A sequel to my book 'I Love Plants' (spoilers)
ON HOLD
"Albus and Scorpius failed. Jude, you can save your father. You wouldn't give up an opportunity like that would you?" Delphi said in a sultry voice.
Jude Hellenberg lost his father to the war bu...

The knot in my stomach tightened as I saw his hand move from hers and snake around her waist. I watch as he kisses her shoulder softly and she giggles at something Calum says in her ear.
My eyes glaze over, I'm frozen in this spot. Then her eyes meet mine and I almost fall backwards.
We had ignored each other for so long, she had done well avoiding me at every family gathering as well. My heart ached when I watched her cheer for Calum at quidditch games. My stomach churned when I saw her lay her head on his shoulder in the library after classes. My heart broke when I walked into Three broomsticks and saw them kissing.
Every moment I saw her since the day I had made the mistake of confronting Calum that one summer had been torture. Seeing their friendship then their relationship blossom. It made me sick to my stomach. I told myself it was because I was worried for her, because I knew Calum was evil, and it was. But most of all it was because I was jealous.
I hated to admit it but every second spent away from Rue made me miss our friendship even more. Not a second went by that I ever hated her for ignoring me.
"Jude!" Rose yells as she snaps infront of my face.
"You are staring at her again Hellenberg, get over yourself." Rose chuckles.
"Shove off Rosie, I don't need this right now. Go kiss James' feet why don't you?" I scoff at her.
"When will you admit you love her Jude?" She questions.
I turn towards the small red headed girl in surprise. I feel my cheeks burn red and an evil smirk grows on her face as she knows she struck a nerve.
"Aha so you do like Rue, I knew it, I've always known it. Typical." She rolls her eyes.
"At least I have feelings." I huff before walking away from her and making my way into the Potter house to find some quiet from the craziness outside.
Was that true? I mean I questioned that maybe I had a slight crush on Rue, but did I love her? I mean of course I loved her, but was I in love with her? Rose was right, it sounded so lame and stereotypical. Falling in love with my best friend? My father was in love with her mother and now I'm in love with her daughter, it sounded like a bad romance novel. I chuckle slightly at the thought of it.
"What's so funny?" I hear her asks from behind me.
I jump at her voice.
"Woah didn't mean to surprise you Jude..." she says cheerfully as she grabs a glass of water.
I watch her every move. Over the years she had grown more beautiful. Her hair still wavy and shiny chocolate brown. Her skin looked so soft and smooth. Her lips looked plump, thoughts of kissing her found their way into my head and I slapped my hands on both of my cheeks to make it go away. When I open my eyes I see Rue drinking her water staring at me with curious eyes.
