Jordan took a long drink from her water bottle, swallowing that little pill that was supposed to stop her from being depressed all the time. Though, how it did that Jordan had no clue, and yet it did calm her down and it made her happy. She sighed and sank down lower in her seat, causing her head to lull forward just a little bit. Her eyes started to close, but she forbade them. Closing her eyes meant sleep, and sleep meant restless nightmares in which she woke up screaming. And Jordan wanted anything but that.
She sat up straight, crossed her legs and looked deeply into the fire as she started to wander down memory lane. So many things had happened and so many times had she tried to forget them,but nothing really ever happened. It would simply pass and she move on to whatever she was doing before the memory pounced on her unsuspecting brain. Jordan frequently remembered things she did not want to remember, and all she could do was live with it. She just wanted her life back, and that was it. Just her life.
Hearing the Lounge door creak open, Jordan turned her head to see who had entered. She saw Kiyla Johnson, one of her Hufflepuff friends enter the Lounge and immediately felt relieved. Maybe she would talk to Jordan, who knew? She hadn't spoken to Kiyla in ages, or what seemed to be ages and she really did look forward to when they would speak again.

Kiyla walked in the lounge feeling exhausted. She didn't know why she did but she did. She lazily opened the door to the lounge, nearly stumbling over her own to feet. She looked around for a place to sit when she saw her friend Jordan.
Kiyla smiled, barely, as she walked over towards her then plopped down on the couch next to her.
"Hey, Jordan! What's up? Haven't seen you in a minute!" Kiyla said with a lazily sort of smile. Kiyla had been feeling odd lately... she wondered why but didn't ask any questions.

Jordan looked up as Kiyla did in fact join her. She smiled and tucked some hair behind her ear, opened her water bottle once more, and took a short sip before pulling another one out of her bookbag and handing it to Kiyla, who looked like she could use it.
"Nothin really. Being rather bored, feeling giddy. But, meds will do that to you. How have you been? You look, well, exhausted." Jordan greeted in reply. She opened her gummi bear package and ate some before offering some to Kiyla. Jordan chewed as she thought and then looked at the fire.
"It's been awhile since it was this quiet, hasn't it? Everything has seem so hasty. And the school year seems to be flying by." Jordan added as she turned her attention back to her friend with a smile that told her she had been thinking a lot lately.

Kiyla looked at Jordan strangely, then took a sip of the bootle of water. She sipped then paused at the relief it gave her.
"I've been ok. Just 'out of it' lately, you know?" Kiyla said as she drank some more water.
"What do you mean 'meds'? What's wrong?" Kiyla asked Jordan, concerned. Kiyla hadn't talked to Jordan in ages and she didn't know anything that had been going on. But, it felt good for Kiyla to be able to talk to Jordan.

Jordan nodded understandingly at Kiyla. She had been out of it lately as well. She sighed and looked down at her fingernails as she began to ponder whether she should tell Kiyla everything.
"Well, do you know about Katie?" She asked, as she looked up and locked eyes with Kiyla. Jordan sighed and took another sip of her water, as if it was going to hide her from the misery. But, she knew very well that wouldn't happen. If Kiyla wanted to know what the anti-depressants were for, she would have to know the whole story. And Jordan didn't know if she had heard rumors or heard the actual tale.

Kiyla looked at Jordan concerned and confused. Kiyla hadn't heard anything about Katie and wondered what it could possibly be. She bit her lip softly as she watched Katie take another sip.
"What happened? I didn't hear anything about Katie." Kiyla said slightly worried. "Is she okay? Come to think of it I haven't seen her around lately...."

Jordan sighed, not really wanting to explain this all but knowing she had to. She smiled slightly at Kiyla before sitting back in her chair.
"Brace yourself. Um okay, we adopted her, that ya know. Well, one day my brother's fiance slapped Katie, Rosa sent us back to her abusive father's home. We get there, and he hits Katie. I defend her. He knocks down the bedroom door we were in. And hits her again. I grab the lamp, and hit him over the head. Killing him. Katie goes into a coma for about two weeks. Then comes out. She doesn't do so well, and decides to live with her Grandparents in the United States. So no, more than not you wouldn't see her around here anymore. Um, after Katie woke up from a coma, my brother sent me to a physchiatrist, and he perscribed anti-depressants. I take them everyday now and I feel fine, but if I miss one..I'm all out of wack. They've helped a lot. I am sorry I didn't tell you, I just didn't feel like reliving it...again. And I figured you would have heard, there was a lot of things going around the school at that time." Jordan explained in a quiet voice, ehr lips moving slowly and she devoured each word into an elegant form of pain.

Kiyla listened quietly and put her head down. She didn't know all this.
"Really? So... wow..." Kiyla said softly. That was really all she could say. She looked over to Jordan and smiled weakly then gave her friend a hug.
"Well, at least things will get better..." Kiyla said with a shrug as she let Jordan go.

Jordan hugged Kiyla and hunched her shoulders up as if to say; no big. No one really knew. They heard rumours. No one knew the whole story. No one knew what really happend. Not even Dillion. Dillion didn't even know Katie had been in the hospital, and she wasn't about to tell him Jordan was on medication.
"I'm glad that you're here with me now. I guess I needed someone to talk to. So thanks. Most people would freak out, I suppose. It means a lot to me that I know that you are here." Jordan told her with a small smile and her shoulders receding from its small hunch position.

Kiyla smiled at Jordan, reassuringly. She didn't like to see her friends down. It made her feel down too.
"I didn't freak out. Why should I?" Kiyla asked Jordan slightly confused.
Kiyla turned to look at the fire dance. She thought about Katie and remembered that Katie had given her a guitar. Kiyla smiled to herself softly as a tear rolled down her cheek. She was going to miss the girl.

"Because many people have, actually, you and Kris are the only two who haven't. You are here for me, and Kris well...he took no pity. Haha, didn't expect much from a Slytherin though." Jordan answered with a slight shrug. She sat back in her seat and slouched down lightly.
"So, what's up? Anything new on your part?" Jordan asked, trying to turn the spot light from her to Kiyla, but if Kiyla didn't want it...then she didn't have to take it. But Jordan wanted to knwo what was going on in the other Hufflepuff's life. A lot had happened since the drama at the ball and so forth, and Jordan was wondering what that was.
