*frowns* Effie? You okay?

[the-may-child.livejournal.com]

*hugs herself*

No, Alexis, I'm really not.

[alexis-not-alex.livejournal.com]

*bites lip* *hugs* Do you need to talk?

[the-may-child.livejournal.com]

*nods, though it's obvious that she's just a bit drunk and on the verge of tears*

I'm not happy. But I should be.

Why am I not happy?

[alexis-not-alex.livejournal.com]

What makes some people happy simply doesn't work for other people. Don't let anyone tell you what you should be. If you're not happy, you need to figure out what would make you happy and find it.

I know.

But he loves me. Nineteen years old and he loves me! But...but I don't know. I don't know anything anymore!

...he's not what I need. *laughs bitterly* I don't even know what that is, but he's not it.

*bites lip* Then you need to tell him. It will hurt both of you, but if he's not what you need...

But you need to make the decision while sober.

*nods*

I know.

*hugs tightly* My apartment will be empty after my party tonight if you need to grab some time alone for a few days...

[the-may-child.livejournal.com]

Thanks, but, umm... I think I'll be okay.

[alexis-not-alex.livejournal.com]

I'm always here if you need me, Effie. I consider you a very dear friend.

OOC: Not a problem at all. If anyone understands the need to disappear, it's Alexis. And she'll worry about her friend. But she won't tell anyone about it either.

[the-may-child.livejournal.com]

I know. *smiles slightly*

Thanks. You know, for understanding. I'll, um...see you in a while? Enjoy your party.

[alexis-not-alex.livejournal.com]

*nods* I'm only a fireplace away if you need me. Please don't hesitate to ask.

ooc: *nods* Poor things. But she's right, she needs to figure out who she is and what she wants before she can really be with anybody else. If she needs anything, Alexis is here for her.

[the-may-child.livejournal.com]

Don't worry. I won't.

Hey, Effie, what's wrong?

[the-may-child.livejournal.com]

Umm, Barty, hi.
