Sloane knew this hard, it had taken her weeks to finalize her answer, and she'd expected him to push back some, but not this hard. Truthfully, at this point, she didn't know where they stood in any aspect of their lives, but she was starting to think after going so long without talking about it, maybe he would have been glad to be rid of her...

She had a retort on the tip of her tongue, this doesn't have anything to do with you. Was what almost came tumbling out, but that was neither true nor helpful at the moment. She could tell he was upset by this, further evidenced by what he said and the tone of his voice, but Sloane had no idea if they were still taking quidditch or not anymore. His mention of her career suggested as much, but everything before that, not so much.

Tears threatened to spill out as she took a deep breath to keep them back. "Its not you, everything is just so overwhelming," Her voice caught and she paused. Which is why she had been sort of hiding behind friends lately. The whole big situation was draining her, she needed to collect herself completely before dealing with it head on. Hatch was right, she wasn't responsible for anyone elses feelings or actions, but it didn't get rid of the guilt.

"I'm distracted and it cost us the last match. It's not fair to everyone else." She said finally, barely above a whisper as she looked back down at the grass, eyes closed tight to keep the tears from falling.
