Kelsey felt like a wounded animal on the hard forest floor, waiting for rescuing. When the animal thought there was no hope left in the world, there its parents came, rescuing it from further harm. Here Kelsey sat, in the arms of her father with her mother showing compassion. It was the closest thing to a family the three of them were going to get. As Mandy moved the hair from her face, the feeling of Mandy actually touching her calmly and not hitting her was unreal to Kelsey and make shivers travel through her body. She listened to her mother's words and didn't know how to react. She merely stopped crying and looked at the person who gave birth to her all those many years ago. She tried to find words to say, anything at all that would come to mind.
"I'm not worthless? Then why have you been telling me I am for the past six years? How am I suppose to forgive you when you spent so many years making me feel so bad that I wanted to die? Tell me, why do you hate me? I just want to know what I did," Kelsey said, a few glistening tears flowing from her eyes as she looked at her mother from her father's strong arms. Kelsey wanted nothing more than to just hug her mother and let the past go and start over. She knew that it would not happen. There was so much damage between the two of them that it could not be fixed in one mere day, or could it?
Truth was, Kelsey had given up on this family a long time ago. She was sick of it all. Sick of all the secrets, the lies, the betrayal, everything. Her father had Merlin knows how many mistresses, her mother was probably cheating also, Kelsey had ran away to get married and was an alcoholic, Anton was surely up to something and the really only innocent person in the whole family was her younger brother Vince. A dysfunctional family like this who fought all the time could never last. With Kelsey being a horcrux, things were just ten times more complicated and one wrong decision Kelsey made would effect the entire dysfunctional LeBlanc family.
"Father, it doesn't matter where your alliance lies! Can't you see, what you do does not matter. It is me they want! I'm the bloody horcrux here! If I do not join them, I put everyone I love at risk of dying! If I do join them I betray everyone I love! They will not dare go after you until I made my decision on where I lie in this war. The fate of this family lies in my dysfunctional hands. Things would be better if I just simply died. Then the horcrux would be destroyed and both you and mother will have a simpler life without my problems," Kelsey stated, looking at the ground. She hated this decision that she had to make. One wrong move and the results would be catastrophic. All this drama and crying made her want a drink so badly. She had yet to have her daily fix of alcohol and it was driving her insane. She knew that as soon as she could escape her parents watchful eyes she would be heading towards that liquor cabinet and fixing herself something good before she went back to Hogwarts.

It was funny how things were good just the other day, and now everything went to shit again. Still, Robert found him in a bittersweet family moment. Here he was, holding a crying Kelsey, and Mandy was actually being calm and apologizing to Kelsey. It was enough to make a man cry - on the inside. Robert shook his head slightly. They were the worst parents ever. It was funny how such a dramatic event turned a parent's mind around, set things in perspective for them.
Robert saw it in Mandy's eyes immediately. Here we go... he thought - bracing himself for the worst. At least, he could possibly use Kelsey as a shield if Mandy tried to kill him. Then again, if she really wanted to, there wasn't much that could stop her. Robert clenched his jaw and stared at some fixed point off to the right. He was listening to what Mandy was saying but, her questions were hard to answer.
“Are you purposely trying to put our family in danger? Do you know what happens to people who just decide to stop following the death eaters? They are hunted down like animals, and their families are tortured in the process.” [/i] "Of course I fucking know! Who do you think has hunted them down before?!" he exclaimed, in an angry voice. Robert did his best not to raise it. One of his duties, as a most loyal Death Eater, had been to hunt down such traitors and kill them, their family, or anyone important to them. He knew better than anyone what happened. “What did you do? What did you do that could possibly lead to Jack Lestrange raping Kelsey?”[/i] Robert shook his head. He had yet to figure it out. He had put so much thought into it, and many drinks to boot, and he still hadn't a clue. Robert gathered that it must be something small, something he thought to be insignificant. Jack could have easily caught him at a bad time, when he was cursing the Death Eaters in his head. “Things would be better if I just simply died. Then the horcrux would be destroyed and both you and mother will have a simpler life without my problems,"[/i] Robert held Kelsey slightly tighter. "No, absolutely not. Death is not an option," he barked. He gently pushed Kelsey aside and strode over to the kitchen. Robert grabbed himself a glass, and was about to open up his stores of liquor but, his hand puased on the handle of the cabinet. He wrestled with himself for a few silent moments. Knowing he probably shouldn't, Robert opened the cabinet, pulled out the first bottle he saw, and poured himself a drink. Robert wondered, as he brought the glass to his lips, how much more he would drink if Kelsey died. It would at least triple, feeling that it was all his own fault. Robert dearly wished he would have been strong enough to break away from the life his father wanted for him when he had the chance. Robert tilted his glass back, drinking down it's entire contents.

The words of her daughter, shot her down, made her want to give up and walk out, but something stopped her. “Kelsey, I have never said you where worthless! Never! You merely assumed it. I hate you? You are my daughter, my own flesh and blood, I could never hate you. I don’t know why our relationship is the way it is, but it was never my intention for it to turn out like this.” Mandy tried to explain, moving her hands to brush the fresh tears that cascaded down her daughters cheek. Mandy could safely say this has been the closest they have been in years, but there was a time when they used to be much, much closer. When Kelsey was little, believe it or not, she was the apple of Mandy’s eye, she could never let Kelsey out of her sight, adored her with all her heart. Amazing how things changed for the worst.
