"Elena, will you just please ask her to come out?"

Elena frowned at her friend's boyfriend. Zara had obviously been upset lately, and she hadn't realized Braden was the cause until she'd found him waiting outside the entrance to Slytherin. "I don't know if that's a good idea."

"I just want to talk to her. It's important. Please?"

Elena sighed, eyeing him for a moment, before nodding. "Alright, fine. But only this once."

"Thanks, Elena."

So she ascended the stairs to the seventh year girls' dormitory and pulled open the door. "Zara," she said with a weak smile. "Your boyfriend has been sitting outside for an hour begging people to go get you for him. Don't suppose you'd be willing to go down a see him?"

The expression on her face was hurt, that wasn't what she had said! She'd said she didn't know how to fix things. It hurt that he'd just said that, she didn't know if he'd said just because he was hurt, or if maybe there was just something more. Everything was just messed up.

"That's not what I said." She said, her voice giving him a frustrated look. "I love you. Did you completely miss that?" She said shaking her head.

"Maybe we do need time apart, I don't know. I don't know how to fix things."

Braden saw the hurt on her face, but his own prevented him from moving to her and holding her close. She loved him, but she didn't want to be with him.

He wanted to punch someone, to break something, to scream, but he didn't. He just shoved his hand back into his pocket and muttered. "Yeah, okay. Then... we're... not together." His fists were clenched inside his pants. "I'm... going to go now."

Zara's face turned to a frustrated one. Did she say she wanted things to just end? She said they might need time to figure it out... and that she didn't know... The key was that she didn't know. Zara didn't have a clue how to figure any of it out... And he wasn't exactly being helpful with it.

"Fine, if it is that simply to you, I wont stop you." She said crossing her arms. Zara had to hold herself back from crying. She could feel her heart breaking. She wanted to wrap her arms around him and cry, but no, he just had just decided that they weren't together anymore. So that was that.

"What do you want me to say, Zara?" he snapped, finally showing anger toward her for what was the first time in their relationship and likely hte first time in their entire friendship. "I know what that means- 'I have to think about things'. 'We should have some time apart'. You keep saying I'm looking for someone more exciting, but I'm not. I'm not the one who thinks he needs something better. You are, and you don't even realize it, do you?"

He kept his distance from her. "I'm not going to sit around and wait for you to realize it, Zara. I'm sorry."

Zara flinched when he snapped. She looked only at him, as much as she wanted to look away she just wouldn't let herself. "I don't know how to stop feeling like you deserve better, okay? If that isn't how it is, sorry, but it is how I feel. Which apparently how I feel isn't fair or make sense." She snapped.

"Fine. If that's all...." She said trying not to feel like crap.

	"No, Zara," he said softly. "What I feel isn't fair." With his hands still in fists, he turned from her and headed down the corridor, head down. He didn't know what he was going to do now, but he didn't think he was going to like it much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Walk away." She said shaking her head turning to go back into the common room, Zara ran up to her dorm room this was just great. It was really painful. Zara couldn't exactly think, or feel. She wasn't sure she'd be able to even do anything. That conversation hadn't gone how she wanted it to. (Reply to this) (Parent)
