She sat in the back of the large room of the Hogs head. Unnoticed by the crowds of dancing people, too drunk to care about a girl like her. She wore a low cut black tank top with a white jacket and light blue jeans. Her hair was straight and hung down her back and shoulders. She appeared sad.
But of course she would be sad. Sky Mason had come here to wait for somebody. To do something that found so hard to do. She was afraid to cry because she loved him. But not enough. It just didn't work out. She leaned back in her worn, red leather booth and sighed. Please let him show up soon. She thought.
((Is it okay if I join or are you waiting for someone in paticular?))
(Er..let the person reply first, then you can)
Virgil walked through Hogsmead with his black shoes treading through the snow and his hands in his pocket, as he moved from building to building, he finally reached the Hogs Head. His black cloak dragged the ground as he walked in to see Sky sitting at a table looking sad.
He walked around the croud of dancing people, as he sat across from her, and asked "What did you want to talk to me about?" and sat quietly.
Sky looked at him and gently tapped her fingers against the table, looking at the wall. She sighed yet again then looked back at him. "Virgil..I don't know how to tell you this." She whispered. "And it's really hard for me to say it."
Virgil's facial expressions dropped down quickly, as he knew what was coming next, but hoping his first instinct was wrong. "Wha-what did you have to say?" he asked quietly.
Sky took in a deep breath and reached across the table to take Virgil's hand. She gently wrapped hers around his. They felt cold from the weather. "I...I think we should...just be friends." She nearly whispered, looking into his eyes. Her eyes stung but no tears.
Virgil's eyes widened as he looked at Sky, speechless, not thinking this day would ever come. I guess it's for the best.. he thought to himself, as he looked at Sky and said "Ok. But just one question, why?" as he wondered why this had to come to an end.
Oh Crap. Sky thought. Oh F**king Crap. She pulled her hand away. "It's just that..well...." She felt nervous. Her stomach did knots. She stood up, tears streaming down her cheeks as she took a small piece of rolled up parchment from her pocket. She set it on the table infront of Virgil and ran out the door without another word.
Virgil watched her bolt out the door as he was mildly shocked and unable to move as he could not seem to move after her, no matter how much he wanted to.
The note had unrolled itself as it was sat down. It read:
Dear Virgil,
I'm really really sorry. Beyond sorry. But things just aren't working out. We barely see each other...and we're slowly losing a connection. I don't know. I didn't mean for this to happen.
Sky<3
-----------
Sky didn't know how far she ran. She just stopped outside an animal shop to catch her breath. She didn't mean to start drama, but she couldn't help crying..getting nervous like she did. She kicked the snow and sat down on a bench, pulling her knees up and laying her head on her arms.
Virgil looked at the note on the table, as he picked it up, and read it. He closed his fist as he slammed it down on the table, and his head fell onto his arm. d**n.... I really messed up this time... he thought to himself.
Sky sighed and looked up. Snow was sprinkling down everywhere. She wiped her eyes with her hand. "This is all my fault." She said. She put her head back down. She should just let herself freeze here. What if she made a mistake?
Nate was walking in the snow, kicking the snow playfully with his convers. HIs hands slid in his black sweatshirts pocket when he noticed and felt that something wasnt right. He looked around trying to find what was out of place, he jerked his head to see sky on a bench looking very upset. He sat right next to her sitting quietly and then looked at her sadly,"Whats a matter," he asked in a slight whisper.
Sky didn't look at him. "I just broke up with my boyfriend." She said, her voice muffled by her arms.
"And I feel terrible. He looked really sad." She had quit crying now. She sat up slowly and pushed a piece of hair out of her eyes.
Nate put his arm around Skys shoulder giving her comfort,"Its alright, i understand."
Sky gave him a small smile. "Thank you Nate." She said quietly.
Nate said with a soft smooth voice," Its your choice if you dont think you two were meant to be."
"I hate relationships. They never work out." She swiped her hand across the flat surface of the top of the bench, getting the snow off.
Nate looked at her and said trying to cheer her up,"Hey you wanna get drunk?" He said joking.
((May I join? Feel free to decline))
((Sure Sure.))
Sky laughed and wiped her eyes one last time. "Yeah. I haven't done that yet." She said. "It's on my list of things."
Stacey had been walking around, doing nothing, when she saw Sky. She walked over to her. "Are you okay?" She asked, even though she could read Nate`s thoughts.
"Yeah..." She said looking at her. "Yeah I guess so."
Stacey sat down on the other side of Sky, glancing at Nate. "I understand how you`re feeling."
Jackie appeared out of the woods and gazed at Sky. "Are you alright Sky?" She questioned, concerned.
Sky heard Jackie and Stacey ask her if she were alright. Was she? No. In fact, her heart sorta ached. She was the one who broke up with Virgil, but it still hurt. But she would be okay...in time. She stood up without a word to anyone, not Nate..not Jackie..not Stacey, and started walking down the icy walk, the cold wind blowing roughly against her cheeks.
Nate looked at Sky and then at Stacey and Jackie. Nate said in a soft voice,"Maybe one of you or both of you guys should go talk to her. Ive tried to help her but i think she just needs her friends right now."
(well when i said both doesnt that mean two? ;D)
((Yeah. Sorry I deleted my post. But I meant...oh never mind.))
(haha alright. )
Jackie swiftly caught up and kept pace with Sky. "Mind telling me what happened? Or am I just going to have to do nothing, while my friend is miserable?" She questioned with a slight attempt an cheering Sky up.
Sky looked straight ahead, still walking. "It's nothing. I'll be fine." She paused for a short moment. "It's...just a breakup. Nobody died." She said, trying to make it sound simple.
"You sure make it sound like someone did." Jackie pointed out. Then she thought quietly to herself. "Why?" She asked out loud, she wasn't one to think before asking.
"Well I'm sorry. Next time I break it off with somebody, I'll be sure not to be upset about it." She said sarcastically and looked away. What if there wasn't a somebody? She might grow old...alone...with 43 cats. Oh Gosh..not like those muggle cat ladies.
"Oh, sorry." Jackie snapped, before immediatly softening her expression and listening to Sky's thoughts. Then she broke into her cat thoughts. *Don't think that! Your way too awesom for any guy not to see that! And if you had to break it off, then he just wasn't right for you.*
Sky turned so suddenly, the must have been a slight breeze against Jackie from her swiftness. Sky's eyes were staring at Jackie, full of anger. She clenched her fist tightly for a moment.
"I'm so sick of people reading my thoughts. It's rude and an invasion of privacy." Sky said quietly, but her words harsh. "I suggest that you stay out of my head, or else feel the wrath of on obliviating spell." She slowly unclenched her fist, but her jaw was tightened and her eyes closed momentarily. This fit of anger had nothing to do with the breakup, but Sky was so sick of the mind reading.
"Hey! Sorry." Jackie said putting her hands up in a surrendering motion, and putting on her best sad puppy dog face. Which was quite impressive if she said so herself, she looked like a five year old, being how physically small she was and her eyes shining with pleading. "I promise I won't anymore. But I don't think you'll ever be a muggle cat lady." Jackie said with a stifled giggle.
Sky snorted and couldn't help but laugh. This scene was rather..humorous. She sighed. "Sorry. It just gets...old. I can't walk around the castle without somebody hearing my thoughts and It's uncomfortable." She tried to give her a reassuring smile, but feared it backfired.
