It'd been a couple days since it had happend and it seemed to be all I could think about. I wasn't really eating, sleeping, or talking to really anybody. I even skipped classes so I could try to fall asleep. It being the only time when I didn't have to think. Though usually ended up in me dreaming about her. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going really, I was just walking, like I normally did, when I came to the hallway where the Transfiguration room was. I stopped infront of the hallway and swallowed slightly, almost scared to go down it. I just stared at it, not sure if I wanted to go this direction or not.

Morgan never was really one to go to class on an everyday basis, but this week she was on a roll. She was on her way to the transfiguration room when she saw a familiar face in front of it. It was Riley, she hadn't seen him in a little while and she smiled when she seen him. Morgan quickened her pace a little as she walked towards him but the closer she got, she began to notice that something was different. Her smile fell when she noticed how sad Riley looked; slowing her pace she put a hand lightly on his shoulder when she reached him. "Hey..." She said softly, not wanting to startle him.

I pulled my attention away from the spot I was staring at in the hallway and saw Morgan. "Hey.." I said to her quietly, my expression not really changing much, trying to smile, but it just not showing much at all, glad to have someone there to distract me.

Morgan tried to pull off a smile, but something about the time being didn't feel right. She took note of his facial expression and thought to herself, 'somethings wrong, this isn't the Riley I know...' Morgan sighed slightly, "Riley...are you alright?" She asked, even though she was almost sure she already knew the answer.

I shook my head, ".. No." I said quietly when she asked me. Everything's wrong, none of this was supposed to happen. I thought to myself slightly angrily. "It's, uh, Riyann.." My voice cracking slighlty when I say her name.

'Oh no....that doesn't sound good. Morgan thought, not quite sure what to say. She had a hunch but hoped for the best answer to follow her next question. "...Is she okay?" She asked nervously, nawing on her lower lip.

I shake my head again, "... She... She's..." I tried to tell her she was dead, feeling another knot form in my throat and my eyes started to water again, knowing this wasn't helping Morgan at all in telling what was wrong, but I just couldn't say it.

Morgan's face saddened when she noticed his eyes starting to water. She knew exactly what he was trying to tell her, and wasn't going to make him say it. Well she was guessing. Morgan knew how happy he used to be and just assumed the worse for him to be like this. "Oh Riley...." She trailed off and didn't know what else to do but pull him into a hug. He was a good friend of hers and she hated seeing him this way. "If its what I think, Im sorry, Im so sorry." She whispered. "But, god I hope my assumption is wrong."

I shook my head slightly and hugged her tightly back, tears now spilling over my eyes silently. "She's gone.." I say silently just so she knows she was right in assuming what she did.

Morgan could feel her own eyes tearing up as she continued to hug Riley tightly. She shook her head and bit her lip when he had confirmed her assumption and that only made her hold him as tight as she could without holding him too tight to where he couldn't breathe. "Im so sorry..." She said softly. "You don't deserve this."

".. Thanks.." I say, it sounds kind of rough thankful for her being there right now, feeling good to hug someone finally, not knowing what else to say.

She could tell he was at a loss of words, but couldn't blame him. She couldn't even begin to imagine how he felt right now. A lone tear streamed down her cheek as so many things ran through her mind. All she wanted to do right now was be there for him. "Im not going anywhere." She assured him. "I promise. Anything you need." She wasn't sure whatelse to say, but hoped those words were good. She'd never delt with a situation like this before.

"Thanks Morgan" I say smiling ever so faintly, and then pulling away from the hug slowly, wiping the tears away from my eyes and off my cheeks. "It means a lot to me."

"Anytime." She told him as she slowly let go of him wiped her eyes with her sleeve. Morgan pulled off a faint smile but couldn't hold it longer then a few seconds. "Im glad, because your one of my bestfriends Riley, and seeing you like this kills me." She said quietly, looking at the ground then back up at him.

I wiped a few more tears away, "Thanks... I can't say I really like being like this." I say being a little more friendly than I have been the past couple days. "I don't want to make you upset though..." I shook my head slighlty.

Morgan sighed slightly and jammed her hands down into her pockets. "I can't even begin to imagine how you feel." She said in the same soft tone. "And its okay, its not you its...the situation I guess. Its kindof like I don't know how else to react, I've never delt with anything like this before." She explained

"Neither have I.." I say looking back down the hall for a second. "And that's okay... I wouldn't know what to react if I was you either.." I shook my head slightly, not being able to take my eyes off the hallway.

"Well, if I say something that doesn't come out right, don't take it the wrong way." She said, just so he knew. "Im still trying to make configure all of this, ya know?" Morgan said and noticed his focus was down the hall. She didn't know what to do or what to say really. "Do you wanna talk...about what happened?" After she said it, she bit her lip and shook her head. "Im sorry...wrong thing to say."

