Someone Familiar PV Odette Haven Finished

A few people in the corridors tried their best to stay out of the conflict while others watched. Aravis realized she had worded it wrong. "No, no I didn't mean that you weren't my family. I get compared to everyone we see on the streets, I meant in general. I judge people because that's all I know how to do from being judged. Stop making it all about you, other people have problems. You aren't the only one with voices in your head you know!"  Aravis shouted after her cousin. Frankly she didn't care if Odette even heard her. When Aravis was younger she always tried to help people with their problems, however no matter who it was she was always pushed away and shut out. Aravis was taught that other people's problems were other people's downfalls and that helping them would lower her guard and could cause her downfall as well. 

It wasn't that Aravis was mean, she was actually a really kind girl. It's just that she was always misunderstood. She was never close with people other than when she was 5. Aravis had another memory run through her head. She had another uncle that Odette didn't even know. His voice often ran through her head. He was a dark lord and her Aunt Farrah and Uncle Arthur wanted her to follow in his foot steps. It was quite funny however, it was almost like they wanted Odette to be the one that would destroy her in the future. 

Aravis wouldn't be surprised if Odette did follow that legacy. She knew Aravis had a short temper due to everything she had been through, she knew Ara was bi-polar and like a bomb she could explode at the slightest touch. However, her cousin didn't even bother to stop her 'joke' before she said it. Aravis looked at the silver and blue hair piece in her hand. She missed her mother, her snake, her brothers. She wished Lucien would have came to Hogwarts with her to help her through the pain. 

Odette turned around one last time, tears still streaming down her face. "I'm- I'm the one making it about me? Seriously? And if you are still thinking about that stupid joke that I made. That I apologized for instantly after I said it, then whatever. Think what you want to think. Let Farrah and Arthur win by doing exactly what they want you to do. Go ahead. But I'm not going to stop trying to help. You want someone there for you? Then stop pushing them away. Stop pushing me away!" Odette wanted to be there for Ara. She wanted to be the person she leaned on because she understood the feeling of having no one. It's as if Aravis almost expects her to be perfect as well. As if Aravis herself has never made a mean joke or yelled at them for something they didn't mean to do.

Odette was just tired. Tired of everything. Tired of Farrah and Arthur. Tired of getting caught up in emotions that always seem to cause her problems. Tired of Aravis, Lucien, and Maven being upset with her because she doesn't get treated the same as they do. Odette felt defeated. She felt empathy for her cousin. She felt everything. Took everything on her shoulders when she didn't have to.

Turning around, Odette walks towards the direction of the library, hoping one day, one day, that Aravis would let her in or anyone in.
