Betta didn't say anything to Nina's words, still feeling hurt and insulted. "I think we're done talking about this." She said cooly instead. What would dragging Bryce into the middle of this possible achieve? Nothing she was sure, except for a fight and hurt feelings. She didn't understand why they were all acting like this. She knew she didn't fit in with this little close knit group, but now she felt like an outsider more than ever. She really wished Ian was here to talk to.

((Eugh, why are you so stubborn and mule headed?!))

"Betta...." Nina started, blocking her way to the door, "no. We're not done. Get over yourself for five minutes and see we are trying to help you. We are trying to involve you, include you, make you feel welcomed yet all you do is push us all away. Including Bryce. Realize we are not all out to get you. Yes you're new and yes we are all very close...why can't you see that we are trying to help you?!" She very nearly demanded. She felt her stomach lurch a little; this was too much stress and frankly she was hurt. Why wouldn't Betta see what was in front of her? Nina knew the toll holding a huge secret took. Hell she was doing it now. Like anything she wanted to tell him. It was killing her but it never seemed right.

Betta's frown deepened as Nina kept her from entering. Her words finally seemed to sink in a little, she still held back though. "Maybe you should take your own advice and not keep secrets." She said instead, her gift kicking in. She looked away, wanting to go in and drop the conversation, but she wasn't going to shove through Nina to do it. She remembered the other day where they all went out for a girls day. That day seemed like centuries ago. "I just don't want to talk about it okay? It's my problem and I can take care of it myself. I'm the one fucked up in the head." She gave a wry, bitter twist of her lips. "Why can't you see that involving Bryce would only upset him?"

Nina blushed deeply but didn't move, "If you haven't noticed we haven't exactly had a moment to ourselves in the past week...." she told the other girl honestly. Besides, hers wasn't some petty jealousy. "And why can't you see that you not telling him is hurting him as well?" She shot back, but her voice was still that same gentleness. "I understand not wanting to talk about it...but you have to understand it doesn't just involve you." She added before finally opening the door and walking back inside. Kai and Bryce were still in the stall but now choked laughter could be heard instead of tears. Lily was curled up beside Adelle munching on cookies. Nina herself looked alright, but she was rubbing her stomach a little. This corset not helping the almost healed bruises or her nausea. She gave Devin a small smile, trying to keep a brave face for the kids.

Betta just looked at Nina. "Yea, I can tell you really like me. Petty jealousies and all, huh? I understand you're worried about Bryce, but I'll take care of it. After all, I'm the bad guy in all of this. All of you don't need to worry. I'll talk to him about it, so you can all relax." She told her as she followed her inside. It was why she had always had problems making friends. She didn't have great control over her gift, and things like that always hurt her. She learned to ignore it for the most part, but when she had people claiming to want to be her friend and help her then had thoughts like that, it made her hard to open up with them. It's why Bryce scared her so much. She had no clue what he really thought of her. Besides Ian, he was the only other person she had ever opened up to.

Devin looked up as the girls walked in, watching them curiously. They looked fine, but he knew they to have talked about something out there. He saw his girl rubbing her stomach, and he walked over and wrapped his arm around her. "You alright, Sparky?" He asked quiety as he pressed a kiss to the top of her head.

Betta's words had really stung, not used to people outside of her friends being able to read what she was thinking. She hadn't meant it like that...but she knew Betta was in no mood to listen to her anymore. She looked up at Devin with a small smile and a shrug, "I'm okay...just need to readjust to corsets is all..." she told him softly. With no makeup one could see the light bags under her eyes from lack of sleep over the last few days. She looked over to Kai's to-be wedding gown and her smile grew a little. Her friend was going to look amazing.

Devin nodded as he kissed her cheek. His thumb brushed over the light bags as he wrapped his arm around her waist. "Her dress is very beautiful." He said. "I may be an oblivious guy, but I noticed that even." He said. "You excited to see your parents and brothers?" He asked her with a smile. He wanted to ask her what her and Betta talked about, but it wasn't any of his business.

Nina smiled as she nodded, "It is...." she said softly, knowing hers would look completely different. She looked back to him with a soft laugh, "Yeah I really am excited..." she admitted with a smile, kissing his cheek lightly. "You ready to run interference?" She teased him softly, glancing to Betta warily before looking back to Devin and leaned against him. Her talk with Betta had really tired her, but it had been needed. She just hoped she hadn't screwed up her own friendship with the girl....

Devin chuckled as he gave her a grin and a nod. "I'm ready. I'm just waiting on you to give the word." He teased her with a grin. As she leaned against him, he kissed her cheek as he rubbed her arm soothingly. He saw the look she gave Betta as the Italian girl busied herself with checking out items around the store. Apparently, there was something going on that he was unaware of.

((Don't mind me as I steal over half of your pins....))

Nina went to answer when Kai and Bryce finally emerged from the stall. Kai laughed softly, wiping her eyes even though they were dry. She looked over at Betta, immediately feeling a bit off with Bryce's arm around her. "You okay, Ying...?" He asked her gently, feeling her tense a little bit.

Kai looked up with a smile, "I'm fine, Yang...promise..." She kissed his cheek sweetly in thanks before walking over to look over the dress with Linnea at a closer range. It was really a gorgeous piece of work. She ran her hand over the beadwork with a light laugh. Kyler was going to have a heart attack.

Bryce walked over to his girl with a smile, wrapping his arms around her from behind and kissing her neck lazily. "Sorry about that..." He murmured gently, "Find anything else you liked?" He asked her, watching as she looked through the clothing.

Nina gave a small nod, looking to Devin then, "Yeah...I'm ready to go..." She mentally gave her goodbyes to the others, figuring Betta wanted nothing to do with her. She smiled, kissing Lily on top of the head and kissed Adelle lightly on the cheek. "We'll see you later at Gwayne's..." She said sweetly, knowing if anyone could get the shy falcon girl to open up it would be Shang and Cristol...
