Prompt for Monday 24th January:

she was the one that got away.

-overdue D;

She was the one that got away. Out of all the other girls I dated, she was the one that had to go away.

I don't get it. I love her, and isn't that enough? I showed it, haven't I? She knew how much I love her, doesn't she?

Bloody Salazar! She doesn't! But Scamander said she loved me. He must be lying- he just wanted me to feel proud and leave them alone. That's it! It's a trick of his.

Saying how Lily loved me will make me do stupid things and I'll make a fool of myself. That Scamander. He could get Lily into believing every word he said, but why is it that he's not with Lily by now? It doesn't make sense. If I were him, I would take advantage of every chance I get. Would I, though? I wouldn't want her to make the wrong choice, I wouldn't want her to get hurt.

"You're lost in your thoughts." Marcia-the least person I would want to suddenly appear out of nowhere- suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Uhh yeah." I simply said.

"Why?" She demanded an answer.

"Been doing some thinking lately." I replied.

"Some thinking?" She asked me back.

"Yes. Now bugger off."

"You can talk about it with me, if you want." I increased the size of each step, but she still caught up.

"No thank you." At least I wasted a few seconds on saying thank you. Marcia grabbed my arm and forced me to look her in the eyes,

"I couldn't help but wonder," She narrowed her eyes. "But do you still think about me?" She positioned herself so that I couldn't continue walking. "Sometimes?" She added.

"I think about you as often as I think about what in the world my dad's doing." Marcia smiled, and I quickly tried to think of something. "…which is not that often." I guessed my words must've pierced her deep down, but she didn't show it, and I didn't care.

"She's rather lucky." Marcia mumbled.

"Rather lucky? She bloody is." I made it clear. "I mean, no offense, but I never cared for anyone as much as I cared for her."

"It's okay. I get it." Marcia nodded. "Of course. Everyone resist the better things."

"Whatever, Marcia." I don't think my heart is big enough for two, besides I care about Lily as much as I can care for anyone, so as big as my heart gets, Marcia just won't fit.

thanks for reading! :D
