Her feelings for Serena were stronger than any of her friends because she saved her. Going through a life threatening situation and back was something that only brought you closer. She’d always be her hero.
Lisa was rendered speechless by this confession. She usually always had a comment, a comeback, some type of witty phrase, or just something to say but... for the first time EVER, she was silent. And she felt EMOTIONS of WEIRDNESS. That she didn’t like.
“No... I know... I appreciate you telling me. It’s brave... I don’t think I could ever do that,” she sighed. Seriously the admittance of feelings to someone you admired so much was so cool and so strong which she would have not expected anything less of her. And Lisa, well, she hadn’t even told Jasper how she felt even after telling Serena about her feelings for him. She had hoped the gifts, the extra attention was enough... but perhaps.. she ought to just give it a last go to see if there was anything there and move on? Lisa didn’t want to play second fiddle to Valentina or any of the fifth year Gryffindor girls...
Realization hit her when she wondered if that was how Serena felt and that was why she disliked Jasper so much.
Oh Merlin... Her heart ached. Her emotions were so confusing and she thought the best thing to do next was to be honest. Even if she was wavering...
“I.. Serena you are my best friend, my equal in intelligence, and are so much cooler at Quidditch than I. I love you but not in the same way you like me... I’m sorry if I led you on... but I don’t feel the same about you. I.. I’m sorry. I still want you as my best friend cause we make the best team.” The two of them were really a formidable duo.
She was really tempted to tell her that she wasn’t dating Daniel but now didn’t seem like the appropriate time.
Brave?
Lisa considered this brave? Serena certainly didn't feel like it. She felt upset even though she was holding herself together pretty well. She'd done most of the crying last night with V. Which, thinking back on it was embarrassing but she truly appreciated V a lot.
"I think you're capable if you tried," she said. Yes, she was encouraging Lisa to go for...*SIGH*...JASPER. Ugh. Gag. Serena could be mean. Incredibly mean, but this was Lisa and despite unrequited feelings, she wanted to see her happy. And if that meant with that confident-head-full-of-curls, then...*GAG*...be it.
This next part chipped at her icy heart. Serena kept reminding herself that she confessed because she wanted to be honest. She didn't expect anything out of it...even if she had the smallest of hopes.
"I am cooler at Quidditch," she said, managing a weak smile in hopes of disguising the tears that betrayed her eyes. Leaky eyes were the worst! She wiped them off and attempted a better smile.
"Don't worry, you never led me on. I hid my feelings well." TOO well. Serena was good at that.
Taking in a deep breath, she squared her shoulders, returning to her usual Dos-Santos posture. She wanted to pretend everything was okay so Lisa wouldn't worry.
"I'd like us to keep being best friends, too. I..." No more CRYING. UGH.
"I was...afraid this would tear us apart." It was the main reason she kept it to herself for so long.
