But... she couldn't do that. She knew she couldn't. That's... why she had decided to do this... why she made that book.

"Alec..." she said softly. Yes. She used his name. His actually name. She balled up her fists at her side. She willed some sort of inner strength or some sort of inspiration.

But nothing came.

She let out a shaky breath and wiped one of her eyes. This was so difficult. "Alec." she started again. She was tempted to add in a 'Blakey', but that would probably break her heart even more.

"...you want to sit?" Because she did. She needed to. She couldn't talk standing up. She needed something solid to support her.
So he had thought that the story was the saddest part of this meeting. That nothing could top the fact that Anya had spent hours slaving away on this book and on a story about them and their tragic friendship. Because it was all there. In this story. And the realisation about everything that had happened was forever imprinted in his mind.

But you know what was worse? The fact that she had called him by his first name.

Alec just blinked hard, his heart starting to beat really fast. To the world, they had always been Alec and Anya but to each other, they were Blakey and Rilez. Always. They had always referred to each other in this way, ever since they were small kids who had learnt of each other's middle names. But now, she had called him 'Alec' and the fourth year just... blinked. Maybe... maybe she was just going to tell him that he was stupid for liking ice cream so much? That he was too obsessed? Or that she actually thought he was rubbish at Quidditch? Even that would be easier to handle than whatever it was she probably wanted to talk to him about.

Did he... want to sit? "Erm... yeah... yeah... sitting..." And he just... plopped himself down on the ground. Just like that. "Erm... I... what is this about?" Rilez? No Rilez? ... He didn't know.
