Chapter 9: Tears and a Song

The next day I got up, got dressed. When I walked down the stairs the Marauders were waiting for me. I stopped at the bottom of the stairs I looked at Remus.

"Why did you run away last night?"

James said hotly at me. I looked at him, my hand on my wand. I really wanted to hex them (besides Remus).

"Do I really have to tell you? If I have to tell you then what's the point."

My voice shook with anger.

"What does that mean?"

I rolled my eyes.

"You laughed at me!"

I almost yelled. They looked at me and my wand? When did I put up my wand? It was pointed right between James eyes. I walked around him and went out of the common room.

It was the week end so we didn't have lessons. I walked to the music room. Sky wasn't there so I say on the desk and started to sing.

Grew up in a small townAnd when the rain would fall down

I closed my eyes as I song.

I'd just stare out my windowDreaming of what could beAnd if I'd end up happyI would pray (I would pray)

I started to let my self get lost into the song.

Trying hard to reach outBut when I tried to speak outFelt like no one could hear me

I didn't hear the door open. So I sang on.

Wanted to belong hereBut something felt so wrong hereSo I prayed I could break away

I took a breath then went on.

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to flyI'll do what it takes til' I touch the skyAnd I'll make a wishTake a chance

I laid back on to the desk.

Make a changeAnd breakawayOut of the darkness and into the sunBut I won't forget all the ones that I loveI put my arms over my eyes.

I'll take a riskTake a chanceMake a changeAnd breakaway

I let the tears run down my face.

Wanna feel the warm breezeSleep under a palm treeFeel the rush of the ocean

Even when I cry I could keep my voice claim.

Get onboard a fast trainTravel on a jet plane, far away (I will)And breakaway

The hot wet tears kept on coming. I was so mad.

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to flyI'll do what it takes til' I touch the skyAnd I'll make a wishTake a chance

The person who was in the room sat at a desk.

Make a changeAnd breakawayOut of the darkness and into the sunBut I won't forget all the ones that I love

I rolled over on to my side and balled up.

I'll take a riskTake a chanceMake a changeAnd breakaway

Taking a deep breath I went on.

Buildings with a hundred floorsSwinging around revolving doorsMaybe I don't know where they'll take me butGotta keep moving on, moving onFly away, breakaway

I heard the person take a breath. Then I kept on and finished the song.

I'll spread my wingsAnd I'll learn how to flyThough it's not easy to tell you goodbyeI gotta take a riskTake a chanceMake a changeAnd breakawayOut of the darkness and into the sunBut I won't forget the place I come fromI gotta take a riskTake a chanceMake a changeAnd breakaway, breakaway, breakaway

I wiped away the last of my tears and sat up. Sky looked me in to my red eyes. "You ok?"

He said softly. I took a shaky breath.

"I will be fine."

He nodded. We looked at each other for a very long time.

"Do you know why they are like this?"

I smiled a little.

"I guess they see me as a sister or something and they don't like it when I don't hang out with them all the time. I'm not aloud to have other friends or do anything with our telling them first."

He was trying not to laugh. I started to laugh.

"Its ok to laugh."

Sky started to laugh with me.

"They sound like mother hens."

I laughed harder.

"Yep but Remus is the only one that treats me like a friend."

We talked for the rest of the day. We had some of the house-elves bring food and drinks. I had a great day. . .
