“Better off with…her?” Tracey couldn’t even say the name. Scoffing, she shook her head. “When you cast me off, there was no one in the picture. But…I ruined that. Now I have nothing. I have my job I hate, I have no friends, people either despite or pity me and the only affection I get is from a girl who shags me once in a while and makes me feel like shite for it.”
Tracey shook her head. It was so ridiculous to her. They could have their time together even if Sara lived a lie the rest of the time. Sure there would be loneliness and hardships but they would at least have a few hours once in a while to be truly happy. “So, we both have just a sliver of happiness when we are together because you don’t trust yourself?”
“I want you to be you. Before anything happened at Hogwarts, I thought you were so bloody cool and smart and strong. I liked you…I loved you. I really did. I still like you…I just…want you to like me.” Tracey choked back tears.
“I can’t…keep doing this,” Tracey said, sobbing once before stifling it as she looked away.
