Ouch.. Don't Be So Mad

[Xavier Littlefield]

Xavier was starting to get back into the swing of this after being away from
Hogwarts for what felt like an eternity. Xavier was glad to be back at school
and not at home with his parents. Being the youngest child, his parents rather
put various responsibilities on the shoulders of this young individual and was
told to carry the load and if he couldn't, he would be punished. Hogwarts was
like a second home to Xavier, a home where he could be free of all harsh
responsibilities. Today, Xavier was sitting in the Great lawn, just realxing,
kicking back, and enjoying the cool breeze which was softly hitting his face,
along with the rest of his body. There was one person that Xavier had on
his mind and he had not seen her in a while, at least not since last year. He
kept wondering where she had gone, or if she had transferred. He never
really saw her in the common room, most likely because their schedules were
opposites, but who knows, she was on his mind right now. Who was this
lucky individual that was constantly on Xavier's mind? It was Bella. The only
girl that really caught Xavier's interest, too bad he had not seen her in a while.​

 

[Bella Matthias]

Bella stormed across the Lawn, pushing a few first years out of her way. It wasn't a new emotion for her, anger, it was something she felt constantly. Her moods had drastically changed since she hadn't seen Xavier for awhile, and she had taken to bullying younger students to remove her anger. Bella never used to be an angry girl, she rather just enjoyed to pick on others for the fun of it, but now it was real anger that made her pick on people. Her name was getting around the school as someone to look out for, and she really enjoyed that fact. Deep down, she was really angry at Xavier for not being around; for just abandoning her. She felt worthless, and the fact that her name was going around the school made her feel better about herself, it made her feel like she was actually worth something.
Bella stopped in her tracks as she recognized a blonde head in the distance. Butterflies immediately swarmed her stomach as she realized it the was the boy she had been so desperately wanting. An overwhelming feeling of happiness hit her, and she almost wanted to run and apologize to the first years she pushed over. But the thought of the first years reminded her why she had been angry in the first place. And it was because of this boy. This stupid idiotic boy who made her feel like no girl should ever have to feel. Her feet started moving towards Xavier, her mind in a blurr of anger. Within moments, she was standing over Xavier, looking down at him.

 

[Xavier Littlefield]

Just laying there, thinking about Bella was making him want to get up and start
searching for her. Though he didn't really know where to begin searching for her.
Xavier could not understand as to why Bella was coming on his mind all of a
sudden, but she was on his mind for the past few days. Laying there, with his
eyes still closed, and a piece of stick inside his mouth, Xavier was just kicking
it back when he opened his eyes slowly to check if someone was around him
when suddenly and with a small shock, he saw Bella who was storming towards
him. Xavier in a quick state threw the stick out of his mouth and got up right
on his feet and moved into a position where he had his back against Bella right
now. His face started to turn red and he suddenly started to feel hot. Oh great,
What am I going to say to Bella now?' Thought Xavier to himself. He was
greatly puzzled by seeing Bella all of a sudden that he had an idea of what
kinds of consequences he is going to have to go through with Bella for not
seeing her for a while. He starting to bite one of his finger nail's, breaking down
into a state of nervous wreck. He started to wonder what Bella was going to
say first when she would come up to him. What are his consequences going to be?​

 

[Bella Matthias]

Bella watched as Xavier quickly stood up and faced away from her. She narrowed her eyes as she stormed closer to him. Her insides were fuming, making her even more angry when he didn't turn to face her. He couldn't even face her? What was he doing, running around with a bunch of other girls? Doing who knows what? It felt like her chest was going to explode, and she knew that if anyone got in her way now, they would be in a ton of trouble. When she finally made it to where Xavier was, she spun him around and whacked him on the arm.
"Where the hell have you been Xavier Littlefield? Just prancing around not caring about me? Do you even know what I went through when you just disappeared? What kind of fun where you having while I was going insane? I mean do you even know I was going insane? I used to not be an insane person Littlefield. I shouldn't have to be an insane person. You've even got me babbling. What the hell! You - argh!" She stopped, whacking his arm again, glaring at him.

