The next day
I was in the library with Amelia. When my phone buzzed.

Message from Lucas:
Liliana we need to talk. I have an apology to make, please meet me in my dorm when you can. I love you baby.

I froze.
"Who is it?" Asked Amelia.
"No one." I said quickly.

"Is it Lucas? Cause if it is don't believe anything he says." Said Amelia.

Shit, I had to think quickly.
"It's Draco." I said.
"What does he want?" Asked Amelia.
"He um, wants me to meet him in his dorm."

"Well then go!" Said Amelia.
"But we're studying." I said.
"Who cares? I wanna see what he's gonna say."
Said Amelia.

"Come on, go, go!" Said Amelia pushing me.
"God okay." I said grabbing my stuff.

Amelia was starting to become a Draco fan.
It was weird. But I'm not actually going to Draco's dorm, I'm going to Lucas's.

I am nervous, because it's been a while.
But it's Lucas. I trust him.

I knocked on his dorm, and felt my throat dry. My hands trembled, and my chest felt tight.

God I shouldn't be getting anxious to see him.
He's my safe place, I should feel safe.

He opened the door, and his tense face relaxed.
"Thank god Lily, come in." He said.
Lucas grabbed my hand, and led me in.

I sat on his bed, and he handed me a mug.
"I made you hot chocolate." He said.
"Thanks." I said.

"I'm really sorry darling. I didn't realize how much I missed you until I saw you with Draco.

Kissing Marissa felt dull. I don't feel fireworks the way I do with you. And to be honest, this month without you has been boring.

I miss shagging you, kissing you, your body.
I miss feeling you Lily.

I'm sorry if I hurt you by being with Marissa.
Lily I love you." He said.

I didn't know what to feel, how to react.

"Lucas, you-"

"Before you say anything. I'm not asking you to be my girlfriend again. I know you're angry at me, I don't wanna put any pressure on you.
But I wanna be your friend." He said.

Well, it's not like we got in an argument where I hated him. There's no harm in being friends.

"Okay, friends." I said.

He wrapped his arms around me, and I rested on his shoulder. This hug felt amazing. Finally touching Lucas again put me at ease.

"Can I ask you something?" I said.
"What?" He said back.
"Were you gonna hit Amelia yesterday?"

"Absolutely not. I just wanted to intimidate her.
But Draco got all defensive, and punched me.
I mean look at my face." He said.

I grabbed his cheek, and traced his cuts.
"I'm sorry about Draco." I said.

"Don't worry about it. And I'm not mad you were with him, you had no one else. But now that you have me again, there's no need to talk to Draco." He said.

"We might talk Lucas, he's in all my classes."
"Small talk fine. But no dancing, hugging kissing, and don't ever be alone with him." He said.

"Don't worry. I definitely won't be doing any of that again." I said.

(Draco's Pov)
I went to the library, and saw Amelia sitting alone. I haven't spoken to Lily since yesterday.

I want to talk Amelia to see what was going on with Lily. Me and Amelia are chill I guess.
