Chase shook her head hard. "Oh no no no, Eli doesn't like me like that! Not at all! I bet I'm just some kind of.. nuisance to him anyway.. I mean... sure we have fun." She took a deep breath of air and then sighed. "And he's amazing really, but everyone says he plays with a girl's heart.. But he's just so... so.. perfect." She said and sighed putting her head on the table. "He's famous too, big painter in France... he wants to paint me.." She said slowly. "He only does models, so I guess it's awesome, but that's probably what he'll do with me, paint me.. then let me alone.. just like everyone else."
"They paint me a picture, with their lies and their hopes.. tell me they love me, and then... they throw water on the canvas." She whispered and shook her head. "It's like.. I feel so much trust for them... so much.. love." She took a deep breath. "And they let me down every time.. every single time.. Why would Eli be any different? He may be Prince Charming to me, but he's Prince Charming to every other girl in the school. I'm no different at all. I'm just.. I'm the one who needs him more then he needs me.." She said softly.
"Elijah is amazing.. he's... he's arrogant, and funny, he's sweet and loyal.. and every single person tells me the same thing. 'stay away from the Krum.' but I can't! How can I? He's the only real friend I have up there! Sure I talk to a few Hufflepuffs and stuff.. but.. they are all the same, they trust with their hearts, and even though I want to say I don't anymore.. I do.. and I want to! But, I have to pull back.. or else it'll get shot again, and this time.." She said slowly and then her eyes found Sophia's. "I don't think I can put all the pieces back together again.."
