WHO: Wes and Callidora Nott
WHAT: They're having a talk
WHERE: Head Girl's Room
WHEN: Saturday Night
RATING: PG-13
STATUS: Closed and in progress

Westly would admit, he'd had a few drinks before he took off for his sister's room. Some liquid courage in order to tell his sister what needed too. Once he got through the admitting... it would be fine. She was logical. She'd get it. The point was Westly needed Calli to get it, she was the only one he knew who could fully understand what he was feeling right now.

It wasn't too late, but it was after curfew as he got outside her door and knocked. She had to be there... Calli had to let him. And not get him in trouble for being out late! Not that Westly cared much about curfews lately, after what happened. "Calli, it's me. Let me in."

Callidora shook her head. "Oh, Westly," she groaned. Merlin knew what he had done, and she certainly knew she didn't want to.

The fact that he was planning on leaving that summer didn't shock her. She didn't plan on going home, she was going to get a flat or something. She hadn't had it planned yet, but she was sure that their father would help her out. Her mother was the one that she didn't plan on living with anymore; that was something that her and Westly didn't have in common. They were favored by opposite parents. "I just don't understand, wha-" her question was cut off, and possibly answered, with his last comment. "WAIT," she said, holding her hand up, "Oliver walked in on you?" Her Oliver?

"What? I'm sure you thought I was a player or something, when you thought I was into girls," he said arching an eyebrow at her groan.

And then she noticed that he mentioned her boyfriend. "It was after curfew. We were caught by Wood, and just snogging mind you. We didn't scar him," he said clarifying. "It got... a little out of hand. I tried to get him to stay quite and not tell you. But my company threatened him," Westly said sighing having to go over this again. It was easier not having to say Adam's name though.

"I made a mistake in trying to use family as an example of empathy. He went crazy, and shoved me against the wall. That's all though, my ex got him off me," he didn't like that term either, but there wasn't anything else to use. "And... he left. Gave us five minutes or he'd turn us in. And I thought we were getting careless, so in the spur of the moment I suggested a break for a couple of weeks. I'm guessing he misinterpreted, because the next thing I know he had a girlfriend."

"I wouldn't have been any happier if it was with girls! I didn't really think much about your sexual habits, Westly."

Although she had thought of the worst possible scenario when he had said that they had gotten caught, she was a bit relieved that it was only snogging. But to know that Oliver had known about this, before her? And the fact that Westly had been careless enough to have gotten caught by the Head Boy in the first place.

Everything was starting to get out of hand in her head now. "I..wait..that was you?" she asked, eyes widening at her brother when he told her about the incident with Oliver. "He told me about that, he had said it was because of everything was going on.." Her voice trailed off. It wasn't her business to tell Westly what was going on with Oliver's family. "I'm sure he didn't mean it," she said, her voice softly. "So..he didn't turn you in.." That was nobel of him. If it had been Callidora (and she didn't want to think what she would have done it had been her that had walked in), and it had been someone else, she would have turned whomever it was, in a heartbeat. Perhaps Oliver hadn't turned Westly and his...ex in because of her? "He has a girlfriend?" Her eyes slightly widened. She wasn't sure it worked that way. "That is bloody ridiculous!" It was bothering her, really that she didn't know who he was.

Westly shrugged, his sexual habits weren't even the topic right now. And it wasn't his fault that his sister interpreted that way. He could have been snogging at those functions for all she knew.

"Oh so he told you about it?" he asked surprised. But he kept his word anyway. That was saying something... noble anyway. "Oh I'm sure he did mean it. It hurt like he meant it," he said remembering. "But no, he didn't turn us in."

"Yeah he does. Just suddenly over night," he said sighing. "And Calli... this isn't like, suddenly just switching up. I've been seeing him since... like the beginning Feburary. And... it was serious Calli. Like really. And it hurts, knowing he can be this cruel to me now. And that it's over."

"Yes, he told me that he had gotten made at a bloke for saying something about his family, but now whom it was.." Or ran her fingers nervously through her fingers again. "Or in what context." And part of her was glad about that. But at the same time, it made her worried. Was he capable of lying to her? Of course, Westly had asked him not to, but still. "Still, Westly.." She sighed. "He knew, and you made him lie to me? How long ago has this been?"

