A Losing Game

"What are you doing here?" Asked Daph.

"I need to talk to you before Aurelia does. Astoria I know you forgive easily, Daph I know you don't.

I'm not forcing you to forgive Aurelia, but take it easy on her." I said.

"Why should I? She was being such an ass to my sister." Said Daph.

"You have no idea what shes been through.
I have no idea how she's even functioning on a day to day basis. Please."

"I'll see." Said Daph.
"Thanks." I said kissing her forehead.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Draco and Aurelia walked in.

"Astoria I'm sorry. I don't have any excuse other then I was drunk. I'm not saying you have to forgive me, what I did was fucked. I was angry at Draco, and I took it out on you." Said Aurelia.

"You called me a slut, and said Draco didn't care about me. Draco does care about me, just not the way I thought.

I don't like being yelled at, and this older girl I don't even know screamed at me. It was scary.
But I'm gonna forgive you because you were drunk, which means you weren't thinking.

And I had to find out eventually." Said Astoria.

"I didn't mean to scare you. I'm a jerk, and I get that. But you know when I asked Draco about you he spoke really highly. You're one of his closest friends he's told me." She said.

(Aurelia's Pov)
She's so innocent, I hate that I made her cry.

"Daphne I'm sorry for what I did to you too.
You wanted to defend your sister, and I almost punched you. Draco I'm sorry you received that punch." I said.

"I'm glad you're sorry," Said Daphne.

I had a feeling she wouldn't forgive me, and that's okay.

"There's also something else I wanna say." I said.

Enzo and Draco looked at me.
"I'm gonna tell Astoria about Johnny." I said.

"Aurelia you don't have to." Said Enzo.

"I understand that Astoria may not always be careful around men, especially older men. I feel like I have to do this if that means it'll stop her from making a mistake. I'd hate for her to go through what I did."

I thought about this all night. Johnny isn't something I ever felt comfortable talking about.

But I feel like it's my job to help other girls, and stop it from happening to them.

"Are you absolutely sure?" Asked Draco.
"Yeah."

Draco then walked over to me, and brought his mouth to my ear.

"Easy with the details. Astoria won't be able to handle it." Whispered Draco.

I nodded.

"There was a guy, his name was Johnny. I met him when I was ten, he was twenty. He was my parents accountant.

He lived with us, and I saw him like an older brother.