Mandy’s heart leaped at Kelsey words, directed towards Robert. Turning her gaze on her husband, she waited for the response he would give. It was evident that Kelsey and Robert had patched up their relationship, so why couldn’t theirs work? Holding her tongue, Mandy pursed her lips and turned her attention back to their daughter. Rubbing her arm gently, trying to comfort her, she shot a glare at Robert. “Oh piss off,” Mandy spoke sourly, rolling her eyes at the man she called husband. What the hell was keeping them together? Oh yeah, their kids. Mandy believed all of them where old enough to know the truth, that their mother and father just didn’t feel the way they used to for each other. Yes, she loved him, as the father of her three children, but that was it, she was sure of it.
It was over the summer period when Mandy had realized Robert’s heavy drinking habit. He had always been fond of a few here and there, but it had gotten progressively worse as time went on. More arguments broke out, more sleeping on the couch occurred. So once Robert moved towards the kitchen, Mandy already knew where he was going.
Fury shot through her body, pulsing through her veins. “What the fuck! You’re daughter is clearly distressed and you’re standing there drinking your bloody life away!” She shouted at him, her fists clenched. She was pretty positive she was ready to lunge at him. “I am so fucking sick of your alcoholic problems! I’m so sick of you! I’m through with all this!” Mandy still angry, approached Robert and grabbed the open bottle that set on the counter and put it in the bin. “You either stop, or leave.” She finally released, looking at him with her hazel eyes.

Kelsey felt her heart melt as her mother said that she didn't hate her. She then realized that all the years she spent hating her mother were wasted. She didn't know why she did hate her mother. They just seemed to fight all of the time. Kelsey wanted to stop. She realized in that exact moment, that she wanted to change her life and the first thing would be to make amends with her mother. For the first time in years, Kelsey looked at her mother with love in her eyes and smiled at her. Those words were just the thing she needed to hear.
Kelsey felt herself being pushed aside from her father and she knew where he was going. He was going to the exact place where she wanted to go, the liquor cabinet. Kelsey knew she had to stop drinking. She was too addicted and if she was going to change her life, she would have to stop. It would be hard, but she knew it had to be done. There they went, fighting again. Kelsey wished that they would stop. Every time they were in the same room they would fight. Kelsey wanted them all to be a happy family just for one day to see what it would be like. Fed up with all of the secrets and lies between the family, Kelsey knew what had to be done. She needed to tell her father's secret. Kelsey got up and walked into the kitchen where her parents were and leaned against the door frame.
"Please stop fighting! I am sick of all this too! I am sick of the secrets! Mom" Kelsey started but stopped. This was harder than she thought. Kelsey knew she had to do one thing before she broke her mother's heart. Kelsey walked over to her mother and embraced her, for the first time in years, in a hug. A warm loving hug. It felt nice for once to hug and not fight with her mother. Kelsey let go of the hug and stepped away from her mother. "I love you and because I love you, I have to tell you something. Dad.. He has a mistress. He's been cheating on you for Merlin knows how long with some cheap whore and I hate it! Kelsey told her mother with an apologetic look on her face. She felt the guilt hit her as she looked over at her father. She had just betrayed his trust, but it had to come out. She needed to tell her mother. It was not right that she didn't know.
"I'm sorry Dad, I had to tell her. Its not right that she didn't know," Kelsey said, a sad expression on her face. She turned away from her parents and set her eyes on the liquor cabinet. Maybe today was not the best day to stop drinking. Kelsey walked over to the cabinet and grabbed the first bottle she could before taking a huge drink out of it. She needed a drink after this day. Tomorrow she would quit. Tomorrow she would turn her life around for today she would drink away her family problems.

“Oh piss off,”
Robert felt a jolt go through him. One he hadn't felt in a while. It was pure, absolute, one hundred percent rage. She had the nerve to tell him to piss off? Robert let out a cynical chuckle before he left the room. So, the fact that he spent years torturing people for desertion meant nothing to her. She had no idea how much it bothered him all day long. Robert didn't sleep anymore with the mixture of nightmares between Kelesy's problems, Anton's vampireism and his girlfriend, oh and then there was Lestrange. He had put a roof over her head for years, gave her all the money he could, let her spend it how she wanted, and she tells him piss off. Fantastic. No wonder the man was drinking himself to the grave.
. “What the fuck! You’re daughter is clearly distressed and you’re standing there drinking your bloody life away!”
