Moving On

Chapter 5 book 1

Makayla ran down diagon ally. She would have apparated somewhere but she just had no idea where to go. She had no idea what to do. She sat down on a bench with her bag at her feet as tears streamed down her face.
She felt more then just pain, she felt Anger, jealousy, hurt... any emotion that you could possibly think of that had to do with being abandoned by the man you loved more then anything.
The air around her was thick, like she was swimming and she was drowning. She took another moment and stood with her bag, her knees feeling weak.
She apparated to Malfoy Manor, she leaned against the wall and slid down. She wanted someone to find her. But she had no idea what part of the manor she was in.
So she sat there, and let the memories of Fred flow into her mind. When they were looking in the mirror at Draco and Hermione's wedding,
That one was her favorite.
Makayla sighed deeply.
"Are you Alright?" A fairly familiar voice asked. A whimsical voice that was kind a hopeful, oh yes, Luna, that was just the person Makayla needed right now.
"No." Makayla mumbled as she kept her head down so Luna wouldn't see her ruined makeup and tears.
"What's wrong?" Luna asked softly.
"Fred loves someone else." Makayla said in a slight whining tone.
"Are you broken?" Luna asked. Makayla nodded slightly, making her hair fall and frame her face more. She took deep breaths to move the hair away for a moment and let it flutter back down.
"It's ok, you'll be ok. Just go talk to him." Luna said softly as she gently rubbed circles on her back. Makayla shook her head. "Why would I go try when he doesn't like me?" Makayla said as she finally took her head from her knees and looked at Luna.
"What did you see in the mirror? And you read his mind, what did he see?" Luna said, her whimsical voice kind of faded and her mouth adult voice shown through. She had grown up allot, and wasn't so optimistic anymore. It was a little sad.
"I saw me and my creatures of course. And he didn't see anything... he just saw what was already there... and my creatures faded away and all that was left was him..." Makayla's voice kind of turned to a whisper as she neared the end and realized it. Fred...
Luna already seemed to know as she smiled and stood up.
"I'll see you around Makayla, take care." She said, back in her whimsical voice. Makayla smiled, she grabbed her bag and apparated back to the flat. She charmed the room back and said hello to Athena. Then she unpacked everything else, and suddenly she was there again. She sat on her bed and thought for a moment. Then she stood up and got herself some coffee cause it was after dark now. She stood back in the window and watched the people pass by below as the steam from the coffee helped her keep warm on the cold night.
She heard Fred return when the door clicked. "Makayla!" He yelled happily. He ran over to her and now even caring that she was holding smoldering hot coffee he hugged her as though he'd never get to hug her again.
"What!?" Makayla asked as she put the coffee down so he didn't spill any of it and hugged him back.
"Me and Rihanna came back to get something and I went up to your room to say bye and everything was gone and I was worried that you were just a dream and that you weren't real. But I couldn't believe that so I went and looked for you, I went everywhere I could think of. But you were nowhere and I'm so glad you're real and not just a dream." He said in a complete rush as he looked at her in such a loving way, but he was thinking about her, Rihanna. Like he always was. Makayla broke out of the hug and turned away from him.
"Where's Rihanna?" She asked quietly. Her voice was really small, she didn't like it when it went like that but she couldn't help it. She should have stayed gone.
"She went home." Fred said behind her. "If I didn't know any better I'd say you were jealous." Fred whispered. She turned and looked at him and he had that stupid goofy grin.
"In your dreams Weasley." Makayla replied as she smiled slightly. She would leave him alone after this, she just wanted to see him smile one more time.
Fred stepped up to her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
'Now I can finally stop pretending' she heard him think. She looked at him confusedly.
"In my dreams? Well Makayla, you are in my dreams. You're the woman on my dreams in every way, shape, and form. Me and Rihanna have been pretending to love each other so that you'd be jealous. Because in case you have noticed, Makayla I'm in love with you, I'm so insanely in love with you that I have to pretend to think about another girl so I don't embarrass myself around you, I don't wake up early and go see you, I don't sleep at all because you keep me up at night. You're in the mirror of erised. You are my greatest desire and if it wouldn't be weird and I had a ring, I'd f***ing propose you right now." Fred said, his thoughts proved he wasn't lying.
Makayla couldn't breathe.
That's the easiest way to state it.
She couldn't breathe. She just stared up him with a stunned look.
"Please tell me you love me too." Fred whispered desperately. Makayla finally found air, oh wow air tasted really good when you hadn't had it for a long time. Courage, that's what she needed, this was her chance and she couldn't lose it, not again. No more running away.
"I love you too." She whispered to him. He smiled and lifted her off the ground, gently pressing his lips against hers.
