A/N - I decided to rewrite Love Rides because as I kept writing I realized it was horrible. And I wasn't really going in any clear direction, and then when the lighting struck I couldn't really work with what I had and had to re-write. Post a comment if you enjoyed it and want more of it. I've got about 30,000 words down but its not completely done (as of now), this might just become a working copy, so please suggest if you've got ideas/comments/crit.

Bella,
Aren't you just smashing. Don't feign innocence with me, Bella I know what you've been up to these past months, why you haven't replied to my letters, really replied. I've seen through your recycled stories. Fuck, half of them you stole from me, but I'd decided to overlook that because I figured that you were in the middle of another 'grand scheme'. Or that maybe you'd been ordered to stop letting me in on some of the more interesting parts of your duties.
No matter what you try to excuse yourself with, it won't do you any good. You can't see but I'm scowling at my parchment so the scratches of this quill with look up at you screaming my FUCK YOUS. I should have written a damned howler but that would have given us away.
How? Did you think I've changed? No, I still stand by what I told you that summer I spent in Paris two years ago. Do you remember what you said? When you took hold of my hand and looked me straight in the eye, and swore I just had a 'little crush', and no matter how strongly I felt about it, that 'your hands were tied' because you were always going to be too old for me.
Now I hear you're full on dating that Severus Snape? We're the same age Bella, in the same year. What have you got to say for yourself?
Fuck you,
Sirius