"I won't." I say hugging my arms slightly, taking my eyes off the spot I was watching, thinking about how Morgan really had no clue why I was looking there. Nothing could be as bad as what happend with Shell.. I thought to myself, shaking my head again. "Uh.. I-I don't know details.." I tell her shaking my head slightly, feeling another knot. "Don't be sorry.. I'd actually rather talk about it, than think about it.."

Morgan slowly walked a few steps over to the wall and slid down it, sitting on the floor. She brought her knee's to her chest, hugging them there with her arms. She looked over at Riley, even though he still really wasn't looking at her. "Come sit down." She said softly, "If you want that is." She added. "If you want to talk, Im here and more then willing to listen."

{okies  } I nodded slightly and slowly went over to sit down next to her, my eyes slightly glazed over, staring at the floor, sitting the same way Morgan was. ".. We.. we had our first kiss right over there.." I say initiating the conversation since she said she'd listen if I wanted to talk, and looking over to where I was staring before. "We also, turned everything in McGonanagol's office pink.." I added smiling slightly. |

Morgan nodded slowly, she now understood why he had been staring over in that direction. She was glad that he was willing to talk to her, she knew that some people after they lost someone got angry around people, even friends and didn't want to talk at all. "Sounds like that was a pretty good day." She smiles lightly, looking over at Riley even though he wasn't looking at her. She needed an idea, something to keep his mind off things for a little while but her mind was blank.

I smiled faintly and nodded, feeling another knot forming in my throat as I thought more about it, tears rolling down my face. I let out a shaky breath and wiped them off my face, leaning my head back on the wall and closing my eyes.

'Oh great, wrong choice of words Morgan! Make him think about it more...that was brilliant!' She thought, mentally slapping herself. She sighed and a frown formed on her face as it saddened. She put her hand on his shoulder and squeezed lightly, reminding him that she was there for him. Her gaze fell to the floor when she saw tears falling down his face again, it was breaking her to see him so hurt. "Riley..." She said softly, and paused, trying to think of the right words to say. "Its okay..." She said.
'Oh yeah, great choice of words again! Does anything look okay!?' She thought again, starting to get a little frustrated with herself that she couldn't ever say anything right.

I feel her hand on my shoulder and then shake my head slightly when she said it was okay, wiping my eyes again and looking over at her, "It's not okay.." I say shaking my head a little again, in a quiet voice. "Nothing's okay anymore.." I add, fidgeting with the end of my sleeve slightly. "But, thanks.." I tell her, trying to at least give her a small smile, I knew she was trying to help, she just didn't know what to say.

Morgan's gaze was still set on the floor, not until Riley said something did she slowly rise her gaze to meet his. "I know...I-" She started and opened her mouth to finish but quickly shut it. She figured no matter what she said, it was going to come out wrong again anyway. "Im so sorry...I wish I could make things okay for you, but I can't. I can't even get out a good choice of words." She said quietly, not really expecting herself to say anything.
She looked back down at the floor again. Her eyes getting wet with tears of frustration and sadness. Morgan let go of his shoulder slowly and wrapped her arm back around her knee's.

"..But thanks for trying.." I say quietly with a small shrug, then seeing her start crying and shake my head slightly, "Please don't start crying too... It'll make me cry more." I tell her with a sad chuckle, trying to be a little more pleasant around her. {did you heard about Heath Ledger?  } |

Morgan looked up from the floor and looked at him, a tear slipping and falling down her face before she could wipe it away. She wiped her eyes with her sleeve and nodded. "Anytime..." She trailed her voice cracking. She cleared her throat and wiped her face again, "Okay, Im going to stop, that's not good for you to cry more." Morgan smiles faintly at him. She could tell he was trying to show a little happiness, but also could tell how hard it was for him just to smile and she couldn't blame him. "Im supposed to be here to make you feel better, not worse." Morgan adds with a sad, small laugh.

"No, yeah, I don't think I've stopped since it happend.." I say shaking my head slightly, the smiled slipping away slightly, ".. I-It's okay... You're trying too.. You're lucky you didn't catch me yesterday.." I add thinking about my coversation, or more of fight with Shell. I was suprised I was actually getting out sentances right now.

"Which is expected...I mean I know how hard this whole thing is hitting you..." She trailed off in the same soft tone. "Actually I don't, but I have an idea." Morgan said and noticed as his smile slipped away. She couldn't help it when her faint smile fell too, "Yes, I am. And I won't ask about yesterday..." Morgan said, not pushing the matter.
{Ahh sorry crappy post, and I just realized I never commented on Heath Ledger. Yeah I heard, I never really knew who he was though, sad I know =/ but hey same thing as yesterday, I gotta go and Im not sure if I'll be back or not so if not I'll ttyt!}
