Tears, Broken Hearts and I Love You
It had been exactly one month and girls all over Hogwarts had been gossiping. Sirius Black had a girlfriend longer than 2 weeks. Most of all, they had heard that they hadn't had a 'go at it' as people so willingly put.
"Sirius" Kelsey whispered walking down the hall. Sirius held her hand, and Kelsey dragged him off into a corner before going to class.
"You okay?" He asked concerned.
Concern. How many people have seen that much compassion in a girl from him? "Why are you still around?" She asked staring into his eyes.
Sirius looked at her. "What do you mean? Do you want me to leave?" He asked.
She smiled a bit and touched his arm, "No, no I don't want you to go." She sighed. "Why am I still around?"
"Because, I like you, a lot." Sirius answered.
"You've stuck around for 4 weeks Sirius, two weeks longer than usual." She explained.
Sirius smiled and bit his lip. "Yeah. I, you." He couldn't say it.
Kelsey cut him off and said, "I think that you stopped your flavor of the week, but then I thought that you were setting me up for a bad heartbreak, and I don't want-" She gasped.
Sirius had pulled out of his pocket a silver diamond necklace. "Oh Sirius…" She breathed.
Sirius wasn't sure whether she liked it or not. "Kelsey, listen I like you a lot. Not like other girls. You, you make me want to do my homework, you make me want to be the best I can. You're the reason I wake up, I want to see you. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me, and I don't ever want you to leave me. I think….I know that I'm in love with you." He finished.
Tears blurred her vision. What was happening? "I-I can't!" She said, and ran away.
"Hey Padfoot!" James said happily. The glum look on Sirius face was more than enough for James to continue. "What happened? You look like a dog without his chew toy." James chuckled a bit.
"Put it into human terms, yeah that's it." Sirius said and sighed.
"What do you mean?" James asked clearly confused.
"I told her I loved her." Sirius said.
James smiled, "Well that's great!" and patted him on the back.
"No, it's not. I told her I loved her, and you know what? She ran away. She doesn't love me." Sirius was on the verge of tears.
"No need to cry Padfoot." James smiled and smirked.
"Yes, yes there is! She left me! She will never speak to me again!" Sirius turned the way to the tower, skipping next class.
Kelsey sighed. Why did she run away? Sirius was what she always wanted, what she dreamed of. He told her he loved her, what was so hard about saying it back?
There was her chance. Sirius had walked into the common room. She stood from the couch and yelled, "Sirius!"
The look Sirius gave her was more than she can handle. He looked sad, confused and mostly hurt. He looked at her briefly at the bottom of the stairs and then walked up to his dorm.
Tears came again as she sat down, drowning in self sorrow.
That night in the heads room Lily and James sat in there opposite sides of the couch. Lily was in a foul mood.
"So Lily, how was your day?" James asked breaking the silence.
"Good until your Black broke Kelsey's heart." Lily sneered.
"He broke her heart? She was the one who turned around and left after he said I LOVE YOU!" James said defending his mate.
Uh-oh.
Lily raised her eyebrows, "Well any CIVILIZED guy would TALK TO HER AFTERWORDS!"
Uh-oh.
"WELL telling someone YOU LOVE THEM isn't EASY! ESPICALLY IF THEY RUN AWAY AFTERWARDS!" James yelled at the small girl in front of him.
And hell broke loose.
"I HATE YOU POTTER!" Lily screamed.
"YEAH? WELL I HATE YOU TOO!" James yelled and ran out of the common room.
Lily stuck her tongue out and ran to her room.
"Whoa Prongs, what's got you so wound?" Remus asked as seeing James mad walking down the hall.
"Evans." He said like it was poison in his mouth.
"What's a matter with Lily?" Remus asked.
"Don't say her name in my wake!" James yelled. "I HATE HER!" and walked off.
Sirius appeared around the corner. "Oh, oh this isn't good."
Remus looked quizzically at him. "I put something wrong in the potion." Sirius smacked his head.
"What potion?" Remus asked looking at Sirius.
"Love Potion." Sirius whispered.
"YOU DOLT!" Remus yelled. "You suck at potions! You should have had me there!"
Sirius looked at him. "You would have helped?"
"Hell yeah!" Remus yelled. "Now what did you put in the potion?"
"I don't know, Kelsey helped me." Sirius said, and then suddenly saddened.
"Go talk to her and ask." Remus said and walked away.
"If only it was that easy." Sirius whispered.
Lily sighed and got up. Uh how James Potter infuriated her.
And this was just the beginning.
