I'm sorry if this is a little sappy-ish since I've been listening to sentimental music for quite some time now. But nonetheless I hope you'll enjoy it.

By the way, those in bold lettering aside from the one that says their POV is just a song I wanted to add to give an effect!

Part 10: Warning: Sentimental Chapter!

Oliver's POV

"Now team, we have around 2 months before the World Cup starts" the coach takes his time as he paces in front of the team. "I know that we've been constantly training and training for this. So, as what you may call a reward, I'm giving all of you this month as a vacation."

Everyone on the team looks shocked at their coach. Did he just say a month long vacation? As if reading their minds he quickly adds, "Well not really a vacation since all of you need to come here on Wednesdays to practice for a while since I don't want any of you to forget the movements we've been working on."

But even this did not change the huge grins on each of the player's faces. "As of now, all of you are on a vacation. Enjoy and remember, practice here every Wednesday at 6 A.M. sharp." And with that he left, leaving 14 (14 since that includes the reserve team) happy people in the locker room.

'A month long vacation? Yes!' I suddenly have a great idea how to spend this long vacation in order to win over Katie. "See you guys next week!" I grab my duffel bag and apparate immediately back to my apartment. I look at the clock and see that it's noon already. (By the way, it's a Monday) I go to my room, grab a piece of parchment, and a quill before writing a letter to Katie.

Katie,

Surprisingly, the coach gave us a month long vacation starting today. I was wondering if maybe you'd like to just hang out together like we did before since this will be my only time off before we go and train for the World Cup. Please owl back or just drop by the apartment.

-Oliver

I look down at the letter and call Dokins, my brown owl, over to send it to Katie. I smile as I watch him fly away.

Katie's POV

"Orla, did you see where I put a brown envelope?" I look under my desk when suddenly an owl perches itself on the window causing a thud. "Ow!" I bump my head on my desk as I walk over and recognize it as Oliver's owl.

Opening the window, I untie the letter from Dokins' leg. I read the letter and immediately write a reply.

Oliver,

That's great! Of course I'd love to hang out. I can't wait to tell the others, especially the twins since they've been really planning to have another get-together with all of us. Owl me the details when you wanna meet up or just drop by the house tonight after work; I'm sure Ange and Alicia wont mind.

-Katie

I tie the letter onto Dokins' leg and give her a treat before letting her fly off.

"What was that?" I look up and see Orla with the envelope I've been looking for.

I grab the envelope before turning around. "Oh a letter from my friend, Oliver."

"Oh your friend Oliver." Did everyone forget that I have a boyfriend named Jesse who exists?

I just shake my head before resuming to finishing the papers that I had lost earlier.

Oliver's POV

I've been watching T.V. when I hear Dokins scratching the closed window. I let her in and give her a few treats while I read Katie's reply. Smiling, I decide to drop by the house later to talk to her and the others.

Getting tired of watching, I turn it off and decide to walk around the apartment once again getting lost in my own thoughts.

I'm awake in the afternoon

I fell asleep in the living room

And it's one of those moments

When everything is so clear

Before the truth comes back into hiding,

I want to decide 'cause it's worth deciding,

To work on finding something more than this fear,

It takes so much out of me to pretend,

Tell me now, tell me how to make amends,

I remember when I first bought the apartment for Katie and me. I've just started being keeper for Puddlemere and used some of the money I've been saving up for this since I knew that she would love it. I can never forget the way she kept on hugging and kissing me when I first brought her here.

Maybe, I need to see the daylight,

To leave behind this half-life,

Don't you see I'm breaking down?

Lately, something here don't feel right,

This is just a half-life,

Is there really no escape?

No escape from time,

Of any kind,

I stop and take a seat in the living room and just close my eyes. I recollect all the nights we spent here just talking, laughing at each other, slept by the fire, and the little parties we had with our friends. I laugh at the time we had to spend hours to rearrange the furniture, since for some reason Katie kept tripping on the table.

I keep trying to understand,

This thing and that thing, my fellow man,

I guess I'll let you know,

When I figure it out,

I stand up and continue to move around the apartment once again stopping in the kitchen. This, I remember, was where we learned the hard way that wizards and witches aren't meant to cook the muggle way. We were trying to cook a turkey for a little party we were gonna have with our friends, but then we left it in the oven too long and it started to smoke. And in the end, we were left with a burnt turkey and wasted about 3 hours trying to learn how to work an oven.

But I don't mind a few mysteries,

They can stay that way it's fine by me,

But you are another mystery I am missing,

It takes too much out of me to pretend,

Finally, I arrive at what was once Katie's room. It's now practically empty except for the bed, drawers, closet, and her table. I sit down on her bed and remember our first nights here. Katie has always had trouble sleeping in unfamiliar places, so I slept beside her for a whole week before she finally got used to the apartment. Sometimes, we didn't even sleep; we would just talk or eat here on her bed.

Maybe, I need to see the daylight,

To leave behind this half-life,

Don't you see I'm breaking down?

Lately, something here don't feel right,

This is just a half-life,

Is there really no escape?

No escape from time,

Of any kind,

After I don't know how long I've been there, finally I stand up and head to my room. I look at the pictures I have of her and me. I take the last picture frame and watch the photo me smile before he gets hit on the head by the photo Katie. I smile when I see the photo me carry the photo Katie and start walking away. Suddenly, I feel the loneliness once more inside of me. Ever since Katie left nothing has been the same. No matter how successful I got, I've been starting to feel empty inside. I put back the picture frame and take out a small black box I've been hiding in my drawer. I lie down on my bed and take out the promise ring Katie gave back to me. I remember the night we broke up and feel the loneliness inside of me once again.

Come on let's fall in love,

Come on let's fall in love,

Come on let's fall in love,

again

'Cause lately something here don't feel right,

This is just a half-life,

Without you I am breaking down,

Wake me, I want to see the daylight,

Save me from this half-life,

Let's you and I escape,

Escape from time,

Suddenly, I wake up and roll over to my side. I look at my watch and see that it's already 7:00 P.M. 'I guess I must have dozed off.' I suddenly remember that I'm gonna go over to Katie. I put back the ring and head to the bathroom to tidy myself a bit. I smile remembering that I'll be able to see Katie again before finally apparating to the house she, Angelina, and Alicia share.

Come on let's fall in love,

Come on let's fall in love,

Come on let's fall in love,

again
