Louisa sat up slowly when he started talking about his parents loving only each other. She turned to face him while he was still lying back. She offered a very small but sad smile, "Adam... I think you should stop thinking about it." It was one of those times when Louisa found herself not as smart as she thought she was, with nothing comforting to say to a friend.
And then came his fear. The girl listened quietly, and very politely to the whole thing. It made her heart slow down a bit, listening to his deep concern of not retuning to that loneliness state. Very sad. She spoke once he'd finished, her voice matched his tone. "Oh Adam, you're not going to die alone." Again with the know-it-all attitude. Louisa sighed and tried again, "I won't let it." She offered a smile before adding more enthusiastically, "How about we make a promise to each other today?" In fact, the idea was greater than expected. She reached for her bag and started rummaging through her stuff as she talked, "We can do like the people in movies do." Even if she wasn't a fan of non-documentary movies, she knew some. "We write an oath or something and bury it in here. It's like letting the earth protecting it for us... or something." Only they weren't going to return to Hogwarts and take it out. It was just a gesture of commitment.
Adam nodded, understanding Louisa's point. He figured that embarrassment was definitely something that Vashti would be feeling...after all who wouldn't be at least a little bit embarrassed, right? And if she had a boyfriend...well...that just made the whole situation even more complicated and confusing. Poor Vashti. Poor Dallin. And poor Ellie...
When Louisa suggested that he should stop talking about it Adam nodded in agreement. It was time for him to just the whole thing go. It wasn't going to change, the whole situation with his parents...err parent...so it was best to just move on. Adam was quiet after he'd spoken, and he figured that Louisa would work her hardest to insist that that was not going to happen to him, and that she wasn't going to let it happen. He prevented himself from looking towards her because they were entering that dangerous territory that Adam was trying to prevent them from entering anymore. Even though the promise should have touched him and made him happy, it just made him sadder as a part of him confirmed that Louisa would never promise him to that in the way that he wanted her to. She would promise to be there as a friend, and a friend alone, and Adam feared the day that that would no longer be enough for him. Would he be able to survive being at Louisa's wedding when she gave her whole heart and love to another man? When she started a family that he wasn't involved in? He knew it was a long way off, but as time went on Adam's hopes that one day him and Louisa might be more was getting slimmer and slimmer.
Nevertheless Adam tried to prevent the true depression from showing on his face, and sat up along with Louisa.
"Sure," Adam managed to get out, trying to keep a strong facade that Louisa wouldn't be able to see through. He could make a promise to her...after all he had just gone on saying if the person was important enough it was at least worth trying right?
"What should we write?" Adam asked.