[/i] Robert nodded. Yup, he was. It was because of Kelsey's distress that he was drinking. It kept bringing him to think that it all tied back to him. Robert did something to offend Jack Lestrange. He still hadn't figured out what it was. He couldn't tolerate all the crying and bittersweet family moments. A small smirk played at his lips. He had been waiting to see just which one of them would pull the 'i'm sick of you' card. Robert had expected he would've gone there first but, Mandy beat him to the punch. That was fine with him. Robert opened his mouth to say something in return when Kelsey butted in. He stared at her, rather speechless as she hugged Mandy, and the proceeded to let the cat out of the bag. Robert stared with a hard, horribly angry expression, at Kelsey. Robert had told Kelsey the truth, he'd fully given her his trust when he revealed his secrets. Then, she just goes and blabs them. It wasn't like Robert wasn't' going to tell Mandy about his affair, the on going on with Mackenzie, not the other meaningless women he had been with. He was just waiting for the right time, he was waiting for things with Kelsey to blow over and cool off before he tackled this. This was exactly why Robert never trusted anyone. They easily broke that trust. He wasn't oblivious to Kelsey walked straight to the cabinet and taking out a bottle. Robert let it slide for a moment. Once she had taken her drink, he reached over, and rather forcefully grab the bottle out of her hands, and with way more force then necessarily, threw the bottle into the sink. The bottle made a soft popping sound, following by shattering glass. He didn't say anything. Robert wouldn't look at Mandy or Kelsey. He wondered how long it would be for him to look at Kelsey after this little stunt. Days, weeks, months, possibly years. The funny things was, Robert actually didn't even care about Mandy's reaction. He could leave right now and get a clean break. The divorce papers were all ready. He had signed them months ago, they were just waiting in his secret vault at Gringott's. That same secret vault was his extra money he stowed away for himself under a false name. It was the money that was safe from his most-likely-soon-to-be-ex-wife's greedy hands. He was already prepared to give her half his money, and this bloody house. He had considerable sums already set aside for their children even. Robert was prepared so, he didn't care if Mandy threw him out right now. [/size][/blockquote] |

There was only so much a woman could take. For a split second, Mandy felt like the best option in this situation would be running in front of a bus, preferably a double decker, and hope for the best, (the best being not to wake up) But then she had to think, she had so much to live for. Her daughter, her sons, her job, everything that made her who she was. This bastard she called husband, could run for the hills for all she cared. The more she thought, the more welcoming the suggestion seemed.
Turning to Kelsey as she started to speak, allowing her daughter to embrace her in a hug, which she gladly returned and placing a small kiss on her head. Secrets what secrets? Mandy wasn’t a woman who liked to be in the dark, what you didn’t know wont hurt you, but it will surely make you look like a right fool. She didn’t like to look like a fool, she avoided it at all cost. But something about Kelsey’s tone warned her, screamed to her that this wasn’t going to make her look any better. Mandy held her tongue, wondering if she should cover her ears before it was too late. Things in her life where bad enough, something else could drive her to insanity, she was nearing the edge and the simplest thing could easily throw her over
“Dad.. He has a mistress.”
Oh well it wasn’t too bad, was it? Honestly, Mandy thought it was going to be so much worse. Almost wanting to release a small sigh, she couldn’t bring herself to do so. Mandy had always suspected that Robert wasn’t entirely faithful, but she hadn’t expected a mistress, just a few sluts on the side, not the bloody main course! It must’ve been serious if he had told Kelsey about it. And yet, she was completely oblivious to the obvious. Perhaps the words just hadn’t sank it. She’d give it a moment or two…
…No, no she still wasn’t feeling a single thing. Nothing she wanted to shed a tear over. She was probably just a stone cold bitch…no that wasn’t even it! Coming to the conclusion that she wasn’t upset, Mandy trailed her fingers through her curly locks. She had already shed tears over him, many for that matter, too much and her feelings had evaporated with those tears.
Wincing at the sound of shattering glass, Mandy kept her eyes on Robert, silently wondering if she made a swift move could she reach for the kitchen knife. As much as the proposition sounded absolutely delicious, she knew better, she knew that there was no point of ending his life, it would be much more amusing to sit back and watch it all fall down the drain. Looking down at her finger, with the rather large diamond ring band slipped on it, Mandy was reluctant to just give it over, she wanted to keep it. No one ever got what they wanted though. Slipping it off, she approached Robert and placed it on the countertop.
“I’ll give you until the end of the week to get your stuff together and get your sorry ass out of my house.” Her words where slow, with no emotion.

As Kelsey stood there in the silence of the room, she realized what she had done. She had just tore her parents apart. She caused them to get a divorce. She ruined the family. Kelsey knew she would never forgive herself for this one. Her father wouldn't even look at her now. Oh she messed things up royally now. Kelsey was about to take another drink when she felt the bottle being snatched from her and thrown to the sink. Kelsey glared daggers at her father, not liking his anger at all.
"Hey! I was drinking that! Sure you can have a drink but I can't? Don't be taking your anger out on me! You are the one who fucked things up by cheating with that good for nothing whore!" Kelsey exclaimed, her frustration ringing through her voice. Though before she was a little more open to her father finding someone else she was now not okay with it. She had just found her love for her mother again and did not want this whore ruining it. She wanted them to be a family for once. Now that Kelsey opened her mouth, she knew that she would have to visit two homes on Christmas now. Kelsey watched as her mother put the ring on the table and she felt her heart being torn apart. There was a time, long ago, where this family was indeed a happy one. It was before Hogwarts. She could remember the happy family dinners they used to have and the love that would circulate in the room. Why couldn't things go back to that?
