Chapter 7
The Truth
Disclaimer-Not mine.
"Oh shoot, I forgot my bag in the kitchen." Julia said once herself and Lily had made it to the Great Hall.
"Want me to go with you to get it?" Lily asked but Julia shook her head declining her offer.
"Nah, it's not that far from here."
"I'll catch up with you later then." Lily said with a wave as she went to go sit with Connor at the Hufflepuff table.
Julia squeezed through a group of first years to reach the corridor from the Great Hall and started down towards the kitchens.
Yesterday, Julia and Lily had made it out of detention without Filch suspecting a thing. He had gotten back just after they had made it there. It seemed he was too disgruntled to even bother suggesting that either of them had done something wrong.
So after he gave them back their wands, they both left wearing sly grins.
Julia didn't like the adrenaline rush of having to race back to a detention. But she learned with knowing the Marauders so long that if you're not willing to take chances then forget about having a good time.
Julia turned the corner to face the portrait of fruit. She glanced down the corridor to make sure no one was there. Once satisfied that the corridor was empty, she ran her fingers over the pear until it let out a squeal.
She stepped inside the corridor and closed the portrait behind her turning around to walk straight into a tall dark haired 5th year.
"Sirius?" She asked her eyes still adjusting to the darkness of the corridor.
"Oh lookie it's Miss Carr." Sirius said grinning.
"What are you doing here?" She asked him.
"Eating what else?" He replied. "And yourself?"
"Forgot my bag here last night."
"Oh I was just leaving." Sirius said trying to walk past her, which was rather difficult seeing as the corridor was not meant for people to do so.
"Er right," Julia said pressing herself up against the wall letting Sirius pass. Sirius turned against the opposite wall and tried to slide past her but his foot caught against hers stopping him from moving.
"Uh er…" Julia said looking up at him. She caught a whiff of his cologne and blushed at their closeness.
Sirius chuckled at the situation and untangled his foot, sliding past her. "You're cute when you blush."
This comment only made her blush more. "Shut up Black." She said in mock anger as she headed down the corridor towards the kitchen.
"Hey wait up." He called after her.
"I thought you were going back upstairs."
"I changed my mind."
"Very indecisive eh?" Julia stated throwing a grin behind her to him.
Sirius grinned mischievously. "Yup that's me." Which wasn't really true because he hadn't planned on leaving, not at all. He just liked the idea of the dance they had just put themselves through.
Julia hopped down from the passageway and into the kitchen.
"Say aren't house elves supposed to work here?" Julia asked him.
Sirius nodded. "Yeah they cook in here and then bring it to the room over there to serve it." He explained. "That's where they are now."
"Do they care that we come down here?"
"Nah, I think they like the company." Sirius said following her into the kitchen.
Julia walked over to the counter where she had remembered leaving her bag and frowned. "It's not here."
A house elf came waddling in carrying and empty platter over to the sink. Her eyes caught on Sirius and she turned to him smiling. "Sirius Black! Is that you?" She asked squinting.
Sirius nodded. "The one and only."
"Well I suppose you don't remember my name then. You being so busy doing other things that you probably forgot all about me."
"No, no I could never forget you Star." Sirius replied making Star beam.
"You do remember me."
Sirius nodded. "Say have you seen a bag down here recently? Like one with a bunch of books inside it?" He asked the house elf.
The elf dropped the platter into the sink and turned back to him. "Yes I have actually. I had it sent up to the Gryffindor Common Room. It should be in there now." She replied wiping her wet hands on her filthy cloths.
"Thanks Star." Sirius replied as the elf went scurrying into the other room.
"Such adorable creatures." Julia said and Sirius raised an eyebrow at that comment.
"What are you smoking? You find those things to be cute in appearance?"
Julia nodded. "Yeah."
Sirius shrugged and headed over to a pantry. "Want something to eat before we go back upstairs?"
"Sure, I'm starving." She replied following him over to the pantry.
Sirius pulled out a squeeze bottle of chocolate syrup grinning. "Personally, my favorite." He said before squeezing a good half of the bottle into his mouth.
"Well don't save any for me." She teased watching him nearly down the whole thing.
"You want some?" He asked swallowing a mouth full of chocolate.
"I'd love some." She replied tilting her head back and opening her mouth.
