you to cut yourself off from everyone else . . ." She said soothingly before blushing, her gaze, "I apologize, I hope I'm not being disrespectful by saying such." The young dragon said quietly, before blinking in surprise, and quickly shaking her head, "I'm really not that pretty, more like plain, really. Anyone can have brownish hair." SHe mumbed with an obvious blush, before listening as the girl explain she had loved Keanu, but only as a friend. She let a soft sigh out, before looking away when the other clearly seemed emotional over the image, and suddenly she felt like she was intruding. Slowly Phallon stood, lowering her gaze, "I should probably go now . . . I don't want to intrude on you for too long . . . And I really hope nothing I've said has upsetten you." She looked up at the girl briefly, adding, "It was wonderful to finally meet you, Faith."
