Taylor looked up at him, "I have been horrible to you... I dont even deserve to be upset that you have a crush on someone else." Tay sighed and frowned, "She would probably be better for you though..."

Damon shook his head, "I should've realized something was wrong with how you were acting and tried to help, not turn you away." He played with her hair, "And love... There's no one out there who's more perfect than yourself."

Tay looked at him, "It isnt your fault..." She sighed and held onto him. Taylor smiled as he played with her hair and then blushed at what he said, "I wish that was true..."

Nigel raised one of his eyebrows at that question. It was pretty obvious. He had seen a cat run through. Then he suddenly sees Ronnie shout a name at the top of her lungs.

"Well i just saw a cat run through the courtyard. Then i see you shouting a name loudly. So i just guessed that cat was yours. Am I right?"

He hoped he was right because he knew which way the cat went. But if the cat was not hers. He would just forget about it and continue taking his much needed nap.

"I still have some of the blame. I should've known that it wasn't you who did everything." Damon smiled down at her, "Well, wish come true, because you are,"

Taylor smiled and kissed him, "I adore and love you, Damon." She looked up at him and held him close to her.

Maxwell stood up. "I have to go for a walk or something...this is all just too much for me." He said the whole bit of drama unraveling in front of him was a little too much. Taylor was back to Normal but obviously something was wrong with Damon because he liked Ariana but apparently they're okay but not really... "See ya Sis.." He said not really feeling like talking to Damon much.

Damon kissed her back, smiling at her, "I love and adore you too, Taylor."

"Yes, you're right...and...you just saw him?!" she asked, turning around and looking around frantically. "Where?!" she asked, turning back to Nigel.

Tay looked at her brother, "Okay, Maxwell... I will talk to you later sometime." She sighed and looked at Damon, smiling slightly. "Give me a week before we official date again... unless you dont want to date again that is..." He likes Ariana... but he kisses you... what is going on... The conflict showed on her face despite her trying to hide it.

Damon nodded and frowned slightly seeing her face, "Mob amour, I love you, not her... I don't want to be with her like I do with you. You're my first and only love... And no one's going to change that."

Tay sighed, "Mi... Damon, how can I know that? I mean you have a crush on her..." Taylor grimaced and looked away. She pushed away from him and sat down on a bench.

"I've got a truth potion right here," Damon pulled it out, it was something he'd always carried on him after Henry gave him it to test his father's lies, "If that's what it takes to prove it to you, I will."

Taylor glanced at the vial then back up at him, "No." She shook her head, "No..."

"Then what can I do to prove it to you?" Damon looked at her, "Because I hate you thinking that I'm infatuated with someone else. I love you... Not Ari, not Min, not Harm... but you and only you."

Tay sighed, "Just gave me time, Damon." She looked away, sighing. You still have a crush though...

Damon looked at her, "I swear to you it's true Taylor..." He sighed and took a seat in the grass in front of where she was and laid back, his hair growing black and long again. He tilted his head back to look at her, not sure what else to really say.

"yeah no one's seen him and as far as i know his things arent here." she shrugged "i try not to think about it really." she looked at her but yeah portkeys.. the train broke down and we all had to take portkey's to the station after the train came to a horrible quick stop.. i broke a rib. that sucked." she looked at the ground and back up with an evil grin on her face "only you would know that i've been in trouble already." she laughed "been yelled at by professor Scabior which wasnt fun adn was inlafay's office for hours with two first years over a silencing spell i casted on one of them.. but i got out of both no problem." she smiled proudly

Tay sighed as his hair turned black and long. She frowned and gently pulled his head onto his lap. Taylor stroked his hair and cheek.

Damon looked up at her, still not saying anything, mainly because he had no idea what to say exactly. His eyes closed as she started to stroke his cheek and hair, trying to just relax and go back to his normal self again.

Taylor smiled and played with his hair, "Damon..." She loved him but she was afraid.

Minerva couldn't believe it. She looked at the ground thinking about where Justin could be and why he wasn't at school. It would be weird at school without one of her closest friends. Her, Harvey, and Justin always found ways to stay close and if he wasn't at school how were they going to achieve that goal. She knew her missing wasn't going to help the situation either, but she was back and he wasn't. That was not how this was to work.

She then looked up at Ariana and her mouth flew open, "The train broke down? Is that even possible?" she had never heard of the express breaking down before. "I can't believe they had you use portkeys, it's a wonder more students were not seriously injured. Were there many adults helping on the train or just prefects?" That seemed to be a scare situation, but she soon forgot about it when Ariana talked about being in trouble. "Oh wonderful Scaboirs is still here. I was hoping he would find a new school to torture students at. There is just something about it, he doesn't like to many students at all." she shook her head, Minerva never had issues with professors, but ever since her first year she had always had trouble with him. "Well I'm glad you got out of trouble and didn't get detention." she giggled at her friend knowing it wouldn't be the last time she would have to talk herself out of something.

Damon smiled up at her, his eyes slowly changing green again, "Taylor," He closed his eyes again as she played with his hair, "You're amazing,"

Taylor looked at him, smiling as his eyes turned green then her smile faded as he closed his eyes, "Thanks..."

Lana quietly made her way into the courtyard. It was neutral ground and a bit of fresh air would probably do her some good. She really didn't want to be thought of as a recluse. Spying an empty bench, she plopped down and pulled a book from her bag. She wasn't going to waste her afternoon on sitting around, there were things she did need to work on.

She was determined to turn things around this year. Refocus was what she called it. Glancing in the direction of the pitch, she sighed. It would only be one year she promised herself last year, but she needed to get herself together still. There was always next year for her and she seemed to be more support in the stands anyway.

Turning her attention back to her book, she opened it and started reading as she enjoyed the autumn air. She hardly ever took the time to enjoy the grounds and this year was going to be different.
