FORBIDDEN FEELINGS

Chapter 24- I hate Muggles

I can't believe the one person I didn't want to see is standing right in front of me. He smiles and says "Hello gorgeous"

"Hey" I say, awkwardly.

"Come and give us a hug then" he opens his arms and I run into them. I missed this actually. His soft hands keep me warm and makes me feel safe. My mom beeps the horn and shouts "Come on, you love birds, get in the car"

We laugh and I get in the front whilst he gets in the back. We spend the 4 hour drive talking about my fake boarding school. I make up the whole thing. It's so hard not to talk about Malfoy, as that's pretty much the only thing on my mind. We drop him home and tell him I'll see him soon. My mom asks me how Hogwarts was. I tell her bits, but I don't mention Malfoy. I can't bring myself to do it.

We drive past our road. "Mom! You've gone past it" I say.

"No. I moved to a new house. I couldn't bare to live with that man anymore. We got a divorce. I live in a two bedroom flat now. I wish I could've told you when you were gone but I didn't want to ruin your time there" she says.

I don't know how to feel. I guess this is a good thing. No more abuse from my dad. I smile at her and we pull up outside a dodgy block of flats.

We get inside and I make myself at home. It's quite small but I'm only here for two weeks so it'll do.

I spend the first week meeting up with my friends who all seem so fake now that I have real ones. I go to Mikey's a few times and he seems pretty off with me for some reason. We haven't even kissed once. Which I am kind of glad about. Hermione and Ron have been sending me letters and they're really cute to read. At Christmas I get a Discman from my mom. This makes me think about Malfoy all day. I wonder what he's doing right now. My nan and grandad come over and we have a Christmas dinner.

On the second week I spend most of my time thinking about Malfoy because none of my friends want to meet but I feel like they're meeting up without me. Why do I keep thinking about Malfoy? I literally have a boyfriend. Should I break up with Mikey? No. I don't have a reason to. Apart from the fact I cheated. Ugh I can't believe I cheated on such a wonderful person.

It's New Years Eve and Mikey is hosting a party to celebrate. I wear a small red dress. We all spend the night dancing and singing to our favourite songs. It feels like the old times again. Mikey looks so good. I get so drunk that I forget all about Malfoy. At 11:59pm we start the countdown, and everyone gets someone to kiss. 5...4...3... I lean in closer to Mikey. 2... Malfoy...1. I dodge the kiss and run out of his house before anyone can speak to me.

At 12pm the next day, I wake up after having a dream that Malfoy kissed me again. Why did I have a dream about him? I sit there, eating my breakfast. Well barely eating. I feel so sick thinking about the fact that I'm a cheater. I have to tell Mikey. I tell my mom I'm going on a walk but really, I'm going to Mikey's.

I approach his house. How am I going to tell him? His mom pulls up on the drive. "Hi Jessa" she says in a friendly tone. She gives me a hug and says "I've been shopping all morning, left Mikey alone, I was meant to be gone all day, but I finished my shop early. The shops were empty, I'm guessing everyone's hungover. How was the party last night?"

"Good. Thank you for letting me come over"

"Why didn't you stay for a sleepover?" she asks.

"I felt a bit sick"

She nods and opens the door. "Go and surprise Mikey" she says. I smile nervously and make my way up the stairs. What am I going to say? What if he hurts me? What if he cries in front of me? Before I open his door, I can hear a grunting sound. I hope he's not masturbating. I open his bedroom door. Wtf. Why is he moving under the covers? AND WHY IS THERE A LACE THONG ON THE FLOOR?

"Mikey?" I question.

His head comes up from under the duvet and Sarah is under him. SARAH, MY BEST FRIEND!!! "What the fuck!" I shout.

"It's not what it looks like" Mikey screams.

"Well it looks like your fucking to me. What else could you be doing? Play fighting? Playing with Lego? Finishing a game of scrabble? You're obviously fucking cheating on me"

"I'm so sorry"

"How long has this been going on for?"

"Ever since you two got together" Sarah answers with guilt on her face.

"Oh, shut up you blonde, ugly, fake, fucking whore of a best friend. You know what, you two make a great couple actually. Yeah. I hope you guys get married and have ugly fucking children that are just as fake as you. I hope you enjoy the rest of you fuck fest and I'll be heading back to Hogwarts, the best school I've ever been to. No fake people there. Bye bitches" I say, storming out the room and slamming the door. I get to the bottom of the stairs and his mom asks, "Leaving already?"

I turn around and say "Yes. Your sons a dick. Also, he's shagging Sarah upstairs. So well done for raising your cheating son right. Now I'm going to enjoy my time at my wonderful boarding school. Bye love, we've had a good few moments together, haven't we, Sandra?"

She looks at me in shock. She also looks worried as she nods and waves. I smile and leave the house, slamming the door behind me.

When I get home my mom tells me she's signed a form and put it in my suitcase which allows me to go on a camping trip in May to see Magical Creatures at night. I can't wait to go back to Hogwarts.
