"Oh come now, none of that." He said sternly, seeing as how her eyes were getting all weepy again.

"Is mine now." He laughed as he shoved the whole thing into his mouth at once.

I sigh a bit, that sounded more of a grumble.

"Shelby, you see that whole bag of marshmallows?" He pointed to the back, "That's how many more we can make. RE-LAX." Draven chuckled.

Drave rolled his eyes and sighed, 'Goodness gracious... He laughed to himself, grabbing the bag and popping another marshmallow onto the poker.

He pushed the poker back toward the fire, rotating it as it toasted the marshmallow, "So what're we gonna do when this bag runs out?" Draven asked with a small laugh.

"I'm not sure. Usually I have about three bags." I say with a shrug.

"Well there's no way you or I are eating three bags of those things, no matter how addicting they are." Drave said to her, making it so that it wasn't a subject for argument, "I'd probably get sick. I'm not one to eat a lot of candy type things to begin with."

I simply nod my head, still watching the fire thinking.

Drave noticed she was in some sort of state, seeing as how she wasn't saying much, "Cha thinkin about?" He asked her offhandly, eyes directed at the turning poker in his hand.

I sigh and close my eyes. "Thinking how to tell Jay how Nick never signed the divorce papers and bounded us forever in marriage." I say as if it was nothing.

His head slowly turned to the left, looking at Shelby, "...Are, are you serious?" Draven asked, feeling as though his jaw completely unhinged from his mouth.

I simply nod. "I'm still techincally Shelby Henderson and I hate it." I say still with my eyes closed. "I don't know how to tell him. You didn't know Nick did you?" I ask him.

Drave really couldn't think of anything to respond to her first statement with. He shook his head simply, "No, all I knew was that he was your ex-husband."

"I thought he was dead for the past almost four years, and he decides not to write me and tell me that he was trying to help the family. He killed himself, right in front of Angel. That's the only reason why I know." my voice slowly getting softer and softer.

"Oh my god, Shelby.." Draven gasped, exasperated at what she was telling him. He set the poker down and moved toward her, putting a comforting arm around her shoulders. Drave didn't know what more he could say to her.

"I finally solve one problem, I get two more. I forgot to mention that a girl that I believed to be my friend for five years turns out to be a girl who used polyjuice potion to hurt me and the person she was portaying." I say leaning on his shoulder, trying not to cry.

"...That's just awful." Draven sighed, not really knowing how to respond to all this. It really hurt him to see one of his good friends in so much pain such as this.

"That's not even the start of my train of happiness." I say sarcastically. "I put on a happy face, so everyone assumes I'm happy." I say to him honestly. I wasn't afraid to admit that I knew my life was terrible, not the cheerfulness that everyone believed.

"Yeah, I actually know a lot of people who do that." Drave said to her reassuringly, making sure she knew she wasn't the first, and wouldn't be the last, person who had done that, "But what about Jay?" Draven asked her, "Aren't you happy with him?"

I smile lightly. "He's one of the few things that makes me happy. But it doesn't help when you add Chris Stammings admitting he loves me, Logan still in love with me, and this thing with Nick." I say leaving out the part of after he left astronomy class. "I don't love any of them, but Chris kissed me." I say to him.

Drave took all this is, contemplating it carefully, "Shelby, you don't have to react to any of that if you don't want to. If you don't love either of those guys, then don't worry about it. They should eventually come to see that you don't want to be with them." Draven explained to her, hoping that didn't seem like an easy alternative to anything.

I nod slightly. "Not to mention my father. Wants me and my mum to be reunited." I say slightly cold, unsure if he knew that she was dead because of him.

Draven hugged her tighter, "I might not be the best body guard around," He started, chuckling slightly under his breath, "But I'll do everything I can in my power to make sure he doesn't harm you."

I laugh a bit. "Sorry for that kiss." I say looking up at him, still resting my head on his shoulder.
