Truth

[Madeline Speare]

I walked into the prefect's bathroom, I wasnt a prefect myself but Rem was, I got the password from him. I looked around it was huge. "Whoa," I sat down at the edge of the bath, I loved being by the water, it helped me clear my head.

[Isabella Knox]

I walk into the prefects bathroom, also wanting to clear my head.
I stopped dead as i saw Maddie already sitting there.

[Madeline Speare]

I hear someone walk in I turn and see its Bella. I loose my balance and fall into the tub.

[Isabella Knox]

She falls in and i rush over to help her "Are you okay?" I mumble.

[Madeline Speare]

I resurface and grab her hand,"Yeah," I say not looking at her, She pulls me out and I cast a drying spell."Clumsy me," I say quietly

[Isabella Knox]

I nod and look at the floor, no really knowing what to say.

[Madeline Speare]

I dry off my hair twirling it around my fingers. I didnt know what to say, what was i suppose to say? oh sorry I like your ex but since your not dating can I have him? no, I couldn't do that, not to Bella.

[Isabella Knox]

"How long have you liked him for?" I mumble, hoping she knew who i was talking about.

[Madeline Speare]

I looked up at her,"Since first year,"

[Isabella Knox]

"Really? Why didn't you do anything about it?" I ask.

[Madeline Speare]

I shrugged,"I-I dunno, I guess I was scared of rejection." I pushed my bangs back,"Besides, he loves you,"

occ-we're talkn bout sirius right? lol

[Madeline Speare]

"He'd never want someone like me,"

[Isabella Knox]

I sigh "He doesn't love me. He'll realise that soon." I say truthfully "Why wouldn't he like you?" I ask

[Madeline Speare]

"I'm too loud, too blonde, too fat, too annoying, too pale, too...too plain," I say

[Isabella Knox]

I tut "You're not fat, you're not annoying and you're not plain." I say honestly. "He likes loud, he likes blonde and he likes pale." I finish

[Madeline Speare]

"Your not, blonde or loud or pale," I point out,"and he likes you."

[Isabella Knox]

"He'll get over me soon enough though." I sigh "He'll move on."

[Madeline Speare]

I sat by the water again, playing with the buttons on my sweater, it was odd that I was wearing a sweater seeing as it was quite warm.

[Madeline Speare]

"Bella?" I whisper.

[Isabella Knox]

"Yeah." I say.

[Madeline Speare]

"We're friends right?"

[Isabella Knox]

I smile slightly "If you still want to be my friend."

[Madeline Speare]

"You'll always be my friend, no matter what right?" i ask sounding so much like a three year old. I was still playing with the buttons on my sweater.

[Isabella Knox]

I smile "That's good." I pause "I don't mind you know......if you like him." I say talking about Sirius again.

[Madeline Speare]

"I'm not talking about that Bella," I said rolling up my sleeve, "I"m talking about this," I said showing her my left arm, the one where the dark mark was.

[Isabella Knox]

I took a step back shocked "Why?" I ask quietly.

[Madeline Speare]

I push my sleeve down and start crying, "I-I..." I was sobbing so hard my body was shaking. "I didnt want this."

[Isabella Knox]

I hesitate slightly before walking over and hugging her. "How did it happen?"

[Madeline Speare]

I try to stop crying,"M-Malfoy,"

[Isabella Knox]

MY fists clench at the name.