Sirius began to squeeze some of the delicious chocolate into her mouth before a mischievous grin crossed his face. He jerked the bottle forwards completely missing her mouth and covering her face with chocolate syrup.
"Nice aiming!" She replied wiping the chocolate off her face and smearing it on his.
Sirius backed away grinning. "I do take pride in my syrup shooting skills." He joked grabbing a handful of flour off the counter. "But I far better at throwing flour."
Sirius threw a handful of the flour at her covering her in a thin white layer. He laughed and ducked behind the counter to avoid her.
Julia gasped as the flour hit her. "You so did not just do that." She said rummaging through the cabinets for something to get him back.
"Of course I didn't." Sirius replied from behind the counter.
Julia grinned deviously as she found three eggs in the pantry. "Why don't you come out from behind the counter and face me like a man." She said tossing an egg up in the air and catching it.
"I'm quite comfortable where I am thanks." Sirius said peering over the counter to look at her. Just enough of him was showing for Julia to wind up and throw the egg at him. Her aim being fairly good, the egg hit him square in the forehead.
Sirius laughed. "Nice shot, you should be a chaser on the house team." He joked seeing as she was a chaser on the house team.
Julia laughed and slid over the counter he was behind to pelt him with more eggs. Sirius covered his head with his hands until she was all out of eggs.
"That's the final straw Carr." He replied grabbing a pie off the table. Julia's eyes widened and she made a run for it but Sirius was too quick. He put an arm around her middle and pulled her closer to him. "I don't think so…"
Julia looked at the pie in his hand and tried to pry his arm off of her but not to any avail. "Sirius don't you dare!" She said trying to sound upset with him.
"I think its blueberry pie. You do like blueberries right?" He asked grinning before he smashed it into her face while she pleaded and begged for him not to.
He laughed letting go of her and the pie. "Sirius!" She laughed wiping blueberries from her face.
"That would be my name." He replied running around the counter to the other side of the kitchen.
Julia grabbed the first thing she could reach and threw it at him which just so happened to be a bucket of dirty water that was used to clean the floor.
Sirius laughed now completely wet and smelling like dirt and cleaning solution. "Just for that I should stick your head in a toilet or something equally horrid." He replied and Julia laughed hoping he was joking.
"Stop!" Star called waving her arms angrily. "Stop, stop both of you!" She yelled though there really wasn't a need to seeing as they were only 5 feet away from each other in a relatively quiet room. "Out! Both of you!" She said putting her hands on Sirius's back and pushing him to the door.
Sirius laughed and Julia tried to suppress a grin. They both stumbled into the passageway heading down the corridor towards the portrait. Julia was sporting the look of white hair; almost her whole head of black hair was covered by the powdery white substance. Sirius was equally covered with water dripping down the side of his face and cloths.
Sirius reached the portrait first where he opened it a crack and peered out making sure no one was around. When the coast was clear, he pushed the portrait opened and hopped out.
"Watch yourself there." Sirius said helping her down off the step.
"I'm not daft Sirius. I can manage climbing down a step." She teased once she was out of the passageway.
Sirius cracked a grin. "Just making sure. Don't need you falling on your face or anything."
"Uh oh." Escaped Julia's lips as she looked down the hall at a 6th year boy approaching them.
"Hey Tom." Sirius said to Julia's brother as he stopped in from of them.
Julia frowned refusing to make eye contact with Tom. "Nice to see you Sirius but if you don't mind, I'd like to speak with Julia."
Sensing something was wrong, Sirius looked from brother to sister. They both looked a lot alike. They had the same midnight black hair and the deep brown eyes as well as the same tanned skin and freckled covered nose.
"Oh, alright." Sirius said. "I'll wait for you at the end of the corridor."
Julia shook her head. "You can go. You don't have to wait." Julia said hoping that he really would leave.
"Nah, I don't mind." Sirius said starting the walk down the long corridor.
Tom watched him go until he was halfway down the hall before he turned back to Julia. "Would you like to explain this to me?" He asked angrily thrusting a letter at her.
Julia scanned the first few lines of it and immediately realized it was the letter McGonagall said she would write to him.
"Well I- I mean Lily and me, we...uh...We didn't mean to-." Julia stuttered not sure what to say.
"What on earth were you thinking going out of the castle after hours!" He asked shoving the parchment back into his pocket. Tom rested a heavy hand on her shoulder forcing her to look up at him.
