<sup>A lone boy was curled up underneath the rose bushes. A soft breathing could be heard, as young Gerard slept. It had been a long and hard day seeing as the Slytherin had been more than busy. It seemed he had been rushing around constantly doing this, that or the other. Too hard for one boy. He could not help but want to fall asleep in the Lane. After all, this beautiful place held many memories from the past. With Kelly Locend ♥ Gawd, how he missed her. She was forever his special one, even if she had gone. But where did that leave him? Was he taken or single? Dearie me, Gerard was going through a very confusing time at the moment. No wonder he wanted to escape the world.

Dreams filled him. Gerard stirred, but did not awake. Perhaps another was gazing upon him at this certain time, but even so they would unlikely wake him, unless they were too talk. Rather loudly. A smile was planted carefully on his face, however he was not aware of this. His dreams obviously held good memories. Of Kelly, Avery and others. His friends. How he missed them. It seemed so unfair that Gerard had not seen them yet, and would only hope they some how entered his life once again. Surely, they would? Panda Girl was his fellow superhero. Duckie Boy and Panda Girl, how could they be forgotten. And then there was Jackson, his friend. Best even. They had met several times (he believed). Kelly, she could never be replaced. Why couldn't she come back?

What had happened to her? The dream that had once been happy with smiles, turned into a nightmare with a frown. Gerard was worried, who wouldn't be. If you cared about someone, it was only natural to want to know where they were. Where they had disappeared too. For all he knew, she could've been murdered.

A single tear rolled down his cheek. That could well be true for all he knew.</sup>

[Alessa Gillespie]

Alessa going home seemed to be the best during the break at Hogwarts. She didn't realize though how fast it went past her. She needed time to herself. All the feelings that was running threw her seemed to take a tole on her. Everything that she felt, everything that she had seemed to be still pointing at Nathaniel. Her very best friend, no her love. The love of her life. Yet would he pick her? She knew that he felt the same way about her. He loved her. Yet why did he haft to love another. She had no clue that he had feelings for another girl as well. Yet that wouldn't really matter.

She still would wait for the day that he would knock on her door. The day he would come to her, take her in his arms and make everything alright. That would be the best moment in her life. She knew him and her was made for each other. She felt it, but would he open his eyes and realize the same thing before it was too late?

Only time would tell, Alessa's feet had seemed to brought her to Rose Petal Lane this day. She didn't know why she came here. Something luring her here. She didn't know what. A new friend? She didn't know. As she kept walking down the stone path, she stumbled upon a boy sleeping under the rosebushes. Pausing, she bit her bottom lip, toying with her lip ring. Luring her crystal blue orbs around the area, she glanced back down at the boy. Kneeling down before him, she gently shook his shoulder. "do you think thats a best place to be sleeping?" she asked the boy, hoping that she wouldn't scare him too much.

<sup>If she had just spoken, Gerard wouldn't have woken. But the girl shook his shoulder slightly, causing him to awake ever so softly. She had not scared him, but shocked him. However Ger remained calm, knowing never to get angry at someone. He may be in the house of Slytherin but even so he was not a terrible person. Ger had been sorted into that house because of his personality which did include the anger, as well as his parents before hand being sorted into Slytherin. His parents, how could anyone like him? They were self-centred jerks - their hearts cold. It sickened him how people like them could even be parents, they did not deserve children. But they never treated Gerard as their children, only his horrific siblings. How dare they. But Ger had built a better life for him, his uncle becoming a guardian to him now. With Bella and Daniel. That had been the main reason for leaving Hogwarts, to get all of this sorted out. Finally it had, he could safely return to his school. Hoping for friends to still be there.

"Perhaps not, but I was very tired," he revealed to the girl, carefully sitting upright and gazing to the older girl. She must be older, she seemed so. Ger blinked once or twice to remove any 'sleep' remained in them. "Thankyou for awakening me."

It felt necessary to introduce himself to this girl. As a half-smile played upon his boy-ish lips, a hand outstretchd to her. "Gerard Turner. Pleasure." The Slytherin felt quite pleased to see a new face on his first real day back. He had returned within Term-Change but that hardly counted. Today was the day he did his best to reaquaint himself with old pals, and send a letter back to Bella and Daniel telling them what they were missing. He wished for them to return, but sadly they prefered to stay at home. Maybe in the future, but who knows now. Nevertheless, he continued looking to thee fine lady that was kneeled beside him, his arms placed in his lap.</sup>

[Alessa Gillespie]

Alessa blinked slightly as she looked down upon the boy's awakening. She smiled slightly, as he spoke to her. She was happy to meet a new face. Everything the past couple of weeks of this month. Had been very hard for Alessa to cope with. She couldn't think straight, sleep right. Or even really eat anything. Without the haunting of everything that had happened to her. Everything bad that happened to Alessa wasn't fair for her. She didn't deserve any of it.

"Perhaps not, but I was very tired," Alessa smiled once more, brushing her long black hair out of her face. "Awww, Well maybe a nap in your dorm room would be better. Or maybe just a soft sofa?" she asked him curiously. "Thankyou for awakening me." Alessa smiled once more. "No problem" She said in a soft tone.

