SAGE WALTMORE

I RAN MY my fingers along the black comforter. The soft scent of pine and strong mint swifted past my nose. "Draco?" I asked. "Do you like it? The comforter do you like it?" He asked.

I prefer white but black matches the theme of the room. "Yes...it's very nice." I responded. "One day we're going to get caught." I said.

"No one has to know what we do. It's not like there's plenty of students skipping their classe already" he said. I chuckled at the thought. Draco sat onto the bed. The mattress sinking in from his weight. Must be a foam mattress.

Draco played with the one ring he had. "Someone's gonna catch us" I huffed out. Draco looked up at me. "Chérie no one is gonna catch us. You just over think" He teased. I rolled my eyes at him in annoyance. "Right, whatever" I responded with a smirk. I ran my fingers along the ribs of the violent set on his nightstand, feeling the wood. How nice it is to play violin. The room seemed as cold as ever but I didn't mind it. If it did I would have gotten goosebumps. Or perhaps I didn't know I had them.

I removed my fingers from the violin. I wish I could leave. Maybe for a day, go somewhere wild and deep beauty within itself. Like Paris or some place in America.

Are there even beautiful places in America?

What do I want to do when I leave here. Will I even leave here? I pulled myself out of my thoughts and looked at Draco. His eyes seemed like they were burning holes into my skin. Like I always feel

Everyday. Every hour. Every minute and every second.

"Draco why am I here?" I asked. "Why are you alive or here. In my bedroom" he responded. Both. "In your bedroom" I said. "I don't know. You can answer that yourself." He said. I truly can't. We all do things we can't exactly answer, such as this.

"Right- right you're right-" I was cut off. "-No I'm not. You can't even answer yourself, you'll believe anything someone tells you." He said. Yeah maybe I will. "As long as they say it's alright. As long as they say you don't you can't or you're fine you'll believe it." He finished.

I took a deep huff. He's right but there's no way I'm ever going to accept that. "Oh" was all I could get out.

I sat on his bed as he stared at me. "I wish I could stop time," I said randomly. My eyes grew wide. Eventually you'll have too many thoughts to think about so some just spills out. As if you were pouring water in a cup, the never ending flow causes it to overspill.

I don't know why I have these thoughts if I don't want them. Maybe if they were actually about something important I'd be able to make some about it.

Draco didn't stare at me as if I were stupid or crazy. Most people did. He looked amused. "I don't mean that-" I started.

"Why?" He asked. "I don't- I'm not sure..." I responded. He scooted and leaned in closer to me. His soft lips kissed my temple. We're friends. We're friends. He continued to kiss my temple. His warm breath against my soft skin. We're friends. His lips moved towards my jawline. We're friends, we are friends.

He left soft pecks against my jaw. Why's he doing this to me? Why does he? I inhaled deeply when he moved his lips towards my neck. Focusing only on my neck. We are frien- his hand met my other cheek. We are- I let him. I shouldn't have. Just give yourself over Sage.

My hand brushed his shoulder. We- his lips moved back to my jawline. I let him. W- my hand brushed the back of his neck. I felt his lips brush against mine. His palm still on my cheek as his thumb ran over my chin. We are not just friends.

"I won't kiss your lips unless you let me," he whispered. Then I won't let him. I found myself nodding. I shouldn't have. He is not mine.

They never are.

I fluttered my eyes closed as his lips instantly connected with mine. His soft lips. The warmth of mine on his. It was soft and sweet. Something I wanted to last forever, I felt safe. It felt delicate but fragile as if it could easily break and break forever. It'll hurt him if I pull away. If can't- if he I wish I could stop it all. The thoughts ruin everything.

I pulled away quickly and my eyes instantly opened. I scooted away from him as he quickly opened his eyes and removed his hand from my face. "What's wrong?" He asked. My eyes started to feel watery. "I'm sorry I can't" I choked out.

I can't even think straight how am I supposed to kiss someone close to me. How can I even be in a relationship? "You can't what?" He asked. "I can't kiss you. It's wrong...I can't even- I can't even think clearly and I don't want you to be upset with me." I said. He looked at me shocked. As if I were not in the wrong.

"Sage, I would never get mad at you for making a choice" he said. I don't want to be seen with anyone right now. I feel bad. "You don't have to feel bad about it either. I can leave for a bit if you want" He suggested.

"You shouldn't have to leave your own bedroom because I overthink." I responded. He gave me a soft smile and scooted over to me again. My eyes grew wider. He pulled me into a hug. It was soft like his kiss. "I'd never get upset with you. I promise" he said softly.

He promised. He always did. Why did he always promise? I'll believe him. Promises are meant to be kept. I believe him.


It might as well have been a swimming pool
As they both lay there covered in sweat
Clinging to each other as if
Being apart would totally destroy them
Neither giving in until a sharing took place
-C. J. Krieger
