Chapter 12: Eight Letters, Three Words, One Meaning
Draco spins around and meets eyes with me.
“Why?” I repeat.
His eyes bore into mine, making me feel very self-conscious.
“Why what?” He asks.
“Why’d you do it?” I ask him.
“Do what?” He asks.
“Don’t play games with me. Tell me why you did it. Why did you risk your life to save mine? You hate my cousin and you’ve never spoken one coherent sentence to me before today.” I say.
“Because. . .” He drops his gaze and his cheeks blush furiously.
“What?” I ask, staring at him.
He mumbles something incoherent.
“What?” I ask.
“I . . . I love you.” He whispers and he runs out of the door.
It sit there, hating myself for asking him.
* * *
A few hours later, Rhiannon comes to visit me.
She enters my room and I smile.
She’s visibly pregnant now. And it’s only a matter of time.
“How’re you feeling miss?” She asks me.
I shrug. “Ok.”
“That’s beautiful.” She tells me, eyeing up my bracelet.
“Thanks.” I say.
“What’s wrong?” She asks.
“I’m confused.” I tell her honestly.
“Why?” She asks.
“A boy told me he loved me today. I’ve never spoken one coherent sentence to the guy and he’s saved my life and I’ve made his a living hell. And then, he tells me he loves me. Grrrrrr!” I shout, burying my face in the bed sheets.
I look at Rhiannon helplessly.
“Talk to him.” She tells me.
“But what do I say?” I ask.
“Tell him you love him back.” Rhiannon says.
“But that’s the problem. I don’t know if I do love him back.” I tell her desperately.
“Think about it.” Rhiannon says.
“He gave me my bracelet.” I tell her.
“Well he has good taste.” Rhiannon says.
“I know. Moonstones and lapis lazuli.” I sigh dreamily.
A knock on the door brings me back to earth.
Rhiannon looks around and see’s Draco.
She winks at me before getting up to leave.
“Hey.” he says quietly.
“Hey.” I reply.
“Listen about earlier. . .” He starts.
“It’s ok.” I cut across. “I just don’t know how I feel yet. Things have been really weird for me lately. First my mum. Then Rhiannon and Stephen. Then the baby. Then Aunt Lily and Uncle James. And their baby. I barely know who I am
any more, never mind who I love.” I explain.
He nods. “I can wait.”
“But what if that’s not fair? What if you wait and I decide I don’t love you back. What are you going to do then? You’ve lost the one chance you’ve got. You only live once. What will you do if I reject you?” I ask.
“I’ll try and move on and make sure that guy knows how lucky he is.” Draco says.
“This is crazy. I barely even know you. How am I supposed to even consider. . .”
But I never get to finish my sentence because his lips have already met mine.
He pulls back abruptly and rushes towards the door.
“Draco!” I call. “Wait!”
I rush out after him but he’s already out of the castle.
I grit my teeth and my bare feet make contact with the cold ground.
My teeth begin to chatter as I make my way out into the cold air.
Draco turns around and sees me.
He rushes over to me.
“What are you doing?! You’re going to get pneumonia or worse, die!” He shouts.
I grin and he lifts me up and runs back to the castle.
He sets me down back in the hospital and turns to leave.
“Draco!” I call.
“I’ll see you soon.” He tells me and he leaves.
“I love you too.” I whisper once he's gone.
And then, everything makes sense.
