Y/N, Tina, Newt, Queenie, and Jacob had all agreed on going to a bar for the night out. Newt had voted for staying at the apartment and having a small gathering, but the others had insisted on going out.

Right now, Y/N was sitting alone at the bar, men giving appreciative glances at her skimpy dress. Rolling her eyes, she ordered for a simple beer for the night.

Receiving her drink, Y/N walked over to the table where the others were sitting. She sat down at a spare chair, and sighed, putting her chin on her hand.

"Tired, Y/N?" Jacob asked, amused at her bored expression.

"No way," she scoffed, "the evening hasn't even begun yet. I'm just bored. Plus, where's Newt and Tina?"

"You mean just Newt," Queenie said softly. 

"Oh no, Queenie," Y/N groaned. "You know I enjoy your sister's company as much as Newt's." That wasn't a lie: you and Tina had been good friends ever since you had met at Ilvermony, since you were both sorted into the Thunderbird houses. 

But Y/N had noticed Tina's affection for Newt, and she had noticed how Newt turned even more shy and awkward around Tina. However, she kept these thoughts deep inside her, hoping that it would all go away someday. 

Slamming her drink down with finality, she said, "I'm going to go to the washroom. You guys stay here, and no smooch-y business, okay?"

Winking, Jacob replied, "Okay, pretty lady." 

Y/N rolled her eyes for what seemed to be the hundredth time that day. Pulling her dress down to cover her (milky-white/tan/golden/caramel/dark) thighs, she exited the table and into the dim hallway where the bathrooms were. 

Suddenly, hearing a voice, Y/N froze. Pressing against the wall to avoid her shadow from being seen, she slowly walked along it. 

"T-Tina, I-I blush a lot because of my light s-skin tone," she could hear. So it was Tina and Newt. Just when she was going to open her mouth to exclaim how angry she was that they went away during a lovely evening with friends, what Tina said made Y/N's mouth drop open. 

"Well, Mr. Scamander, I'd like to experiment how hard I can make you blush," Tina said in a sultry tone. 

Y/N covered her own mouth, afraid a sound would be uttered. 

Tina was moving closer to Newt, who wasn't even protesting. "Does this make you blush?" Tina whispered. Newt nodded, reddening. 

"Or this?" Tina had leaned so close to Newt that they were almost kissing. 

And that was when Y/N broke. She turned on her heels and ran out of the hall. Y/N quickly checked her eyes for tears, and feeling that there were none, went over to Jacob and Queenie's table. 

"Come on, we're leaving," Y/N said in a commanding voice, grabbing her coat and putting it on. 

"But Y/N, Tina and Newt--" 

Y/N cut Queenie off by saying, "I don't give a care. They can catch up later. If you don't want to come with me, don't. I'll just go by myself."

Storming out of the bar, Y/N headed to the apartment she shared with Queenie and Tina. She paid for 1/3 of the taxes and living essentials. She looked back to see if the others were following. They weren't. 

"Y/N!" She heard a voice yell. Queenie. 

Y/N stopped in her tracks and waited for Queenie to catch up with her. 

"You love him, don't you?" Queenie blurted out. 

"Queenie, stop reading my--"

"Mind," Queenie finished for her. "I'm sorry, it's just easy to read your mind when you're upset."

After a long silence, Queenie said, "And you just saw them flirting, so you're heartbroken."

"Yes," Y/N replied nonchalantly, as if it meant nothing to her. But then she saw Newt and Tina again, and the jealousy came back instantly. "See you later at the apartment, Queenie."

And she apparated away, tears in her eyes, in front of a shocked Queenie.

Why would Newt even love her anyways? After all, she was just a sick, pathetic bitch. She wasn't as beautiful as Tina, nor as smart or sophisticated. 

Y/N felt terrible, like she wanted to die. 

"Why do I love him?" she whispered, "If I know he doesn't even care about me? He obviously loves Tina. After all, Tina's pretty and so-so poised and all."

Y/N was in her own room. After apparating there, she yanked her hair out of its fancy hairstyle, and plopped on the bed in her dress.

Of course Newt loved Tina. Tina was perfect. Tina was kind. Tina was smart. Tina was caring. Tina was sweet. Tina was gentle. Tina and Newt would be a perfect couple. 

And I'm just a worthless piece of dirt. I'm not as smart as Tina or as pretty as her. I'm not as kind as her. I'm nothing compared to her, Y/N thought.

Tears rolled down her cheeks, staining the mattress beneath her. 

She bolted up when she heard a knock. 

"Y/N?" she heard a soft voice ask. British accent. Gentle. It was Newt.

"Yes?" Y/N replied, hurriedly wiping her cheeks. 

"Can I come in?"

"No, not now Newt, just give me a couple of--"

Newt was already in her room. 

"Holy shit, Newt, when I say 'not now', I mean it!"

"Y/N, is everything okay? Queenie and Jacob told me that you left early."

"Yeah, I'm fine," she said. 

"You don't look fine," Newt commented. "Look, Y/N, you can tell me anything, alright?"

"Not everything," Y/N mumbled. 

"What was that?" he asked. 

Y/N could feel his gaze on her, so she looked down at her (tiny/elegantly long)hands. She felt self-conscious, with trails of black running down her face. 

"Y/N, did anybody hurt you?" he asked, reaching for her hand, but she jerked away. 

