"Medea," she said softly, "That's a beautiful name. However, it's clear that you are feeling anything but beautiful right now. I'm so very sorry for the troubles you're going through right now," she said with great compassion. Silent tears were falling from Medea's eyes, and it nearly broke Violet's heart. She hated to see people in pain, so she put an arm lightly around Medea's shoulders as a physical symbol of support.

She stopped for a moment to ponder Medea's question. "Hmmm...have I ever been in love? Yes, about 50 times. Too bad it was never real love I'd felt, just the fantasy of what I wanted my 'prince' to be like. Rest assured that, if love factors into your problems right now, you are in excellent company when it comes to screwing up your life! I was thinking of becoming a Professor and teaching on the subject - kind of a "what not to do" class," she chuckled gently.

"What happened?" she asked softly, simply. She would let Medea share as much or as little as she felt comfortable and hoped that, even with her young years, she'd have just the right words to comfort her new friend.

The shell of a woman sat in silence as Violet said her name was beautiful. Medea didn’t really agree, but said nothing. The dark haired woman did like her name, but she didn’t believe it was beautiful. That’s why in her personal life she never used Medea. Never mind that, it doesn’t matter. The only name she wanted to be called was Cora. Leo’s Cora. She sighed inwardly.

The young woman went on about her love life. What struck Medea is that the woman had been in love, or thought she had, so many times. How could someone allow so many people to hurt them? Medea had loved once before, at Hogwarts. That broken heart was enough to shut her down completely, until that is ~~Mason~~ ~~Leo~~ Mason came into her life. Add to that whole mess Noah. GAH! Her life was total rubbish now.

Medea allowed the woman to put her arm around her shoulders for a moment, and then when it was Medea’s turn to explain her love triangle she as politely as she could removed the woman’s arm off her. That was really enough touching.

She fiddled with the tissue in her hands, which were in her lap. Softly she repeated the question, ”What happen?!” Where to start? A heavy breath was audible. ”Well the first time in almost 15 years I allowed myself to love, then I ruined it by building walls.” Oh yea she knew what she did, she knew why as well. She didn’t need a counselor, but somehow saying the things aloud helped. ”He left rightfully so might I add.” She sniffled and let a tear free fall from her face to her white pants. ”In an attempt to make him jealous I started dating another man – who unknown to me at the time – is the first man’s best pal.”

Oh she was getting to the awful part, the reason she was out here in a crumpled mess. ”Me and the man I love met today, trying to just clear the air and be friends. Well one thing lead to another, and we were about to kiss.” The tears were falling quickly from her eyes, it was getting difficult to speak, ”Then I called him the second man’s name. It was an accident, I mean for Merlin’s sake I AM suppose to be dating him.” Her face was back in hands. She couldn’t complete the story, hopefully Violet was sharp enough to piece together the rest. There was no way she could tell the last bit.

His words rang in her ears, ….that’s not my name. This is why she didn’t let people in, this is why she is cruel and mean – to avoid things like this.