But this wasn't about her. This was about him. It didn't matter that her...whatever Oliver was to her had caught him. And it didn't matter what sexual orientation Westly was, or that he had been careless enough to get caught. He was hurting. Someone was hurting her brother like Gregory had hurt her, and it was her turn to take care of him. "Oh, Westly.." she said, walking over to sit next to him on the bed. "Wes, I am so sorry," she said. "He's a prick to have hurt you like that.." She didn't need to tell him that she knew how he felt.

"Well, now you know," Westly said shrugging. It didn't exactly suit well for revenge on Oliver but... whatever. He had other things to worry about than revenge right now. Except if it included Longbottom... "Well he could have just not mentioned it to you. Really Calli, how would you have reacted if your boyfriend told you I was snogging a bloke?" he said trying to get her to make sense of it. "It was only Thursday... though it feels like weeks. I would have told you sooner but... I have had an emotional crisis on my hands," he said not looking for sympathy just stating the pure facts.

When she came to sit next to him... Wes didn't know what to do. She was saying these things... "He... wasn't like this before," he said feeling it all rushing back again. Ready to overwhelm again. But this time he just couldn't fight it back. "Calli..." he said turning to look at her but all he could manage was to hide his face in her shoulder as he started crying. "It's not fair... not when I was starting... when I was realizing-" but he didn't finish it. If he didn't say it out loud it wouldn't be true. That he was falling in love with Adam Pucey.

Callidora had to admit, Westly had a point. She probably would have freaked out more if Oliver had told her that he had caught her brother snogging a bloke, so it was probably best that Westly had told her himself. It was still slightly unsettling that her 'boyfriend' knew before her, but still. It was out in the open, and if it was one thing Callidora had learned as of recent was that it was bad to linger in the past. "No no, I understand," she said, nodding her head as she looked down at her hands in her lap.

She didn't expect her brother to break down that fast. She had never really seen him get that emotional, especially cry. But because she wasn't an emotional shell anymore, she almost felt like she was going to cry. A real sister, not some stiff, bitter girl. "Oh Wes," she whispered wrapping her arms around him. She comforted him by rubbing his back gently, feeling horrible that he was so sad. "I'm sorry.."

She was right not to expect it. Westly never cried in front of anyone. Even his mother, he'd only go into fake fits when he was younger just to get attention. But after this... Westly felt like he was just going to crumble apart. Adam had taken away his self control and he was giving in now. Westly had at least been able to hold it in around Phoenix the night before... but not with her sister.

And Wes was really glad she's come out of that shell. Not just for him now, but at least he knew his sister was happier, and healthier. It sucked to realize it in the moment when he needed her to be human the most, but Westly was still glad about that. Her rubbing his back felt nice, but he still continued to sob.

He still wasn't going to tell her who it was though. That would just open up another bit of drama. Her best friend's twin brother... breaking her brother's heart. That wouldn't go over well with Calli.

Before recently, Callidora wouldn't have known what to do with Westly. But now she could hone in on the few mothering skills she had picked up (not from her mother, of course), comforting her brother.

It was quite a horrible feeling, having him cry in her arms like that. Of course, she wanted him to let it out. There was nothing worse than botteling up all the horrible feelings and never letting them out. And it felt like a victory for Callidora to be able to comfort him and not completely shut him out and pretend it wasn't happening. She just wished she could do more.

Like know who this boy was that was hurting her brother so badly. She never was able to seek revenge on Gregory for hurting her so badly (except, of course, Oliver punching him in the face), and she wanted to make up for that by hurting the person that had hurt her brother. But he wouldn't tell her, and although that was a bit annoying, that wasn't what this was about. This was about making Westly feel better.

It took quite awhile, but eventually Westly stopped sobbing. He just couldn't cry anymore... well maybe he could but he was resolved to stop at least for a little while. "Thank you," he muttered against his sister's arm, since he still had his head against her shoulder, and she was hugging him to her.

"I still don't want to be without him Calli. I want him back..." he said weakly. It was stupid. Why would be go back when Adam could so willingly move on? Over a stupid misunderstanding at that! But he wanted him... he didn't want anyone else.
