I leaned my head against the old tree by the lake, watching the water ripple as the squid splashed around. My opinion has changed so much about this place over the years. Liking it when Riyann and I were okay and despising it when weren't. Which was why I had no clue as to why I was there today. We were, more or less, over. At least right now. Neither of us said so, but I knew as soon as I got home from leaving to see her gone. She was probably with Shelby. A person who I definately had no desire in seeing right now. But if I did, oh well. I was here, so I guess I was basically asking for it to see her or someone from her family.
I'd been miserable the last day or two, ever since she left. This was all my fault and right now I couldn't decide if it was for the better or not.
[[ yay for crappyness! lol ]]

Shell was walking the grounds today, seeing as it was the last day of the term and she was trying to round up all the students before the train left. Her seven that were at school were in her office already with their trunks and pets. Once reaching the lake, she notices someone leaning against the tree, just looking out over the lake and smiles a bit.
"Hey. The train is leaving soon. You have to go and get on before...-" Shell sighs putting a hand through her hair and backing a bit away. She wasn't sure if Riley was going to yell, attack her, or even use physical strengh against her but she wasn't too keen in finding out. "Umm. I'll just go." she whispers, walking backwards a bit more.
[[hahaha... so is mine.]]

[[ hahaha, nah, it was okay ^^ ]]
I heard footsteps behind me and I turned my head as I saw and heard Shelby behind me. I watched as she backed away, comtemplating whether or not to talk to her. I just looked away from her, not moving, unsure of how to react around her. "How's Riyann?" I asked quietly as I looked out at the lake. I was calm right now and I was hoping it was going to stay that way, which greatly helped if I didn't look at her.

Shell sighs again, biting her lip deciding for now that Riley wasn't going to do anything to her so she sits down on the grass to his side but so he couldn't look at her still. "She's fine. Still crying over you and the girls. But she's fine still." she whispers, biting her again before she started playing with the blades of grass. "H-how are you?" she asks softly looking to the ground.

I heard her sit down, still keeping my eyes off her. It was bad enough just having to listen to her. "I didn't tell her to leave you know.. I said I'd be back." I said quietly, leaning against the tree again, crossing my arms infront of my chest. "I'm shitty." I said answering her question when she asked me how I was. "Pretty much anyway."
I didn't want to hear that Riyann was crying over me and the girls, but I didn't really want to hear that she was extremely happy with Shelby either. Then again, I really wasn't thinking very clearly now, but I didn't want her to be crying.

Shell nods, knowing this already. When she came over that night, she was in tears and held her as she explained how the fight went on and on. She sighs lightly, figuring that as well. How else would he feel? His wife was in love with her and Riley and she said that she loved Shelby more and that she'd leave him for her. Shell never thought that she'd actually go through with it.
"I'm sorry Riley. I didn't mean for this to happen," again... "But I know we both want Riyann to be happy right?" she asks softly, plucking a piece of grass and splitting it in half repeatedly so she had something to do, besides explain her self for now.

I stayed silent as she said she was sorry and just shook my head faintly. I didn't want to accept that apology. Maybe after a few more weeks.. or maybe a month.. or if Riyann never comes back, then I don't know how long.
"Happy? And so I guess she wasn't happy at all with me then?" I asked, shooting a glare in her direction before turning away from her again.

Shell glares back at him before shaking her head.
He's just mad, don't let your temper loose control, don't do it...
"Obviously Riley. And apparently I can make her happy." she smirks lightly even though he wasn't looking at her.
Yeah, good job Shell on controlling your temper.

I shot another look back to her, watching her smirk, taking in a deep breath and holding it for a moment before turning away from her again, trying to keep my calm. But greatly feeling like I'd like to hit something right now. "Fuck you." I said not really loudly, but not really quietly either, just shaking my head a little as I tried to hold myself back. "I don't need this right now."

Shell raises an eyebrow just shaking her head a bit. "No thanks, that's what Riyann and I are planning to do later, mostly all night long as well." she laughs slightly, pretending to pout now. "Aww, I'm sorry that you don't. But now that I think about it, I'm not."

Nearly as soon as she finished speaking I glared over to her again, pushing her to the ground from where we were sitting, raising my fist to hit her, before stopping myself. I wanted to so badly, but I held myself back before I actually hit her and stopped. I shook my head slightly to myself agian and moved off her leaning against the tree again. "Bitch."

Shell screams, wincing immediately clenching her eyes as much as she could. Expecting to be hit in any moment she opens her eyes once she felt him move off her and back to the tree. She sits up a bit just staring at him in disbelief. He had never done that to her nor anyone that she knew of. However the shock fades quickly, glaring at him again. "I don't care Riley. It's not my fault that you lost your wife to a woman. Tells you what kind of man you are, a pathetic one who can't keep her happy."

I automactically wanted to hit her again after what she said and just shook my head again closing my eyes for a moment, feeling my fists clench. "Just leave me alone Shelby."

"What, I'm just enjoying the lake like you are Riley." she says with a shrug, simply smiling out to the lake. "I heard that you kissed Arden. I suppose you two could now get married after the divorce. So then we're all happy." she shrugs lightly again.

I shook my head again, frowning slightly more now that I had been talking to her. "We're not getting a divorce." At least that I know of.. Right now, I wish that Shelby would be leave me alone. I had no idea how I put up with her over the years and right now I was realising just how much I hated her.

"Really now? That's not what she was telling me last night. She has the papers already, just needs your signature and that's that." she says with a nod. "Like I said, it's a win win situation. You get Arden and I get Riyann."

I looked over again. "She never said anything to me about that.." I said feeling my heart break more than it already was. I wondered for a moment if she was lying, which I really wouldn't put past her right now. "Will you stop saying that?" I said a little louder.

"What I'm just making some suggestions for you Riley. Or maybe you can flirt with Kyra instead?" she shrugs lightly standing up and walking over to the tree, leaning against it.

"And you're being a coldhearted bitch." I said feeling her move closer to me and wanting to move further away. It had only been a couple days and I wasn't going to be doing that.

"And you're a cheating manwhore, so we're even." she says with a shrug looking at him with a raised eyebrow. "Do you really think you moving away from me is gonna make things better for you?"

I ignored her comment and just shook my head a little. "I didn't say anything about moving."

She shrugs lightly. "Well then you don't mind me sitting down then?" she asks not waiting for a response and sitting down next to him to see what he would do with a smile as if she never did anything to him.

"I'd rather you didn't." I said as she sat down, looking back out at the lake.

"Too late I guess Riley." she says with another shrug, leaning against the tree. "So, what are you going to do now, being single and all soon?"

I didn't speak for a moment. "I'm not signing any papers.. Me and Riyann just need a break maybe..."

"Well, I think she wants a permanent break from you." she says shaking her head. "Why don't you want her to be happy Riley?" she asks softly looking over to him.

"I do want her happy." I said shaking my head. "I just don't want her with you."

"Well, once again that's not the case Riley. She wants to be with me, not you." she says softly still. "I'm sorry but it's the truth."

"Will you just leave me the fuck alone and stop rubbing it in my face?" I asked looking over to her. ".. I don't know what anybody sees in you."

She winces softly just staring at her hands. "I don't know either but people that fall in love with me tend to say that I'm smart, kind, beautiful, pretty much anything and everything they've ever wanted. But to be honest, I don't see any of that but they do. Ask your wife." she says still in the same tone.
