If only...

Chapter 13-Decisions decisions

POV of Cecilia Black
As I was pondering over how to avoid Theo and how to tell my sister about what I had done, I hadn't realized someone was walking towards me.
"So what are you thinking about now Cecilia?" The monotone  voice said. Ugh of course it was him.
"What do you want Draco." I said in an exasperated voice.
"Only to see my favourite angry girl." He said sarcastically. " I actually followed you." He said, admitting to his crime.
"Of course you did."  I said bitterly.
"What was I supposed to do, you looked super moody so I thought I would figure out what was wrong with you this time. You know I still care about you.... Even if we haven't been, well you know...." He trailed off.
"Thanks???" I said kind of confused why he was being nice to me while I'm a big jerk towards him.
"So let me guess why your mad or upset. You and Theo had started to really like each other but now you think back and regret getting so close to him, so now you hate figuring out how to push him away to basically save your feelings and your heart from being broken again." He said lazily
"What do you mean my heart being broken!? No one has broken my heart." That wasn't entirely true....
"I mean Cedric. You had quite a relationship with him last year. I do remember. Don't think I've forgotten how much you cried when he died." Draco said. My heart sunk. Of course I remembered. Draco was there that day.
"Well that's old news." I said brushing off Cedric's dearth with a flourish of the hand. It hurt my heart of how rude I just was about Cedric. But I couldn't show it.
"Cecilia I know that your fear is and you know it too. Your scared of getting to close to someone and have them snatched from underneath you." Draco said softly.
"Well maybe I am." I snapped back, "Im so done with everyone I love being taken away from me!  First my mother and father, then Cedric!!!" I cried.
"I know that it must be so hard on you but you need to remember your father is back in your life and you also have a sister who loves you and will never leave you and you always have me." He added, "Your close friend who won't leave you."
For the first time, I actually felt bad for Draco, he knew he was out of the running.
"Draco-" I started not actually knowing what I was going to say. "I, I do still like you. Why do you think I went with Theo last night. I went to make you jealous..... but then...." I didn't know how to say the next part.
"But then you realized you also like Theo." He finished for me.
"Yeah...." I said feeling kinda foolish. Was I this obvious?
"Look I know I messed up...."
"No it was me, I freaked out as I thought you and I were getting too close and I was scared that... that I'd lose you." I said finally realizing the real reason I had freaked out that night.
"I don't want to lose you Cecilia..." he said moving closer to me.
"I don't either" I said breathlessly. He came closer to me and looked down into my eyes making me remember why I had loved him so much.
"Be my girlfriend?" He smiled, staring me directly in the eyes.
"Sure" I said, moving closer to him. He gently kissed me on the mouth and took my hand. We smiled at each other and walked back to the common room together. How was this going to work? Had I just made a huge mistake? I went back to the common room to see my hawk sitting on the window sill with a letter. A letter from dad.

"So uh, now I'm Draco's girlfriend. And the thing is, I'm not even sure I want to be. It was just in the heat of the moment, and now I'm scared I've messed everything up."

Cecelia finished, leaving me in shock. "You're... Draco's girlfriend???"

She nodded. "Like I said, I didn't really think about it!" She groaned, throwing herself onto her bed. "Well, clearly you need to choose. Draco, or Theo. You know who I would pick, but it's up to you. Just make sure you make the right decision."

We ended up making a pros and cons list.

Draco —
Pros
- hot
- kinda nice sometimes
- nice hands
- the boyfriend
Cons
- mostly mean
- hates Harry
- daddy's boy
- overdramatic
- weirdly possessive

Theo -
Pros
- super nice
- hot
- independent
- loving
-caring
Cons
- almost too nice
- not nearly as possessive as desired

"Well clearly we have our answer." I stated, staring at our board. "I don't know... I think Draco's still in the running. And he is my boyfriend."

I sighed. "Theo has way more pros and less cons than Draco, I honestly think Theo is the healthier option."

She sighed. "I know, I just am more attracted to Draco? I think? Honestly I have no clue."
