I sat down at a small table at the Leaky Culdron by myself. I hadn't signed the divorce papers that Riyann gave to me a few days ago.. actually, I hadn't even opened the envelope that they were in. All I did was stare at it. The past three days going by with the envelope just sitting my bedside table. Untouched, but definately never forgotten.
I sighed heavily as I opened the white envelope I was holding in my hands, pulling the papers out of it and setting them down on the table after unfolding the neatly creased papers. I smoothed them down infront of me, keeping my eyes on them. I wanted this. I was the one who broke it off with her. I can honestly say that I never would have thought that would have happend. The thought really never crossed my mind that something would happen that would cause me to do something like this, but I guess I finally reached my breaking point. I was sick of being hurt and she finally did something horrible enough that I couldn't be with her anymore.
I've never felt so sad and betrayed in my life. My wife, who I loved more than anything, killed my sister. I didn't know the reasons, but I wasn't sure if I even wanted to anymore.
That was when I ordered a firewhiskey. I wasn't planning on getting drunk, but I think that this situation called for a drink. Even after Riyann killed Lilian, I had to admit that I still, in fact, was in love with her. And that's why this whole things hurt all the more worse. If I was going to sign this today, I needed something to take the edge off things.
I felt a cold breeze blow over me and I didn't even bother to glance up as I heard the door shut. Someone walked in the bar, but I didn't really care who at the moment and just kept my eyes on the paper until someone came over with my firewhiskey.
"Thanks.." I muttered with a faint half smile to the woman before picking it up and taking a drink of it.
"This is what I wanted..." I murmured to myself, staring back down at the very neatly signed set of papers just waiting for me to sign them. |

I walk into The Leaky Cauldron, after shopping with my daughters, And buy a Butterbeer. Then sat at a table waiting patiently for it. i had dropped off my daughters with there dad so i could have some quiet time. I pulled out my sketchbook to Draw something i saw earlier in the day, it was still fresh in my mind. my butterbeer was given to me a little while later and when i looked up i saw Riley sitting by himself. He seemed sad in some way, I frowned and got up and walked over to him. "Hey Riley, you okay?" i asked him from behind. "You seem upset." i add.
(sorry its kinda short)

[[ that's alright  ]] I heard a voice from behind me and setting down my firewhiskey, I tore my eyes off the papers and looked behind me. Seeing Laken there, I shrugged slightly giving her a sad looking half smile. "You could say that.." I told her quietly with another slightly shrug. "Everything ends eventually, right?" I asked glancing back to the papers. I picked them up and waved them for a second, just bascially showing her what I meant by what I said. I was pretty upset, but maybe this whole thing was for the better. |

I smile in a sad way when he shows me the papers. "not everything has to end." i say sitting down across from him. "not if you really don't want it to, you can keep it if you try hard enough." i add. "if i don't want something to end i try my hardest to make sure it doesn't." i smile.

I shrugged a little bit, "I was the one who asked for this.. it's what I wanted." I said glancing up to her again. "I just don't know what I want anymore.. I'm pretty sure I have to do this though..." I nodded faintly staring at her signiture a bit longer before taking another drink of my firewhiskey.

"If you really do want it to end then you should let it, then if you change your mind then you could talk to her about it," "but if you still love her and that's why your hesitating to sign the papers then you shouldn't sign them." i add "and you should definitely not be getting drunk when you have a serious decision to make." i add after he takes a drink.

"I'm not getting drunk.." I told her first, shaking my head a little bit as I set down my firewhiskey. "I just need to relax a little bit." I added as I looked over to her. "One firewhiskey's not gonna do much.."
".. I do love her.." I started looking at the papers, "But I think she's finally..." I trailed off, shaking my head slightly, "I just.. I can't be with her." I said quietly, ending my sentance a slightly more hushed voice than I started it, all the time keeping my eyes on the neat handwriting.

I shrug. "i guess, i wouldn't know if it would." i say.
"Maybe , since you love her, you could split for a while, not forever, and kind of relax, think things over, and then after a while talk over if you want to get back together." i say. "i mean if you both love each other but cant be with each other right now, then maybe you shouldn't right now, but once you've thought about what you really want for a while then you could get back together, i mean if you want to." i add

I Shrugged faintly, "If I was you, I wouldn't find out how many takes, it's unpleasant." I told her shaking my head a little bit, talking about the firewhiskey. "Then again, you probably aren't really thinking about that when you're doing it.." I sighed slgithly, picking it up and taking another drink of it, feeling it burn as it went down my throat.
"It's.. I don't know if a few weeks or months is going to solve this.." I told her looking at the papers and then to her again. ".. Plus, even if I did change my mind.. I don't think she would take me back."
Did I even want her to take me back? I really didn't know what I wanted; This was way too difficult to really know. I shouldn't want to be with her, not after what she did.

"i wouldn' try it ever, alcohol is gross." i say scrunching my nose slightly.
"Oh, okay, what happened then." i say "did you do something that would make her not want you back?" i ask, then realize that might seem rude.

I chuckled faintly, "Yeah.. it is pretty grosse." I told her with a faint smile and nod.
She asked her next question and I looked down to the table, at my hands for a moment. "Um.. no, other way around actually.. but... I don't know.. I'm just pretty sure that she wouldn't."

"then why do you drink it?" i tilt my head to the side slightly, with a small grin.
"oh," i say, and see i seem to have upset him. "I'm sorry." i say.

I laughed a little bit witha small grin, "That's a very good question, Laken.." I told her looking back up to her from the table.
I shook my head a little bit. "I'd tell you the reason, but I don't think I should be talking about it.." I told her with a faint nod. "It's okay."

"That's not why I started." I said chuckling faintly with a small shrug. "Maybe for some people it's the case though.. I don't know."
"Thanks... and yeah.. I guess so." I told her with a faint smile. "... You got anything?"

"um... i have 3 daughters." i smile "what about you." i ask

"Well, when I started, I liked the fact that I didn't have to think about what was happening.. and the taste grows on you after a while." I shrugged a little bit, looking down at the drink I had in my hand, swirling it around a little bit in the bottle.
"That's nice.." I smiled. "I have two daughters and a son."

I shrugged a little, "Understandable.. and yeah, probably not the best.. but i really don't drink it much anymore.. I don't even keep it in the house."
I smiled, "The girls are Ariella and Charlotte and my son is Justin."

I smiled and nodded, "Nope.. just occasionally.." I said glancing down at the bottle again.
"Thanks.." I smiled back to her. "Those're good names." I added a moment after she told me what her's were named. "What's that?" I asked with a soft chuckle.

I smiled and nodded a little bit, "Yeah.. wouldn't be good if I did it all the time. But even if I wanted to, I really have the time." I said with a small shrug.
"You're welcome." I smiled, seeing her ruffle her hair.
I smiled, "That is a really pretty name." I told her with a slgiht nod.