"It was nothing really, we just-"
"Nothing?" Tom interrupted. "How can you say doing something like that was nothing?"
Julia shook her head and broke eye contact with him again; her eyes finding the floor.
"Do you realize you were nearly expelled for this?" He continued pumping his hand angrily.
Nodding Julia said, "Yeah McGonagall told us that."
"You know the rules Julia. You know you can't leave your common room after nine."
"Why are you doing this?" Julia asked him.
"Doing what?" He spat.
"Why are you making me feel so guilty?" She asked finding her strength in her voice.
"Making you feel guilty? You very well should feel guilty after that."
"But do I make you feel bad for getting detentions because you talked back to a Professor or skipped a class?" Julia asked rhetorically.
"This is different."
"No, no it's not." Julia replied.
"It's very different because I wasn't nearly expelled for all those things." He said clearly getting frustrated.
"So what? I'm not allowed to make mistakes too?" She asked, her voice remaining calm like she were talking about the weather.
Tom sighed and shook his head. "Julia everyone makes mistakes. I know that, you know that. And I don't mind if you get a detention once in a while for not doing your homework or even are banned from the quidditch team because you had a row with a professor."
"Then why are you here? You enjoy yelling at me?" Julia said quietly.
"No Juls. I'm here because you nearly got expelled." Their conversation went from firing at each other to a much calmer talk.
"So did Lily why don't you go lecture her for a while?"
"You know Lily is different!" He said. "She's not my responsibility, you are."
Julia said nothing to this comment, she didn't know what to say.
"And if Lily gets expelled," He continued. "She won't be lost."
Julia looked up at her brother, brow furrowed.
"What's that supposed to mean?" She asked.
"You know what that means Julia." He said sternly. "It means, if Lily is expelled she has somewhere to go. She has people looking out for her."
Julia bit the inside of her cheek before saying, "What about you? I thought you were looking after me."
"Yes that's the point Juls." He said. "If you were expelled I would have to drop out of Hogwarts to look after you."
Her heart felt heavy as she realized what he meant. "But-but no you wouldn't."
Tom nodded. "Yes Julia I would. Mum and Dad are dead. There is no one out there to catch us if we screw up."
Sirius's mouth dropped and his heart sank. He could hear most of their conversation from where he was standing though he knew he shouldn't be listening.
Julia shook her head and backed away from Tom but he continued. "Julia, they might be somewhere watching down on us but they can't give us money. They can't give us a home because they aren't here. They're not alive anymore."
Julia took a few more steps away from him, "I don't want to talk about them." She said evenly.
"Maybe it would do you some good though Juls." He replied stepping towards her again.
"No, it wouldn't." She replied surely.
"But you never want to talk about them. Juls they were your parents."
"I said I did not want to talk!" She spat at him her heart pounding with remorse.
"Have you even told any of your friends? Do any of them know?" He persisted.
Julia shook her head again. "Tom stop."
"Why haven't you told them! They've been your friends for nearly five years!"
Julia again felt the guilt well up inside her. She had always wanted to tell them but for so long she had had them on a hook believing that she still did have parents Julia had never known how to explain herself.
"You have nothing to be ashamed about." He said.
"It won't do any good telling them." She replied.
"It'll do a great deal Julia."
"No it won't Tom." She started. "They'll just feel bad for me and that's all they can do because none of them can change what happened."
"But maybe you do need someone to feel bad for you for a change. Maybe you need to realize that this kind of thing doesn't happen to everyone at a young age like this. Most people still have they're parents when they're 15." He said.
"I don't want pity!"
"Julia, it's like you've been hiding from the reality; they aren't coming back. Sometimes, I think the fact they're gone hasn't sunk into you yet."
"I know they're gone. I'm not ten anymore Tom. I understand."
"Then haven't you cried?"
"What?" Julia replied completely taken off by this subject.
"I said why haven't you cried? Not even at their funeral. The whole time you never listened to a word that was said about our parents. You were just finding pictures in the clouds remember?"
"I was ten!"
"And don't you think it's weird that a ten year old who had just found out that she would never see her mother and father again was having fun watching the clouds?"
Sirius nodded to himself making the decision to leave. If Julia wanted him to know, he would have told her. He walked off towards the common room feeling numb all over.
"That doesn't mean that I don't get it now."
"I don't believe that."
