Chapter 54: So Young and Confused

Evelyn and Sirius were curled up on the couch, she was reading to him as his played with her chocolate curls, the other day's events not far from his mind. What had happened to her? The Healers weren't sure but Sirius thought maybe she had another vision, but she had told him if she did, she didn't remember.

He loved this woman so much, and he would protect her no matter what.

Suddenly a loud pop echoed through the small flat, making the couple both reach for their wands and aim it at the source of the noise. Before them sat a small wrinkled house elf, sobbing.

Evelyn's guard dropped slightly, " Are you alright?" she asked, her voice filled with genuine concern.

Sirius's silver eyes flashed dangerously, " What the Hell are you doing here, Kreacher?!" he spat, his arm going to Evelyn's shoulder.

" M-Master Reg-Regulus!" he wailed.

The brunette felt her heart stop in her chest, " What happened?" she asked softly, getting down on one knee.

Kreacher walked closer and Sirius got in front of Evelyn," Don't go near her!" he snapped. Evelyn stood up and walked in front of Sirius and got on her knees," What happened Kreacher?" she asked softly.

" Ma-Master is d-dead!" he cried falling to his knees in front of Evelyn, taking her tan hand in his pale one, " M-Master told me to comes t-to you and h-his br-brother!"

" Oh God," she whsipered, her lip trembling as tears began to escape her eyes, " Oh God!" she sobbed, placing her hand on top of Kreacher's trying her best to think straight.

This couldn't be happening, she promised him that she would be there for him? Why hadn't he come to her? Why? Why hadn't she tried harder to reach out to him?

" M-Master tolds m-me to tell you h-he's s-sorry," he stuttered, " boths o-of yous,"

Behind Evelyn stood a shaking Sirius, his head lowered and his fists clenched, " Leave,"was all he said, and before Evelyn knew it Kreacher was gone.

" Why Reg? Why'd you have to do it Reggie?" Sirius ran a hand over his face and punched the wall," YOU FUCKING COWARD! YOU KNEW!- YOU FUCKING KNEW!"

Evelyn let out a loud sob and Sirius looked to her, confused. She was curled into a ball , her hands over her face, " Oh God!" she wailed, " I shouldv'e been there for him more!"

The ebony haired man dropped to his knees and cupped Evelyn's cheek, making her look at him with red eyes, " How did you know Regulus?"he asked.

She took a deep breath and hugged herself, her eyes going to her jean clad knees, " I-I was his t-tutor," she stuttered, " He was just s-so young and con-confused, so I stuck w-with him,"

Sirius's brows furrowed, " Why didn't you tell me?" he asked.

Another sobbed racked Evelyn's small frame as she hugged herself harder, " He d-didn't w-want me t-too,"

His gray eyes turned stormy, " Was that all you were to him?"

Evelyn looked up, her eyes wide with rage. The familiar tight feeling in her throat was gone, replaced with her heart hammering against her chest in pure white hot fury, " What are you implying?" she growled. Sirius knew he was treading on dangerous waters, but he continued," I think you know." he said lowly.

" How dare you," she began before shoving him out of her way before standing up, " How fucking dare you,"

Sirius picked himself up and glowered down a her, " Your brother just died! And you're worried about if I cheated on you?! YOU'RE QUESTIONING ME? DID I NOT SAY I LOVED YOU?! YOU BASTARD!! YOU FUCKING BASTARD!!" she screamed before spinning around, heading toward the bedroom but he cut in front of her.