"No! No please don't get a divorce. You guys can work this out! Dad can dump the whore and we can go back to how things were before all this hatred came into our lives," Kelsey pleaded, walking over to the table and picking up her mother's ring. She realized how much she had taken things for granted in her life. She spent most of her life hating her parents who obviously loved her when she could of loved them back and made this family work. Now that she realized what she had, she wasn't prepared to let it all go away.
"Take the ring back mum! Take it back! You both can get some counseling and make this marriage work! You must still love each other," Kelsey pleaded to her mother, holding out the ring to her. She wanted her mother to take the ring and try to make it work. She didn't want this family to end. If there was no hope for Mandy and Robert, what hope was there for Kelsey and James? Kelsey never seen a functioning relationship before so if her parents were the subject for a divorce, wouldn't Kelsey have a high risk to get one two? What if she too was not capable of being faithful to her husband? Kelsey glanced over to her father with saddened eyes.
"You keep saying how you want to change and become a better father, well here is your chance! Dump that stupid whore and stay here with your family. Make this work, dad. I can't watch this end. I know I'm not going to be able to handle this but it is not only for me, but it is for you guys too. Please, for once in your life, do the right thing," Kelsey pleaded to her father, trying to make him stay. She was sure of one thing, if her parents really did get a divorce, she would not be going to visit either of them in their homes. If she did, the reality of how she made them get a divorce would kill her inside. To her, this was just another thing that was her fault. Though it was not true, she still felt like she had caused this horrible thing to happen.

Robert waited in silence. He waited for the yelling, maybe some hit, hell even a spell or two to come flying at him. In a way, Robert had to thank Kelsey for spilling the beans. He felt a great weight come off his chest but, only to move onto his shoulders. Robert heard the soft clink of metal hitting the marble of the counter top. His brow furrowed in a slight frown. This was completely unexpected. He slowly turned his head and looked at Mandy. She wasn't crying. Heck, she didn't even look that angry about it. Robert exchanged a silent exchange of understanding. It was quite obvious that she knew as much as he did their marriage had been over for some time.
Robert sighed, feeling slightly better about the entire situation. He wished, however, that Kelsey hadn't been the one to tell. In fact, he rather preferred if she just wasn't around at this moment. Kelsey didn't deserve to witness this moment. He knew it wouldn't give her much hope for her own marriage. "The papers will be here, on the counter tomorrow. All you have to do is sign and it'll be your house, and half of what's in our fault - which my name will be removed from. There's three extra vaults with thirty thousand galleons in them each. One for each of the children. They get it when they graduate," he said, hiding what emotion he felt. Robert felt an immense amount of guilt and remorse about his failed marriage. He knew he could have done a hell of a lot better. He just didn't. Maybe now there was one less thing Jack had to use against him.
He forced himself to look at Kelsey but, with a hard expression. Robert didn't remain mad at her. He know felt grateful that she said anything. He just didn't like the fact that she was going to witness her parents' divorce. "I told you yesterday. That," he pointed to the sink, "ruins your life. It takes everything from you, including yourself." Robert just ignored the fact that Kelsey mentioned he was the one that fucked things up. He knew full well everything was his fault. Everything. The failed marriage, Kelsey being a horocrux, the rape - all of that and so much more was his fault. Would admitting that out loud to them make Kelsey feel better? Probably not but, he decided to say it anyway. Robert glanced at Mandy first. "I know it's my fault. For that, I am sorry," he said, with meaning. He meant every word of it.
Please, for once in your life, do the right thing."
Robert clenched his jaw. He couldn't stand to look at Kelsey and see that look on her face, the sadness in her eyes. It killed him on the inside. He sighed and leaned back on the counter, crossing his arms and staring at the floor. Robert glanced at Mandy, hoping she would be able to explain this better than he. Either way, no matter who said it, the truth might as well be told. Robert was actually going to talk about his feelings once again. With a heavy sigh he shook his head. "Kelsey," he said as softly as he could. "This is the right thing. It's not fair to your mother, or even to you and your brothers, if we were to stay together. I do love your mother, for the fact she is you mother and tolerated me this long but," he glanced at Mandy again. "things aren't the same. Besides, even if we could work things out, I'm not so sure your mother would want to and I don't blame her." Robert rubbed his jaw, unsure how this would sink in with Kelsey. She just had to understand that somethings couldn't be fixed.
this is soooooo the thread of the month. it's just too epic not to be.

“Kelsey…” Mandy began, but couldn’t conduct herself to say anymore. Why should she stop her daughter was speaking her thoughts, why should she stop herself from spilling how she really felt? Perhaps it was the fear of being the fool. They where actually giving up, after twenty or so years of their ups and downs. They had everyone fooled. Hell, Mandy was fooling herself, behaving like everything was fine. Nothing was fine, but she wouldn’t realize it even if it slapped her in the face. She didn’t want to believe it. She had watched her parents through their good and bad days, they had inspired her to accept Robert’s proposal, to start a family, she had believed from the very start that they would always pull through. They just weren’t as strong as Mandy had thought. Mandy could always look on the brightside, they had three gorgeous children together, and she was pretty sure that he wasn’t going to get that with any other woman that came into his life.
Mandy watched in despair as her daughter attempted to repair the mess that had been caused, the mess that was completely out of her control. The wedding ring that sat on the counter was picked up once again, and Kelsey held it for a moment. All she could do was watch, there was nothing that she could say, she didn’t have the courage to turn and query him the y she wanted to, she barely had the courage to look at him, in fear that one glance could weaken her strong exterior.
