I sit on a stump in the middle of the forest. I knew that I shouldn't have been out here, thinking of all the deatheaters that could attack me at any second. Currently though, I didn't care. I lost my husband's trust, I'm in love with a few people, Cousins were dying, and I just had a fight with Riley.
I sigh and kick the stump slightly, out of anger and frustation. "Maybe I should move back to London. Just work as an astronomer, or even just as a teacher there." I say, closing my eyes, placing my face into my hands at the same time.

I was in the forest walking around, not really caring much about who else could've been wondering around. I thought I heard Shell and walked a little further in, following where I heard her voice. I saw her and stopped where I was, not really wanting to get any closer to her, and just looked at her, not saying anything.

I hear footsteps getting close to me. I instantly draw my wand and look around, still not seeing anyone. "Where are you?" I say bitterly.

"It's just me Shell." I say seeing that she drew her wand, "Thought you could see me." I add walking a little closer to her.

I sigh, realizing the voice. Riley. "What are you doing out here?" I ask sligtly cold, remembering our fight.

"Walking.." I say, slightly taken aback from the tone i her voice. "What about you?"

"Thinking of everything. Can you love two people at once?" I ask him. "I knew we were fighting but I had to ask him.

"Uh, Y-yeah, I think it's possible.." I say nodding my head slightly, walking a little closer to her.

I shruged slightly, "I don't know... just happens sometimes.." I say quietly, leaning against a tree a few feet away from her.

I simply nod. "I'm in love with three though I think. Kyra, Ian and Jay." I say to him, now letting a couple tears escape from my eyes.

"I'm.. sorry.." I say quietly, shaking my head faintly, not knowing what to tell her.

"And I'm pregnant, with Ian's kid." I say looking up at him, tears streaming down my face.

Surprised by what she just said, I couldn't help but have some sympathy for her. I walked over to her and sat down next to her. "It's gonna be okay" I say quietly, giving her a hug, even though I was still angry with her.

"No it's not Riley. I'm in love with three people, having a baby with Ian, Jay almost left me, and we're fighting." I say leaning on his shoulder.

I sigh slightly, deciding not to argue with her, knowing it would get me nowhere. "I-I don't know what to say.."

I sigh. "As usual. You never do... any questions or anything?" I ask looking up at him.

"Look. I've only thought I've loved two people once. And turned out I only loved one of them." I said sounding slightly bitter and then shaking my head slightly, "Why would I have questions?"

"I meant about our fight Riley, not about my personal life." I say just as bitterly. Not that you care anyway...

"Sorry, s'what it sounded like." I mumbled slighty and shrugged. "... Did you really mean what you said to me?" I asked her after a few moments.

"We said a lot of things Riley. What part?" I ask, raising my eyebrows.

"That you didn't care if I drowned in the lake or not.." I say quietly.

"Of course I didn't mean it Riley." I say with a sigh.

Sounded like you did.. I thought to myself, still frowning and then nodding my head slightly, not saying anything.

"Really. I would never want that to happen Riley. I should have stayed in that lake when I made that comment about Riyann." I say to him softly.

I shake my head faintly, "That would've defeated the point of me jumping in after you, you know. I don't want you dead Shell. Even if what you said was horrible."

"The same for you as well." I say with a weak smile to him. "I wouldn't know what to do without you, Briar, Cassy, Ian, Kyra, Logan, Andra, Fitzy, Draven and Jay." I say to him. "You guys are my rocks. I would be scared and defendless without all of you."

I tried to smile at her and only a faint one came through, "Well, we're not leaving.." I shrugged slightly.

"Good. I would never be able to survive Riley. You know that the dark lord is after me personally." I say to him, leaning into his chest a bit.

I nod my head faintly and hesitently put my arm around her. "Y-you'll be fine."
