Cover up with make up in the mirror
Tell yourself it's never gonna happen again
You cry alone and then he swears he loves you.
Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?

Chapter Six

Caddie would never have realized how easy it was to fall for Marcus. He was so incredibly sweet and understanding. Their dates went well. Hogsmeade, some picnics and just hanging out in the Astronomy Tower. After they had been casually dating for about two weeks, Marcus asked her to be his girlfriend. Not hesitant at all, Caddie agreed. They were together in the Astronomy Tower. "What do you want to do after Hogwarts?" Caddie asked, strumming an E chord. "I want to be a dragon trainer or work for the Ministry" Marus replied thoughtfully, "How about you?". Caddie blushed. "I want to be an Auror but there really are not many girl Aurors yet so.." Caddie trailed off. "Thats good, your smart enough" Marcus grinned. "OK lets get back to guitar" Caddie said. She was teaching him how to play. Turned out, he had a guitar at home and his mum sent it to him.

James walked into the Gryffindor Common Room. "Lily said no again, nasty this time. She must be channaling Caddie" James said, looking at Sirius who was slumped in the armchair by the fire. "Why would she date a Hufflepuff, she's too smart for him" Sirius mumbled more to himself than to James. "Mate, get over it, you can have any other girl, you're Sirius Black!" James said. Sirius's head flopped onto his Potions book. "I can't get over her, god why do I even like her?" Sirius asked aloud. But in his head he said love.

Caddie and Marcus had been considered a couple for nearly two weeks now. But it wasn't all cookies and cream so much anymore. "Marcus, I have school work, can we go some other time?" Caddie said, knowing what was coming. "You never have time for me anymore, damnit Caddie!" Marcus yelled, grabbing her by the wrist and pulling her towards him. She pulled away. Marcus mustered all his strength and hit her in the face. Caddie silently started to cry as he repeatedly hit her and shoved her against the wall in the Astronomy Tower. Once a happy place, now Caddie hated. It was where Marcus hurt her. He hit, punched and clawed at her whenever she upset him, which was often. He grabbed her by the arm and spun her around, shoving her into the wall as he did so. "Next time, do your homework some other time" Marcus said, coldly. He stalked away. Caddie curled up and started to cry. She was sore all over, she could barely play guitar anymore, it hurt too much. She wanted to tell Sophia, Persephone, Lily, Rachele, anyone. Marcus threated her never to tell or else he would kill her. She missed her dad terribly. Caddie hated herself for all this. "God, if I only had time for him, he wouldn't get so mad, this is all my fault" she thought to herself. She sat up and grabbed her wand. Muttering the spell she had gotten so used to using, Caddie healed the blood wounds and mended her nose. There was not a spell she used for her eye, so she had to leave it, knowing her friends would ask questions.

Sirius was walking through the Astronomy Tower when he heard a loud bang and a cry of pain. He noticed a lone figure running past him. At closer inspection, he saw it was Caddie's boyfriend, Marcus Abbott. He rolled his eyes. "He probably just ran into a wall, the git" Sirius thought to himself. He walked back to the Common Room. "Lily turned me down again, she won't even hear me out anymore, she just walks away" James murmered, slumping in a chair next to Remus. "Maybe try a more subtle approach" Remus said, looking up from his book. James thought. "Good idea Moony but how?" James asked aloud looking at his friends. They all shrugged.

Caddie nursed her black eye with some Essence of Dittany, with a bit of Essecne of Murtlap too. The black eye was still as clear as ever. The dormitory opened to reveal Alli White, a fellow Ravenclaw who Caddie knew and liked but never really talked to. "Are you OK, that's some black eye, what did you do?" she asked Caddie, looking concerned. "I ran into a wall, if you see Sophia, Rachele or Persephone, could you tell them I went to bed early" Caddie muttered to the girl. "Sure OK" Alli said, looking somewhat surprised at Caddie's quick answer.

It was two days later and Caddie had gotten attacked again. Marcus was mad at her for not helping him with his assignment. Now after a brutal attack, Caddie was lying on the floor with a broken rib, she was sure, an even blacker eye and some miscellanous cuts, bruises and lots of blood. "I wish.." But she didn't finish, she blacked out.

Sorry this one was so short. It was kind of a hard chapter to write. This chapter is called Face Down by the Red JumpSuit Apparatus