Not knowing what to do as Kelsey held the ring in front of her Mandy took it off her daughter, but with the single touch of her wedding ring, it already caused pain. Clasping her fingers around it, she held it tightly. “I’m sorry Kelsey…” Finding her voice, she looked at her daughter in despair as she continued to plead with both of her parents to reunite, but it was far to late to mend whatever there was left. This was the last thing she wanted Kelsey to witness, especially not after her incident at school, her daughter’s life wasn’t looking so bright right now and for her to have to witness her parents breaking marriage, Mandy had no idea how much of an impact that would be on her.
When Robert spoke, almost immediately her eyes shut, practically wincing at the very sound of his voice. He already had the divorce papers…and everything so perfectly planned. That was what had got to Mandy, that was what caused her heart to rocket up to her throat. Drawing her eyes back to Robert, she opened her mouth, only to shut it closed again. What was the point in speaking? What was the point to even attempt to stop whatever the hell was happening. “I don’t want the money.” Mandy spoke, moving away from him. Finally deciding that she was hurt, that whatever was happening was slowly tearing her apart. Approaching Kelsey, she placed her hand on her shoulder, “It’ll be okay…” The only thing a mother could say to her daughter, the only comforting words she could find.
As he apologized, Mandy tried her hardest to block him out. She wanted to forget about everything, she wanted to forget about him and all the things that he had once promised her. What the hell did vows mean these days? ‘Till death to us part? With his last words, Mandy turned to look at him, “Don’t put that on me. Of course I would want to work things out! I have wasted twenty years of my life on you, twenty years where I could have married a nice guy, who wouldn’t go around screwing anything that walks, who would actually stick around. Instead I got stuck with you, and I guess I should have known better, I should have known you where like that…” It was then that the tears welled up in her hazel eyes, but she refused to let them fall. “Just answer this, are you happy with, whoever she or they are?” Mandy finally asked, looking directly at him.

Kelsey didn't know what to do anymore. Everything was hitting her all at once and it was overwhelming. How could she go back to school after this and after everything that had happened. Her family was broken, her life was falling apart and there seemed to be nothing she could do to keep it pieced together. She needed to make some changes, and one would be school. There was nothing there for her anymore. There was only two things that were keeping her in school at the moment. One was James, and the other was an escape from her house. Now Hogwarts had become a hell on earth for her and home was the same way. She had to run away. She needed to go somewhere far where she could think and make sense of everything.
"It won't ruin my life father. That has already been done. Alcohol is the only thing keeping me from going on some kind of killing rampage because of all the kept up anger I am feeling inside," Kelsey said to her father, talking slowly and calmly. Her words were harsh as she spoke. All these emotions inside of her were making her want to go insane. There were so many that she couldn't sort through them all. Suddenly, a ray of hope dance around as her mother took the ring from her. This was it. She was going to stay with her father and everything was going to be alright. Then, like a comet rushing to earth, Kelsey's world was shattered and that ray of hope was clouded over. Realization that they were not getting back together filled Kelsey's head.
As thoughts raced in her head, Kelsey dawned upon something. Crying and yelling was not going to get her parent's back together. There was nothing she could do at this point to make it happen. Kelsey was finished with everything. It was time she took her life into her own hands instead of crying all of the time. She then learned that life was not kind and it was just cruel. She was done feeling sorry for herself. She was done with everything. She was going to do what she wanted to do, and nothing could stop her. She knew that this was not about her. She needed to be there for her mother. Kelsey was tired of everything always being about her and people always feeling sorry for her. It was time she thought of other people for a change and not herself.
"I know it'll be okay mom. I just wish things didn't have to end like this," Kelsey said, turning around to look at her mother with loving eyes even though they were badly tear stained. She glanced at her father with no expression. She blamed him for this. He was the one who gave up and cheated. To Kelsey, it felt like he not only cheated on her mother but on their family. Merlin knows, he could have another family someone! The perfect family that he has always wanted. Then her mother said something that made her heart pang with sorrow. Was he happy with this other woman? Was this woman all the family he needed?
"I don't see how he would be happy with a whore like that. I can't believe you are actually divorcing your wife of twenty years for that ghastly thing of a woman. I know we talked about this before but I'm not okay with it," Kelsey said, moving away from her mother and advancing towards her father. A hurt expression read throughout her face as she thought of what to do next. Her mind was so clouded with emotions that she could not think straight. Before she knew it she was heading to the liquor cabinet again and grabbing a bottle of scotch before walking towards the exit of the room.
"I am not going back to Hogwarts and I am not staying here either. I'm done with all of this. Tell James not to worry, I will owl him with my location, where ever that may be," Kelsey said in a cold tone as she opened the bottle of scotch and took a long drink. She then exited the room and headed up the stairs towards her own room. She entered the room and took another drink before diving for a bag and began to pack whatever she could find. She didn't know where she would go after this. The only things on her mind right now was the scotch and packing her bags to leave this all behind.

“I don’t want the money.”