"Why? Why the bloody hell not?" Julia asked him, anger rising inside her for the first time in years.
"I said already! Because it doesn't seem like you care that they are gone! You haven't realized that they're dead and clearly you don't understand what it means that to have no one left to look after us because you were running around after midnight."
"What do you mean no one to look after us?" She continued. "What about Dumbledore, the Professors? What about the Board of Education who gives us our scholarships ever year?"
"They'll be gone if you're expelled!"
Julia paused feeling her eyes burn like they haven't in years.
"News flash Tom, I wasn't expelled."
"Maybe not but you almost lost it. For the both of us." He said coldly and turned around to head back towards the Great Hall. "Juls, why don't you go tell your friends now. I promise it'll make you feel better."
"No Tom I told you I don't want pity!"
Tom turned his head back to face his little sister. "You're pathetic."
Julia studied his face before he turned back around. She was left there was a stabbing feeling in her stomach. She was pathetic.
She had gone so many years thinking she had to be strong for her brother and not let him see how much pain she was really in. But just then she realized how much she changed since it happened. And how worried her brother was for her.
She took her time to get to the end of the corridor where Sirius had said he would meet her. She didn't want Sirius to see her upset about this whole ordeal so she put on a brave face and turned the corner to find that Sirius wasn't there.
Julia frowned figuring that he was up in the common room already and decided to go there as well to wash up before her detention.
When she entered the common room she found Sirius sitting on the big squishy armchair staring into the flames of the burning fire.
She took a deep relaxing breath before saying. "Hey you." Sirius looked over at her and forced a smile.
"Hey to you too." He replied. "Everything okay with your brother?" He asked.
Julia nodded, "Yeah every thing's fine."
"Look Juls I have to talk to you about something." Sirius said concerned.
"Alright can it wait until after my detention? I have to be there in 5 minutes and I still have to wash off all this flour."
Sirius grinned and nodded. "Yeah later is fine."
"Okey doke." She replied before sprinting up the stairs to her dorm.
Lily and Julia sat in the Transfiguration room rewriting detention slips. McGonagall had given them mounds of papers to recopy as their punishment.
The girls had got to work silently and busily trying to finish up so they could go back to the common room. Unfortunately for Julia, this had given her time to think about what had happened that day.
Tom was right. She never really had accepted the fact that her parents were gone for good. She always thought of them as still away on vacation. And when she had talked to her friends as if her parents were still alive, it made it seem as though they had never left her or her brother.
Julia sighed and set down her quill deciding to rest from the hour and a half of writing she just did. She buried her face in her hands and rubbed her eyes.
"Everything alright?" Lily asked taking a clean detention slip and beginning to rewrite the words from the old one.
"Oh yeah, I'm fine." Julia replied picking up her quill again. "I'm just tired."
McGonagall looked over at the clock and sighed. Normally, her detentions were two hours to three hours long but she knew that Lily and Julia were good students, they just had messed up once.
"You two may go now." She said and the girls looked up at her thankfully.
"Thank you Professor." Lily said stacking the finished detention slips in a pile.
"I hope both of you have learned your lesson." McGonagall said dipping her quill in an ink bottle.
"Yes we have Professor." Julia replied capping her own ink.
"Alright then, I'll see you at lessons tomorrow." McGonagall concluded.
"Thank you." Lily repeated leaving the room.
The girls walked silently up the stairs to the common room. "Say, are you sure your alright? I mean you haven't talked much today."
Julia nodded to Lily. "I promise I'm fine." She assured her and mumbled the password to the Fat Lady.
"Finally." Lily said entering the common room and sighing. "It's been such a horridly long day." She began to climb the staircase to her room sluggishly.
Julia nodded and headed over to the couches in the common room; she wasn't in much of a mood for sleep.
"You coming?" Lily asked Julia noticing she wasn't following her.
"Oh yeah. I'll be up there in a second. I just want to finish up my potions homework." She lied.
"Alright then. My homework's on the table over there if you want to copy it." Lily suggested pushing open the dorm door and yawning.
"Nah it's only a little more I have to finish."
Once the door to the dorm had shut, Julia sighed and plopped down on the couch in the silent and empty common room; or at least Julia had thought it was empty.
"Doing homework eh?" A voice came from below the balcony to the boys' dorm.