 

[Xavier Littlefield]

Struck by the sheer nervousness of what is about to happen, a small shiver started
to crawl down his spine, giving him a small tingling sensation and kept wondering
what is about to happen. A few moments later, he felt himself being spun around
quickly and then was hit in the arm with decent strength. The pain wasn't something
Xavier cared for, it was Bella whom he really cared for. The joy of being able to see
Bella again was making his pain worth while. The voice that was coursing through
Xavier's ears was so soothing that he had been feeling so desperate to hear this
voice of Bella's for quite some time now. It wasn't long before he started to see
Bella go all out in rage, questioning him as to where he had gone, what he had been
doing, what had been happening to her all this time and what not. Xavier just
stared into the beautiful eyes of Bella's, noticing the beauty standing in front of
him and he wondered as to why he even stopped talking to her in the first place,
not that he had a choice in the matter, the circumstances forced him to isolate
himself from anyone and everyone for quite some time. He kept listening to Bella
going all crazy, taking all of her anger out on him. Suddenly, a quick idea sparked
through Xavier's mind and in a instant, he grabbed Bella from her shoulder softly,
and moved her in for a warm, and tender kiss right on her lips. Xavier had long
waited to share a kiss with Bella once again. He couldn't even remember when he
last had kissed her, but it felt damn good to be by Bella's side again. "You
know, I'll take any punishment you have to give me, but I long waited to
share a kiss with you." Said Xavier as he slowly pulled his lips away from
Bella's. It had been a long time since Xavier last felt like this, and it was good too.
"I'll explain everything, but first, calm down and take a few deep breaths."
Said Xavier with a smile as he moved Bella closer to his chest, keeping her close.​

 

[Bella Matthias]

Bella's eyes grew slightly in shock before closing when Xavier moved her forwards, gently kissing her. She immediately relaxed her shoulders, warm butterflies fluttering around her stomach once again. It was bliss to be kissing Xavier again, for him to even be holding her, it was more than she had wanted in so long. Her heart had slowed down considerably, her anger evaporating until Xavier pulled back. She slowly opened her eyes and looked up at him as he said he'd take any punishment, which made her smirk. Bella couldn't actually think of anything, but wished that it had been someone she disliked who said that. Thoughts of anger started to come back, but she listened to Xavier as he instructed her to calm down. This time, she didn't allow him to move her closer to himself; instead she took a few steps back, gently pushing him away. "Fine. I'm calm." She stated holding her palms up in surrender, showing she wasn't about to hit him again. "But, don't do your - stupid, little - sneaky, kiss, stunt thing again. Just explain." She huffed, stumbling over her words. Bella stood back while folding her arms, staring at Xavier, still hurt and confused.

 

[Xavier Littlefield]

It was good to get a kiss from Bella without hesitation, this told Xavier that
she still had a 'thing' for him. A while back when Xavier was dating Eleona,
Xavier wasn't really interested in Bella at the time because the feelings were
not as strong as now, but after sometime being away from Bella, Xavier has
come to realize that he himself has a 'thing' for Bella. Listening to Bella's
voice, he wasn't really paying attention to what she was saying, not in a
bad way, but in a good way. He was processing all of the words, but he
was still so hung over from hearing Bella's voice, even in a mean way, but
listening to her voice in a good way made him feel really good about the
whole situation. After giving the kiss to Bella, he felt Bella give him a small
soft push back from herself, which started to make Xavier question about
what's going on Bella's mind right now. Did Xavier make a huge mistake
giving a kiss to Bella? Did he make a mistake of starting to fall for her? He
was starting to have small doubts now. Xavier pulled himself together, he
put his hands back into his own possession, and he looked away from Bella,
breaking the eye to eye connection he had with her. Xavier was not really
expecting a sort of rejection from Bella, even though it is his mistake for
not seeing her for some time, but this did not mean she had to go all out
and show no affection towards him. Clearing his throat, Xavier in a small
tone said, "I'm sorry for the kiss." Xavier was starting to feel a little
down now. What surprised him was that this was the first time he had ever
felt this way towards anyone. He never even felt this way towards his own
parents. Walking a few feet away from Bella, Xavier continued to talk in a
small humble tone. "Bella, listen to me closely. I had to go away for
a year from Hogwarts and was home schooled for all last year due to some
family problems I was having. My grandmother had died, and because of
this, my mom could not handle this situation, so me and my siblings all
stayed home, to take care of my mom." Said Xavier. This was not
easy for Xavier to explain, there was a lot more in depth, but he was just
giving Bella the overview of the situation. "I will take any punishment
from you, anything. Whatever it maybe, I will abide by it." Said
Xavier folding his arms and looking towards the sky in small depression look.​