[/i] Robert may have had this planned out but, he hadn't expected that. He wasn't just going to leave her with nothing. He may be an asshole, bastard, heck whatever name you want to apply to him but, he wasn't just going to leave Mandy with nothing. Robert felt he owed it to her. He didn't want to leave the mother of his children with nothing. It wasn't like he was giving her blood money - no, that he was keeping for himself. Well, whether she liked it or not, he was giving her the money. "It won't ruin my life father. That has already been done. Alcohol is the only thing keeping me from going on some kind of killing rampage because of all the kept up anger I am feeling inside,"[/i] Robert continued to stare at the floor. Kelsey's and Mandy's words were beginning to sink in. He had royally fucked up in so many ways, he wasn't sure what he was doing anymore. Robert wasn't certain about anything. He was beginning to doubt his relationship with Mackenzie. The odds that they would actually work out like she wanted seemed to be against them. Robert just didn't have the time or energy to completely devote himself to a new relationship but, at the same time he didn't' want to throw it out the window. On the other hand, he didn't want to just cast Mandy aside either but, he felt he had to for more reasons than just Mackenzie. "Don’t put that on me. Of course I would want to work things out!
“Just answer this, are you happy with, whoever she or they are?”Robert looked at his wife in a way he hadn't in quite some time. That look was completely erased and taken over by sadness with a blink of an eye. He held a glum expression, and deep sadness took over his eyes. Robert was genuinely showing the emotion he felt the most at this moment. He had no idea how to answer her. Did she want to hear he was happier or did she want to actually work things out? "I don't see how he would be happy with a whore like that. I can't believe you are actually divorcing your wife of twenty years for that ghastly thing of a woman. I know we talked about this before but I'm not okay with it,"[/i] Robert's eyes shifted to Kelsey and he felt a pain worse than death. He deeply wished that he could wake up from this nightmare that was his life and have everything be fine. He now felt that Kelsey would revert back to hating him because of this night. He regretted ever telling her anything. Robert had wanted to wait until everything was Kelsey was sorted out before he tackled his marriage. Nothing ever went the way he wanted it to lately. It used to be the opposite. Robert was honestly afraid to say anything. He didn't know what to say. He didn't know how to answer Mandy's questions. Robert was far from happy with anything. Sure, he was happy when he was with Mackenzie but, he never really thought on her too much outside of their time together. He wondered if that was because he had so much other things on his plate. Would that change if things ever cleared up? Robert didn't know. Robert felt like the weight on his shoulders was crushing him on the spot. "I am not going back to Hogwarts and I am not staying here either. I'm done with all of this. Tell James not to worry, I will owl him with my location, where ever that may be."[/i] So that was it. He'd finally done it. Robert had lost everything. He'd lost his family progressively through the night and over the years, and Kelsey was now going to run away to Merlin knows where. Plus, she just took his best bottle of scotch with her. He really wanted that for later. Now he was mixed with the angry you-not-leaving-school father half and the 'I'm entirely lost and alone' half of him. In between there was more anger and pain. He was just all anger and pain. It was beginning to be way too much to bare. Robert walked over to their kitchen table and sat down. He needed to sit. Robert slumped in the chair, his arms hanging at his sides, and his head drooped down. He still had yet to speak a word. He still didn't know what to say. Robert's eyes were stinging and for once, he didn't care. He felt unfamiliar moisture fill his eyes and threaten to fall. Maybe he could do them all a favor and just kill himself, or better yet, let Jack do it. He'd probably enjoying killing Robert anyway. No, he'd probably be more cruel than just kill him, he'd let him live. "We can't protect her if she leaves," he said, finally. He was avoiding Mandy's question for now. What was more important was the fact that Kelsey was getting ready to basically run away. Robert sniffed and then sat up straighter and straightened out his suit coat. He was just going to stand in front of the door and not let Kelsey leave. Robert didn't even care if she called him everything under the song. She wasn't leaving. If she wanted to leave that bad, she'd have to kill him to make him move. Taking a deep breath, Robert rose and strode over to the front door. He didn't doubt that Kelsey would try to exit there. While he waited for her to come down, Robert went so far as to take out his wand and charm the back door so it couldn't be opened. He tucked his wand back inside his coat and leaned his back against he door with his arms crossed. Robert wasn't going to let Kelsey ruin the rest of her life by leaving. He didn't care if she hated him, she was going to finish Hogwarts and graduate. Then, she could run away. But not now, not today. [/size][/blockquote] |

If he planned on leaving, Mandy wanted nothing, nothing that he could give her. Money couldn’t bring her the happiness she desired, it may have helped in the past, but now it was a completely different situation. She had a stable job, one that paid well and from now on that was what she would depend on. If he no longer needed her, she was positive that she no longer needed to depend on him. That was what she needed to focus on, that’s what would keep her strong.
The quicker he left, the easier it would be, on all of them. It would give her time to adjust to being a thirty-six year old divorcee and single mother. Hell she was not saying that out loud. To think, she used to take pity on women with lives like that, and when she came across the common one or two, she’d be thankful for the live she lead, even if it wasn’t perfect, far from it actually. But now everything went from bad to worse, all in one night. That was why everything wasn’t settling in as it should, that was why she couldn’t bring herself to flee from the eyes of her family and break down, she wouldn’t allow herself to. Not now anyway.
