Just when things were getting easy again.
Just when I was settling in.
Just when I'm trying to start again.
Everything has to fuck itself up.
No, you have to fuck everything up, Ian.
I sat on the ledge looking out at the grounds.
Erin or Maddie?
The past or the present?
This has to be right up there with some of the worst situations I've ever been in.
And that was saying something alright.

I walked up the Astronomy tower staps, going to do my usual star gazing.
I opened the door and saw Ian by the window.
I didn't know him that well, but he definately didn't look very happy.
I walked up to him slowly, so as not to make him jump.
"Hey Ian." I say softly.

I turn round briefly then glance out at the grounds again. "Hey."

"I would ask if you were alright like people usualy do, but i can tell you're not. What's up?" I ask him.

"You know when things kind of...slow down. And then loads of things just happen at once? Yeah, that's happening." I say miserably.

I nod, understanding what he meant. "So what's happend?"

"Same thing that happened to you." I say, referring to what Gid had told me about how he'd come back from the 'dead' and she'd already moved on.

'So it was Erin in Flourish and Blotts, i knew i reconised her name from somewhere.' I thought to myself. "So Erin didn't die then." I say, stating the obvious.

"Are you glad she's back?"

"Very. I'm-...I'm very glad she's back."

"But it was a bad time."

"The worst." I sigh.

"And now you're stuck between the past and present." I say, understanding exactly how he felt.

"That's exactly it."

"And you have no idea who to choose, because either way someone's gonna get hurt." I sigh.

"Yeah," I say softly. "It's-...when I'm with Maddie, I know I want to be with her. But then I'm with Erin, and I wonder how I could have ever considered picking Maddie because I love Erin. And then I'm with Maddie again and I think that I love her as well. And whoever I pick, it's going to end up being the wrong one. I don't understand what I'm supposed to do."

"Who can you see having the best future with?" I ask him. Molly had asked me the same question, and it had helped me choose.

"Well, Maddie and I fight more than I fight with Erin." I say unhelpfully, not really wanting to think about the answer to the question.

"So you don't argue with Erin as much as you do with Maddie."

I shake my head. "I suppose that doesn't really mean anything though."

Post by Isabella Knox on Jun 14, 2007 19:40:06 GMT
"Not really." I agree, unhelpfully.

I turn sideways, leaning against the wall, then grin almost sadly. "So basically, I'm fucked, right?"

"That's what i used to think." I reply.

"He did." I say, referring to Gid. "And Ricky wasn't around much anymore." I sigh. "I guess things just got easier."

"But Maddie and Erin are both around, always."

"And you can't keep them waiting. Have you spoken to both of them seperately?"

Post by Ian Hunt on Jun 20, 2007 18:50:18 GMT
"Yes." I say, "I've spoken to them both seperately."

"Has that got you anywhere?"
