I sit on the edge of the astronomy tower just looking at the waning crescent. "Soon, I'm not gonna be a Crescent either." I say rhetorically to the moon, since the next phase was to be a new moon in a few short days.
Even shorter was the length of my status. I was to be married tomorrow in a church in front of my friends and family. I close my eyes and lean against the frame of the window. "Shelby Chou does have a nice ring doesn't it?" I ask no one in particular.

"Not in my opinion" He said from a shadow in the corner.
Chris had been sitting in their for a while.

I look over to where the voice was coming from noticing Chris. I sigh a bit. "How long have you been there?"

"Awhile" He said into the room. The sound echoed alittle bit.
"But you wouldnt notice that would you?" Chris snorted a bit

I sigh once more. "I was looking at the moon Chris. You should know I concentrate when I do." I say to him.

he muttered something to himself at such a low tone he knew Shelby wouldn't be able to hear it.

I look back over to him and sigh. I come down from the window sill and walk over to him, placing both hands on my 5 month pregnant stomach. Once I get up to him I just look him in the eyes, not saying a word.

"What?" He asked, not wanting to look at her. It wasn't something Chris could actually help though.. the minute he looked he was stuck.

"What's wrong?" I ask still looking at him. I knew that whatever I'd say wouldn't make him feel any better, but it was still worth a try.

"I've already told you Shelby" He said, forcing himself to look away from her.

"You didn't want me to get married." I say with a sigh. I hesitantly move his hands so I could sit on his lap.

Chris hesitated as he tightened his jaw. he wasn't sure he wanted her so close to him to not, and he let his hands sit limp on the ground. "Obviously"

"Well, he hasn't been home in weeks. I swear everytime I let someone in my heart..." I say feeling some tears form behind my eyes, but they don't fall.

I sigh a bit. "Chris... I did like that kiss by the way." I say softly, before I start standing up ever so slightly.

I nod simply as I finally stand all the way. It was harder for me to stand since I was crucioed so much lately, but I wasn't gonna tell him that.

Chris saw that Shelby was struggling to stand and he put his arms around her waist, pulling her down into his lap again.
"Sit love..." He whispered in her ear. He put his arms around her waist the rest of the way, so that his hands her touching eachother. "Your weak, and should rest"

"I'm fine." I say to him with a shrug. "After all, what's the fun of not feeling pain after being tortured?" I say rhetorically. I close my eyes a bit. Shelby, you have no control... My father's voice thundered through my head. I gasp slightly, but shake my head.
[[if you are wondering she is under the imperious curse by her father.]]

((And how did that happen?))
Chris looked at her when she gasped. "Shells?" he asked queitly.

"Nothing..." I say still with my eyes closed. "No one cares about me..." I mutter coldly.
[[She ran into her father and when they were fighting he used the imperious curse on her, when she was weak so she couldn't fight it.]]

Chris looked at her, rather confused.
"And how should I do that exactly?" He asked with a venon type tone.
Shelby was making him mad.. He would do something then she would complian. If he didn't do it, she complained.

"I don't know. Tell me, show me that you or someone does honestly care." I say looking to the ground instantly. "I... I lost the baby." I say trying not to cry over this again. I'd already cried for days, locking myself in my room doing nothing else.

Chris looked at her, and gently moved a piece of stray hair from her face.
"I'm sorry" he said before kissing her cheek lightly "But I'm not sure how to prove my feelings for you"

"There isn't anything I can do to help that"
