The first words they had spoken to one another in months and they weren't nice. It was the worst.
As she spoke she knew she had baited him to respond. Something inside her knew she had to know what he thought, wanted to hear what he had to say. She needed to understand why he had just let her go, why he couldn't see that these things were important to her. What came out of the boys mouth wasn't anywhere what she had expected. In fact it was far worse. Hexing her would've hurt less.
What was the matter with him?! This was her life, her future that she was dealing with. Didn't he get that?! Obviously not. Hadleigh stared at him in shock, hurt, maybe even anger. It didn't even matter what her mind was thinking because it was now her heart that had taken over if the tears that were filling her eyes stood for anything. Maybe he'd just think it was from the cold but if he didn't she didn't even care. "I- ... I can't believe you just said that... is that what you think?" Her voice shook as she spoke barely in a whisper, hardly able to get the words out as she took several tiny steps backwards until her back hit a tree. Slowly she slipped down against it until she was sitting in the snow completely unaware of the cold or anything else as she hugged her knees to her chest.
She couldn't even look at the Gryffindor anymore. Hopefully he wasn't able to look at her either. Slowly moving a hand from her pocket she wiped the back of her hand across her cheek brushing away a tear. Slowly Hady inhaled a shaky breath silently willing herself to pull herself together again. Again, the word vomit. He meant what he said, but at the same time he didn't mean for it to come out like that. It had been months since they last spoke to each other, and everything he wanted to say to her since breaking up with her had been bottled up and was now finally pouring out of him. He knew it wasn't coming out the best way, but at least it was being said and getting out there in the open.
He wished that he heard whatever it was that she was saying. Even though he did not know what she said, Frankie could tell that his words had really got to her. The urge to apologize was present as she took several steps back until she was up against a tree. He wanted to join her as she slid down against it, but he knew that the damage had really been done now. The wound was already there, and his words were like salt. I'm sorry, he thought. I'm sorry that things turned out this way. I wish it wasn't like this. But it wasn't working the way things were ... and nothing has changed.
Even though his brain told him to say that out loud, no words left his mouth as his teeth began to chatter. Frankie remained there beside the tree, standing there with his eyes fixed on Hady. He wanted to look away, but there was something that kept him transfixed on her. As she wiped the back of her hand across her cheek, his mouth opened ... then closed ... opened ... and then closed again. He took a deep breath.
"Goodbye," he quietly said, taking his first steps toward the castle without waiting for Hady to speak. He didn't look back at her, though a nonverbal warming charm had been casted at her direction before turning behind a thick group of trees and out of sight.