Julia gasped and sat up looking in the direction of the voice. "Sirius s'that you?"
"Course it's me." He said taking a seat next to her on the couch.
"Oh," Julia muttered. "So did you want to talk to me about something before?" She said putting on a cheerful looking expression.
"Uh...yeah I did." Sirius said looking at his hands before his eyes found her big brown ones. "I thought that you should know that I-" Sirius shook his head. "I'm so sorry Julia."
Julia frowned her brow furrowed. "Sorry? What did you do now?" She asked her eyes narrowing at him thinking that he had pulled some kind of prank on her that she was unaware of.
"No. It's not like that Julia. I'm being serious for a change." He said forcing a smile. Sirius took a deep breath before continuing. "Today, when we met your brother at the kitchen I went to wait for you at the end of the corridor."
"Yeah I know. But I guess you got tired of waiting and left huh?" She asked still smiling at him.
Sirius looked down again and continued. "Well I didn't mean to but I heard apart of your conversation I don't think I was supposed to. But I promise I left right away when I realized I could hear you from where I was."
The smile disappeared off her face, "And what part of the conversation did you catch?" She asked slowly absorbing what this meant.
Sirius's gray eyes searched Julia's face wondering how to tell her this. "I heard enough to know-er, to know about your parents Julia."
Julia's eyes dropped from Sirius to over to the fireplace. She thought for a while before saying, "I suppose you want to know about them now huh?"
Sirius shrugged. "I would like to know but Julia if you don't want to tell me that's fine. I understand it's a hard to talk about."
She shook her head. "No I have to tell you."
Sirius nodded still looking at the side of her face. "Alright."
Julia shifted uncomfortably in her seat deciding to face Sirius though she knew she wouldn't be able to keep eye contact the whole time but at least it would feel more like a normal conversation.
"When I was ten, my parents used to drill my brother and I all the time in case Death Eaters or some dark wizard came to our house. You see, they were aurors. Well one night, our parents told us to go to the basement and stay in a closet down there. It was magical charmed so it was hidden from anyone who didn't know it was there."
"Well we thought it was just another drill and it'd be over in a couple minutes. We'd have diner, be told a bed time story and sleep in our own comfy beds." She forced a chuckle and shook her head. "Boy we were wrong."
Julia ran her tongue along her bottom lip thinking of how to explain this. "Tom and I were playing 'Rock, Scissor, Paper, Shoot!' when we heard my mother scream. That's when we knew it was for real."
"And for a half an hour we listened to our parents being tortured upstairs." Julia found a spot on the wall begging herself not to feel remorse as she told the story. She thought if she told the story like the newspaper report facts, it might not mean anything to her.
"Two hours later, they died. And my brother and I were left alone. We have no other family." She said. "We stayed a bit with our friends parents but then we learned to start doing things by ourselves. We rented an apartment under my parents name and that's where we live now." She finished taking a deep breath.
"That's horrible Julia. You must miss them." Sirius said no sure how to comfort her though she didn't seem like she needed it yet.
Julia shook her head biting down hard on her lip as she felt her eyes swelled. "The thing is a few hours before the Death Eaters came, my mum gave me a necklace. She said it had been given to her by her mother by her mother and so on. She also told me that the necklace was given to the daughter when she turned 17. But she was afraid she wouldn't be able to give it to me then." Her eyes found Sirius's again. "She knew she was going to die and she did nothing about it." Julia felt her bottom lip quiver so she bit down on it again to keep it from moving.
"She knew she was going to leave me and my brother but she didn't leave us anything. She didn't prepare us. She didn't do anything." Julia closed her eyes hoping the tears that were welling up inside her eyes would somehow reabsorb back into her face.
"Juls, maybe they were just afraid that if they ran, something might happen to you two."
"Well something happen to us now because they left us with nothing." Julia held her hands tight in her lap feeling them shake. "Not even someone to go to when they died."
"So no, Sirius, I don't miss them." Her eyes felt swollen as tears filled them to the brim. She knew the words she was speaking weren't true. Every day she prayed, hoped and wished that there was someway to bring them back.
Julia shook her head and looked into her lap to hid the tears from Sirius. "Aw, Juls." He said wiping a lone tear from her face.
"Am I horrible for saying that?" Julia asked finding the courage to look up at him. "Am I a horrid daughter?"
