Lover over Brother

Chapter 3

Hailey's POV

I sat in my bedroom, reading a book. A very interesting book. A boy and a girl, falling in love and running away until the boy is killed and the girl follows behind in an attempt to save him. Pretty gruesome book but I've read it 3 times already. The faint sound of piano keys could be heard from down the hall.

"UGH."

I can hear my brother getting upset over a piece he has been trying to perfect since the beginning of the month. I can hear multiple keys get pressed at the same time and I know he has given up on trying. He has been at it for 2 hours. Oh by the way, Im Hailey Malfoy. How rude of me for not introducing myself. My brother is Draco Malfoy if that isn't obvious.

He is a mean little git I'll tell you that. Also the favorite of my father because he is a fucking boy. I had overheard my father one day saying that if I had been the only one born and my brother hadn't been, they would have given me away. But because we are twins and I have an older brother, here I am today.

"Hailey! Hailey!" I can hear him calling my name but I try to keep my eyes glued to my book.

He swept her up in his arms, a small but sweet laugh escaping her mouth. He looked into her eyes and it seemed like time had stopped. For a moment, it was stillness and silence. But then he leaned forward and his lips-

"HAILEY!"

I sighed and put my book down, standing up from my window seat and walking over to my door and opening it.

"What do you want now?" I ask, making sure to sound annoyed. Which I am- I was getting to a good part of my book.

"I think I got the piece right. Almost." He said. I could see him across the hall, sitting at the grand piano. I walked closer to him as he started playing the song and it actually sounded very sweet. It sounded beautiful. Absolutely wonderful. That was until he messed up halfway through. He grumbled in frustration and shut the piano lid, huffing.

"Keep practicing." I say.

He glared at me. "I have been- FOR TWO HOURS!"

"Keep it going. You still suck." I taunted. I heard a small scoff and a few angry words were mumbled. I made my way back to my room and sat on the edge of the bed. We were leaving for school the next day and I was very excited. I had my trunk half packed, clothes and school supplies were spilling out of it. I made sure to finish packing before it got to late.

I got ready for bed, my silk pajamas hanging loosely off my frame. I loved the feeling of being in these. I climbed into my bed and curled up under my blankets. I was half asleep when my mother came in and kissed my head, whispering goodnight. I opened my eyes more to look up at her and she smiled down at me and brushed my hair out of my face. I love her so much. She is everything to me. Everything. She sat on the edge of my bed, continuing to stroke my hair. I wanted to stay up and just embrace the comforting moment forever but I knew she was doing this to make me sleep. And it worked. I fell asleep rather shortly after and had a great nights rest. And now comes the big day. Our first day of 3rd year.
