Disclaimer: I dont own any of these characters, dammit. Well, except for
Brittany O'Neil, cause I just created her out of nowhere, and my cousin
Brit will be happy, since she likes Sirius, too...
A/N: This is kinda sucky.... its my first attempt at not focusing so much on dialogue, but on descriptions and emotions instead... *shrug* Maybe someday I'll find a happy medium, if I'm lucky...oh, yeah, and this kinda flowed for me, cause its basically the exact same thing my stupid (ex) boyfriend did to me, recently. ^^;

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- "Moony!! MOONY!" Peter cried as he zoomed up the stairs to the boys dorm. For once, not tripping and landing on his face. The rounded boy flung open the door, panting wildly, eyes searching for any sign of his scholarly friend.
"Peter?! What is it this time?" Remus asked, throwing his legs over the side of his four-poster.
"Siri....Siri..." Peter panted.
"Sirius? What about him? Is he hurt? He was supposed to be at Quidditch practice...." Remus said, giving Peter a worried look. Just then, James came scrambling into the doorway behind Peter, nearly knocking him down in the process.
"Well?" Remus asked.
"We...we just met Sirius in the hall... with Brittany O'Neil.. He, uh, told me to give this to you." James said,looking pale and handing Remus a piece of parchment. Of course, being the 17 year old boys they were, James and Peter had already read the letter.
Remus, too, turned pale at the sight of the parchment,then asked, "What... what exactly was he doing.. with Brittany?"
Peter and James looked at one another, before staring at the floor.
"They were,uh...being friendly?" Peter whimpered.
"... more than friendly." James corrected.
Remus looked as if someone had just socked him in the stomach. He sat down on his bed, hands shaking as he attempted to open the note. When he finally unfolded it, he squeezed his eyes shut, as if in silent prayer, before reading,
"Remus, I hope you're alone when you're reading this, because knowing you, you'll cry. I think its time for us to face reality. We've been fighting a lot lately. You keep getting upset with me for petty reasons, and you're easily agitated. I cant speak my mind around you anymore, for fear that you will get upset. I really need a change of pace, and I think you do, too. Our relationship is getting boring, and it isnt good for either of us. We've both changed, Moony, and you know it. I still care about you, the same as I always have and will, but I cant stand it anymore. I'm sorry but I cant date you anymore.
Truly yours, Sirius."
By the time Remus had reached the end of the letter, his eyes were so full of tears that he could barely make out the last line. He stared at the parchment for another moment, before letting his eyelids fall closed, and allowing the first actual tear drops to fall. Remus fell backwards onto the bed, biting his lip in a vain attempt to staunch the flow of salt water from his eyes. Through this entire process, James and Peter stood by warily, eyeing Remus and one another, debating what action to take. Finally, James broke through the invisible barricade of silence, and walked over to Remus' bed, whispering,
"Moony...." as he sat. The griefstricken boy on the matress gazed up at him with watery eyes, before throwing himself into the bespectacled boys lap, now letting his wrenching sobs come more easily. Peter looked uneasy, but waddled over to sit on Remus' other side.
"Moony...I'm sorry... I really am.." James confessed. Remus chose not to acknowledge it, though, and continued sobbing curled up in James' lap. James began to stroke Remus' soft brown hair in attempt to soothe him. Peter reached out and laid a hand on Remus' bony shoulder, while Remus just lay there with his remaining two best friends.

Um, well, thats it, I think I made the whole ordeal seem like Remus' fault, but its not, really. You'll see, in upcoming chapters.... if people enjoy this, that is.... Reviews and constructive criticism always welcome!
