Part 19- coming back

Part 19

May 12 9:40- June 2 1:33

Normal pov:

    Annie and Cordelia would be leaving for Hogwarts in two hours and Annie was extremely nervous. Ever since the ball she had been avoiding Theodore. She didn't go to the brunch and she didn't answer any of his letters. She didn't even look at them.

    She didn't know what had gotten into him that night but she knew it was something to do with Leo. She was angry that he thought he could control her, upset that she kissed him. She didn't even know why she kissed him. Maybe because they were so close to each other? Because she fancies him? Or because it was in the heat of the moment. She was so unclear about what was going through her mind but also she didn't think her kissing him was a mistake.

    She wasn't even sure where they stood anymore. All she knew was that she was going to stay clear from him until she figured out what was going on in her mind. She hadn't told Cordelia and wasn't planning on it. She wanted to keep this quiet.

    As Annie and Cordelia packed up their bags they talked about going back. Annie was switching into Cordelia and Daphne's room so they talked about what decorations to put up around and how Annie should personalize her space.

    Annie had only a few things to pack up when she reached behind her and pulled out the dark green hoodie that Theo had given her. Despite how she felt Annie had worn the necklace that Theo had gotten her everyday. She pulled the sweatshirt up to her nose and let the aroma fly up. It reminded her of that night. Her lips on his, the minty taste of his lips and the way that his arms perfectly held her waist. Annie has had many kisses in her life but none of them felt like the one with Theo. No explosion of fireworks or spark. It made her other kisses look like nothing.

-----------------

    Theo went back to his dads after that night. He tried to find Annie but she disappeared. He asked everyone but no one had said they saw her. He was so frustrated. When he got back he wrote her letter after letter but only ended up sending two of them. He didn't want to overwhelm her. But when she wasn't responding he got even more mad.

    He broke things around the house and he destroyed walls making holes after holes. He went on long run exhausting himself. He just needed something. He needed her. But evidently he couldn't seem to get a hold of her. He tried everything in his power to contact her but it didn't work.

    Then he found out through Draco that was told by Astoria that she had moved dorms to Daphne and Annie. Astoria even told him that Annie and Cordelia had gone to visit the sisters after christmas. Astoria said that Annie looked unaffected and fine.

    He knew that she was avoiding him and it hurt. She was his best friend and now everything was down the drain. She slipped out of his grasp. He continued to hate himself for the way he acted and the way he tried to control her.

He wanted so much for her yet he wanted her all for himself.

    Theo also noticed that the kiss that the pair had was the best kiss he had ever experienced. He wondered if she felt the fireworks that went off. The tingling on his lips as she had felt on hers after. Why had the kiss between the two of them been different from the rest but he was determined to feel it again.

    After he finished packing his trunk the maids hauled it down the stairs as he took a couple more looks in the mirror. When he looked at his reflection the past week was evident on his face. The dark bags under his eyes indicate the little sleep he got. The bruising on his knuckles and cuts all over his body from all of the breaking and shattering that he had been doing.
