It had been a stressful few days. There had been the party in the staff room, which she couldn't, truthfully, remember much of, then the Potions Master, Braeden Andrews, was attacked, then Lareina and Emerald - Adeline's sisters - arrived out of the blue, bringing with them bad memory after bad memory, and then she discovered all of her best crystal saved for balls and special dinners smashed.
It was just too much.
Adeline ad given up on her ball planning when she had suddenly lost her temper, throwing all the measurements and plans away from her. The white pieces of parchment fluttered around the room delicately before settling on the floor. She had almost cried then, knowing that she would have to gather them all together and organize them again, and left the office, slamming the door behind her.
She had gone down to the garden then, wearing just a skirt, pink spaghetti-strap top and sandals and desperately wanting some cool fresh air. So there Adeline could be found, sitting on the damp marble edge of the fountain, gradually getting wetter and wetter as the drops hit her clothes and hair. After just sitting for a while, she went to get up, and found that there was a wet patch on the back of her skirt.
It must have been the straw that broke the camel's back, because she collapsed back onto the marble, damp head in her hands, body wracked with sobs. She didn't know why, but her heart was really hurting. She hadn't cried in a very long time, and now that she was... she didn't even think to hope that no one would find her.
