"No... its fine... its in the past and its my problem.. I dont want to burden anyone else with my problems" he smiled at her. Tears suddenly began flowing down his face, "Im sorry" he said as he turned to her and hugged her. "Really sorry... it just.. hurts"

Grace was shocked by Keifer's sudden change of emotion. She hugged him back, tightly, and whispered, "the pain reminds us of what is real! And reminds us that we are human. We hurt to make the good times stand out and shine through the darkness and pain." She was saying it to Keifer but actually it was a reinsurance that her own hurt was worth it.

"Im still in love with him! But i dont want to be!" He looked at her, his silvery eyes glazed through the tears. "I love him, but i really like Brandon... I dont.. .I couldnt trust Jessie again"

Grace looked at Keifer, his cheeks wet with tears. She cupped her cold hands on his cheeks and wipe his tears with her thumbs. She couldn't say anything because she knew he knew it all already.

Keifer stood up and walked to the nearest bookshelf. He quickly stopped the tears and tried to hide how he was feeling. He turned to Grace with a smile... "So..."

Grace smiled. Keifer was trying to hide behind a mask of strength. She admired him for it. She had neither the strength nor the will to do the same. She smiled at him again and repeated, "so..." she stood up and walked to him and ran her finger over the spine of a book still in the shelf, "Ancient runes?" she asked.

Keifer smiled, inside he was still torn apart but he didnt want to let it show. "Yeah, ancient runes. I've liked it since i was a child and i have a pretty good knowlege of it"

Grace smiled at Keifer. "That's lovely," Grace giggled, "having found something that you enjoy and are good at at such a young age." She smiled reassuringly at her ravenclaw friend.

Grace didn't need to ask to understand what he was talking about. She put her arms around him and hugged him tightly, "it'll be alright," she whispered, "you'll see, you'll find a way."

"I hope so" he said. He smiled weakly at her as she hugged him. It was hard not to trust Grace, he trusted her with his life.

Grace smiled and released Keifer from her bear hug. She looked around and realized why she had come to the library all those hours ago. "Hey, Keif, con you help me look for something? A book? About my family, about The Marks'?" She had seen it once, on a top shelf. "The Marks Family Heritage," she mumbled.

Grace smiled at Keifer and nodded. She spun on her heal and walked to the next shelf. "Herbology," it and she read. Next two shelves, "Quidditch," next "Family Trees, perfect. Keifer over here," she called around the corner. "Marks ... Marks ... Marks ..." she mumbled as she searched the shelf for her family's book.

Keifer walked over and began searching high and low for it, eventually his eyes fell on a quite old one. The name was slightly worn. But he could see an 'M K S' he pulled the book down and handed it to her "Is this it?"
