Dear Teddy,
You never really wanted me, did you? You just used me, took advantage of the fact that I was in love with you and you used me. I used to have to start fights just to get your attention, as you were always looking at Victoire.
Beautiful, charming, perfect Victoire. Victoire who was lovely to everybody, and so brilliant at everything. Victoire who everybody loved, as opposed to me, to Dominique. To the girl who always came second best, the girl who had strawberry blonde hair, not Veela blonde. Street smart, but not book smart. Tomboy not girly girl.
I was different.
You put up walls around me, we rarely properly talked, and when we did it was one sided. I used to talk in the hopes that one day you would talk back, and that maybe one day you would look at me the way you looked at Victoire, that when you flashed me a smile that it would be realnot one of those condescending fake ones you always give to people you don't really like.
I don't wish that anymore, I realise that I was just a mess of a dreamer, who just so happend to have the nerve to adore you.
I lost hope in you a very long time ago. I was too different for you, I was rough around the edges, not silky smooth, I put red streaks in my hair and wore dark make up.
I tried to change for you, but now I know you aren't worth it.
I will never, ever, be as cold as you.
From the girl that always comes second best,
Dominique.
