Originally Posted by Miss Marilyn Marilyn sighed with relief when he decided to sit back down.

Hopefully it would help her get this out...
...And the Slytherin would NOT be making eye contact. Marilyn hadn't been so good at masking her emotions lately...and she did not need any waterworks. Tears would not help the situation... "You know, I thought it would be easier coming back to this place...but I hadn't realized just how many enemies I had made..." She stared down at their clasped hands, finding it somewhat comforting. "Back in first year, a lot of who I was was attitude and arrogance. I wasn't easily lead by what anyone said...but now?" Well, her confidence had been severely shaken. People who were suppose to love and care about her had...kidnapped her, thrown her into dark places by herself, abandoned her, attempted to take her life...and had LIED... It was a wonder she didn't spend the rest of her Hogwarts days hermitted down the Slytherin dorms, really... "There's just a lot of self doubt going on within myself, Carter...I keep getting told that because of the way I treat people, I don't deserve to be happy...and I think that's what I'm starting to believe." Carter looked down at the ground too. He waited for her to say something. Would it be wrong to nod at that comment? A lot of her was that. Carter had just been... too ignorant to realize it. Or maybe he just didn't care. "Listen Marilyn." he said finally looking at her. "You are a beautiful person. And you deserve happiness. No matter what..." Rafe or Marie "anyone says."
He just wasn't sure that happiness was... with him.
He sighed. "The truth is... I think we both jumped into this too quickly..." They were both looking for a sense of normal... and that wasn't a good reason to start any relationship.
He looked at the ground again. "Don't get me wrong... I like you..." In fact, he liked her a lot. "And I'm probably going to regret this in the morning... but... if there's going to be something between us... we need to make sure we do it right."
And he honestly hoped that things would start making sense. He could imagine a future with her. But that was the problem... he could see falling in love with her... wanting a future with her.
But all that was there now was a lot of confusion and indecision on his part. And he wasn't about to bring Marilyn through any more of that. No. He had stuff to figure out just like she did.
If they were meant to be together... it would just happen, right? "I'm... I'm sorry Marilyn. I should... probably get going..." he said slowly releasing his hand from hers. He couldn't bear to see her reaction. But it wasn't fair to keep her in this romantic limbo. And Carter... being the great guy that he was... probably just added to her feelings of self doubt...
