I nod. "I have that problem, but I never completely forget who I am or anything." I say knowing that probably made it worse.

"Yeah, but you only don't remember what happened while the curse is on you!" He said a little louder than he intended to, frowning at her, "I've forgotten everything Shelby, EVERY-THING! I don't remember what I did three weeks ago, or who my friends are, or my way around this place anymore!"

I close my eyes when he starts almost yelling. "I didn't mean it like that." I say still eyes closed. "At least you know my name?" I say weakly.

"Only because I've been told it at least a million times." He growled, letting his voice drop and calm himself down, "I know you don't mean it like that, but it's just hard not to be defensive over anything right now." Draven sighed, hanging his head, eyes locked with the floor of the bleachers.

I walk over and put a hand on his back gently rubbing it. "It's okay, you'll get your memory back somehow."

"I sure hope you're right." Draven sighed looking up and smiling weakly at Shelby.

"I'm always right." I say with a boarder smile, before lightly kissing him on the cheek. "I normally kiss people I'm close to on the check sorry." I say looking at him.

Draven laughed lightly, feeling his mood finally begin to lighten up, "I'm holding you to that." He grinned wider, referring to her 'I'm always right' statement. He shrugged his shoulders, chuckling lightly again, "'Tis okay, I suppose, if you kiss others who are you friends." A sheepish grin curling up his lips.

"What's with that grin?" I ask shoving him a bit.

"Whattt?" He replied, keeping the same grin on his face as he pushed her back. Draven was actually a little surprised that they were getting along as well as they were. Especially with that whole night outside...

I shove him a little harder. "Tell me!" I say with a laugh. Shelby was too surprised at how fast they seemed to get over the fact with the grounds as well.

"Tell you what?! I have no idea what you're talking about." Draven laughed and pushed her back again, nearly enough to move her along the bench.

"Hey! Tell me what's with that smile?" I say shoving him not as hard as before. "I need to act my age, I swear." I say shaking my head. "Or even acting as a professor."

"What about my smile?" He asked her, grinning the same grin again, chuckling under his breath, "Yeah, there you go. Take your own advice." Draven laughed.

"Never mind..." I say still curious. "And I can act however old I want." I say sticking out my tongue.

Draven laughed again, "Oh, because you sound like a twenty-one year-old professor." He teased her, putting the same, questioning grin on his face.

"Hmph." I say sticking out my tongue again. "I may be twenty one, but I feel like I'm sixteen or seventeen." I say to him. "I look it, when I don't have my kids trailing behind." I say remembering he probably didn't know that anymore.

"Hey, I got your age right!" Draven laughed, pretending like he was waving a flag, "How many kids do you have? You mentioned them earlier, when you were talking about playing for that one team..."

"I have nine?" I say smiling somewhat laughing. "I was expecting another, but..." I trail off.

Draven's jaw dropped slightly, "Wow..." He said with a bit of a laugh. Drave bit his lip slightly, "But what...?" He asked her, hoping he wasn't being too nosy.

"When all of my close friends were fighting a deatheater, he sorta killed it." I say with a frown, missing my plump stomach. Afterall, I was five months pregnant.

Drave frowned automatically, "S-sorry to hear that..." He trailed, not really knowing what to say now.

I shake my head. "I-It's fine." I say nodding quickly. "Perfectly fine..."

"Y... You sure?" He asked her, biting his lip. 'Wow, it's just one thing after another these days...'

I nod my head once more. "I have nine... what's the difference?" I lie, inside myself shocked that I even said that.

He blinked a few times. Even if he didn't know her that well anymore, that still didn't sound like something anyone would say. "Shelby, are you okay?" Draven asked her, biting on his lip still.

I shake my head. "No, I only have one actual son. I adopted the other two..." I say as I start to cry, which sounded more like sobing. "I'm sorry, you have no idea who I am, and I'm crying like this!"

Post by Draven Slayter on Jan 2, 2008 9:48:08 GMT
Draven put an arm around her, "Shelby, it's okay..." He told her, blurting out the first thing he could think of to tell her, "It's alright that you have two adopted sons, it isn't your fault what happened to the other one." He tried to reassure her, not knowing if those were exactly the best words to use.

"I still love my boys." Meaning, Isaiah, Justin and Dustin. "I just wanted another one..." I say leaning into his side, still crying.

He nodded his head and brought his arm tighter around Shelby, "I'm sure he'll always have a special place in your heart," Draven replied, referring to her unborn child, "But that doesn't mean that you can't move on."
