Bet | Draco Malfoy Fanfic🍏 [Completed]

Distant

Krystal's POV

After like 3 hours of calling my mom, I went looking for Draco since Luna told me that he wanted to see me.

I kept on looking for him until I saw him walk lifelessly. I called him. No reaction. He just approached me. "Why do you look like that?" I worried. He looked like he had something bad in mind. He looked as if he were sick. But I knew this wasn't the case.

He didn't reply. "Uhm...I looked for you because Luna told me you were looking for me", I said, trying to change the subject. "Yeah. But I'm content now and I really have to do something right now so I'll see you later", he said before rushing away.

Hm, weird

TIME SKIP

It's been weeks, school started but Draco kept on disappearing. I was suspicious. He kept on saying he had things to do and that he was busy.

He's not cheating is he?

What I've also noticed since that day was that he tries to avoid eye contact with me at all times. It was bothering me. And he rarely replies to my 'I Love You's anymore. It was slowly breaking me in the inside....

My friends kept telling me to confront it to him and after thinking for a while I decided to do so.

As always, Draco is rushing through the hallways because he got stuff to do, but I stopped him with my hand.

"We need to talk, Draco", I said sternly. He declined for a few times until he gave in. We both entered the room. I was undeniably hurt that he'd become so....distant.

I felt ignored. I felt ignored of my love and worry that I showed him. It wasn't a pleasant feeling. It's almost as if he didn't acknowledge my presence.

"Why are you rushing everywhere thi past week? Why have you not acknowledged me? Why are distant? Do you not love me anymore?" I asked.

He widened his eyes. "N-no its not that I swear! I just have some mandatory stuff to do thats been assigned to me by my...mother. And I can't let her down. I'm sorry, Krystal. I really am", he said with pleading eyes, waiting for me to forgive him.

Although he apologized, I knew he was going to keep doing it. I had a gut feeling he was lying a little bit about his excuse.

"Ok, whatever", I said. He didn't look me in the eyes and just walked away. I was on the verge of crying and have a mental breakdown. Instead, I just stayed silent in that abandoned classroom, sitting down on the floor.

I was just roaming around my mind, thinking about what I did wrong. Did I do something wrong which resulted this?

My mind kept going in circles, paying attention to each detail ever since we started to date. I was confused. I couldn't really pinpoint anything. Maybe something was wrong but I just didn't know. My mind was extra busy with all these thoughts to the point of getting a headache.

I sighed angrily before getting up and storming to class. I was in no good mood. Just have to get over with today.

Draco's POV.

I've been so occupied with Bellatrix and my dad's wants this past week. It was stressful, secretly going to Borgin and Burkes and then trying to fix these vanishing cabinets. It was stressful because of the guilt and the ongoing threats by Bellatrix. And actually doing the job.

The guilt has been eating me alive. I could barely make eye contact with her and Dumbledore. It was irritating to say the least.

TIME SKIP

As I continued to rush the hallways, I was stopped by none other than Krystal. She said she wanted to talk and I ended up doing so although I said no a few times.

We entered a vacant classroom before she started talking.

Her expression was sad, and worried.

"Why are you rushing everywhere thi past week? Why have you not acknowledged me? Why are distant? Do you not love me anymore?" she asked, pained. Her eyes said it all.

I widened my eyes. It's not that I haven't noticed but I thought it wasn't that bad and that she'd get over it. Damn was I wrong.

I felt the worst I could. She didn't deserve this. It saddened me looking at her at this state. She looked depressed and hurt. And not happy, which was what I was supposed to do. But I knew I've been failing. But I got not choice. I can't tell her about the agreement. But it hurt me just as much looking at her like that. But i'm doing it for the sake of he life, so i have to sacrifice a few weeks worth of sadness and loneliness.

I quickly answered, halfway lying. I knew she still felt sad and disappointed, even more maybe, but I let it be and quickly continue on attempting to fix those vanishing cabinets. The faster I fix them, the faster I get this over with.

A/N : Short & boring chapter. Just to update on how Draco have been acting and how they've been feeling on the situation.
