Chapter Fourteen

Dude, You Broke My Best Friend's Heart

Oh my, my head was pounding. I don't want to open my eyes, no, no! Don't you dare even think about op...Too late. The light was too bright and my bed was too warm. I wished someone would get up and make the sun leave. There's arms around me, please tell me I know those arms.

"Morning," he mumbled. I turned around to come nose to nose with Sirius Black.

"Oh Sirius I think we've drank my house," I pouted.

"You can come and live with me," he smiled with his eyes still shut.

"Get up," I said.

"Why?"

"Because if I have to suffer you have to suffer."

"That's sound logic," he yawned opening his eyes then he grinned.

"What?" I asked knowing it couldn't be good.

"How do you feel?"

"I'm struggling," I half laughed.

"I mean how do you feel Girlfriend-of-Sirius-Black?" he asked.

"Mm, is that what people are going to call me because I'm not so sure I like it," I teased. He kissed my lips softly and I nuzzled into his neck.

"I lied. I love it," I whispered.

"Paige, Paige!" I heard someone shout. I grumbled then the door was opened clumsily.

"Paige, I'm dying, the room is spinning, I need breakfast. I need breakfast now!" Skye said throwing herself between me and Sirius.

"Well, I can't say I'm going to object," Sirius winked cheekily.

"Shut up you filthy dog," Skye giggled, "Honestly though, feed me!"

"Fine!" I moaned. Can't a girl get a lie in, ever?

"Come on," she said piping up and pulling at my arm.

"I will never have children and you are the reason why," I shot at her. She just laughed and headed out and onward to the kitchen.

"I'm right behind you," Sirius said still sprawled in my bed, the lucky whatsit.

"See you down there," I smirked, "Boyfriend."

"You had bacon so I've just started making it all," James said as I came into the kitchen. It was a beautiful sight; there he was in my mother's apron cooking bacon.

"You can make me breakfast whenever you like," I grinned while taking a seat at the table with Skye.

"James' the best," she grinned.

"That's what they call me," he laughed.

"Morning Lily," I said coyly grinning at her mad, red mane of hair.

"Don't," she smiled taking a seat too.

"Rawr," I winked. Then there was a thick silence as Remus walked into the room pulling his t-shirt over his rather nice, lightly defined abs. I swear, you could have cut the tension with a knife as his and Skye's eyes met for a split second. All this was dissolved as Sirius came bounding into the room.

"Looking good Jamesy Boy," he cat called. Remus sat down and it was like the whole thing had never happened. However, I noticed Skye bite down on her lip a little too hard as James began to dish out breakfast.

"How, how are you so cheery?" I demanded.

"I can handle myself Sugar," James laughed.

"You're not human," I laughed. Then I stopped talking and put all my energy into inhaling my breakfast. I would surely regret it later but you only live once right? After we'd all wolfed down breakfast everyone kind of lazed into the living room and found somewhere to lie down and watch t.v. I couldn't bring myself to look at the mess around me so I just removed some party streamers from the fridge and continued to get the milk for a much needed coffee.

"Hey missy," Lily said sitting on one of the kitchen seats.

"Hey, you want a drink?" I asked she laughed, "Coffee." I tutted.

"Yes that would be perfect," she smiled. I noted that the door to the living room was shut as I placed her mug in front of her and sat down.

"Lily what is it going to be like when we're back in school?" I asked talking about Remus and Skye. She sighed.

"I don't know, it's so complicated. I know he hates himself, I know he thinks he needs to be punished and can't have her but he's wrong. He's hurting her more now than any stupid scratch could. I think Skye's all cried out now, she's not going to fight anymore, she's just too tired," she explained with an air of sadness.

"It sounds stupid but I just thought they were like It, y'know?" I said quietly.

"Yeah, I know," she said softly. We sat in silence for a bit. It was too much of a change; I mean the Skye I knew was bubbly and practically fainted whenever Remy looked like her. She was so smitten and cute and now Remus had made her a cold-hearted, closed off, broken girl. Why? Why couldn't he just realise he was making a mistake, a huge mistake!