 

[Bella Matthias]

Bella slowly lowered her arms from the tense position they were in until they were hanging defeated by her side. His grandmother had died? That changed everything. Bella thought sadly to herself. She was still hurt that she hadn't heard or had any contact from him over the last year, but death is a hard thing to cope with, and she couldn't very well stay angry at someone who was grieving; especially since he had given up his second year to go home and look after his mother. That was sweet. Bella shook her head as he again said he would take any punishment from her. She decided she didn't want him too; he seemed genuinely sorry. Bella moved forward to him again, and took his hands into hers, looking at him. "Don't, apologize for the kiss Xav. I was just mad and hurt. But, now I understand." She said, talking slowly and calmly. "Giving up a year of your education to look after your mother is sweet. I mean, it would have been good if I at least had some contact with you. Because you don't understand how it made me feel to just be abandoned; I felt worthless and I hate feeling like that. But I am sorry about your Grandmother. And I'm sorry for hitting you. And yelling." Bella smiled sweetly. "I really am a lucky girl to have you Xavier." She said, quickly falling back under his spell.

 

[Xavier Littlefield]

Getting open to Bella was not the easiest thing to Xavier right now. He
was slowly, but surely opening himself up to her. He could understand
what Bella had to go through from the time he disappeared to the present,
when he had returned to Bella. Being left alone for a certain amount of
time from one of the most important people to a person is not the easiest
thing. He understood all of it, and that is why he was now going to promise
Bella that he is not going to leave her ever again. Turning around, Xavier
walked a few feet closer to Bella, and said, "I'm sorry Bella. I really
just did not have time at all to tell anyone. Things just happened
so fast." Xavier started to remember the time when his father came
to get him from school because of what had happened and Xavier collapsed
into tears about the death of his grandmother. "I know you felt
abandoned Bella, and I promise I will never leave you again." Xavier
was starting to fall more and more for Bella, he was really starting to
fall in love with her. Xavier felt really bad that he just had to disappear
all of a sudden and had not told her anything. When he was on his way
to his grandmother's funeral, he was feeling really left alone and bad that
he had left without telling anyone, especially Bella. Xavier put his arms
around Bella and pulled her closer to him, giving her a warm hug, letting
her hear and feel his heart beat, and showing her that he really cared for her.​

 

[Bella Matthias]

Bella watched as Xavier turned back around and walked closer to her. She nodded in acceptance as he apologized for leaving her. It wasn't like she could not accept his apology. She liked him far too much to stay angry at him for long, especially when he had such a good reason for leaving. It would still take awhile for Bella to get used to him being around again, but she felt every inch of anger leave her as Xavier promised to never leave her again. She closed her eyes as Xavier pulled her in for a hug. It was exactly what she needed; she felt safe and secure in his arms, and wrapping her arms back around Xavier, she believed every word he said. Bella looked up at Xavier and gently placed a kiss on his lips before returning to her comfortable position in his arms. "I forgive you." She mumbled into his chest. "And I believe you. I've missed you so much." There had been so many times when Bella had needed Xavier in the last year. The times when she got into fights with other girls, the time when she found out she had a twin - she didn't have any girlfriends to share it with; not many people were too fond of her. She realized she hadn't even told Xavier that she had a twin yet, but she figured that the right time would come soon. For the moment, she was happy to just stand there in Xavier's arms.

