A Losing Game

9. Distant 😐

(Aurelia's Pov)
Enzo stared at me, I could tell he was uncomfortable.

"It doesn't matter Aurelia. I already know nothings gonna happen between us. Not after what my friends put you through."

"Yeah."

"But if they weren't my friends, and you only knew me, would you give me a chance?"

I felt so bad, because Enzo's such a sweet guy.
But I can't date him, I can't date anyone.

"Enzo I don't want a boyfriend."

"I get that." He said.
"What did the guys say? You're avoiding it."

"It was mostly Draco, but Mattheo always takes his side. Draco said I couldn't handle you."

"I'm not sure how to respond to that." I said.

"They said I'm too sensitive, and that you would hurt me. And that made me mad because first of all who are they to tell me who I can and can't date?

Second of all, Theo's the soft one of the group. Theo himself knows that which is why he was silent the whole time.

Then Mattheo told me to leave but I said I wanted to talk about it. But of course they said I was talking like a "girl" because I was talking about my feelings.

I was pissed."

"Yeah cause the worst thing in the world is being compared to a girl right?" I said.

"Not at all. God did you ignore everything I said and pick on the one thing that made this about you?" Said Enzo.

"I'm sorry. So why are you mad?" I asked.

"All I wanted was a conversation, they made it a joke." He said.

"Wow, that's a lot to take in." I said.

"You don't have to say anything, but that's why I don't wanna dorm with Draco."

"Listen I really don't wanna make this about me, but the fact that they think I'm too much because I stand up for myself is absurd. If they weren't jerks I wouldn't have to react the way I did. And don't listen to them. As we know they say things they don't mean it."

"So are you on their side or mine?" He asked.

"Enzo I think they're terrible humans, but not to you. They're you're best friends. What they said was fucked, but that's no reason for you not to share a dorm with Draco. Right now you're angry, and that anger is what's causing you to make that impulsive decision.

Once you're anger stops I'm sure you'll wanna share with Draco again."

"No maybe I need a break. I wanna distance myself from them." Said Enzo.

"To be honest I think you should cut them off completely, but for a whole different reason.
You're a good guy, and they're terrible.

But I'm gonna put my hate for them aside, and give you genuine advice, because I like you.

You don't wanna distance yourself I promise. That's gonna cause unnecessary drama.

I know the power of anger. You don't actually feel the way you feel. Yes you're mad, but not to the point where you should stop talking to all your friends. Sleep on it, and you'll change your mind tomorrow." I said.

"Aurelia I'm telling you how I feel, and you're telling me I don't actually feel that way. No one ever fucking listens to me."

"Enzo I didn't mean it that way."

"I'm going to Dumbledores office whether you come with me or not."

Shit I worded everything wrong.

(Lorenzo's Pov)
I thought Aurelia of all people would be on my side. They did the same shit to her but worse.
