LORENZO BERKSHIRE'S POV:
I was so fucking angry, Pansy thought that Michelle caused Draco to leave. Michele could have fucking died. I'm finding Draco and i'm going to fucking kill him. Murder him with my own hands. I don't even know why he left, he doesn't even like me, but Michele is a great person and didn't deserve what Pansy did to her. I found Blaise, we are chill. And I know he knows where this Ricky kid lives.
"Blaise!"
He turned his head to look at who called him.
"Hm?"
"Do you know anyone named Ricky?"
"Oh hell yeah we are buds, he hasn't been in school for like a week tho."
"Great, where does he live?"
"Why..?"
"I think Draco might be there and I need to have a word with him."
"Be definitely isn't there, they aren't on good terms right now."
"I don't give a shit where does he live?"

DRACO MALFOY'S POV:
It's been 20 hours on this bloody train. Just sitting in silence. It reminded me of me and Michelle's first date and what we did on the train. Fuck I miss her. I miss her lips, I miss her touch, I miss her voice, I miss her eyes, her hair, fuck even her breathing near me. I don't know why Ricky lives so fucking far away, me being stuck in my own thoughts is not good. Last time that happened I decided to fucking leave her, fuck why did I fucking leave her. Fuck fuck fuck. All I could do is cuss myself out for being so stupid. It's to late, i'm not a total idiot. It was the right thing leaving her. She will move on maybe to weaselbee or someone.
**
The train comes to a stop and I gather my things to walk the rest of the way.
I walk off and I see similar surroundings. I walk until I see the trees that surrounded Rickys house. He had a stone house with a garden in the front surrounded by trees. It was two story's and had a guest rooms so i'm hoping they forgive me and let me stay here for a bit.
Sigh.
I finally walk up and knock on the door, his mom answers and to my surprise she grew a smile and hugged me.
"Oh Draco! It's been so long where have you been?"
"Hi Mrs.Peterson. I really need to speak to Ricky, is he here?"
"Ah yes he is, Ricky dear you have a guest!"
"One second mum!"
I hear him shout. I brace myself for his reaction to seeing me after he beat the living shit out of me.

He walked down stairs and we started made eye contact. I gulped and tightened my grip around the strap of my bag. His eyes travel from my eyes to my bags with a confused look.
"Can I speak with you?"
I ask hoping he says yes.
"Mom a moment alone please?"
"Of course!"
She waltzed out of the living room and Ricky stepped closer.
"What are you doing here Malfoy."
"I'm sorry Ricky. I know I fucked up but you have to believe me. Just let me talk to you i'll tell you everything I just need to stay somewhere, I couldn't go home."
He scoffed and rolled his tongue on the inside of his cheek.
"Go on then."
I explained everything but left out the Pansy situation, nobody needed to know about that, more people already know then I would like.
"You fucking left Michelle?"
"I fucking had to!"
"I see no reason in anything you just told me of why you had to leave."
"I couldn't face her Ricky."
"After what? What did you do that's so fucked up you had to leave her?"
I squeezed my fists until they were pale white.
"You know what never-mind I don't want to know how fucked up you are. Just drop your stuff in the guest room and don't try to start a conversation with me."
I walked past him and up the stairs to the guest room.

LORENZO BERKSHIRE'S POV:
I was walking towards the train station, i'm going to find Draco and beat his ass. He deserves every painful thing that comes to him. They called the people for my train onto the train and I stepped in. I'm going to drag him back to Hogwarts whether he likes it or not. He's going to apologize to Michelle and tell her why he left. It was going to take me over 2 days to find this Ricky dudes house at the most.

DRACO MALFOY'S POV:
I was unloading all my clothes into the dresser when I heard a knock on the door.
"Yes?"
Ricky opened the door and pokes his head in.
"Can I come in?"
"Yeah come in."
He walked in and sat on the bed.
"Look so i'm sorry about earlier, but you need to go back to Michelle and at least just tell her the real reason why you left, I don't know what it is. But I can already tell your making her hate herself cause she thinks she fucked up."
I never even thought about that. She is probably thinking to herself right now it was her fault I left her. No no no.
"Well I cant afford another train ticket back to Hogwarts."
I was panicking I need to see her, I needed to finally tell her everything even if it risks losing her she can't hate herself.
"I do, and mum can pitch in. She's a fool for romance."
I didn't even grab anything I just grabbed Rickys wrist and dragged him downstairs.

