Tired. Depressed. Bored.
Those were basically the three things that I was right now. Depressed because of Riyann, tired because I was depressed and bored because I was tired. Which was the main reason I was laying on the couch with most the lights in the house turned off. Drifting in and out of sleep probably for the past hour. The tea didn't help and I tried to read but that didn't help too much either, so I resulted to doing nothing.
The girl's were at my parents again. They offered to take them for the day just so I could have some time to myself. And this's what I did with it. Absolutely nothing. I sighed and got up walking over to the kitchen, flipping on the light and looking around. I didn't really want tea and I know I didn't want coffee. So, tired of thinking, I made another mug of tea and walked back into the living room, turning on another light and picking up my book again. Maybe it would work the second time.

You have to do this. It's what your heart is saying and you have to Shelby.
Staring at Riley's door, she sighs for the fifth time already, dreading this talk she had to go through with her least favorite cousin. She was sure that if he could get away with it, he'd kill her on the spot and hating her beyond belief. After all, they once did fight on the same team against her father.
Finally knocking on the door, she scoots back some feeling her hand instantly drop to her wand just in case if he would do something to her. Hey, Shell didn't know how he was feeling or what he planned the next time if they ran into each other. She sighs after a moment not hearing any footsteps and kicks the door out of frustration. "I come all the way over here and he's not home. That's great, just grea-... Hey Riley." she mutters, dropping her glaze to the floor. "Can I come in, I have to talk to you about something important."

I turned the page in the book when I heard a knock on the door. I sighed slightly wondering who it could be and finsihed a sentance I was reading before shutting the book and setting it on the table. I was just nearing the front door when I heard another noise. Distinctly sounding like someone kicking it.
I raised my eyebrows and opened the door to find Shelby talking to herself before turning to me and saying hi and asking if she could come inside. I wanted to say no, but I guess there wasn't too much hurt in letting her inside.
"Here to take my kids now too?" I asked looking at her and stepping back a little bit, leaving the door open for her. I didn't even have my wand on me and ignored the one I saw in her hand. "You want anything to drink?" I asked her quietly. I guess I could try to be pleasant to her. Even if I really didn't want to.

"N-no, I'm not Riley." she says softly biting her lip and walking in. "I'm guessing they hate me now as well seeing as Riyann went over to my place." Shell adds walking over to the couch and sitting down. She didn't blame him one bit for being so bitter. The only problem was to see if she could control her temper today at least.
"S-some tea or water would be fine really... thanks." she whispers just as soft, before finally looking up at him with a frown. "I'm here for two reasons Riley. Riyann and to apologize to you for what I've done to you... again." she adds letting out a deep sigh before closing her eyes and opening them again to look at her folded hands.

"I haven't fully explained anything yet." I said quietly, shaking my head a little bit. "So, no, they don't fully hate you.."
I nodded slightly, walking into the kitchen and heating up the water again with my wand before making another mug of tea for her. A moment later I came back in and handed her the mug. "It's hot." I said quietly.
"What about Riyann?" I asked looking over to her. "And an apology would be nice.." I said with a small nod, leaning against the wall and crossing my arms infront of me.

Shell sighs, taking the mug and taking a small sip from it. "Riley... I. I'm sorry. I mean it, sincerely sorry for what I've done and. And I don't love her as much as Draven. And I just have a feeling she loves you more. You two are perfect for each other..." she says softly feeling a couple tears pouring down her face. She still loved her deeply, it was just she loved Draven more. And the fact that Riley was right, she was being selfish and had her chance at love enough times already.

I heard her sigh and kept my eyes on her as she started talking. I glanced down to the floor after a moment before looking back up to her. The only reason this was happening was becasue she realised that she loved Draven more, and I was pretty convinced she wasn't actually sorry about Riyann, but I still listened to her. I knew that she at least wanted me to think she was sorry and I'm sure it took a lot for her come here and say that.
"Thanks." I said with a small nod, looking up to her after a moment. "Thank you." I said again.
"Too bad, I don't think Riyann wants me." I said turning around and walking into the living room and picking up my tea again.

