I stand at the end of Hogsmeade highstreet, waiting.
Row said she was going to say goodbye to a few people.
Will had to get a few things together.
Then they'd be here and we could leave and start again, properly this time.
I knew it'd be better to just go off on my own, but I didn't really feel like being alone right now. And Will had offered. Then decided he couldn't bear to leave Row behind and talked her into coming as well.
I take a cigarette out of my pocket and light up. I'd been quitting for her in the first place and now there was no point.
Now, just had to wait.
Then I'd be out of this place for good.

I bite my lip, not sure why I was even here.
I had no reason to be here.
He wanted nothing to do with me, and I knew that.
So why are you here?
I don't know...
You love him...just tap him, tap him and say your sorry.
I can't. I'm scared.
Tap him!
I open my mouth, then close it again, turning back around.
You walk away you'll regret it..

"You walk away and you'll regret it," I remark, not turning around, "Always works like that. Even if you just want to shout at me, you'll regret not doing it."

"I'm not gonna shout." I whisper quietly."Don't say anything okay, just let me talk." I bite my lip, looking down at the ground,"I'm sorry. I never meant to say and you have every right to hate me, I would if I were you. I'm not telling you to stay and I'm not telling you to go. I just need to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I let Logan get to me like that, that I took his word over yours it's just...I felt like I needed someone to blame...and I'm sorry that it had to be you...I know now you didn't do it...I just needed to say I was sorry. Sorry that I hurt you, I never meant to do that, but I did and I regret it. There's no taking back what I said and there's no excuse for it. I'm sorry." I say turning back around.

I close my eyes.
You're not even pissed off anymore and you know it. You're using it as an excuse and you know it. And you know it's wrong.
"Maddie-...don't. Don't walk away, please."

I stand where I am, eyes fixed on the floor.
I will never forgive you...that's what he's gonna say...

"I get it. I would have believed Logan too. I know his story makes complete sense considering how little I've actually told you about-...about before. It's fine."

"It's not, I feel terrible, worse then I ever have. Didn't trust myself by any windows, or water, nearly drowned the other day, the upside I taught myself to swim." I smile weakly,"I just need to let you that, I'm sorry."

I nod,"Take care of yourself okay? You, Will and Angel. Look after Row for me, don't let anything happen to her."

I nod wordlessly, not all together sure if I could leave anymore.

Angel walked slowly up to the two. "This a bad time?" She asked, biting her lip softly.

I look over at Angel,"No, I got to be heading off myself, promised Yumi I'd deliver something to Irleland for her." I smile weakly looking back at Ian,"Take care. You got the mirror if you ever need to talk to me."