"Sirius asked me to be his girlfriend," I said suddenly.

"What? Seriously?" she asked, I held back a giggle. I nodded. She was all wide eyed.

"Wow, well, yeah, wow! What did you say? You said yes, obviously but...ah, there's a but," she nodded wisely.

"Yes, correct as always. I mean, yes I said yes and I love him. I do love him and I know he loves me but I don't know. I know I wanted to be his girlfriend, be his one and only but now it's happened I'm just like whoa, I need to breathe because I know Sirius. I know him and he doesn't have one and onlys. I mean, I trust him, I do but I'm just scared I guess. That it's getting real, that it might not work, I'm going crazy," I rambled. She smiled sympathetically.

"Well, from what I gather from your very well constructed explanation, you love Sirius and you want to be with him, yes?" she asked.

"Yes."

"But you're a little scared that he's actually said he wants that too, yes?"

"Yes."

"And yes he is-was- the biggest player in the world but now he has you. You just have to relax and take it as it comes because you know deep down that you don't want to live without him," she said looking down at the table as she said the last part. Interesting.

"Relax, right why didn't I think of that?" I smiled.

"Because you have me to think it for you," she giggled.

"What would I do without you," I said fondly as she beamed, "So Miss. Head Girl, how much time do you spend with Mr. Head Boy over a course of a year?" Bingo, her face twisted.

"Too much time," she quipped.

"Okay so what's going on? You hate him, you like him, you love him, you hate him?" I said counting each thing on my finger.

"I do not love...," she drifted off, "I'm not of sound mind."

"Of course," I smirked.

"I hate when you do that."

"What?"

"Smirk in that smirky, know-it-all way."

"You love when I smirk in that smirky, know-it-all way because you know I'm right."

"I have to spend a lot of time with him and I guess I'm freaking out," she confessed.

"You don't know how to feel?" I said.

"No, I mean he's still a twat," she said, "But...I kissed that twat. That twat was so sweet to me that night before summer, that twat is acting ridiculously un-twatish these days and it's sending me off the edge." I tried not to laugh, honestly but I couldn't help it and neither could she.

"We are truly insane," I smiled.

"At least we can agree on that," she giggled.

"Oh gosh, I can't believe this is our last year," I sighed.

"I know, so we have to make it the best one," she grinned.

"Definitely, no regrets, no excuses, let's just have the time of our lives," I said.

"Agreed," she grinned linking pinkies with me.

"Solemnly swear," I teased.

"Promise."

"Paige! Lily!" shouts came from the living room.

"How much do you want to bet they can't reach the remote?" Lily said rolling her eyes. We pushed through into the living room.

"Paige, the remote, it's so far," Skye said stretching toward the remote which she would have been able to reach if she'd simply sat up.

"Lazy," I quipped picking up the remote and tossing it gently at her. It was then I noticed Remus quietly and discreetly get up and leave the room. I let curiosity over come me and followed him out. He was swift! I scrambled up the stairs and felt a bit dizzy afterwards.

"Remus," I said trying not to pant from moving too much. He stopped and gave me a half smile.

"Hey, I uh was hoping to talk to you," he said shifting uncomfortably.

"Come," I said mysteriously heading into the guest room and sitting on the bed. He sat beside me and stared at where Skye had left her shoes from the previous night.

"So?" I asked and he snapped out of it.

"Right, I was just going to ask if it would be better for me to leave tonight and not stay again because of...," he said trailing off. I chewed my lip.

"Look dude, you broke my best friend's heart," I started and he flinched slightly, "But, I think it would be worse if you left."

"You do?" he said hopefully. Hey, he is not allowed to look hopeful about Skye! He can't be like I don't want you but I'm going to pine after you so you think I want you, but I'm not going to take you back. Complicated git.

"Look Lupin, either you get the hell over yourself and tell her you're sorry for being a dick face or you let her go," I said firmly letting some of my anger at him for hurting her come out.

"I-I don't know. I hurt her Paige, I knew I would but I didn't listen. If it wasn't for Anieu I could have...," he closed his eyes as if in pain.

