Forever, my love

28. Living a Lie.

•George's Pov•

A week had gone by and i still haven't spoken to Lilac. Mostly because Maddison forbid it but also because i wouldn't know what to say to her. All those years we spent building up our friendship just for it to be broken by one girl that i dated for like a week in grade 7. Lilac seemed to handle the situation awfully well, where as i'm finding it rather hard to cope. She seems happier and i'm happy for her, i am. But that should be me there with her. Not Miles Bletchley.

I often find myself glaring over at them. The only thing keeping me going right now is when i hear Lilac's laugh, although it's not because of me anymore. I couldn't stand Miles, why him. I mean anyone is better than Goyle, but Miles? Was she doing this to get to me. I had so many questions, I missed her terribly. The worst part of all of this is that i'm not with her. I went from talking to her every single day, to now talking for months and months on end, and it's absolutely killing me. The only thing i honoured about Miles is that he protected Lilac from his grubby, filthy friends.

I try my best to act like i'm okay with all of this but i feel miserable. I lost the one and only girl that i was ever happy with.

"How you feeling today Georgie?" Fred asked as he sat next to me at the dining table.

"Fine." I replied.

"Are you really though?" He asked.

"I just i hate feeling li-" I begin.

"Hey babe." Maddison said as she smothered me with kisses.

"Hi." I reply.

"Later." Fred said as he got up, without acknowledging Madison.

I chuckled.

"What's so funny?" Maddison asked with an annoyed look on her face.

"Nothing." I say as i try to eat.

She continued to pester me the entire time at breakfast. I look over and see Lilac enter the room and instantly felt my heart rate increase. I wasn't surprised, this always happened when she was around.

•Lilac's POV•

Miles and I seemed to be the new 'hot couple' of Hogwarts, many people stared and glared over at us almost all the time. Whenever we entered a room together, we had an audience of people stare at us. I'm guessing that Miles loves the attention, but me? not so much. I really couldn't have cared less i didn't really care about anything anymore. Most people were happy to see us together. Most, that excluded George of course. He glared us down and gave Miles filthy looks almost all the time. I don't understand his problem, this was his own doing. He had the choice of fixing it and he didn't, so i don't give him the time of day now.

Although, i do miss that friendship, but that was long over by now. I still speak to Fred from time to time, after all he is my potions partner. He was as sweet as ever, he was happy that i was happy and i was just happy that he was still talking to me after all that George and I went through.

So much has happened within the past few months and i would have never imagined that my life would turn out the way it has. I'm not complaining, i just expected a lot do things to be different than what they are. I'm happy for George he seems happier now and that's all that matters.

I enter the great hall for breakfast and see George almost instantly, staring us down as usual. Miles was by my side.

"Can we sit at the Ravenclaw table today, Goyle makes me uncomfortable." I said while i quickly glanced over at George then looked away almost immediately. He was still staring.

"Sure thing babe, i just need to give something to blaise." Miles replied.

We walk over to the Slytherin table and Miles said morning to everyone. The whole table made me uncomfortable. I'm guessing they still aren't taking it well that i got sorted into a different house last year, but what's done is done. I love the Ravenclaw house.