Sirius shook his head. "No your not." He said evenly. "You're just mad I think." He chuckled a bit. "And a horrid daughter? No for sure you aren't; I'm sure you're making your parents very proud right now."
Julia smiled and leaned forward to hug him. "Thanks Sirius you're the greatest."
"I know." He joked kissing the top of her head without thinking. He wrapped his arms tightly around her making her feel safe for the first time and years.
Julia grinned. "And modest. Wow Sirius you're the whole package." She pulled away from him, her face tear stained. "Uh, I'm so pathetic." She said wiping the tears and mascara from her face.
"You're anything but pathetic."
"How about pitiful?" She sniffled.
"Why would you say that?" He asked helping her wipe away the tears. "You've been through a lot you have a right to cry."
Julia shook her head. "You know I haven't cried in five years."
"That's longer than me." Sirius said pushing her hair out of her face.
Julia chuckled. "And when was the last time you cried?"
"I stubbed my toe last week." He said grinning.
Julia shoved him playfully. "No really."
"Really?" Sirius sighed and thought for a second before saying. "When my parents sent me that letter practically disowning me because they found out I made Gryffindor."
Julia's face turned serious again. "Yeah, you're kind of in the same boat as me. I mean not really having parents to love you."
All Sirius could do was nod to that. For years, he had spent almost his entire summer fighting with his parents about his lack of wanting to be a dark wizard. They said Sirius had 'dirtied' the blood line by becoming a Gryffindor.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Julia realized what she had implied. "I mean I'm sure your parents love you they're just-"
Sirius cut her off by saying, "You don't have to."
Julia nodded in reply. "You know, until now, I've always thought of myself lost in this world. I mean with only my brother looking out for me. But I was wrong." Julia said. "I have you, Lily, all the Marauders and probably more."
"Especially me." He said with a smile.
"Yeah some big strong guy has to look out for the little orphan girl." She pouted jokingly.
Sirius laughed. "You're too cute when you do that."
Julia poked her tongue out at him. "Shut up." She joked.
Sirius chuckled. "Cute and nasty? Now you don't see that combo everyday." He said pressing his forehead to hers.
"I'm just special. What can I say?" She said with a meek shrug. Her eyes burning into his.
Silence filled the room as they could feel the others hot breath on their lower face and neck. They're eyes seemed to be permanently locked. They were both searching each others eyes looking for what they were feeling at that moment. A deep hungry filling both of them. There was only one way to fill that hunger.
"Julia?"
"Sirius?"
"Is it really wrong that I want to kiss you right now."
Julia took a sharp intake of air not expecting that at all. She quickly recovered and replied. "Well not really wrong."
"But you still think it's wrong?"
"Well we are supposed to be best friends."
"So?"
"That doesn't mean anything to you?"
"Does it mean anything to you?"
"Well no."
"Then why did you say it."
"I'm not sure."
"So can I kiss you?"
"Yeah." Julia forced out in nothing more than a whisper. Her eyes were searching his so deeply that the words just spilled out of her; like she had no control over what she said.
Julia hesitated a bit moving towards him but her hesitation was overcompensated by Sirius's aggressive move towards her. Their lips collided fitting perfectly.
The kiss didn't last long but it was long enough for both of them to realize how right it felt.
Julia blushed and looked away from his for a second; what they had just did sinking in. "I can't believe that."
"Do you regret it?" Sirius asked concerned.
"No. No of course not." She replied.
"Good."
The Grandfather clock in the corner chimed midnight making Julia jump a bit from the sudden noise. "It's getting late." She said counting the chimes.
Sirius nodded. "Yeah midnight."
"Should we go up to our dorms?" Julia asked.
"Yeah." Sirius replied but neither of them moved.
"Sirius?"
"Yeah?"
"Thanks."
A/N- Phew! Another chapter. A bit more happened in this one and I hope you all enjoyed it. Thanks to all of my reviewers I love you all Hugs them.
So did you like it? Hate it? I was going to leave it off at a nasty cliffhanger right after Sirius asks "So can I kiss you?" but I thought that was a bit too harsh. Plus it would have ruined the room.
Anyway...
Please send in your reviews but now that my vacation is coming to an end (I go back to school on Monday) I can't guarantee a chapter every day. I probably be able to get one out every week but I'm not guaranteeing anything because I have softball after school everyday and I don't get home until around six.
Review please!
