No Way You're Getting Out Of This One

There were no words to describe how pissed Hitame was after what happened at Sophia's house during the Christmas break. She thought they would get along, she honestly did. It only had to be for one day too,just one damn day so they could all have fun together. The they could have gone back to hating each other, hell they could have tried to kill each other for all she cared. At this point she kind of wished they'd tried to do that to each other,that was how mad she was at the two of them.

She had invited Dex and Tris to Sophia's house so that they could all spend some time together. It was something that she couldn't do with him in school because no one liked that. Not the Gryffindors and not the Slytherins, she doubted many others liked that for different reasons too. It was different with Tris because she wasn't a Slytherin. She could hang out with her without a problem because she was a Ravenclaw. But they couldn't do it.

The Gryffindor had had faith that the two of them could put their differences aside just for a few hours for her. Normally she wouldn't even put her feelings into anything but she was honestly hurt right now. She didn't think that the two of them didn't care enough about her to do that for just one day. Not to mention that before even trying to fix anything, Dex just left. That was what pissed her off the most. He didn't even have the nerve to stay and try to fix anything.

Sometimes Hitame wondered why she even still had friends. All they do is let you down at some point anyways. Or they leave you behind like you're nothing. It had happened so many time to her that she wondered what made her think that it would be any different with the two of them. Especially when she knew they didn't like each other, so in reality it had all been her own fault. But she thought that because they were her friends, they'd be able to get along because they cared enough about her.

She had definitely been wrong.

It wasn't his fault. It really wasn't. Trisha hadn't given him any choice, really, but to leave. It had been altogether too embarrassing to sit there as she made passive-aggressive comments throughout the film Hitamé had chosen. Frankly, he didn't want to sit around any longer, pretending she didn't bother him or that he didn't wish he could go back to his early days with her and take back their fights.

Things would have been so much easier if he hadn't been so aggressively against being her friend from the start. Frankly, if she hadn't been so headstrong, yet surprisingly shy, he wouldn't have cared a whit about her. Maybe they could have just gotten on well enough to put up with each other. But of course she was, and it made him instantly adore her for the work he would have to put in to get to know her. But that meant, of course, that his parents wouldn't be even close to approving. And at the time, that had been massively important. Now, he was just desperate for something else to think about. But here she was again, Hitamé forcing them together.

He had to apologize. He knew that Hitamé was probably furious with him, and it would take a lot to get him back on her good side if he had messed up too badly. Making his way down to the grounds, Daemon could only hope he was right in guessing that she was out and about somewhere. Luckily, he spotted her a short distance away and sped up his steps as he approached.

"Hey, Hit?" He called, voice slightly tentative and anxious. "Have you got a minute?"

If she said no, Dex wasn't sure what he would do. Hitamé was one of the few people he sincerely cared about keeping as a friend. Especially considering she wasn't in the same house, Daemon wasn't about to let her friendship go easily. He was far beyond wanting to be friends with people in Slytherin. All they seemed to do was hurt others. But, then, wasn't he the same? He nearly frowned at the thought but redirected his thoughts on the Gryffindor in front of him.

So maybe everything that had happened was her fault. If it was, she wouldn't admit it. She was too stubborn to admit when she had done something wrong, especially when she had been hurt by whatever happened. The girl had known something was going to happen, but she had been stupid enough to actually let it happen, which sucked.

They don't have to do anything for you. No one does, you just expect it. You haven't learned anything have you?

No, she hadn't. Every time she was let down, she just told herself that whoever let her down didn't care enough about her and then she never spoke to them again. Look at what had happened with her and Alex. She hadn't spoken to him since she found out that he knew where Naomi was and what had happened to her. Maybe he had cared about her and he was trying to do everything himself so she wasn't exposed to danger.

No. He just didn't care. He should have told me where Naomi was as soon as he found out. Now I don't even know if she's still alive.

Maybe that was why she was so hurt by what had happened with Dex and Tris. They were the only friends she had left, besides Ryo and Sophia, who she saw everyday and hung around with. Ryo wasn't at Hogwarts anymore - not as a student, and Sophia had her own personal problems to deal with along with her job. Maybe she had just become to dependent on Dex and Tris. That had to be it.

Since Naomi disappeared, Hitame had been desperate to have someone near her and she had chosen the two of them. She needed someone to fill the void in her life without her sister around. But that didn't mean she would admit she had been wrong in wanting the two of them to be nice to each other while they were around her. That was something everyone expected their friends to do.

But that was usually with friends who could actually do it.

She heard someone call out to her and Hitame turned on her heels. Her gaze fell upon Daemon and for a moment she considered telling him to go away. She bit her lip and sighed shortly after deciding that that wasn't the best idea right now.

"What do you want?" she asked in a testy tone.
