Well hello friends
How was your vacations? I just had the best holidays in my entire life, thank you very much. Made some amazing friends and I'll do a quick shout out to them, one of them is suppose to read this... some day.
Okay, I'll talk more to myself after the chapter since I believe no one reads those things.
Chapter 20th
I don’t want to eat, I don’t want to speak and I don’t want to move. I know I’m being stupid and overreacting but I’m sad and have lots of hormones, I’m 16 for god’s sake! I’m not like mum who, even after my dad left her and uncle harry, continued looking for the keys to destroy the words darkest wizard, I’m Rose and I can moan as much as I want.
I was hiding in the Shack since my roommates kept bugging me in my room. If any of my cousins come here to bug me too I’ll simply hex them. My eyes were matching the color of my hair and my cheeks were flushed. The rest of my face was pale and my lack of appetite was making me thinner.
It has been 5 days since I stomped on my own heart. I attended my classes with a blank face, never saying anything. I didn’t talk to anyone or made any eye contact. The classes were the only place I went to other then my get-away. Other students still stared at me but I didn’t give them a second thought. When I was alone I cried and when I was in public I looked like a zombie.
I was currently hugging my legs against my chest sitting on the wooden floor of the Shack, just staring at the space. I heard footsteps and looked at the tunnel entrance. Albus stood there holding a bag in his hand.
“Hey” He said but I didn’t said nothing in return. “I thought I would find you here” He came to sit besides me. “I thought you would be crying, Nik said you’ve been crying yourself to sleep every night.”
“I have no tears left.” I said in a week voice.
“Do you mind if I stay here?” I shook my head and he came closer, our sides were now touching. I felt safe for the first time in those 5 years, I felt like there was a ground where I could stand, I leaned my head on his shoulder and he leaned on my head. No words needed to be said; he knew I needed him and only him. I closed my eyes and dozed off.
********************************************************
When I woke up the sun was setting, or was it dawn? Albus was still there, looking peaceful in his sleep. When I moved he rouse.
“Morning” I said
He looked at the window checking if we actually had spent the whole night in the Shack. “Morning” He said finally and flashed a grin.
“What?”
“You are talking”
“Friendly reminder that I learned how to talk 3 months before you.”
“And you don’t look like a zombie” He ignored my comment.
“You really know how to flatter a girl”
“You know what I mean” He poked my sides and I laugh, he knew my week points. “Plus, we missed dinner.”
“I’m not even hun-“ At this precise moment my stomach manifested reeeeally loudly.
“I beg to differ.” We laughed a bit. “You should laugh more Rosie, your smiles are getting rarer and rarer now a days.” I smiled at him. “And I have something for you” He reached for the bag he brought with him.
“What’s that?”
“You’ll see” he sprawled the bag’s contains on the floor. It was a sea of chips, chocolate, muggle chocolate, crackers and pumpkin juice. Al saw my hungry stare and laughed loudly. “See something you like Rosie?”
“Shut it Potter, pass the food.”
“Let’s put some food in your bones ‘cus”
I went straight for the muggle chocolate. It was my favorite and I didn’t eat it often enough. We ate the whole thing in a matter of minutes, 15 to be precise, and just talked about nothing. Once the food was gone Albus rose to his feet and extended a hand for me. The smile that was on my face fell and I stared at his hand like it was some weird object.
“Come on Rose, you can’t hide in here forever.” He said serious but I didn’t move. “Everyone is worried” Still no response from me “Let’s make a deal, you go out, put on a smile – even if fake – on your face, acts like everything is fine. For the sake of your family and friends.”
“What’s in it for me?”
“Besides the assurance of your friends that everything is fine? Well, they will stop bothering you, the school will stop talking crap about you-“
“I don’t care what they say”
“I do. You are my cousin and they have no idea what they are talking about. I’m sick of hearing a bunch of lies about my best friend.”
“Okay, but I still don’t like lying. You know how I get if I keep pushing my problems away. It all builds up and I explode.”
“This won’t happen because we are having secret meeting every night where you’ll be able to act like that girl in the book about the sparkly vampire”
“I am nothing like that!”
“I know, just wanted to see your reaction. Anyway, at night you can pour all your heart to me and eat chocolate.” I considered his offer “You know, I have more Lindt in my room”
“I’ll do it”
“At a girl”
I am so terribly sorry for making you wait so much for a short crappy chapter but I promise there is something big coming up, and I mean BIG big.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS! IT MADE ME SO SO SO HAPPY! I'M GLAD YOU ARE ENJOYING THE STORY SO FAR!!!!
Talk to me and I'll answer you, I'm lonely and I want to befriend strangers from the internet with good book taste - if you know what I mean ;)