The sense of want and need washed over her, she wanted to ask, plea for him to reconsider, to think about the destruction he was causing to their family. Mandy was a proud woman though, even on the verge of breakdown, she wouldn’t, couldn’t allow herself to beg. If he was happy, truly happy with the woman, whoever she may be, then she had no other option but to let him have another chance at happiness.
Almost reflecting the look that Robert had flashed at her, she kept her eyes on him. It was evident that both of them where hurting, whether it was for the same or different reasons. Mandy was officially a failure, a failure as a daughter, a mother, and now a wife. She would never have admitted it before, but now she could no longer find reason to fight it, and to just accept that everything she had gained in life, was being ripped from her.
Waiting, Mandy feared for the worst, she expected Robert to explain how much happier he was, how this woman had gotten under his skin, and how much more of a better person she was than Mandy. Nothing came though, he didn’t speak, almost fearing to. Mandy was thankful for that, maybe she didn’t want to know if he was truly happy after all. Actually, she wanted to believe he wasn’t happy with everything, and by the look of it, he didn’t look like he was bursting of beans.
Looking at Kelsey as she spoke to her father in a tone of hurt and sorrow, she was defending Mandy, defending their family and even if the timing wasn’t perfect, Mandy felt proud of Kelsey, for saying the words Mandy didn’t have the strength to say. What she wasn’t proud of was that she was keen on picking up the habits of her father, turning to alcohol as a comfort, but even Mandy couldn’t blame her daughter.
As Kelsey made a quick exit, probably planning on packing, Mandy sighed and covered her face with her hands. Is this really what her life had come down to? Sadly yes. The silence of the room was almost deafening. Slowly approaching Robert, she placed her hand lightly on his shoulder and parted her lips, she wanted to say something, anything, but she couldn’t. So dropping her hand, she moved away from him and looked towards the door. Kelsey’s movements could still be heard, and by the sound of it, she was packing to leave. As much as Mandy didn’t want to disappoint, Kelsey was going nowhere.
Robert was the next to exit and make his way over to the entrance door, and as he did so, Mandy placed the wedding band on the counter top once again before following. “Kelsey, come downstairs, please?” She called up to her daughter and stood at the bottom on the stairs. Merlin, she hoped she wouldn’t have to go up there and fight for peace with her daughter until she realized how much of a mistake her decision was.

As Kelsey scrambled around her room packing there was only one thing on her mind, where she would go. There were many options available to her at this moment. She could stay in a small inn in Hogsmeade so that she could be close to James or she could take time to travel and maybe visit wizarding towns in North America or even France. Now that she would be out of the castle, anything would be possible. Kelsey had saved money just in case a time like this had come. She had called it her run away stash. There was close to five thousand galleons in the stash that she had accumulated from saving her allowances and any money she had. She was planing to use that money this summer to help her and James get started in their lives but she supposed that she could just get a job.
Though she knew she should be crying, Kelsey felt no tears dare to exit her eyes. It seemed the scotch was working its magic to numb any pain she was feeling. Taking another deep drink, Kelsey capped the bottle and threw it on her bed as she began to pack again. Her small duffel bag was beginning to become full of clothing as she pretty much emptied her closet it. Kelsey was almost fully in her closet when she noticed something she thought was gone forever. There, behind a pile of clothing in the back of her closet was her stuffed plush monkey, monks. Now monks used to be Kelsey's only friend. He was missing a tail and was rather worn out. Kelsey smiled as she picked up the monkey and held it before her. So many memories began to come flooding back. One that stuck out the most was when she first got this toy. She was five and pet cat had just died. Her heart was breaking and to fix it, her parents had came home with the toy for Kelsey. They told her that anytime she felt sad or alone all she needed to do was hold onto the monkey and tell it was was bothering her so that she would feel better. She remembered the love in the room that day that her parents got her this gift. It was one of the last times she ever felt that much love in that room with her parents again. Kelsey let a single tear glisten down her cheeks before wiping it away. She stuffed the monkey into her bag before zippering it up.
Kelsey was about to try and escape out her window when she heard her name being called. She knew she couldn't leave like this. Rolling her eyes, Kelsey took her bag along with her as she stepped out of her room and looked into one last time. Memories of the times she spent in this room crying rushed back to her. Turning away, Kelsey closed the door and began to head down the hall and descended the stairs.
"What? Look nothing you can say will make me stay. There is nothing for me here anymore and there is defiantly nothing left for me at Hogwarts," Kelsey said to her parents as she walked down the stairs. She looked to see her mother waiting at the bottom and her father standing in front of the door. Kelsey knew that he had probably did some kind of magical barrier on the back door, leaving her no way to escape except if she went back upstairs and headed out through her window. Kelsey gained some courage and walked over to her father, looking up at him with daggers for eyes.
"Let me leave," Kelsey said in a slow, stern voice. She backed away from her father so she could see both of her parents to give him enough room to move, if he chose to. Kelsey didn't know why her parents would not let her leave. It was what she wanted after all. She hated being at Hogwarts and all she wanted to do was explore the world while she could. She knew her life was going to be a short one. There was no way she was going to stay in school for another moment with the luck she was having.
