Noelle sat on her bed, facing Petra and Briar. She didn't know why, but Petra was always good with getting people to spill their secrets. Maybe thats why the Marissa thing happened. Petra looked at Briar.
"No relationship is ever the same."
Petra said, lifting her long legs up on the bed.
"If you like this one, I say go for it."
Petra said, nonchalantly. She never got why people got all caught up in relationships. They were pointless.

"I liked everyone else. Doesn't change that they don't like me." Briar muttered, looking at the wall. "You wouldn't get it. You get everything, everyone you want. You don't get what it's like to lose every single person you ever care about, and have it be your fault. I mean, how could you?"

When Briar said that she wouldn't understand, Petra smiled slightly, in a way she did. She never saw her parents and that hurt the most.
"You're right, I wouldn't."
She said, looking at her.
"But I saw the way she was looking at you and she was absolutely smitten."
Petra said with a confident smile. This Briar girl didn't know what was in front of her.

"Yeah, but it'll only last so long. She'll stop needing me and I'll be just a piece of crap on the street. It happens all the time. Friends, boyfriends, girlfriends...parents." Briar whispered the last, choking back tears.

Noelle bit her bottom lip and stood up, motioning Briar to move over. She sat beside her and put an arm around her. Petra got closer and looked at Briar.
"You'll never know until you try. Life is about taking risks. What would you get out of life if you didn't just go for it? So this girl could break you heart. It will hurt for a while, yeah. But you'll feel better knowing you actually tried instead of kicking yourself in the future saying 'why didn't I go out with her'. She could even be the one. But only you are responsible for what happens."
Petra said, biting her bottom lip. She has only loved once. A guy she had been friends with forever. She remembered it didn't work out so well, but, she felt better because she knew she would have regretted it if she didn't try.

"Yeah, well, you still have both of your parents, don't you?" Briar snapped angrily, tears blinding her. The tiny, sensible voice in the back of her head warned her that she was getting too angry, that this was too risky, but she paid no attention. "Your father didn't leave when you were 10 years old because he was ashamed of you. You didn't have to watch your mother kill herself and not be able to do a thing about it. You. Don't. Get. It."

Petra snorted.
"You're not the only one who has it rough, So stop drowning in your own misery."
She stood up, grabbing her purse and slammed the door. Noelle bit her bottom lip, nervously.
"Petra never got to see her parents. So she's a bit sensitive about that topic."
She said, finally.
"I'm sorry about your parents. But Briar. You were only 10 years old. You can't blame anything on yourself. Those are your parents' problems."
Noelle said, in a soothing tone.

"You don't--" Briar broke off with a gasp. A shudder ran the length of her body and she convulsed, her body shaking and trembling. Her muscles contracted and she curled into a ball, shudder after shudder jerking her.

Briar was cut off and then she started jerking around. Noelle panicked, jumping off the bed and watched her in horror. She reached for her cell phone and frantically dialed 911. She shouted into the phone, panicked and the ambulance assured her they would be here shortly she hung up and squeezed her eyes shut, her heart racing. She tried to calm Briar, but didn't know what to do, until the ambulance came knocking on the door....
Petra was outside of the door, sitting on the floor. She was wiping her tears when she saw some paramedics, carrying first aid bags and other things into the room. She followed behind and saw that Briar was having some sort of seizure.

((If anyone cares about me powerplaying the paramedics let me know.))
Briar's spasms subsided and she lay limp and unconcious, very pale and a bit bruised from hitting the wall.
The paramedic stepped forward and took a quick glance at Briar's MedicAlert bracelet and relaxed. "Miss, is this the first time you've witnessed a seizure?"

Noelle nodded, speechless. She looked at Briar's unconscious, limp body and bit her bottom lip. Petra went up beside Noelle and squeezed her hand.

"This young woman has medication-resistant epilepsy. I can guarentee you this is a regular occurence for her. It's nothing to worry about, she'll wake up soon. If she's not awake in a couple of hours, max, feel free to give us a call, okay?"

"We'll be sure too, thanks."
Petra said to the paramedics. They all filed out and Noelle collapsed on her bed, starring at Briar who was now covered under the bed sheets. Petra sat down beside her.
"Well this year should be interesting."
She said, smiling slightly at Noelle. Noelle looked at her and then back at Briar. She took in a calming breathe, knowing that Briar would be alright.
"Lets give her some time to rest."
Noelle said, standing up.
"How about we go watch a totally cheesy movie in the lounge?"
Petra said, sliding out of her dress and putting on some comfortable pj's. Noelle grinned.
"Sounds perfect."
She said, taking one last look at Briar, who was now breathing normally again. Noelle quickly got into her sweatshirt and boxers and went to the lounge with Petra.

Briar came to slowly. Scarlet...then Petra and Noelle had both been here..."Shoot." she groaned, rolling over. Her head was throbbing, and she didn't want to deal with the world.
