Okie dokie… Here's chapter 20.

And sorry for anyone who doesn't like Nina and Albus together. You might see what you want later.

I'm also sorry this is so short. Deal. The next one will be longer.

Reviewer Replies:

rducky: Fabian's just a generally confused individual.

MorganGrimm: I'm glad you like it so far! It makes me happy. :)

pink-strawberry-lemonade: You'll see. :) And yes, it may involve making out.

Now. Here's a very-confused Albus with the disclaimer.

DISCLAIMER!

Albus: She owns nothing.

Me: I wish I owned stuff.

*Nina storms in*

Nina: WHY DID YOU MAKE ME DO THIS? YOU'VE CONFUSED ME!

Me: Okay…?

Chapter Twenty: House of Stuck

Nina's POV:

"I'm so confused."

It was after dinner, and I was sitting on a sofa in the common room, talking to my roommates. The guys had gone somewhere else… I think the'd decided to go back to the Room of Requirement.

"Nina… Why did you kiss Albus?" Amber hesitantly asked.

"I don't know. I shouldn't have… He kissed me! But then… Fabian, and the broom closet, and the Room of Requirement…" I was talking more to myself than them, but they'd decided to listen anyways. I leaned back and crossed my arms over my chest, sighing.

"So…" Tarra started off. "What're you gonna do now?"

"I don't know!" I exclaimed.

"Uh, I think you need to talk to them… separately," Rose suggested. As usual, she was doing homework. I inwardly laughed at how she was so similar to Mara. "Or together… I don't know."

"It's okay Rose. Thanks anyways," I said, smiling.

Just then, the guys walked in.

"Nina, we need to talk!" Albus and Fabian exclaimed in unison. Then they looked at each other, stared at me, then back at each other.

"Well," Dominique started off. "Looks like now's your time. We'll just leave you three to talk…"

My roommates, as well as the other guys, all quickly abandoned Gryffindor Tower, leaving through the portrait hole.

I had a staring contest with Albus and Fabian. It was awkward.

"So." I said, standing up and walking over to them. "Uh… Hi?"

"Nina," Fabian started off. "I'm sorry. I overreacted. It's just… when I saw you and Albus in the broom closet… I'm sorry Nines, it wasn't cool of me to flip out like that."

"I know you're probably confused about who you like here," Albus continued, glancing at Fabian and then back at me, "but we'll be okay with whoever you choose. If you choose Fabian because you were together first, that's fine - I'll be okay with that. If you choose me, well… then that's perfect."

"And if you do choose Albus, I'm fine with that, Nina," Fabian put in. "Just know that I love you. No matter what you decide."

"Thanks, guys," I said, visibly relaxing. "Sorry. I'm just… I'm really confused right now. Albus," I turned to him. "We shouldn't have kissed. I cheated on Fabian. It wasn't right.

"Fabian," I continued, now turning to face him. "I'm sorry I cheated on you with Albus in a broom closet. It was really piggish of me. And I shouldn't have reacted like that when I saw Joy kissing you."

"It's alright, Nina," he responded, taking a step closer.

"I just need some time to think. To be alone. Sorry."

I walked up the staircase to my dormitory, neglecting to grab my bag and books. I didn't look back.

Then I was thrown up against a wall by someone very powerfully disarming me.
