The day she told me how she felt, my heart broke. She's my best friend and I had to put her through that.
"Simon?"
"Penny?"
"We need to talk."
"What about?"
"I think I love you."
We stood in awkward silence for a while, but eventually someone had to break it.
"Penny-"
"Don't talk. Please."
Then she kissed me and I felt the world shift. But not in the oh-my-god-I've-found-my-soulmate way. More like the what-the-hell-do-I-do-now sort of way.
"Penny, I'm sorry."
"Why?"
"I love Baz."
I remember how she looked at me. Shock. Pain. Mortification.
"I'm sorry."
It was a pathetic response. Inadequate. She turned and walked away.
"Penny, I'm sorry".
"Are you OK?"
"I know this is unexpected, and I know how much this must hurt, but I'd really like it if we could stay friends."
"Penny?"
"Pen?"
"Penny, please call me back."
She never did. I looked down at my phone, and called another number.
"Baz?"
"Snow?"
"I think I love you."
It's been three months. I still miss Penny, but the pain has mostly subsided. I only really think of her once every couple days.I have Baz now, and maybe Penny and I weren't as close as I thought we were. If we had been, she would have called me back.
I'm not sorry.

*sob!* This is kinda depressing, but still great! Love you, sister-sister!

This...wasn't half bad. This reads kinda like it happened in the books, or maybe the films.

Thank you for stamping on my dreams, Cather Avery. You will live to regret your heracy!
Hi! It's me! This was originally intended as a oneshot, but I wrote this chapter as a present for Dark Meow Meow Kitten of Doom. Hi! Awesome username, btw. And I know the number of reviews and favourites is kinda high, and possibly unrealistic, but Magicath's pretty popular, so...yeah. Also, I just wanted an excuse to have one of the totals as 4077.
