"I feel like a horrible person. I know she likes me. A lot. And she trusts me," he said, sickened with himself. "But I don't know if I feel the same."

**Narcissa Black** April 10th 2010, 7:05 pm

"Well," Narcissa smiled. "That always seems to be the problem with relationships at first!" she stopped suddenly, looking at Regulus carefully. "But I have a feeling that isn't even the beginning of this, is it?"

[I have a feeling this will be very similar to our Skype conversation Cissy]

Guest April 10th 2010, 7:07 pm

[You will not drag it out of him. He would rather die. Don't even try, or he'll probably just hate you.]

"I don't know. I feel like I'm leading her on, and I don't want to do that. And sometimes when I'm with her, she makes me really happy, but other times, I just feel sick, and want to get away. I don't understand it, at all. I mean, I know I like her, and care about her, a lot. I just don't know that I can return her feelings," he said sadly. "I'm such a jerk."

**Narcissa Black** April 10th 2010, 7:13 pm

[Alright, I won't ]

"Ouch," she leaned against a wall and sighed. "I mean... Have you talked to her about it or anything? I understand that you don't want to hurt her, but... being blunt and telling her will most likely hurt her less than leading her on. I mean, if I were in Dee's shoes, I think that I'd rather be able to be with someone who really and truly loves me all the way, not just some of the time." she frowned. "I'm sorry, Reg. And you aren't a jerk; you can't help it. You don't want to hurt her."

Guest April 10th 2010, 7:16 pm

"No, I don't want to hurt her. And I promised her I wouldn't, I promised I'd be good to her, take care of her, and not leave her. I'm so stupid, Cissa. And her sister will kill me if I do break up with her," he said.

**Narcissa Black** April 10th 2010, 7:20 pm

"Oh dear... Reg, that must be awfully tough on you! I mean, unless you wanted to invest in a bodyguard or make her break up with you, then..." she looked at him, concerned. "What have you thought of doing? Besides sticking it out, that is."

Guest April 10th 2010, 7:22 pm

"I have no bloody idea," he admitted, shoving his hands in his pockets and twitching nervously.

**Narcissa Black** April 10th 2010, 7:25 pm

Cissy stared at her feet, biting her bottom lip. "Well, is there any way I could help? You know, that bodyguard idea might not be so bad..." she suggested a bit playfully to try and lighten him up.

Guest April 10th 2010, 7:26 pm

"Heh," he said, trying to laugh and failing. "I don't think so, Cissa. Please, just don't tell anyone. I don't want her to find out any other way, but from me," he said. I bet Sirius never had this problem. And if he did, he's enough of a jerk to not give a damn about hurting a girl. I wish I was as tough as he was.

**Narcissa Black** April 10th 2010, 7:32 pm

"My lips are sealed! Honestly, as if I would ever tell anyone! Have some faith in me, Regulus!" she leaned against a wall. "I mean, you kinda deserve that right, you know? It's none of my business, anyways."

Guest April 10th 2010, 8:00 pm

[Shit. I forgot to respond. Fail. I was waiting on you.]

Regulus sighed, and turned away. "I guess so. Thank you, Cissa. For listening," he said with a sad smile. He didn't understand Sirius sometimes, sure, mother and father never got along with him, but the rest of them weren't so bad. Narcissa wasn't. Bella, he could understand hating. But what about him? What about Regulus? Where did he go wrong, and do something to make Sirius hate him too? He just wished he knew, so he could make things right again. "I should go. Class."

**Narcissa Black** April 10th 2010, 8:05 pm

[It's fine~]

She smiled, a bit sadly. "Alright, Regulus. But, honestly, even if I give horrible advice, please come to me if I can help." She didn't want him to drift away from her. Family was important to her, as were friends, and she could only hope Regulus understood that she did really want to help him. She hugged him quickly and walked away.

Guest April 10th 2010, 8:07 pm

Regulus leaves, thinking about everything, Narcissa, Dee, and... Viktor? What was happening to him? What were these feelings, these horribly wrong feelings? Why did he spend all day dreaming about Viktor, when he'd see him next, and Dee never crossing his mind? A part of him was starting to suspect the answer, but he just couldn't face it. It couldn't be true. He didn't want to be such a freak.

**Daphne Greengrass** April 11th 2010, 9:23 pm

[Okay. I'm going to get more ice. Be back in a minute or so.]

Guest April 11th 2010, 9:25 pm

[ice?]

Regulus walks here after talking to Cormac, feeling horrible about what he had to do. He leans against the wall and waits for Dee.

**Daphne Greengrass** April 11th 2010, 9:27 pm

[Yeah. For my multiple injuries.]

Dee walks over, not really sure what he needed to say. "Hi, there."

Guest April 11th 2010, 9:29 pm

[how'd you get them?]

Regulus looks at Dee and already feels even worse. "Dee," he says softly, giving her a big hug. There's no easy way to do this. I may as well just tell her straight out. "Dee... There's no way to say this, without hurting you, and you hating me, so I'm just gonna say it. This isn't gonna work. Us. Me. You. It can't," he said quietly as he let go of her. He couldn't even bring himself to look her in the eye.

**Daphne Greengrass** April 11th 2010, 9:34 pm

[Lax. I'm the goalie. Somehow I managed to save everything with my body instead of my stick, and the pads weren't being very friendly today. I'm getting bruises on my knee, ankle, boob, arm, stomach, thigh. I got hit in the head too. Thank god I have a helmet. At least we won by eight.]

"What? And why is that?" She backs away. "I think I deserve an explanation... You owe me that much."

[Now run off or something and leave her confused.]

Guest April 11th 2010, 9:39 pm

[Give me a minute dammit Dee]

Regulus stared at her, looking utterly dismal. "I... I can't, Dee. I can't. Please. This isn't your fault, it's all my fault, all of it. I care about you, so much, I really do, and I think you're a wonderful person. But that's why this can't work. You deserve somebody else, someone better than me, you deserve the best, alright? I wish I could give you what you need, but I, I just can't, and I'm sorry it took me so long to realize that, I am. Please, Dee, don't be upset about this, alright? I know you hate me, so much right now, and I deserve it for this, but just know that I never meant for this to happen, I wanted to be good for you, I did, but I just can't. Merlin, I'm so sorry, Dee, more sorry than I've ever been in my life, about something I did. I've done you wrong. I deserve nothing less than for you to hate me forever," he said, forcing himself to meet her eyes. "I'm sorry, Dee."

**Daphne Greengrass** April 11th 2010, 9:45 pm

"You're sorry," she repeats. "You can't explain why though." She felt dumb. She felt ignorant. She didn't even know what to say. "Then why are you still here?"

[I really don't know what to say. *needs coffee*

Guest April 11th 2010, 9:51 pm

"I... I don't know," he said honestly, staring at his feet. "I feel horrible, for not being able to tell you, please, just try to understand. It'd be the end of me, if I told anyone, I'm so sorry... I should go now, shouldn't I?" he said awkwardly, shoving his hands in his pockets.

**Daphne Greengrass** April 11th 2010, 9:54 pm

She narrows her eyebrows, trying to hide her pain. "Yes, you should." She sinks down against the wall, hoping he doesn't stay.
