What kind of answer is that? Does it even answer his question in the first place? Jonathan's mouth hung a bit for a moment while on of his hand turned into a fist. Jonathan looked at her firmly while she looked away. Suddenly he can feel tension for both of them. There is something she's not telling him and there is something he wants to know. However, Jonathan can pull of a poker face for Kurumi.
So he took a deep breath and calmed his hands. He swallowed what is suppose to be his anger and tried to shake it off. He couldn't obviously get mad over this? He's trying to convince himself that there is nothing to get so hyped about. Scratching his forehead, he locked his eyes on her "You're not going to tell me who?" he asked calmly. "Do you want me to guess?" he added yet this time he followed where she was looking at. Which was at the ground.
He can tell that she was avoiding all of this but NO! Jonathan doesn't want this topic avoided. She decided to have this talk and so it will be discussed. He was beginning to think she was also not going to answer his last question. When he was about to open his mouth and ask a different question, she interrupted him...
Cheated...
The word itself doesn't imply anything good after it. It's such a big word to and as much as he feels relieved that she told him about it, he wasn't. Nobody likes being cheated on. Hearing those words, that sentence, felt like the hairs on his back just immediately stood. When? Where? With who? Those were the questions he wanted answered. He tucked both his hands on the pockets of his pants and moved a small step backwards from her, he wanted to just lean on the tree, have himself calm down.
Blink. Blink.
Jonathan felt like his blood pressure went up 10x than the usual. He stood there with a frozen, blank expression looking at her. Her words just kept circling through his ears and couldn't say anything about it. He had words to say but neither of it were coming out. It was like at that moment he can no longer speak nor move. He wants an explanation to why she did and to who. But that was just it, he could no longer speak, he just stood there in silence. [/COLOR]
Out of the corner of her eye Kurumi saw Jonathan's hand curl up into a fist and she inhaled sharply, not knowing what that meant exactly. She knew he was upset, angry, and probably a whole slew of other emotions...but she had never seem him do THAT. He told her one several occasions that he could have a temper and she had a hard time believing some one as peaceful and kind as him was capable of being fierce - even if he was a Slytherin.
However, in this moment, Kurumi was frightened and forgot to breathe for a few seconds.
His words were what brought her back and she hugged herself tighter.
"N-N-No..." she replied. She didn't want him to guess. That would just make everything worse - especially considering she was pretty sure that he would never guess who considering they had only met once and it had been very VERY brief. "
L-Lewis..." she replied, her voice quivering and soft.
But that answer probably wouldn't be enough. Not for Jonathan. Kurumi braced herself, hugging her small frame even tighter.
Kurumi had stopped breathing again. In fact, she was pretty sure that her heart had stopped beating as well. Looking at him now, his silence, the way his body was, the way his eyes looked...it was worse than she had imagined and she was pretty sure that she could actually hear her heart breaking now. What was left of it anyway.
She gasped, out of pure reflex, when he took a step back. A step away from her. A step away from them. What was she expecting? That he would be all smiles and say that everything was alright? That was naive, Kurumi Hollingberry, even for you. The question on her own mind was...was that what she wanted? For him to forgive her? Kurumi was afraid to answer those questions right now and instead lowered her gaze to his hands as they shoved themselves in his pockets.
Kurumi looked at Jonathan, nearly taking a step forward but didn't. She remained exactly where she was with her gaze hesitantly on his. She should say something else, but what? What could she possibly say to him now? What did he want her to say? She was pretty sure that now she could also hear his hear breaking and she felt as though she were about to collapse right there. Her knees buckled, stiffened, but she didn't waver. She was simply frozen there looking at the Slytherin boy who had her heart, and her his, and now...neither of them had a heart left to be held.