 

[Xavier Littlefield]

Xavier's senses were telling him that Bella was now starting to feel a bit more comfortable than
she was feeling before and that was a good sign for him. He wanted Bella to feel good around
him. He knew that he had made a terrible mistake by not notifying Bella as to what had happened,
but there was not much he could do at the time to help the situation out more. He just left
all of a sudden and didn't know what to do. The only thing on his mind at the time was that
he had to help his family stay together, and stay strong. Having Bella in his arms felt like Bella
was a part of his family. Xavier liked Bella, a lot, and he wished he had taken a moment out
to just tell her of his situation and that he would return soon instead of just disappearing.
"Thank you Bella." Said Xavier after hearing Bella say that she forgave him. That made
Xavier's inner feelings a lot better than what they were before. Bella was a very important
person to Xavier, since she was one of the first and very few friend's that Xavier has made
since he came to Hogwarts. Listening to Bella say that she had missed him a lot made him
feel like he was a wanted individual in school, on good stance of course. "Believe me
Bella, I missed you very much as well. You have no idea how my days went without
be being able to see you, your beautiful eyes, your smile." Said Xavier pulling in closer
to give Bella a kiss on her forehead. Xavier took a few moments of deep breath, and then
looked back at Bella. He knew that he had some catching up to do with Bella since he last
saw her. "So, tell me Bella, what has been going on since I left?" Asked Xavier putting
his hand in Bella's hand and holding it in a warm grip. Xavier wanted to show Bella she was
special individual to him. Xavier would never give up Bella for anything in his life.​

 

[Bella Matthias]

Bella smiled softly when Xavier kissed her forehead. The warmth in her heart spread to her forehead where his lips had touched. She closed her eyes, and imagined staying in his arms forever. Even though she was still very young, it was something she could imagine herself doing. Bella could see herself being with Xavier for the long run - she only hoped he would feel the same. Bella squeezed Xavier's hand, discovering that the right time to tell him about her twin had come quickly. "Well, um, I've gotten into some fights with some stupid Gryffindors. Obviously, nothing I couldn't handle, they're just such pests." Bella started rolling her eyes, but not too sure on how to say the rest. "I also, uh, ran into this girl, in Brightstone. And well, uh, long story short - I have a twin sister." Bella stated, smiling nervously. "She goes here now as well! In Hufflepuff though. She's not like me at all."

 

[Xavier Littlefield]

Xavier could easily tell that Bella's temper was drastically declining, she was going into a state
of comfort. This comfort she had wanted for so long, and now she was finally getting it from
him. Xavier sort of hated himself for leaving Bella in the middle of no where without any contact,
but now that the two were back together, he was going to now concentrate on their future.
Xavier could see himself having a very long future with Bella, and he hoped that Bella would see
the same. Xavier was falling more and more towards Bella with each passing moment, it felt
right for Xavier to be in love with Bella. He finally knew that 'true' love was, and he was feeling
it right now. This kind of feeling he never felt with Eleona when he dated her. Bella would never
betray Xavier like Eleona had done and cheated on him. Xavier was glad that he was now with
Bella and would not give her up for anything. Xavier noticed Bella squeezing his hand, so he
knew there was something important she wanted to tell him. The next words that she said
really surprised Xavier. He could not believe that Bella had a twin! Not to mention she was in
hufflepuff, so he concluded that she was nothing like her. "You... have a twin? Wow. I
would have never thought this. Did I really miss that much?" Said Xavier putting his arm
around Bella trying to make her feel more comfortable. "What is she like? I would love
to meet her. This really makes things interesting. So what else have I missed?" Asked
Xavier in one breath. He really couldn't believe she had a twin sister, it was truly remarkable.​

