Jesse looked at Chase when she stood up, the wreck she was in. He could not believe that she had been cheating on him. There was no explaining what she was doing, it was clear to him. Then Daniel stood up and Jesse turned his head slowly to him, staring at him with mixed feelings. On one hand he was Daniel, a fellow Gryffindor and somewhat of a friend to Jesse, on the other hand he was enemy number one to Jesse. The thoughts of him pulling his wand on Daniel came back into his head quickly, but he did not reach for his wand, he only stood there staring at Daniel.
Then he laughed. Who did he think he was saying that Jesse was going to hurt anybody. He could not believe that someone would think that Jesse was capable of hurting anyone who was innocent, especially the girl he thought he had loved. That thought crushed him, just moments ago he had been in love with the girl who stood in front of him. This was why he did not open up to people, this was the exact reason why. He should not have been so stupid, he knew this would happen.
"Sit down, I am not going to hurt anybody." He said it with a sort of resentment, looking Daniel directly in the eyes trying to get the point across that Jesse was not a mindless fool who went around attacking people, even though if he did it would totally be justified. His eyes slowly went back to Chase, he could barely look at her. He let out a deep breath, and he looked down at the package that had contained the dress. He picked it up and and bounced it in his hands before he tossed it on the bed next to Chase.
"Got that dress you been wanting. Cost me a bundle but anything for my girl." He did not look at her when he said it, but he knew it would hurt her when it came out. Still, the pain she would feel was nothing compared to the way his heart felt right now. Like it had been ripped out, cut into pieces, stomped on, and ground into meat. He looked at her one more time before he let out another breath and turned to leave, praying that no one would follow him. He wanted to be away.