"Why should I not run away anyways? Give me some reasons. Hogwarts is hell, home is now a worst hell so there is no place for me to call home. I just want to give you guys space to work out your marriage issues. It will be easier if you are not worrying about me all of the time. If I am out of your lives it will be easier for you guys to figure out everything in your lives," Kelsey said, her words true. She was thinking that leaving would somehow help her parents in a twisted way. She knew that it wasn't true, but at this point she would use every excuse she could find to get her way so she could leave.

Robert was beginning to think he was wrong. He was wrong for thinking that Mandy had felt like he did. What if his feelings were only temporary? Robert just didn't know what to do anymore. Everything was hell, and he was seeking sanctuary in places he shouldn't - bottles and other women. While deep in his troubling thoughts of his own pain, Robert felt Mandy's hand come in contact with his shoulder. It was soft but, still she touched him. It gave him a small, small, small glimmer of hope. Maybe all was not lost. Twenty plus years was a lot to throw away.
Robert glanced up at Mandy after she moved away, when her back was to him. She might not be acting like it but, he knew this was hurting her. It was kind of funny how in the worst situations, one's best memories shine through the darkness. For example, briefly, Robert remembered how Mandy looked when they were married. They were just kids then themselves but, he remembered how he couldn't take his eyes off her the entire day. She was just bursting with happiness that it just made her radiant. If Robert could remember all that clear as day, there had to be hope that with time, he could maybe fix everything.
It felt like to took Kelsey years to get her ass back downstairs. Robert didn't care how mean of a look she gave him, he wasn't moving. The stare of a seventeen year old didn't scare him. What scared him was her actually leaving. Robert didn't want her go. If Kelsey left, things would be a million times worse then now. He'd most likely drink himself to death, or do something stupid and get killed. If she wanted reasons, Robert would come up with them.
He glanced at Mandy to gain some reassurance of sorts before he spoke, hoping that he was speaking for the both of them. Robert gave Kelsey a hard, fierce stare. A stare that he hadn't used in forever. It was look he had reserved for his younger days, when he was out hunting traitors - like himself now. It usually scared the pants off of wizards and witches. "Running away won't help me or your mother. It would make things worse. If I let you leave, it wouldn't keep me from worrying about you. I always worry, it's my job to worry. I can't protect you from them if you leave." Despite his mad expression, Robert spoke in a rather calm voice.
"You would be leaving James behind for a few months. I can almost guarantee that the Potters won't let him leave school either. Most importantly, I don't want you to leave," The last part he said slowly, and with more emphasis. Robert hoped that Kelsey would get it. He had been most honest with her this year than almost any other time in her life. It there was any time where that should pay off, it should be now. Robert wasn't ready for Kelsey to leave, not just yet. He had hoped that he had one more year with her, her seventh year. Was it too much for a father to ask? Plus, if Kelsey did anything stupid, like kill herself because of this whole horocrux deal, this was not the last memory he wanted of her to be like.

There was so much she wanted to say, so much she needed to tell, but she couldn’t find the voice to do so. The more thought that she gave to the situation, Mandy discovered she wasn’t all that sure if she was willing to let Robert leave so easily. Was he willing to leave so easily? They had a family, they had a twenty year relationship, and he was just going to leave because of one woman. So the two hadn’t been on the best of terms in quite some time, but that was simply because they hadn’t been trying, wasn’t it?
Mandy could only hope that her husband would come to his senses, that he had so much more to lose, and very little to gain. She was pretty sure Anton would hold a grudge against him too, but they had never been on good terms anyway. Vince, her youngest and reserved son, would probably not give much thought to the situation, she was pretty sure he’d just take it in his stride and that was only because he was less fiery than his other siblings. However it wasn’t about who would hold a grudge against him or not, considering Mandy was just as guilty as he was. And she couldn’t help but wonder ‘what if’ what if she paid more attention to her children’s feelings, what if she had been better wife. It was quite clear she wasn’t cut out to handle this.
Oh her father was probably rolling over in his grave. Now she could understand why he didn’t believe in divorce, that was why he stayed with her mother all those years, to avoid the conflict and complication. They hadn’t been the best suited couple, always throwing things at each other, arguing over the smallest things, but when they weren’t fighting, there was a lot of love shared between them, even that was evident. It was a shame her relationship hadn’t been like that. A complete failure.
Mandy returned Robert’s gaze, allowing the corners of her lips to twitch up, only slightly though, practically making it invisible. Put in situations like these, made people think about the possibilities to mend something broken. In their case Mandy wasn’t exactly sure if it completely shattered, or just cracked, but she was determined to find out. “Listen to your father Kelsey,” Mandy said softly, keeping her eyes on her daughter who seemed to have every little fight in her just to get out of this place, and really, who could blame her? If Mandy was facing the problems Kelsey had, she would surely have legged it to the door, way sooner than this.
Moving towards the stairs, she took a seat on one of the small platforms and turned her attention back to her family. “Kelsey, let’s think about this. Please stay, I’m going to need you here…and your father is right, we can’t protect you if something happens.” Leaning her head against the banister, she released a small sigh before continuing, “You’ll not be helping anyone if you run off, that’s for sure.” The only thing that it would result in would be Mandy growing premature grey hairs from all the stress.
