Chapter 14: Wrong Route
Enjoy:
"What are we going to do?"
"I don't know, but if something doesn't happen this will end really badly."
"Not to mention drive everyone nuts." Remus, Lily, and James where huddled in a corner talking about the whole Carly and Sirius problem.
"We could try and get them back together?" Lily suggested. James shook his head,
"Sirius is stuck on the, 'she is my cousin, and the devil,' theory. We have more of a chance if they both just moved on."
"Well that's not going to happen anytime soon," Lily said.
"Why?" Remus asked
"For one thing Sirius is a stubborn ass, and Carly probably won't forgive him."
"Why?" James and Remus said at the same time.
"I don't know it's just the way she is. Plus-" Lily stopped talking as she watched Carly approach.
"You guys weren't just talking about me." She said sarcastically. Sirius who was on the other side of the room shot James a glare. James stood up and stretched mumbling,
"This is dangerous," in Lily's ear. Lily nodded and said goodnight to James. Remus soon followed and that left Carly and Lily. Lily shifted nervously,
"So what's new?" She asked trying to break the silence,
"Oh…nothing, I was considering a new boyfriend." Lily's eyes became wide,
"What! You and Sirius never officially broke up, so you two are still together." Carly thought for a moment,
"Good idea," With that Carly stood up and walked straight up to Sirius, "Were over."
"Who are you?" Sirius asked looking at her with disgust.
"Oh, I thought we already met I'm Caroline Mullet and I just wanted to say that we are over."
"Did we ever begin?" Carly shrugged and turned away walking up to Lily. Lily noted that Carly's eyes had a sense of betrayal in them, but Carly's voice was firm,
"So, now I need a new boyfriend." Lily decided to play along with Carly's act. She'll crack eventually, Lily thought,
"Who is the lucky guy going to be?" Carly shrugged,
"Well good night Lily."
"Good night Carly." Lily waited five minutes and then silently crept into their dorm. She heard a small sniff from the closed hangings of Carly's bed. Lily sighed inwardly and got ready trying not to disturb Carly. 'She's tough; she can get over him easily. I just hope she does it in a smarter way then Sirius did.' Lily thought before turning off the light and jumping into bed.
It was late at night and Carly was still awake. She was sure that Lily had heard her when she came up to bed. Oh well, she thought angrily ripping off her covers. She was still wearing her school robes and could care less how she looked. She tip toed out of the dorm and into the common room. As she walked out of the door her mind began to wonder.
Why is this affecting me so much? Maybe it's because you care, Yeah right, I just met him a month ago and it's not like we went to far…what do you consider to far? …I can't go that far…right so what's your problem? SIRIUS! Damnit he's just so god damn gorgeous how could someone not like him? He's to perfect, he's a gentlemen, he's hilarious, and he's gentle and rough at the same time. I think you've reached your problem. What? You didn't answer anything. Whoever said to listen to the little voice inside their head should be shot. Just a little vulgar aye? You care about him, more then any other boy you've ever been with. So? Are you daft? I just answered your question. …oh…
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
Why is he acting like this though? Because it's not entirely normal for your girlfriend to be possessed by your cousin. Not to mention the cousin you despise. Right. So it's my entire fault? How was I supposed to know that I was being possessed? How was I supposed to stop it? You weren't just give him time. Oh says you…says me…When was the last time you had a boyfriend? I'm your conscious stupid…Right. Who asked you anyway? You dumbass…why don't you look were your walking?
Carly snapped back from her own conversation to see where she was going. She was heading towards a tower, what tower is this? She shrugged and walked up the steps. What she saw made her flip and run as fast as she could. There was the man in question sitting on the edge of the window sill with some blonde in his lap. That didn't bother Carly much it was just what they were doing that made her run. Sirius looked up after hearing the door open and saw a whirl of black robes and a sliver of a brown pony tail. He shook his head and went back to what he was doing.
Carly ran her eyes clouding her vision.
