Queenie's P.O.V

Tina's thoughts on our wedding tear little painful holes in my soul, and hit my heart like pebbles, unrelenting. When she leaves the room, saying nothing, it feels like a slap to the face. Newt squeezes my shoulder and says softly, "I'll talk to her." He stands and goes to chase after her. A single tear leaves a salt trail down my face as I bury myself into Jacob's chest. He sighs and starts to rub my back, slow soothing circles. Why can't Tina just accept our love? Why can't she face the facts staring right into her face? She might still think that she has to protect me, but I'm not the little girl crying in the Illvermorny halls. I'm now all grown up and I can make my own decisions. Anger starts to fill the holes in my soul, a healing type of fire, a rage that needs to be unleashed. Sensing a change in my demeanor, Jacob unfolds me from his arms and chest. I give him a reassuring smile, and go to find Tina.

I find her sitting in her old bedroom, face buried in Newt's chest. Looking over his shoulder Newt sees me, gently sits Tina down on the bed, and leaves us to talk. Tina puts her hands over her face but I can tell she has been crying, hard. In that split second, I see extreme remorse in her face, and my anger flits away like a feather on the wind. I sit next to her and pull her in my arms, stroking her hair just like mom used to do to me. Tina puts her head in the soft spot between my shoulder and chest. Sobs start to rack her body, soon she is shaking and gasping for air. I keep holding on to her, a rock in a storm. Still crying but not as fiercely, Tina lifts her head and stares straight into my eyes, as if she is trying to peer into my soul. Pushing her with more silence, Tina, throat raw begins, "Queenie, I am so sorry, but do you know the danger you put yourself in?" Anger flares again in my soul, "Yes, Tina and it's my decision to make. I'm not a hopeless, ditsy girl that needs protection around every corner." Tina with grief heavily lining her face, says meekly, "Queenie, I know your a wonderful, brave, beautiful, woman, but I am your sister. If I can't protect you, what do I have left to do?" She starts to cry harder. "Tina you have always protected me through the good and the bad, but there will come a time where you can't protect all of us and you will need protect yourself. You give and give but never take, sometimes your very soul needs a little take." Tina cracks out through the tears, "That's what I'm afraid of Queenie, a time where the world will go to hell and I can do nothing to save you. That is what it felt like the day of the blue flames, Queenie I can't lose you again." The utter devastation in her eyes says more then her words or thoughts. I pull her back into my arms and whisper, "Teenie, that day was not your fault. It was Grindewald's, it took me awhile to except that, but Grindewald wins, he wins every damn day if we let him take away our hope, our love, our happiness." Tina sighs and asks, "When did I miss you grow up? When did you start to be the smarter one?" Emotion swimming in my eyes I reply, "Tina, you are still the smart one, the brave one, we all make mistakes. We just realize them later when some one points them out to us. We live out life the best we can." I pull her into a tighter hug and sit with her for as long as she needs.

Holy crap guys, this is the best writing I have ever written! And, guess what, I did it out of spite. This one user told me that I need to learn the English language due to one spelling mistake. So I wrote an amazing chapter full of figurative language and life lessons. I just love writing Queenie and her relationship with Tina. Please if you are going to correct my grammar, which is totally fine, do it respectfully and kindly. I am just writing this for fun, so please be kind to our amazing writers. Hoped you like this chapter as much as I do. See you all next chapter!
