➵ I MISS YOU, IM SORRY -GRACIE ABRAMS
'nothing happened in the way i wanted, every corner of this house is haunted.'

It had been a week since Rory's argument with her friends. One morning, her and Pansy were getting ready for school in utter silence. She refused to speak to Rory no matter how much she pleaded. There had been an awkward silence between them all week.

As they brushed their teeth, side-by-side, Rory's eyes were hit with a rush of tears. She didn't let a single tear fall down, afraid of Pansy seeing her weak side. Instead, she took a deep breath and wiped her eyes. "Are you crying?" Pansy asked after spitting her toothpaste into the sink.

Rory turned to face her, her eyes wet. "No, I'm fine." she muttered.

"Rory.." Pansy started, taking ahold of her hand as Rory turned to walk out of the bathroom.

"Don't start acting all sweet now as if you haven't been ignoring me for a week straight. It's pathetic, Pansy."

Pansy's jaw clenched, "I'm pathetic? You're the one that won't stop crying."

"Oh I couldn't think of anything I would be crying about! I must be crying over nothing!" Rory said sarcastically, earning an eye roll from Pansy. "You were supposed to be my best friend, Pansy. What happened?" Rory said, her voice more low and calm.

"Don't get all soppy with me again. You do nothing but cry, Rory."

Rory scoffed, "Oh, I'm sorry for showing my emotions. Pansy, I've lost my absolute best friend, for god's sake! I'm a werewolf with a dead dad and brother. I'm sorry for being upset once in a while."

"Oh just piss off, Rory."

Rory felt as if she had been hit by a truck at her words. She had lost the people she was the most terrified of losing. Pansy was Rory's best friend. She was supposed to be there for her through thick-and-thin.

The one person Rory needed to speak to right now was dead. She needed Cedric more now than ever.

Pansy slammed the bathroom door behind her and Rory faintly heard her sprint down the dormitory stairs into the common room. Rory closed her eyes and bowed her head.

It was like everything had gone downhill since Amos died. Rory had never been through so much pain all at once. It just felt like everything was hitting her at once, each slap hurting even more than the previous. Her body was limp from her own mind beating itself up. Rory wasn't just bruised on the outside, but the inside too.

Rory's heart pounded with anxiety as she walked into her Astronomy classroom. This was the only lesson where their seats were absolutely permanent, meaning that she wasn't allowed to ask Sinistra to let her move seats.

She sat down next to Mattheo with her gaze down to her feet. Professor Sinistra approached the three of them with a stern look. "I don't want any trouble from you three today, okay?"

Rory saw Mattheo's jaw twitch before he responded. "Oh, don't worry professor. That won't be a problem."

Rory's heart had been ripped to pieces. It was like somebody had taken out her heart and shoved it in a shredding machine. She had lost her best friends. Her partners in crime. The only people that understood.

Rory was alone again. She thought she could survive without her friends and she could live with only having Enzo and her dads in her life.

Oh, how she was wrong.

The rest of the lesson flew by and Rory escaped the classroom as quickly as she could, desperate to find Enzo. Her chest ached with metaphorical pain. She couldn't do it without her friends. She needed them more than she thought she did.
