Elena felt sick through the entire ceremony. Her palms were sweating, and she couldn't but feel quite bad for both the boys whose hands she clung to so fiercely. On one side, Jacob Wood whom she had given quite the greeting kiss before sitting beside him, much to the horror of her parents who had been staring at her throughout the nuptials, and on the other, Westly Nott, whom she had promised to sit next to a few weeks ago.

Her heart felt like it was going to jump out of her chest any moment, and as they all applauded as the happy couple sealed their vows with a kiss, she was quite certain she had forgotten to breathe.

Was she really about to do this? She had already packed her things ahead of time. She had everything in her room. It would be a quick run home and then off to... well, she wasn't entirely sure just where yet, but she knew she woudln't be welcomed back into the house. She knew her life was about to take a sharp, drastic turn, that her support- even if it had only ever been monetary- was about to disappear for good. As the crowd trickled out, Elena could feel the two pairs of eyes upon her, and though she managed to release Westly's hand, her grasp on Jacob's tightened as they moved outside.

"Elena!" It was Millicent's hissing voice that reached her first, and she instantly moved away from all the people, away from the celebration. She didn't want to ruin Scorpius' wedding. It was better to keep the dramatics away from the ceremony. Elena didn't want to turn around. She wanted to keep walking, run even, but as soon as she felt safe they were out of ear shot, she paused in her steps, gave Jacob one last terrified look, and hesitantly turned around to meet the furious gazes of her parents.

"This had better be a joke, Elena," growled her father. His gaze flitted to their joined hands, and Elena swallowed nervously, before timidly shaking her head, her voice unable to escape her lips. "Don't shake your head at me." His grabbed her free arm, jerking her towards him, but her grasp on her boyfriend's hand was strong- perhaps painfully so for Jacob. "Let go, Elena. Don't make a bloody scene."

Ben was on a roll by then. He was livid, his face red, but all he knew was that he wanted to protect Elena. As long as she got away with Jacob, he could distract his parents. They weren't going to do anything more with Marcus there, and they could do whatever to Ben, as long as they didn't touch Elena.

He couldn't do what he had promised, though, and disown himself and leave with her. If he did, there was no knowing what they would do, go off and find them and kill them. Not something he was going to let happen, so he had to stay with them, unfortunately. At least it was only a few days until school.

Greg had put his wand away, but he reached out and grabbed Ben, yanking him towards them. "We are leaving," he shouted at Marcus, "come you little idiot." Ben rolled his eyes. "Yep, physical harm towards your children in a public place, definitely less embarrassing than Elena having a boyfriend." He shot a look at his mother. "Oh yeah, and that dress is less embarrassing, too. How long did it take you to squeeze into that?"

Millicent's eyes flashed, and rage crossed her face. "You disgrace! Just wait until we get home."

Ben laughed, shoving his elbow into his fathers arm to wrench himself away. "Whatever," he muttered, looking over his shoulder as his sister and Jacob left, a quick pang in his heart startling him. He genuinely felt awful, knowing that she must feel so upset. And he just hated his parents even more at that point.

"I appologize for my parents," he said loudly to Marcus Flint, loud enough for everyone else to leave as he made his way towards the door, "but you know how inbreeding can be." He pointed towards them, the smirk still there. "Are you coming, or are you two too fat to walk?"

Greg bounded towards his son, obvious intentions of taking his anger, embarrassment, and frustrations out on the only son that was left home. Ben grabbed his wand and flicked his wrist, Aparating to their manor, bracing himself for what was going to happen once they got home.

Jacob moved them farther away and stopped and turned Elena away so he wouldn't have to watch her parents. He pulled her into his arms, hugging her and kissing the top of her head. "It will be okay. You can come home with me, okay?" Jacob said promising to her. His father wouldn't mind. He'd liked Elena when she came to visit during the break. And she needed their help now.

He saw Westly coming over to Elena, and Jacob saw Flint looking at him, and he didn't walk back over to Avalon and his Mum yet. "I need to go... thank my Father. And then we can go right away. Will you be okay while I go and do that?" he asked.

Elena felt her resolve crumbling as she heard Ben's comments, no doubt a distraction. He had always been stupid like that, drawing attention away from her by getting himself in trouble. The loud crack of their disappearance signaled that resolve's complete collapse, and her tears were coming much more freely by the time she managed a small nod, hardly managing to make it over to the nearby bench. Her knees felt weak, and she was glad not to have hold herself up as she watched Jacob move to his father, his father who, even though Jacob resented him most of the time, cared for him enough to step up and protect him. Two loving fathers, and Elena... had none.

She could feel her shoulders starting to shake as she struggled to keep breathing through her sobs, and her hands latched on to the bench for some form of support as she saw a familiar form heading toward her. She hadn't wanted anyone to see, but she supposed it was inevitable, and soon everyone would know. Everyone would know Elena Goyle had been kicked out, abandoned, no longer wanted. "W-Westly, th-they-"

Westly watched Jacob go over to Marcus Flint, and he hurried over quickly to the bench where Elena was sitting. "Shh, it's okay you don't have say it," he said sitting down and hugging her quickly. He pet her hair a bit softly. It was just awful, Westly hated Elena's parents. Hated his own parents because they did the same thing to his sister... would do the same thing to him. "I'm sorry Elena that you had to go had to go through that," he said.

Elena's hands released their strangle hold on the bench as Elena wrapped her arms about Westly's neck, her choking sobs shifting into his chest. "They told me I was worthless," she whimpered. "And they tried to hex Jacob, and Ben's in so much trouble. I messed everything up." She wondered what the Notts would say when they found out. Was word already spreading? Would they come and usher him away and tell her he was not to associate with her?

"They hate me. M-my parents fucking hate me!" she exclaimed. She was having difficulty breathing, descending quite steadily into a panic attack as realization set in. "I've been disowned!"

"You're not worthless Elena," Westly said shaking his head. He could get why they tried to hex Jacob though. And Ben was always getting himself in trouble. Westly could already seen people were staring at them strangely, and Wes had already caught a disapproving look from Adam... He'd have to talk to him later.

"I'm sorry Elena," he said in a whispered voice trying to calm her down but she was already starting to panic. "They're pigs, and they don't deserve you. And really what kind of judgment do they have?" Wes said. After what her eldest brother did to his sister... and he wasn't disowned. Pathetic.
