It was late at night and once again, I couldn't sleep. It'd been like this for a past couple nights, ever since Riyann died. I wake up everynight from a nightmare and can't get back to sleep. Deciding to not even try to get back to sleep tonight I walked down to the kitchens, walking in and leaving most of the lights off, leaving it dim in the kitchens instead. I made a cup a tea and sat down at the table, holding the mug in my hands. I looked in it, not really drinking it and wondering why I made it in the first place. I sighed slightly and looked around the kitchen, trying not to think.

I walk down to the kitchens with a smile as usual, wanting a bedtime snack after studying in the girl's dorms. I notice that the lights were on, but very dim. "Is anyone in here?" I ask drawing my wand slowly, just in case.

I looked up slightly from my tea when I heard Ainsley's voice and nodded even though she couldn't see me, "It's just me Ains." I say to her tiredly, thinking she'd recongnise my voice.

"Oh, hey Riley!" she says with a bright smile. She still had a major crush on him, but she knew that he was engaged. "How are you?"

I shake my head slightly, "Not good." I say looking away from her and back down at my tea, finially taking a sip of it.

"Aww... that's not good." she says with a frown. She walks to a fridge and takes out a bowl of strawberries. "Wanna talk about it?'

I give her an odd look and then shrug slightly, guessing she hadn't heard about it yet, and wondering why it was always me that had to tell people this. "It's, uh.. It's R-riyann.." I say another knot forming in my throat. Not wanting to cry anymore but having a feeling I would be eventually, staring into my mug again.

"Oh..." she says remembering what she heard in her Astronomy class, why Shelly couldn't teach today. "I'm sorry Riley..." she says hugging him.

"T-thanks." I say quietly, frowning and letting her hug me, hugging her back slightly after I set down my mug.

"I'm sorry?" I say softly, realising that he probably didn't want to be touched.

"It's okay.. You're allowed to hug me.." I say quietly ebfore picking my mug back up and taking another drink of my tea.

"Riley. She wouldn't want you to be sad like this..." I say with a frown. "Can I have a sip?'

"I know... It's just hard not to be.." I say quietly and then nodding my head a bit, pushing my mug toward her.

"Thanks." I say softly, taking a sip. I walk over and sit on his lap. "She wants you to be happy. Trust me. Even if that means getting over her."

Slightly taken aback when she sat on my lap I blinked a couple times and shook my head slightly, "Ainsley, what're doing?" I asked her, finding this kind of uncomfortable.

"There's no other chairs." I say innocently, taking another sip.

"Um.. Why don't you take this chair and I'll stand.." I say offering her the seat.

"Fine then." She says letting him stand up. Once he gets up she asks, "Riley?"

"Yeah?" I asked her quietly looking over to her, leaning against the counter, shaking some hair out of my eyes.

I walk over and brush his hair out from his eyes. "This." I stand on my toes and kiss him lightly on the lips.

I saw her walking closer to me and then as she brushed some hair out of my eyes, I wondered what she was doing. I raised my eyebrows slightly when she kissed me and before I knew it, I had kissed her back, before really thinking about it.

She smiles lightly, putting her hands on either side of the counter where he was standing, still kissing him, but a tad deeper.

Realising what I doing, I pulled away and shook my head slightly, "I can't do this."

"I'm still in love with Riyann." I say answering her. "It's only been a few days Ainsley, this isn't.. no."

"Fine then. Be in love with a dead girl. She would want you to move on. If you keep feeling sorrow, that would never happen and won't make her happy being miserable."
