<br/>Riley heard Sirius yelling the password outside of the portrait door and for a moment she froze. It was so easy believing that somehow she would cause the people she cared about pain and hurt. Why couldn't they just leave her alone? She didn't want to hurt anyone anymore. Especially not Lily, Sirius and James.<br/><br/>A gentle hiccup escaped past her lips when the curtain was pulled back and she couldn't stop the tears, wanting to pretend that she was alright. She didn't want them to see how upset she was because she didn't deserve any type of relationship with them. Her blue eyes widened when the red head climbed up and pulled her towards her and soon her body was trembling as more tears fell down her cheeks.<br/><br/>Riley closed her eyes trying her best to block out all of Sirius' words afraid that he was lying to her. They would leave her, he couldn't predict the future. But then again how could she? She shook her head trying to stop those thoughts as she nibbled on her bottom lip before her eyes looked up at Lily and then Sirius. Would they really stay with her? Even if she were to only be a burden upon them all?<br/><br/>"D-Do you promise you wont leave me? P-Please?" She asked, her words barely audible as a sob escaped from her lips and she hugged the red head even tighter. "I-I don't want to hurt you guys... you're all I have now" She said honestly rubbing at her eyes trying to make the tears stop.<br/><br/>
