Class had ended and her students had headed out for the day. It was her turn as she walked out of the school heading towards her car. Moving here had been good for her it had put some space between her past and her present. She had made a few friends and her students were like students anywhere for the most part.
Aishan Ward [5:59 PM]
Aishan was standing besides Ilayda's car waiting for her to get of work for the evening. He watched the students move about. Some giving him a curious look, but nothing out of the ordinary. They just thought he was someone just waiting to pick another person from school.
Ilayda Ward [6:05 PM]
Seeing someone standing next to her car made her pause upon seeing who it was she let out a sigh. Was it too late to turn around and go back the way she came? He would probably keep waiting. She sighed and moved towards him. "I suppose it is too much to hope that you just came to give me signed divorce papers?"
Aishan Ward [6:15 PM]
He would keep waiting. He was a very patient man, and besides she couldn't stay within the school for long. "No, I haven't."
Ilayda Ward [6:16 PM]
She mumbled at his words. "Really, Ais. It just takes ten seconds." Hell he was probably standing by her car longer than that.
Aishan Ward [6:20 PM]
"That might be, but unlike you I'm not ready to give up on us." He had been. He probably been standing by her car for a good ten or fifteen minutes.
Ilayda Ward [6:24 PM]
They had this conversation so many times that it felt like an old hat. "Somethings are just over." She told him. "Why are you here?"
Aishan Ward [6:29 PM]
He had to agree with that, but they would continue to have this conversation until one of them submitted to the other's will. "This isn't one of them." He regarded her for a few moments. "Have you really forgotten?"
Ilayda Ward [6:34 PM]
"It is." She told him. It was a conversation that she was going to win. "Maybe?" it depended on what he was talking about he had no reason to be here that she could think of.
Aishan Ward [6:42 PM]
"No, it's not." It was not. She was eventually going to see reason. He let out a sigh. "Adriance is going to be disappointed."
Ilayda Ward [7:05 PM]
His words gave her pause but she had to pull away. "He has to come to accept my being gone too. He is as bad as you. Noo worst somehow he always pulls me into stuff." There was nothing healthy about her relationship with his kid brother she was a teacher for crying out loud. Something was really wrong with her.
Aishan Ward [7:14 PM]
"He doesn't have to accept anything." He snapped out her before letting out a sigh. "He's been through enough already without adding your rejection to the pile." He didn't think there were anything unhealthy about their relationship. Oh, he knew. He was very aware what the two have been doing and some part of him was upset. She was his wife, but at the same time he knew beings like he and Adriance would have many lovers over their long life it was unfair to expect her to be with only one person.
Ilayda Ward [1:29 PM]
"He does." She stated back. She knew what his brother meant to him but that didn't change the fact that Adriance needed to learn this. She sighed. It was wrong he was a minor.
Aishan Ward [1:46 PM]
"No, he doesn't." She wasn't doing anything that Adriance didn't want to do. If Aishan had to hazard a guess his brother had probably seduced her. He didn't see her being the one edging their relationship into that direction. She would have tried everything to keep it from going that way.
Ilayda Ward [2:19 PM]
She gave him a look. It did not matter who seduced whom she was an adult it was her duty to say no. And she had let it happen. Running her fingers through her hair she looked at him. It was best to cut all ties sure it would hurt now but in time every one would heal and move on.
Aishan Ward [2:26 PM]
That where she was wrong. They wouldn't heal--especially not when they don't know why she made her decision. "Look I know you hate me, but Adriance shouldn't be blamed for my mistakes."
Ilayda Ward [2:47 PM]
They would. "I don't hate you. We jut don'y work." She told him. "I am not taking it out on him. There is nothing...he...I am a horrid person who should have never let it go this far. In time he will see that."
Aishan Ward [2:53 PM]
"Don't you? You are willing to give up on us simply because things got difficult." He folded his arms across his chest. "Yes, you are. You might not mean to, but that doesn't cease to make it so. Yet, you did. Believe me Adriance doesn't harbor any ill feeling towards you. He doesn't think what happened between you is wrong. He would announce it to the world if it wasn't for the fact it would hurt you."
Ilayda Ward [3:04 PM]
"Some people just are not meant to be together. They are too different. It doesn't mean one or the other hates them. It just mean they know they are different and those differences can't be bridged." She told him with a frown. To be honest sometimes her husband just freaked her out. "He might but he is a kid. And it is wrong."
Aishan Ward [3:13 PM]
"They can't be bridged if you don't try. It wouldn't have been easy, but we could have--we still can---work through our differences." Freaked her out? Why would she say that. "He is capable of making his own decision. Says who? Human society whom knows nothing of my brother."
Ilayda Ward [3:22 PM]
She mumbled under her breath. She had tried. It was not easy. He was intense. Bossy in...a...way she was not sure she had words for. "There is no decision to make kt never should have happened. Adults are not suppose to sleep with minors. Nor teachers with students." She gave him a look. "He doesn't always get what he wants nor should he."
Aishan Ward [3:38 PM]
She haven't tried. She ran as soon as he opened himself up to her. She fled as soon as things turned into a direction she didn't like. "There was a decision to make. Whether you believe you should have kept it from happening or not doesn't change the fact that there was one. If there wasn't you would never have felt a longing for him. He wasn't five when you slept with him. He is no more a minor than you are" His eyes narrowed upon her last words before snarling out. "He doesn't always get what he wants. Adriance have been through things that you will never understand. But, you want to turn your back on him fine. I can't stop you. I had thought you were more compassionate than this, but I guess I was wrong. I will bring your papers tomorrow and you can go back to living your self-centered little life" He turned from her and started to walk away.
Ilayda Ward [3:44 PM]
She had. Just because that trying hadn't resulted in the ending he wanted did not mean she hadn't tried. She wasn't about to change who she ws to fit nor did she want him to. Thus this was best. "I can be his teacher or even someone to talk to if he needs it. And he does you give into his every desire." He did she almost dared him to argue the point with her. "Don't say I am not compassionate because I don't see things your way that is part of the problem. Not sleeping with him hardly equates that. Good." She said with a huff pulling open her car door.
Aishan Ward [3:56 PM]
No, she haven't. She left as soon as things went into a direction she didn't like. She never tried to see if whom they were could mesh. "Don't give me that. You made it clear you wanted nothing to do with him. I wasn't asking for you to continue to sleep with him. That is between you." He wasn't even certain which decision he wished her to make on that regarded. There was a part of him that wanted to tell her to stop, but only because she was his and the very idea of her sharing another's bed didn't make him happy. "I give into his every desire because I need to make up for the times I failed him. Our father used to beat him merciless because Adriance...well, you know how he is....he's a free spirit. You aren't compassionate. You are doing what is easier for you not what is best for him. Adriance cares for you, and turning your back on him will cause him nothing but pain."
