Mum,
Please tell me that you’re joking, Mum. Please. Because if this is true, I honestly don’t know what I can do about it. So, here’s what’ll happen; I’ll come home because, honestly, I can’t bear school now or finals or any of that. And then, you’re going to hug me, and Dad will be sitting at the dinner table playing with his kit, trying to invent some new product to name after Freddie, and you will tell me that you were joking. Okay?
I’ll see you then, I suppose, Mum.
-Roxy.
*nods slowly* Yeah, I guess he would. I didn’t really know him though. It was just… *looks down*
*shrugs* Sure you did. He was in the same year with you… He’s James’s best friend. His personality was radiant… Everyone knows… knew Freddie. You may know him less than others do, but you still do.
*shakes her head slowly* He didn’t know anything. And I- I only found out yesterday anyways.
That’s… that’s a little sad, I suppose. It would’ve made him happy… to know before he.. went, you know.
*looks down, losing the strength to be bitchy any more, putting a hand on her stomach* You know he’s going to be a boy?
*smiles a little to herself and mumbles* A boy… *turns around to look at Karen again* That’s… that’s amazing, Karen. I suppose it’s a little late to say ‘congratulations’, but maybe I should anyway. *pauses for a while* Did he know? Did he know it’s going to be a boy?
No! *looks desperate for a second, and then looks down, reining herself in and managing to glare at Roxy again* I mean, why would I want you here? You should just go.
Fine, that’s okay… I haven’t really set high hopes for this. *starts mumbling intelligible words to herself*
Karen… hey. *attempts to smile at her*
*tilts her head to the side, imediatley done reminiscing* Oh, a Weasley, Perfect. *wrinkles up her nose, disgusted*
I… I’m sorry, I don’t mean to bother you. I just… I wanted… I… I suppose I can go if I you want me to.
I liked this. Everything’s gone to shit since then.
Karen… hey. *attempts to smile at her*
UGH! WHERE ARE MY MUGS?! CAN’T A PERSON MAKE TEA IN PEACE?!