 

[Bella Matthias]

Bella nodded when Xavier asked if he missed that much. She would have loved to have had him with her when she found out, so she could stress about it to him, get angry about it, at least have someone to talk to. But she shook the thought out of her head as Xavier put his arm around her, feeling better immediately. Bella shook her head again when he asked what else he had missed. "Nothing much really. Just school. Gryffindors." She stated, rolling her eyes. "Her name is Audrina. She's very peaceful and "I love the world". I suppose we could go meet her, if you want. I haven't seen her much, but I guess it's because she's in Hufflepuff." She commented, shrugging her shoulders. "What has being back at school been like for you?" Bella asked.

 

[Xavier Littlefield]

Xavier could tell that Bella wanted him to be there for her when all of these important
events were going on in her life, but he wasn't. Bella already understood the reasons
why he was not able to make it, and hoped that she would not use anything against
him in this matter. Truth was, this matter was pretty much now closed, and a thing
of the past, and was time to move on. Xavier didn't really like to look at things of the
past as they would just hold him back. Just like not remembering Eleona, nor talking
about her was a way for him to move on, completely moving on. He could tell that
Bella was feeling more and more comfortable around him as he put his arms around her
to relax her mind. He didn't know what he was thinking just leaving Bella here without
him, it was as if Xavier had left a huge part of him back at hogwarts and just left it
there without caring for it or anything, which made him feel really bad. Listening to
Bella say that her name was Audrina, she was a peaceful individual. She seemed like
a good person to talk to, so he was looking forward to meeting her. "I look forward
to meeting her Bella." Said Xavier with a smile. Hearing Bella's question asking him
how things have been for him since he got back to school, he really didn't know what
to say at first. He wasn't in the most comfortable state to come back to school since
it will take him a while to get use to things again. "Well, to be honest with you,
I'm still taking it slow on getting use to things. I was away for so long that it will take
be a little bit to get use to." Said Xavier. It was true, he was gonna need time.​

 

[Bella Matthias]

Bella smiled softly when Xavier said he was looking forward to meeting Audrina. Bella knew she would be nervous in this meeting, as she didn't really know Audrina that well any way. But she supposed it would be kind of nice having her boyfriend and twin sister meeting, as family used to be very important to her. Ever since she started attending HNZ, her ties and love for her father slowly faded away; it had been three years since she had actually had a proper conversation with him. But having Audrina show up made her remember how important her family actually is; and she made a vow at quick moment to get to know her sister better.
Bella nodded her head when Xavier said it'll take awhile to get used to things again. "Yes, I suppose it will. But remember, I'm here to help you." She smiled up at him, before placing another kiss on his lips.

 

[Xavier Littlefield]

Out of Character:

We should start a new topic for these two.

Xavier could tell that Bella was not too comfortable at the moment with the idea of him
meeting Audrina. He could see the nervousness in her eyes, and could conclude that she
didn't know her own twin sister too well. This was pretty understandable on Xavier's part,
since after all, the two did not meet for a very long time, and then all of a sudden, the
two meet, and things carry on from there. The determination in Bella's eyes told Xavier
that she was really wanting to get to know Audrina, which made Xavier smile, and feel
a lot better about the whole situation. It wasn't that Xavier was wanting to make Bella
nervous or anything about meeting Audrina, it was just that he thought it would be a good
idea for him to get to know Bella's family better, since after all, the two are officially now
dating, and it was Xavier's responsibility to get to know Bella's family all the more better.
Hearing Bella say that she is always there for him if he needs help while getting use to
things again at Hogwarts, it brought about a smile on Xavier's face that was filled with
happiness. Facing Bella, looking straight into her eyes, Xavier said, with a soft tone,
"Thank you Bella. Now, I think we both have classes to tend to don't we?" Xavier
just remembered that he had to go to his class, and ask the professor a few questions.​
