"What did he almost do Viv. Talk to me. If you can't talk to me, who can you trust?"
"Viv, I thought you could trust me. What's wrong?"
"I really don't think now would be a good time to make her feel guilty, Zack. We've gotta get to the bottom of this, you understand."
"Then maybe I'd just better leave. God knows I'm not doing anything productive."

"NO!" She looked pleadingly up at Roux. "He can't leave. Don't let him leave."

Sands had to fight extra hard not to show any emotion. Goddamnit, if that bitch turned Roux onto his little act, he was going to be pissed. Well... more so than he already was.
"What did I do, Viv?" He made sure to turn on the puppy dog eyes and watch his mouth. Zack didn't swear often (enough).
Roux shrugged and turned to Zack, "You mind sticking around for a little while until Viv feels safe again? It'd be in your own best interest.
"Indeed it would," Sands murmured.

*She carefully made her way over to her bureau and pulled out her wand then cast multiple locking charms on the door. She was visibly shaking by the time she made it back to Roux.*
"I can't be in this room anymore." She whispered,tugging at his sleeve to make him go into the bathroom with her.

Roux sighed, but allowed himself to be led into the other room.
Sands, on the other hand, was slowly getting closer to contemplating jumping out the window. Wasn't there some curse to unlock doors? And more importantly, had he used it before? It certainly seemed that way. His wand was still in his pants... what did he have to loose?

meanwhile.... Vivian grasped the rims of the sink hyperventilating. Her brain arguing the whole way. One half decided she was a pushover and wasn't even fit to be the headmistress of the school let alone someones parent. If that was how she was going to allow herself be treated. Yet the other half was still a quivering mess and at the moment winning the battle.*

*Roux knew something was utterly wrong. Viv needed help and comfort and Zack was going off the deep end. Way too cold to be normal. He was only one person and could only help one customer at a time. Viv needed the most immediate help at the moment. So he gave her a comforting hug and held her as he whispered words comfort ion her ear.*
*It was the 6th charm that took the locks off. Sands sighed with relief before sparing a last glance at the bathroom. He left before anybody could notice and call him back.*

*Vivian leaned into the comforting arms and started crying. Bawling would probably be a better word for it though. Clinging desperatly to Roux she let all her pent up emotions out. She really didn't have enough dignity left to care how she must look.*

"Aw, love, it's all right. What happened? Do you care to let it out?"

*Sniffling softly she nodded.*
"Merlin," she whispered still clinging to Roux, but looking straight at him,. " I mean I knew Sands was a sick twisted fuck but this has just gone to far. I love Zack you know that, I know that the entire bloody school knows that. But I just...I just don't know if I'll ever be able to look at Zack without thinking about this." She shuddered slightly and sniffled a bit.

(You should read Broken Wings if you like stuff like that...)
*brows furrow* "Love, we got rid of Sands. You got rid of Sands. He can't hurt you anymore. What happened?"

"He's back," she whispered as that fact had finally settled back in. "He's back and I'm all out of ideas and if I'm not careful I may miscarry and I don't think i can handle this anymore." She started to cry again.

*Feeling Viv's nails tighten their grip on his back, he winced slightly, and shifted his own hold on her to lessen the pain. The wracking sobs didn't help either. It didn't matter though. Nothing mattered except this obviously in pain girl before him. It was obvious this was what she was at this moment in time. She needed psychological help and wasn't that what he was here for?*
"Vivian? Vivian, listen to me. He can't be back. I'm willing to bet quite a bit that every single one of those pieces you carved him into did not jump into his head overnight. It's all Zack. He's the one doing whatever he's doing.+ Did he try and peg this on Sands? What did he do Viv? I can't help if I don't know what got you into this mood. You wouldn't crack like this is it was only 'Sands'. You've gotta be strong, little girl. Be strong for yourself and for your little one.^"
+ Can you say, 'marital counseling'? Even if it really kind of is Sands?
^ Did we ever decide what it's gonna be or what it's name will be?

"Zack, wouldn't do to me what he just did." She said coldly. But then she let her insecurities get the better of her. "he couldn't" she whispered, more to herslef then to him.

*Roux was at a loss for words*
"Viv, what did he presumably not do?