MICHELLE PARKINSON'S POV:
I cant stand knowing Draco left me because I did something. Did I hurt him? Did I say something? I know it's my fault he left, he said it and Pansy said it. Maybe Pansy was right, she said he didn't love me, maybe he never will. I couldn't even walk after Pansy did that to me. My whole body felt like jello. I wanted to die. That's the best I could put it. I wanted to disappear just let all the pain go away forever. Zoey never talked to me, Luna is always with Zoey so I can't be around her. And the rest of my friends are somewhere I don't know. Everyone else hated me. I just wanted to know what I did. So I cant at least try to fix it. I loved him and I hated the fact that I fucked up so bad I made him leave.

RICKY PETERSON'S POV:
"Mum can we borrow some money it's urgent."
"What for?"
"A train ticket."
"Oh are you finally returning to Hogwarts?"
"Sure, mum please?"
Draco's knuckles were white and he was anxious.
"I'll look and see what trains are available."
"Thank you mum."
**
"Ricky dear!"
"Yes mum?"
"There aren't any trains available until 48 hours."
"Fuck!"
Draco shouted running his hands through his hair.
"Why did I leave Ricky? Why would I be so fucking stupid!"
"Look, it's fine i'm sure she will be fine for the next two days."
"We can't take any risks Ricky."
"Well what else are we going to do."
"We have to fucking wait just please let me be alone."
And i immediately walked out of his room I didn't want to see him at the state he was in.
**
Two days have past and i'm worried about Draco, he hasn't come out of his room and I hear him crying at night. But today we will finally be able to go to Hogwarts.

LORENZO BERKSHIRES POV:
The train finally stopped and it was my turn to get off, I was so fucking ready to bust open his whole face. How could he be so stupid? Michelle hates herself and with her sister fucking torturing her she is in some deep shit.

I walked off the train and had no idea what direction to go all I know is when I see a lot of trees i'm there.
**
I've been walking for about 1 hour when I start seeing trees, in merlins name I hope i'm close. I jog over the hill and near the trees when I see a stone house, I hope this is it or else i'm going to look like a fool. I walk up and bang my fists on the door, a short women with brown hair and an apron on opens it with a raised eyebrow.
"Hello, who are you?"
She asked.
"Hi i'm Lorenzo, by chance does someone by the name of Ricky live here?"
"Yes he is my son."
"Great, can I speak to him."
"Ricky! Someone's here."
I tapped my foot on the stone and heard footsteps running down the stairs. I met gaze with a brown haired boy, we look similar.
"Hello, Ricky is it?"
"Yes who are you?"
"I'm a friend of Michelle's."
His eyes widened and he sped walked over to the door shutting it in his mothers face.
"You know Michelle?"
"Yes we are quite close, now cut the small talk. Is Draco here?"
He gulped and looked down.
"Maybe."
"Let me have a word with him."
"I don't think that's a good id-
"Just let me see the dick will you?"
He huffed and walked back inside shutting the door. I heard rustling and shouting before the blonde was shoved outside the door.

I grinned at myself on how rough he looked, good.
"What do you want Lorenzo?"
"Why the fuck would you do that to Michelle you absolute dick head."
I spat shoving him a little bit into the door.
He stayed silent and gulped, he felt guilty.
"You know, she told me everything."
He met my gaze.
"And if i'm being quite honest I want to fucking kill you."
"Lorenzo, you don't understand. It was hard for me-
"Really? It was hard for you? Did you have to hear the person you love and would die for say they are done with you, say they want nothing to do with you anymore?"
"I had to fucking say that to the person I love and would die for!"
"Why? You had no fucking reason to leave. Michelle is fucking drinking and hating herself because she thinks she did something to make you fall out of love with her, not to fucking mention her sister."
"What did Pansy do."
He said back almost immediately. He had worry in his eyes.
"Oh you should have heard the way Michelle's voice quivered when she was telling me how Pansy fucking almost killed her, held her wand up to her neck and spat that you hated her. That you never loved her. That all Michelle ever was to you was a play toy. She fucking crucioed her.
I pushed him back with every word I spoke. I saw the guilt and regret in his eyes when I said the word crucio.
"Please tell me your lying Enzo."
"I wish I fucking was."
His eyes got glassy and he ran his fingers through his hair.
"Fuck fuck fuck."
He spat as a tear ran down his cheek.
"I came here to fucking kill you but you deserve to live with the grief and knowing you caused Michelle that. And now your going to have to face her and tell her the exact reason on why you actually left."