And my scars remind me that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
She had know clue where she was running to, but something stopped her. Something solid. She didn't even look up to see what, or who she ran into. She just hung onto it and cried. THAT'S IT! NO MORE! THIS IS OVER NOW! HE IS DEFFINATLY GOING TO PAY! The thing she was clinging to wrapped it's arms around her and began to rub her back in a confused pat. She just let it all out on this persons shoulder. Finally after ten minutes when she ran out of tears, she looked up mumbling,
"I'm so sorry about th- Oh my God..." She gasped backing away from the person, "You!"
"What's so wrong with me?"
"You are the last person, I would have thought, to do that for someone. I thought you were just a slimy git." The person sneered,
"Yeah well I do have a reputation to hold up so don't go telling your mudblood friends and lover." The person turned to leave, but Carly stopped him,
"Wait, not that I'm to happy about you calling my friends that name, and not that you care much, but I currently don't have a lover…anymore…" The person smirked gave Carly a court nod and walked away into the dark. Carly rubbed her arm, 'what is going on?' she turned to go back to her dorm to sleep.
The next morning Carly woke in the common room. She groaned as she stretched out her soar neck and back. Clutching her head she turned towards the clock and gasped,
"Crap! 8:30!" Her stomach grumbled with agreement as she rushed down towards the hall still wearing her uniform from yesterday. Lily's eyes went wide as her friend dashed into the Great Hall with her hair, and tie all messed up,
"Carly chill its Saturday." Carly closed her eyes and sighed. She had no idea what was going on with her. Maybe Lily could help; no she's so caught up in James to realize what's going on around her. James? No the same thing with Lily and him. Remus? Why not?
"Hey Remus…Can we talk…now?" Remus swallowed his juice and looked at Carly,
"Now?" his eyes darted towards James and Lily who nodded encouragingly at him. "Okay." As soon as the words left his mouth Carly grabbed his wrist and pulled him towards an empty classroom. There he sat down at a seat and raised an eyebrow. She began to walk back and forth her mind working hard as she chewed her lip. "What's wrong?" He said after a few minutes she stopped and starred at him,
"I don't know. Can you help me?"
"I don't know how to help if I don't know what's going on." She sighed and slumped to the wall, "Why don't you tell me what you're thinking about?"
"A lot of things. Some having to be about Voldemort trying to possess me, others having to do with guys." Remus straightened in his seat,
"Sirius?" She nodded, "Well he's just a stubborn ass and it'll take him time to realize just how much you mean to him."
"But I feel like I have to get back at him."
"For what?" She sighed and told him about what she saw last night. Remus shook his head, "He was always daft, like what Lily said, he wouldn't notice a good thing if it did dance in front of him. I just hope you don't go his route to solving problems."
"What do you mean?"
"Like trying to get back at him, by going out with one of his friends (Carly laughed) or his enemy." She blinked thinking about what happened between her and that other guy last night. Should she tell Remus? No, he'd think I was crazy. Remus stood up and held out his hand for her to take. She gripped it, "Is that all?" She nodded, "Then if you'll excuse me I have a date with the beautiful Sophie of Hufflepuff." Carly grinned as he walked away from her.
She was standing in the hall way for some time when someone came up behind her,
"Why don't you just move on?" It was the guy from last night,
"What would you know about it?" She barked doing a good impression of Sirius.
"For one you sound like him. He's taking you over." Carly shrugged stuffing her hands in her pockets she began to walk. He followed,
"What do you want from me?" She asked after awhile of him following her. He looked at her and she starred back,
"This." He bent down cupping her face softly and bringing his lips onto hers. She gasped and tried to push away, but slowly gave up. When she was about to respond he pulled away giving her another nod and swept away into the darkness of the hall leaving her standing there alone again.
A cloaked figure who had just witnessed the scene gasped and ran to tell someone.
I'm Drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
I'm pissed 'cause you came around
Why don't you just go home?
'Cause I channeled all your pain
And I can't help you fix yourself
You're making me insane
All I can say is...
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
And my weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
I tried to help you once
Against my own advice
I saw you going down
But you never realized
That you're drowning in the water
So I offered you my hand
Compassion's in my nature
Tonight is our last stand
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
And my weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
I'm drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
You shoulda' never come around
Why don't you just go home?
'Cause you're drowning in the water
And I tried to grab your hand
I left my heart open
But you didn't understand
But you didn't understand
Go fix yourself
I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
Thanks for your RR,
Tandemswipe