"You were a fricking werewolf and the point of the matter is nothing like that did happen and it wasn't going too. It was one night Remus, it wasn't a normal occurrence her being there was it? Skye wouldn't have been there if it wasn't for me, it's not like by being with you she'd in constant, twenty-four hour danger you're just being over-protective," I argued.

"I felt it though, the urge to bite. I wanted to bit her, I wanted to kill her! I am a monster and there's nothing I can do about it, she needs to live a life without me," he erupted.

"That's not your choice to make! Have you ever stopped to think about what she wants? About how much you're hurting her?" I snapped.

"Every damn minute of every damn day! I know she wants me, I know she lo-lo...I can't look into her beautiful eyes without wanting to hold onto her forever and never let go but I can't," he whimpered. I stopped myself and looked at this broken boy in front of me and felt my heart squeeze. Next thing I knew I was hugging him.

"You're still an idiot," I said into his shoulder as I cradle him.

"I know," he said quietly. I don't know how long we stayed like that but when I pulled away I smiled softly.

"You have to think about what makes you happy and what makes her happy. You don't have to baby her, she's seventeen and she can make her own decisions. She came into that forest with me that night knowing that she could have been hurt or worse but she came anyway. She's a strong girl and she loves you, she loves you so much and I know you love her. Don't let something like that go, don't let her be the one that got away," I said looking dead in his eyes willing him to really listen to what I was saying.

"Whoa, Moony I don't care how close we are mate, you can't share my woman with me," Sirius' cheeky voice said as he walked into the room.

"Okay?" I said quietly still looking at him. He nodded ever so slightly before Sirius came and sat in between us and put his arms around us.

"I love you guys," he said putting on an emotional face.

"Indeed," Remus quipped.

"Seventh year Moony, you know we have to go out with a bang," he grinned.

"Between you and James I bet that means blowing up something," Remus smiled.

"That was one time," Sirius moaned, "Plus it was an accident." I wasn't even going to ask.

"So Paige, Lily says you can like use your telephone and some guy will come to the door with food for us all?" Sirius grinned.

"Yes, I hear that's true," I giggled.

"Excellent," he said.

"I'll go down and help with the, yeah," Remus said getting up.

"Hey," I said as he paused, "Are you staying?"

"I wouldn't miss another day of doing nothing with you lot," he half smiled.

"It's because you loooove us," I giggled. He laughed before heading downstairs. Sirius turned to me and just smiled.

"Are you happy?" he asked softly.

"Yes," I replied.

"You do want to be with me right?" he said in a uncharacteristically awkward voice.

"What? Of course I do, why would you ask?" I said bewildered.

"I don't know, I-I guess it's because you are just so much better than me," he almost whispered.

"Oh Sirius, don't say that. I love you. I love you because you're a sweet and kind and caring person who makes me laugh and smile. I love you because you have an incredible heart," I said looking into his worried grey eyes wanting him to understand exactly what he did to me,

"You could break my heart a million times but I know that I'd still love you," I whispered, "And that scares me to death."

"You're amazing," he smiled before kissing me softly.

Only a couple of times in my life had I ever seen Sirius vulnerable like he was now, he hid his real feelings so well. It still scared me a little to see him so exposed, I'd never forget seeing the tears roll down his face that night in the forest and they didn't belong in his beautiful eyes. He was strong and reliable, unaffected by everything. Next thing I knew he was nuzzling my neck and running his hands down my back and I found myself wanting more, damn him. As his hands went to the front of my jeans I stopped, I was lying on top of him looking down at his sexy little half smile that just said everything.

"We have guest Sirius," I argued.

"What's your point," he said kissing the dip in my collar bone. He was so cruel.

"No," I mumbled.

"What?" he said returning to his previous activity.

"Hm," I said breathing in his tantalizing scent, well I tried.