Shell nods lightly, "Your welcome, but I know you probably will still hate me. But I do know how much you love her Riley and I know you two are right for each other. Riyann and I... it just doesn't work... Even if I wished it did.
"But I'm sure she loves you more. She hasn't been the same since we left Riley and that's the truth."

"Just give me time." I said with a small nod to her and then nodding a little bit again. "Thanks.. I hope so.." I said sitting down on the couch, taking sip of my tea.
"I don't know.. she hasn't made up her mind yet.. she told me yesterday. Not to mention she just can't believe that I trust her."

"Well, can't really blame her in her perspective. I never thought Jay could trust me again but he did...
And then he cheats on you with your best friend.
"But just give her time, show her that you still trust her even after this whole thing." she nods faintly.

"Then what do I have to do?" I asked looking over to her. "How the hell do I show her that I trust her?" I was honestly clueless.

"I don't know Riley. Take her back, not mentioning any of this and forgive her. That's the best I can think of. I can talk to her if you want. I swear on my broomstick, quidditch trophey and my life that it will be just talking." Shell nods with a faint smile.

I looked over to her, not smiling back. I still didn't like any mentioning of it, even if it was her saying she wasn't going to. "Thanks.. well, I feel like I've already done all of that and telling her that I trust her isn't working. She just won't believe me."

"Then I have no clue Riley. You just gotta think of a way to get her to believe that you trust her. Maybe when she comes back, don't get suspicious if we go out with the girls for lunch, or she just comes over without telling you until she gets home." she suggests, shrugging a bit. Shell had a feeling that Riley wasn't going to like her idea much, but it was the only thing she could think of.

I nodded slightly, setting my mug down. I wasn't completely comfortable with her suggestions and I wondered if maybe I didn't trust her as much as I thoguht I did, or that I just didn't want to lose her again so soon. "I guess..." I said with asmall nod, geting a headache.

Shell looks over to him and frowns. "You love her don't you? More than anything else right? You would do anything in the world for her?" she asks already knowing the answer but she was trying to prove a point.

"Then you have to trust her when she comes over to my house or if we're alone somewhere Riley. Just because we're not doing anything like that anymore doesn't mean we won't be friends, although I'm sure you'd be happy if we weren't." she adds with a sigh. "But I know she loves you more and I don't want to be hurt anymore."

I nodded slightly, "I know." I said quietly, rubbing my head slightly as I leaned back on the couch with my arms crossed infront of me. I had to admit that, yeah, I would be pretty happy if they weren't. I nodded slightly, "I hope so.."

Shell sighs standing up and walking over to the door. "Seeing as I'm not welcome here, I'll leave. See you around maybe." she shrugs lightly. Right at this point, if he was still gonna be stubborn after admitting she wrong and everything else she wouldn't care if she ever seen him again.

"Well, I rather not sit here being hated." she says with a sigh. "I know you do Riley, hate me. So I'll just leave you be."

"The hate's lessend.." I said with a small shrug. "It means a lot that you apoligised. I'm just being an arse becuase I've had a hard week.. But you can leave if you want. No one's making you though." I said, standing up and walking over to the ktichen so I could dump out the tea I had left.

"Just don't know what else to say really Riley. I'm not good with awkward silences." she says softly still keeping her hand on the doorhandle but turns around slightly so she could watch him go into the kitchen.

I took a couple ibprofen in the kitchen before walking back over to her and nodding a little at what she said. "Understandable.. I'm not either.." I said with a small nod and sigh. Not being able to help but start thinking that what ifs. What if even though Shelby tells her to come back to me, she decides she loves Shelby more? Then what would she do? She said she needed more time and being told that she should come back to me isn't really making up her mind for herself.
