Chapter Four: The Break In

Emily didn't leave her room for two days. She wallowed in misery and ignored all attempts to enter her room. The only human being allowed in was Lily Evans, and Emily told her to tell everyone nothing of how she was. She would rather people think she was ill than wallowing in her misery this way. She couldn't believe Sirius had done this to her during the summer where her parents worried about her.

On the third day, Sirius broke into her room, through her window while Lily was out on one of her mysterious jaunts into real society. He broke in and as soon as his feet hit the floor Emily knew who it was. She turned hostile brown eyes on him and hugged her pillow closer.

Sirius took her in a moment. She was wearing very short, violently purple shorts and a yellow tank top. Her brown hair was in a messy bun and she was looking at him like she would've liked to kill him right where he stood. "Emmy…" he said

"Don't call me that! Don't you call me that," Emily said looking closer to tears than he'd ever seen her.

"Emily, please?" Sirius said desperately. He'd never seen her this bad, before.

"Don't. Do you know what you do to me? Do you? I figure that no one does it to you. If they did you wouldn't ever dream of doing it to someone else," Emily said. "Sometimes I wonder if you do it on purpose to me."

"What?" Sirius asked not really following her.

"You! You convince me that I can trust you so that when you jump over the cliff, I think it's safe. And while we're falling together I toy with the idea of maybe being in love with you. Then when we reach the end of the safety rope you grab the end. You grab the end and you leave me to fall and crash to the bottom of the canyon alone. Do you know what it feels like to lie at the bottom of that canyon, walls all around, hurt and alone?" Emily asked tears rolling down her cheeks. She bravely continued, "If you would just wait until we got clear of those ropes… Sirius we could fly! I'm sure of it! But you don't ever give us a chance!"

Sirius was looking at her in utter shock. They could fly? What did she mean fly? Was flying how he felt that night in the park? They could fly couldn't they? "I wanna fly," he said.

Emily shook her head, "I don't think I can take this again, Sirius."

"But, Emily. Emily I can do it this time. I'm ready, I am. I promise!" Sirius begged. Now that he knew they could he wanted that. He wanted to fly.

"Sirius…" Emily said but she didn't know what else to say so she shut her mouth.

"It's Mike," Sirius said. "Now you have Mike. Mike's a fucking asshole!"

"Sirius, stop it! You don't even know him!" Emily said distressed.

"No because the only things he's ever done to me was call me a pussy, laugh at my best friend after Lily tore him apart again, and make-out with the girl I think I'm in love with!" Sirius yelled angrily.

Emily looked shocked. Both of them had offhand said they loved each other in the last fifteen minutes. But she wasn't excited, she was confused. "Sirius. What are you asking me then?"

"Ditch Mike, and give me a second chance."

Emily stared at him, "What?"

"Emily, why can't you do that?"

"Sirius, you can't ask me that! You can't ask me that. You can't just jerk me around like this. You're saying you can do it now but what about in a week. A month? Will you still want to?" Emily asked angrily.

Sirius's eyes were angry and hurt, "You never trust me!"

"I trusted you at the park! I trusted you at the park Sirius, and you ran the next day and told James not to tell me where you went! Do you want me to just be like "Oh OK whatever?" Well I can't Sirius. I CAN'T!" Emily yelled standing up and beginning to cry again.

Sirius headed back towards the window and as he put his foot on the sill he heard her say softly, "I don't want to be walled in and alone again, Sirius." He pretended he hadn't heard her and jumped from her window to the ground.

Emily threw herself back on bed and buried herself wishing that she would die.

AN: I was very sad writing this, and all I can say to you is: Keep The Faith.
