(A/N): Hey Guys! So, here's the next chapter!

Leo
Shortly afterwards we returned to the astronomy tower where the others were waiting, but tried to act like they weren't.
I took my seat beside Elaine, Brooke getting the message to leave us alone, and going to sit between Remus and Peter.
Elaine didn't so much as look up as I sat down, her eyes focused on the bracelet she was twiddling between her fingers.
"You gave me this." She murmured, and I nodded, already having recognised it.
"I know." She didn't speak for a second, instead unclasping the bracelet and holding it up, the latin inscription facing me.
"I got Sirius to translate it when I first noticed it a few months ago." She paused for a second, sighing. "You broke that promise tonight." She pushed off the ground, moving to sit between James and Sirius.
I felt Brooke's eyes watching me but I didn't bother to look up.
Surprisingly, it wasn't Brooke who sat down beside me, but Remus.
"You okay?" I blinked, staring at him. "Sorry." I shook my head.
"It's fine Remus." I pulled my knees up to my chest, resting my head on top of my crossed arms.
"I know you don't want to hurt her. Either of them." I shook my head.
"I don't want to hurt anyone. I'm just so confused." Remus nodded, placing his hand on my shoulder.
"I think you might be a little mentally compromised." I raised an eyebrow at him. "You clearly love Elaine, how the hell are you confused?!" He exclaimed in a hushed tone.
"Because I don't want to hurt her. Elaine's a human, she's fragile. With Brooke... I don't have to worry as much. And I like Brooke as well, a lot! I just... god, I'm so confused." I threw my head back, blinking back tears of frustration.
"Oh of course, you have two beautiful girls crushing on you, it must be so hard for you." I stared at him and he sighed. "Sorry Leo. It's just... other than your 'heritage' and your family problems, you just have it so much better than most." I raised an eyebrow.
"I can't date anyone or even get close to them, I can't have kids for the fear that they'll be like me, and on top of that, my own family wants to kill me because they think I'm a monster! Also, I'm very close to losing my best friend, so, forgive me for having it 'so much better'." Remus watched me with sad eyes.
"I-" I cut him off.
"Look, I'm just a little pissed that no one understands what I'm going through."
"I know Leo. I just don't know how we can." I shrugged, shooting him a smile.
"It's alright Remus, I'm used to it by now." He stared at me for a second before I stood up.
"Elaine. A flight lesson?" She didn't look happy about the prospect, but she stood nonetheless, and I followed her out the door.
"So where are we going?" She asked a few minutes later, and I raised an eyebrow at her.
"I told you. Flight lesson."
(A/N): So, what did you think?
I know there's a lot of petty fighting going on, but it's important.
