The night was chillier that Jessica had ever remembered it had been. She wondered if the heating charms in the castle were just failing, or it was just the absence of company that's making her feel the cold. She was heading back from the library, having finished a paper for a class the next day. It had taken her much longer than usual, for her thoughts seemed preoccupied with a young man with blonde hair. Evan had been in a constant in her thoughts since she had last spoken to him over the journals; he sounded so miserable and broken that it broke her heart. Jessie wanted to comfort him, and tell him everything was going to be okay, but it seemed the other wouldn't believe her no matter what she said...

With a sigh, she said the password for the Common Room entrance and went silently inside, planning to go directly to her room when a familiar figure caught her eyes on the way to the staircases. "Evan?" she called out and approached him cautiously.

Jess' head was bowed when he spoke. Every hurtful, sarcastic word that entered her ears was a blow to her heart. She waited until he was done, knowing that when she would try to stop him, he probably wouldn't hear her. "You don't hate Adam." she said, believing it with all that she has. "You're just hurt because you want him to take back what he's said and tell you he's not going to get disowned you..." She took his hands in hers, and carefully propped them on his lap. "He's still there though, isn't he? With the same face, the same person. I don't think he will EVER leave you. He will just be a little farther than he usually was, but stil never out of reach." Thumbs drew circles over his knuckles, hoping to calm him. "You don't have to make this so hard, Evan. I... I can no longer simply watch you sink and do nothing..."

"No," he said bluntly, trashing her thoughtful spiel with one bitter word. "He's not the same. He would've never done this. He used to care about our family name. He used to care about making our father proud. He used to take care of things." Evan had always looked up to Adam more than was likely healthy, probably because Evan himself had always fought so hard to earn his father's approval that Adam seemed to earn so naturally... until now.

"And-" He let out a weak laugh. "Adam... wouldn't have been to big of a coward to tell me to my face. In a sodding letter. Fucking Merlin's beard."

Jess was taken aback by his harsh tone, and his sharp stare. Hurt, she looked down as he spoke, careful to hide the fact that she was trying to hold herlsef together before she looked up at him again. "I don't know what else to say..." she admitted. "Right now it seemshe could not do anything to remedy what has already been committed. I just think that though you can't turn back time... you can still set things right. Drinking and getting wasted doesn't accomplish that. You're... running away from something." A pause as a thoughtful expression crossed her features. "What are you afraid of?"

Evan stared at her. “Because that’s what us Pucey’s do, right, Jessica? We run away?” A sober Evan wouldn’t have talked to Jessica the way he had been that evening, but Evan wasn’t sober, and he wasn’t happy, and he didn’t give a flying flip about how anyone felt or what anyone thought of him. “I’m not fucking running. I have to do what my brother was supposed to. I’ll be the one everyone’s looking to now. I’ll go to all the stupid fucking parties and be on best behavior, dance with all the eligible pureblood women, tell the fucking old hags how lovely they look in their stupid dresses. I’ll take over Dad’s business and run it- so what if he has to cram 17 years worth of knowledge and connections into two years? I’ll become head of household, fix everything for everyone, and I won’t fucking run away like my brother did.” He hung his head, letting his eyes close. “Dad put everything into him, you know. Adamson Pucey, the golden boy. Ha!”

It was becoming quit an effort to stay calm despite every word van lashed out at him. But Jessica told herself he was under the influence, that he would never hurt her if the circumstances were different. She didn't know for sure, but if she didn't cling to what faith she had in him, she had nothing.

She watched him hang his head and close his eyes. "You're afraid you're not going to please your father the way your brother did. You're afraid you won't live up to what your father is expecting." she stated, trying her best to understand what he was feeling. "You're afraid of being judged from how you perform a task that wasn't yours to begin with..." Gently, she lifted his face so she could look at him. "You're too young for this sort of burnen. Much too young..." she said, before her lips rose in the corners into an encouraging small smile. "But you're not alone in this. You have Anna, and Peyton. And though I don't know if this means anything at all, but you have me. I believe in you, and I know I'm not making a mistake with thinking that..."

	"Can I go to bed now?" he asked gruffly. Evan was stubborn enough sober, let alone when he had alcohol in his system. He wasn't about to admit that Jessica was right, but he was running out of steam to fight with her. He was running out excuses and snappy comebacks. Bed seemed like a much easier option. It was getting to be late anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It was another blow to have been dismissd so quickly, her sincere words thrown back at her without remorse. But jessica knew that whatever he did, she could not hold it against him. It was a holds he had on her that she knew would not ever change.

With a gentle nod, Jessica released him and carefully stood. "Do you need help?" she asked, managing a small smile as she did so.

	"No." Probably, actually, but again, he was being stubborn, and that was unlikely to change until tomorrow when his stubbornness came back to bite him in the form of a very, very painful hangover. "I can do it." He heaved himself up, swaying a bit, before slowly starting up the stairs. Halfway up, though, he paused to look over his shoulder. "Night, Jess." (Reply to this) (Parent)