T-minus four hours until I was going to hop abroad the Hogwarts Express for the second and last time. Oh boy. It's safe to say I had the best birthday ever and even managed to clean up the house so it almost looked like nothing had happened. Well, apart from the streamers in the fridge, I'd forgotten to take them all out. Oh and god forbid my mum looked in the bins. Anyway, back to the point. This. Is. It. The last year, it was here. The last hurrah. And I was the girlfriend of a Howartian Male Idol. I was his girlfriend. I was Sirius Black's girlfriend. Jees that was still so fricking scary, it was just so real. I mean, he was one-week-Black, yes I had literally heard people call him that. Now what, he was whipped? Tamed? You can't tame a lion; it will bite your face off. Luckily for him, I was keeping all my crazy saved up for Lily, Skye and Carrie- those lucky girls. Remus and Skye were still the same and I just wished like crazy he'd say something soon because the truth was he was losing her. The more she distanced herself from him, the easier it was but that meant that his chance to win her back was almost gone. I couldn't even begin to imagine Skye with anyone else, it was just far too weird. She belonged with him, I just knew it. The time went on and before I knew it I was in the platform saying goodbye to my mum.

"Paige," she said shyly.

"Yes?" I said eyeing the train, it would have been so awkward if it drove away without me.

"I think I'm going to apply for a teaching job in the next year," she breathed.

"Wow! Seriously? That's amazing mum, that's, I'm so proud of you!" I beamed.

"Oh thank you sweetie, you better go quickly. I love you," she said giving me one last hug.

"I love you too," I shouted before running onto the train. A few minutes later the doors were shut, phew. Now for the difficult part of finding my little friends. James and Lily would be in the Head's compartment, bless. Why were there so many compartments on this tr...Bingo!

"I thought you'd missed the train!" Remus laughed.

"Just running late, where is Sk-everyone?" I asked.

"Sirius is at the food cart gorging himself and our dearest heads have to sort out their troops," he explained leaving out Skye's whereabouts.

"Aren't you one of those troops?" I asked eyeing his prefect badge.

"Yes well, someone had to make sure you got here okay," he half-smiled.

"Why thank you," I giggled taking a seat. Then I noticed how bad he looked, even though he was trying to hide it. I took his hand and squeezed it.

"I'll still be here for you just, don't tell anyone," I said gently and he laughed.

"Thank you," he said. I let go of his hand carefully and Sirius came in arms filled with sweeties.

"You are a machine," I said shaking my head.

"What, I'm hungry," he moaned setting his goods down.

"I'll see you two in bit," Remus said before getting up.

"Are there no good guys left in the world?" Sirius pouted at the fact his two best friends had fallen to the prefect-side.

"There's always me," I joked.

"Wolfy," he smirked.

"Padfoot," I quipped.

"Maybe I'll teach you a few secrets this year," he went on.

"I don't think I can handle anymore secrets," I joked, "Have you seen Skye?"

"Uhm, yeah but I don't think you're going to like what you see," he said vaguely.

"What do you mean?" I implored.

"She's uh, handling her situation in a very Sirius-like way," he laughed nervously. Oh no.

"Hey, Paige! Have you met Collin, Collin right?" Skye's voice suddenly asked as she entered the compartment with a chestnut haired, dazzled boy behind her.

"Yeah, Collin," he said grinning stupidly. Whoa. Hold up.

"Well, hello Miss. Legs-of-Gryffindor," I breathed. She was wearing short shorts revealing very nice legs and nipping at her very small waist and also showing of her very curvaceous figure. Skye had always been gorgeous no doubt but since when was she a Hot Mama?

"Oh you're so funny, I was just dropping in. I'll see you later sweetie, kiss-kiss," she said walking off with Collin following very closely behind her. My mouth hung open.

"What was that?" I said slowly.

"Told you, you weren't going to like it," he shrugged.

"What is the world actually coming too?" I said bedazzled. James was Head Boy, Sirius Black had a girlfriend, Skye Rose was being a lady's man (man's lady?), Carrie Jensson was whipped, Remus Lupin told the love of his life he didn't want her and I well, I was still fairly normal or so I hoped. One thing's for sure, this is going to be some year.

R&Review, thoughts so far?