"Not that you would care," she said sharply, causing him to retreat, hurt. 

"You know," Newt said after an uncomfortable silence, "that I'll always be there for you. And of course I care about you, you're my best friend."

"That's the problem," Y/N said sadly, "You don't see me as anything more than a friend." She had said it. Merlin's beard, she had said it!

Stupid, stupid, she chastised herself, you're supposed to act smooth like you don't care, not like a lovesick bunny!

"I'm sorry Newt, I don't know what came over me-" she blubbered, but was cut off by him. 

"You should have told me you felt this way before," he said softly, holding her hand, helping her stand up. "Are you jealous of Tina?"

"No! I mean, yes, sort of, bad not in a bad way!" Y/N exclaimed. 

"You can confide in me, Y/N. Tina's mesmerizing, but Y/N, you're-you're something even more," Newt whispered, tilting her chin. 

He was drawing closer to her, and before she knew it, his lips were on hers. They moved slowly and passionately, just like she imagined--

"What is this?" 

Newt and Y/N jumped apart. Y/N looked horrifically to the speaker, which was, unfortunately, Tina. 

"T-Tina?" she stuttered. 

"No, Tina, it isn't what it looks like!" Newt said, panicking, looking at the brunette with wide eyes. 

Tina was now crying. "I thought you liked me, as a significant other."

"Tina, Newt didn't--"

"And you!" she yelled, "You knew I loved him, but you had to take him from you. You always have to be the winner, Y/N, huh? You were always better than me at everything! You got all of the boys! So you couldn't just let me get Newt? You couldn't just let me be happy, for once?"

Y/N was shocked. Y/N was the one always jealous of Tina. She had always envied her beauty and intelligence. 

"Tina, I didn't mean--"

"Oh yes you did. And you have to make my life miserable. Well, fine then, I'm going to leave you the fuck alone!"

Y/N was getting angry now. "So you're the victim now? You're the one who became the valedictorian! You're the one that's pretty, and has a sister that loves her! You're the one that's smart! And if you don't want to be my friend, don't!"

"I see how it is," Tina hissed. "You never wanted to be with me anyways. You just wanted to use me. And now you're using Newt." 

"Tina, stop it, please," Newt said, "I can explain it all. It's not what it looks like."

"What?" Y/N exclaimed. "You said I could tell you anything! And you said that I was more than Tina!"

Tina swallowed, and, with tears running down her face, said, "I've been compared all my life. To Queenie and to Y/N. But Newt, I thought you actually understood me. I was wrong."

And with those words, she left, Newt chasing after her.

Dinner was silent and awkward, with only three people sitting at the table. Newt had gone upstairs to comfort an upset Tina, who had refused to come down to dinner. 

"So, Y/N, do you want to help with my bakery tomorrow?" Jacob asked, attempting to make conversation. 

"Sorry, not this time," Y/N replied quietly, "I have work."

Queenie and Jacob had heard it all, but they avoided telling that to Y/N. They felt pity for Y/N, Tina, and Newt. 

"I'm going to go to my room," Y/N said, her hands shakily gathering her plates. 

"But Y/N, you've barely eaten any!" Queenie protested. 

Y/N gave her a gaze that made her shut up. "Not now, Queenie. I know that you know what happened, and I'm not feeling well."

Y/N placed the dishes in the sink (she was too tired to even wash them with magic) and went upstairs to her room. 

She brushed her teeth and took a shower, letting her hair down. Her E/C eyes looked sadly at the mirror, wanting to smash it. 

In front of her stood a broken girl who had felt like she was on the top of world for a single second, and fell back onto the ground the next. 

This was what love does to you. It destroys you slowly, she thought, And I happen to be the one being destroyed.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

It had been seven days. Seven days of Newt and Tina ignoring Y/N. Seven whole days. Y/N didn't know how she could stand it, but she took Jacob's advice to work in the bakery during the weekends, and since she had work on the weekdays, she barely saw Tina, except for a glance or two at MACUSA. 

Tina also had been going out to eat at restaurants every night. Newt insisted he eat his meal upstairs, away from the others. 

Y/N was scrubbing and cleaning the floor with her magic, and heard the door open. Seeing who it was, she turned back like nothing had happened. 

"Y/N, we need to talk," Newt said. 

"I don't want to talk," she replied. 

"I love you, Y/N," he uttered out. "I wasn't able to say it before, but I love you with all my heart. I love Tina, too, but as a friend, and I didn't mean what I said that day. I love you, heart and soul, Y/N."

Y/N froze, tears of joy in her eyes. Then she turned around and hugged Newt, hard. And she kissed him this time. 

But they were interrupted again. However, it was only Tina smiling at them brightly when they turned around. 

"I'm sorry, Y/N. And I'm sorry, Newt. I shouldn't have said those terrible, terrible things. I was just so angry, and I-I didn't know what else to say. But you two are meant to be together, and I shouldn't do anything to stop your relationship."

"Why would you do this?" Newt asked. 

"Because you two are my best friends, and I see how much love you look at each other with. Plus," she grinned, "I think that I met somebody that fancies me today."

Y/N laughed and embraced Tina. 

"Thank you," she whispered. 

"I would do it a million times just to see you happy," Tina replied back, "After all, you are my best friend. 

And three people were very happy that night.
