Jealous - D.M.

Chapter 14

A few weeks passed by, me and Draco hung out almost everyday. What worried me is he also hung out with Mak everyday. I keep waiting for them to breakup but they don't. It feels like almost a chore to keep up a happy facade around Draco and Mak.

I cant help but wonder if the places Draco takes me, he takes Mak there too.

One night Hermione had invited me to study with her in the library, we studied until around 10 when i decided I was done for the day. Hermione yawned and waved me goodbye.

As I was walking back to the common room, I heard Maks familiar giggling. I quickly hid behind the corner. I tried to slow my breathing so they wouldn't hear me. Peeking around the corner, I saw Draco pressed against Mak. "Mak...Will you go to the Yule Ball with me?"

Tears pricked my eyes as I awaited her answer. "Yes! Of course!" she said while jumping into his arms.

Quietly, I creeped backwards with a hand over my mouth to silence my sobs. While walking backwards I knocked into one of the shelves knocking a vase off of it. I gasped as I heard Dracos loud footsteps coming closer to me. Without caring about how loud my footsteps are I began to run as quickly as my legs could take me.

I ran until my legs were burning and my eyes could no longer produce tears. I let out a loud sob before observing my surroundings. Of course I had to come to the astronomy tower where me and Draco had our first date. I collapsed against the wall, holding my knees tightly to my chest.

I should've known he'd choose Mak. Just like that all of my insecurities that had slowly gone away when i was with draco, came crashing in. Mak has always been prettier than me. She's right to hate me, I mean i hate me right now. Does Draco hate me? My breathing began to pick up.

I felt someone's presence so i looked up to see who it was. In that moment it could've been anyone else, even Voldemort, and i wouldn't have cared, but it had to be Draco. Every single thing in my mind seems to always be about him these days. "W-what?" I said with a quivering voice.

"Look Aria. I get it you're upset, but she is my girlfriend it's only right I ask her to the ball."

"You promised you were going to break up with her."

"I was going to I really was, but i'm just not ready to lose either of you. If i choose her then I lose you, if i choose you i lose her."

I stood up and wiped my tears away. "I bet that must suck doesn't it? But you know what sucks worse than that? Hanging out with you everyday wondering if Mak had just been with you. Wanting to be the kind of girl that you want. Trying so hard to keep it together when all I want to do is cry. Wondering if i'll ever be good enough for you to choose me. For anyone to choose me. And not because they couldn't get who they really wanted, but because i'm their first choice." As i talked my voice slowly turned into a yell.

"Aria I-"

I cut him off, "Look Dr-Malfoy. Make your decision because i'm done with being one of your little toys."

I turned on my heels, ignoring his calls.
