☯||♡I Will Beg My Way Into Your Garden♡||☯

The storage room on the fourth floor was always being used for loads more than just storing things. Most recently, it became Effy's crying room. Yes, that's right, even bitches have hearts, broken hearts like it was in her case.

Her depression was getting the best and the worst of her. She could draw like mad, especially if she was drinking or smoking, not that she liked to do it, her inspiration was back, but the consequence's were awful.

That could probably explains why she was wearing long sleeves in the middle of the summer. Today she was crying because she did it again. She cut herself so deep and so hard, that even after she patched it all up with bandages, the bleeding didn't stop. Even her shapeshifting abilities couldn't help her here.

She was kneeling in the middle of all that garbage left in here, shaking and sobbing, while she wrote gibberish words and scrambled thoughts on the dusty floor. "I don't trust myself", said the most recent line. "I don't really understand."

Aris walked towards the storage rooms, carrying a box of lost and found objects that hadn't been claimed in months. He knew it wasn't his job, but it was better than making someone else do it. The young werewolf took his time getting there, a little nervous that he would run into someone hostile. He'd never been to this part of the school, though he had been on the fourth floor.

He opened up the room, only to find himself listening to sobs of a person he'd never met before. He looked around and set the L&F objects on the ground beside the door, which he closed. He called out quietly, "Heeeello?"

She covered her patched up arms immediately as she heard noises from outside. People never came to this room, it probably was nothing, but you could never be too sure. You could imagine the teens surprise when the noises became louder and louder, and closer to her hiding spot.

Finally, someone opened the door, and after she recovered from the initial shook, Neifile whipped the teardrops from her face and prepared herself to storm out dramatically. She got up and looked away. "I'm fine, all is fine, I gotta go, goodbye", all of her thoughts became a sentence that she spoke out loud.

"Everything is fine", the girl cried out and held herself together with her arms. "Ev-ev-evvv..." And after it, she started to sob again.

Aris blinked as alarm slapped his senses. He'd never seen someone so upset, but he automatically wanted to help her. He raised his hands very slowly and walked forward, just in case she wanted to run away, "Hey, are you okay?"

He mentally facepalmed at the stupid question, grimacing and trying to recover, "Well, I mean, I know you're not okay but, I mean, well." He growled in frustration at himself, shaking his head to clear it, "Do you need to talk about it?"

As soon as she noticed the gesture of his hands and the way he was approaching her, she immediately backed away, moving closer and closer to the wall behind her. Suddenly she felt like the walls around her were going to squash her like a bug. She fell on her knees and started to hyperventilate.

"I...know what you mean", was all the she could come up with. "And I'm fine, if fine means that I'm moody and depressed all the time, only dark thoughts come to my mind, I have no one to talk to about it, and I hate the whole wide world. Nothing to talk about there."