Seeing his reached out hand for her, she took it and shook it gently. "Gerard Turner. Pleasure." Alessa nodded and spoke back. "Alessa Gillespie, very nice to meet you" Alessa answered him. Positioning herself so she was now sitting on her legs, her long black hair catching the wind now and then as she sat there with her new friend. Her soft blue eyes looking over at him with much curiosity. For she was always curious about new people.

"So" Alessa began, as she thought of what to ask this new friend of hers. "You new around here?" she asked him curiously. But not helping to think that he did seem familiar to her. Like she seem him somewhere. But she couldn't put her finger where. Maybe it was a class, or maybe Hogsmead?

<sup>She seemed sad. Gerard could always tell. One way or another. But she did - something had happened. He didn't know what, but it had hurt her. Call him a genius, but he wasn't. For years he had been in pain (broken) because of his family. Since then, whenever another had been hurt, he always seemed to work it out. From either their emotions, or their attitude. Gawd, it seem that Mister Turner was quite the young fella', but he wasn't. He merely cared, 'twas all.

"That could've been better, but I thought it was quite amazing outside today. Plus I've always wanted to sleep under a rose bush," Gerard joked. He gave a small friendly poke, since he very much felt like doing so. A small smile played against his lips. Actually beyond happy to have met someone this beautiful day. "Do you come here often?" A plain question, but all the same - a question.

The hand returned to his lap, her name reaching his ears. Alessa. Alessa Gillespie. It sounded all familiar, but he did not why. Perhaps they had met before? Or maybe he'd read her name in the Paper? It confused him, but eventually it would be something he worked out. "Unusual name, but still quite amazing. I like it, Alessa,"</sup> Gerard laughed softly. The Slytherin many times had met those were unusual, yet fantastic names. Alessa became one of these people today. A friend? Maybe soon ..

Another question. Always questions, but he did not mind. When meeting another, you always needed to ask things. This, that or the other. "Not new, no." Stopped, but he begun again. "I was here before, not that many months ago. I'm back to being a First Year, but I am no stranger to this school. And you Alessa, I assume you have been her many terms. Fifth Year? Sixth?"

[/color] He didn't know why he guessed her being in a higher year, but year he did. A shrug. It was just another guess.[/sup][/color][/blockquote][/font]

[Alessa Gillespie]

He was pretty interesting to Alessa, or she thought so anyway. He seemed he would be a good friend to get to know. She smiled to herself, this day seemed to be getting better as the day passed. "That could've been better, but I thought it was quite amazing outside today. Plus I've always wanted to sleep under a rose bush," Alessa couldn't help but to giggle at that. He was cute,she thought to herself. He also seemed to have an innocence in him.

Feeling him poke her, she poked him back and laughed. "Do you come here often?" Alessa shook her head. "Mostly.." Alessa began to say, as she thought this was a place for the lovers to come with each other. To sit about and hold hands and to make out. She shook her head. "No.." She said finally. "I found mostly that couples come here. And when you are not with someone, as myself. Living the single life. I have no one here really to enjoy the company with..." She said nodding her head. Her eyes looking over at him with curiosity.

"Unusual name, but still quite amazing. I like it, Alessa," Alessa laughed at that comment. "Amazing?" she asked. "Hmm i wouldn't go that far." She said jokingly. She smiled a bit then he answered her questions. One of many that she knew she would ask. For she was a very curious girl. "I was here before, not that many months ago. I'm back to being a First Year, but I am no stranger to this school. And you Alessa, I assume you have been her many terms. Fifth Year? Sixth?" Alessa nodded. "I'm actually on my seventh year here" she said proudly. "Prefect also" she added proudly.

i miss our kisses

<sup>Her giggle, so sweet. It seemed like she had no giggled in so long, but what did he know. Gerard was simply a boy. He didn't really know much about other's emotions, only the ones he felt himself. Just a lone boy and nothing more. How could he know how Alessa was feeling. Gerard didn't even have a clue if she was saddened or not. She was a girl whom has possibly been hurt, possibly not. There was no point in trying to work it out, the only way to know was to ask her - Ger didn't plan on doing that. Or did he?

"I know how that feels." A sigh. Ever since returning here, and Kelly being nowhere, being here felt somewhat weird. It was as though something had been ripped from him. Part of his heart. The part she had taken over. "I miss walking here with the one you love, and being happy. Those days seem so long ago for me. But surely Alessa, you must have someone. How could a beautiful girl such as yourself be without a man. A man that loves her ever so much." Gerard did not know whether he was reopening old wounds. Old wounds about a former lover, but he had to say. It was no cheesy chat-up line, nothing like that. Just a way of being friendly. Being a friend. How he was meant to be. A girl was meant to be told they were beautiful. Meant to be cherished and cared about. This was how it was meant to be, but why was it not?

Gerard laughed also. "Yes, amazing. I mean it." Oh yes, it was. She could not deny it. It was a name he'd never come across, therefore making it special (amazing). It was his way. Or something like that. A smile played upon his lonely lips. Alessa. It gave him a chance to smile. A single chance, but still a chance.

An older woman, how wonderful. "I feel so younger compared to you, even though we are possibly the same age." She could well be seventeen, in her seventh year. Then there was him. Seventeen, and in his First Year. That seemed very much odd. But things happened, what can you do. "And a Prefect? Impressive." The second prefect he knew. Jackson. Gerard was yet to know he'd become Head Boy.</sup>
