172. 3/11.... Cora and Eden

by lovelovekitty on Tue Apr 22, 2008 4:02 am


((In case you're wondering about the title... think about some recent photostories really hard and you'll be able to figure it out... big hint, it's a countdown))

Image
Cora: *rather coldly* Did you need me for something, Eden?

Image
Eden: *in a friendly tone* The cat moved... he's about to wake up from this yearly sleepfest.

Image
Cora: *still coldly, her voice flat* Why are you in my room?
Eden: A little blonde bird told me what was going on... I wanted to talk to you.

Image
Eden: Cami filled me in so you don't have to do much explaining... I was wondering what was up today. Now I understand.

Image
Cora: I... see.. I really don't have much of anything to say on the matter Eden....

Image
Cora: I'm just.. always messing everything up. So I'm detaching myself from the situation... I'm obviously not being informed of something... I can tell there is something else going on here....

Image
Eden: From what it sounds like to me.... the only thing you're really at fault for here is guilty of teasing him too much. As for your theory, Cami agrees with you. She also thinks there is something much deeper going on here. She's been trying to figure it out but she won't take help from anyone...
Cora: *smiles* Cami catches on alot quicker then I do...

Image
Eden: Cora.. you have every right to be pissed off!! I would be to!

Image
Cora: *sighs* There is just nothing I can do anymore... I've already messed things up beyond repair... I was afraid that this was going to happen... whenever I start to care about something alot it gets all screwed up....

Image
Eden: Oh shush your mouth Cora. This isn't your fault.
Cora: Eden....

Image
Eden: The truth of the matter is this... men are terribly unreliable. Hell the only man I can rely on is Dmitri and he's only seven years old!!

Image
Cora: I guess I just.... I just feel like I messed it up somehow...
Eden: This is what I think your problem is....

Image
Eden: You rush into everything with your heart right out in your hand and you let the guys look at it and do what they want to it and you're not asking for anything in return... you need to guard yourself more. The bottom line is... you care too much.
Cora: How can I... how can I not care?

Image
Cora: I care so much all the time.. there is nothing I can do about it...
Eden: Then maybe you just aren't caring about the right people. You give your love to V and he just ignores it... maybe that's just how he is or whatever. But the cold hard truth is that he does... You care about Bhudo, though I don't know how much, and he keeps secrets from you.

Image
Eden: Try caring about someone who you know show you consideration in more then just one way, Cora. Who's proven that they are capable of doing that.
Cora: You are... referring to Dru aren't you?

Image
Eden: *puts her arm around Cora, leaning in close and whispering* Yeah I mean Dru! I mean the guy has been a great friend to you all these years Cora... and he's obviously a little smitten with you to come all the way out here to visit. Why don't you give yourself a chance to try to fall in love with him?
Cora: I just... I don't know if I feel that way about Dru, Eden.

Image
Eden: There is no harm in giving yourself the chance to find out. And the only way you are going to find out is to forget about these other losers that are playing around with you for a while.
Cora: I don't want to... just ignore them... I don't want to lose my friends.

Image
Eden: *looks at Cora's phone on the dresser* Then.. give me your phone. I will make your excuses for you and you can take a break from dealing with people who are only causing you pain. Who knows? Maybe you will even sleep better at night without having to worry about this.
Cora: I... I suppose. There is no harm in trying right... if they are really my friends they will understand...

Image
Cora: *hands Eden the phone* One condition.
Eden: Yes?
Cora: Try to be nice.

Image
Eden: Allright... wait a minute! Why am I agreeing to your conditions when I'm doing you the favor?!
Cora: I'll do my best if you do yours.

Image
Eden: *hugs Cora, kissing her on the forehead* I would never do anything to hurt you on purpose, Cora. I only want you to be happy.
Cora: *smiles* I know. I trust you. Now get out of my room before I get territorial!

Image
Cora: *listens to Eden leaving, shutting the door behind her, talking to herself* Maybe.... I think maybe Eden is right.
