Someone Like You
Chapter one
Yes! It's finally out. For all of those people who want to kill me for not updating. Think again.
I am so sorry that I haven't updated in forever. I was sick for a while and I couldn't find the time to type. But it's out know so enjoy!
Dear Haylee,
Can you believe its July all ready? It's crazy.
Anyway, the point of this letter is my parents are taking their 'friends' out this weekend, and I have the whole house to myself. I was wondering if you would like to spend the weekend with me.
Think of it as my birthday present for you. Well, it kind of is.
So if you could reply by Wednesday that would be awesome. Hopefully you can make it.
Love,
Derrick
I received that letter last week. How could I say no? I hadn't but Harry gave me a hard time. He didn't think I was mature enough to spend a weekend alone with 'Derrick' by myself. I changed his mind really quick. Harry thinks that Derrick is going to be a sixth year this fall, and is in Ravenclaw, (Hey, it could happen.) and I was planning on keeping it that way.
While I was packing a small, duffel bag full of some clothes, Harry kept bugging the shit out of me by asking retarded questions. Over and over and over and over and over and over and over, I think you get the point.
"Are you sure you want to go? It could be dangerous with Voldemort back and all." He asked.
"Yes, I'll be fine;" I answered finishing up." I'm going to be as far away from Voldemort as possible." That was a total lie.
"Just call me in case something goes wrong. OK." He added.
"Fine, but nothings going to go down so stop worrying," I sighed glancing at my phone." He should be here soon."
Grabbing the bag and phone, I walked out of my room and went down to the family room, only to be welcomed by an ugly sight. And when I mean ugly I mean ugly.
You see, right now in England we are having a warm streak this summer, and this is like the fifth day in a row that the temperature had gotten up to ninety. That being said, when Harry and I came down the stairs, I was about to see my lunch again.
Dudley, Piers, Malcolm, Dennis, and Gordon had come back from wrestling practice. Yes, they wrestled. It was not a pretty sight. Anyway, they gross part of this situation was the fact that they all had their shirts off. Boys like that shouldn't have their shirts off, only incredibly fit and muscular boys should be eligible for that position. Kind of like someone I know. They were all doing this lounging in font of the TV, too. Incase you wanted to know, and by the looks of it, I think they were watching UFC.
That's great
"Oh my god put a fucking shirt on." I exclaimed once I was in the room.
They flinched as if scared and averted their glances from the television.
Yeah they're so tough
Piers, with his rat-like face, had a devilish grin on it that I wanted to punch off. Ever since I was thirteen, he has always been obsessed with me. He was like a creeper, and it scared the shit outta me.
"You better get that smile off your face before I do it for you." I sneered.
"Are you offering?" He asked.
That's it
As I lunched for him, Harry gripped onto my shoulder and held me tight so I wouldn't budge.
"Forget about him, Haylee," He said." You'll be out of here soon, and you won't have to deal with him for three days."
"You're right," I sighed looking into those disgusting, brown eyes of Polkiss." I'll kick his ass on Sunday when I get back."
"And where would you be going, baby?" Polkiss asked.
"Don't call me baby!" I shouted." And why the hell would I tell you?"
"You know you love me." He blew me a kiss.
EW! Where is Draco so I can get outta here?
I walked over to the window and sat on the sill. I could easily see the heat rising from the blacktop. I really hope he has a pool. That would be fantastic.
A flash of blue came in front of me and a blue Ferrari California pulled up into the drive, (Yeah, I know my cars.) The corners of my mouth curved into a smile. I was finally leaving.
Thank the Lord
"I'll see you on Sunday." I smiled getting my bag and opening the door.
"Wait, you're leaving now?" Piers jumped up.
"Yeah," I rolled my eyes." Come on Harry, I want you to meet him." I took his hand and pulled him outside. It was like an oven out there.
The sun beat down on us making my surroundings unnecessarily bright, kudos to the person who invented sunglasses.
"Whoa." Dudley and the others gasped in amazement when looking at the car in awe.
"That's what I said too." Derrick laughed stepping out of his car.
"Where did you get it?" Malcolm asked wide-eyed. He shrugged.
"You'd have to ask my parents," Turning towards me, he snaked his arms around my waist, holding me tight." Happy birthday."
"Thank you," I answered kissing him quickly then pulling him over to the guys." Harry, this is Derrick. Derrick, this is my brother, Harry." They shook hands.
Oh my God! This was a total Kodiak moment. I wish I had my camera
"We should get going; it's going to be a two hour ride from here." He said.
"OK, see you on Sunday." I said giving Harry a hug.
With one more wave, we sped out of the driveway, on our way towards the manor.
"You have no idea how happy I am to be getting out of there." I sighed watching the scenery go by.
A small smile formed on his face.
"You have no idea what you're getting yourself into."
"You know me," I laughed. "I love surprises."
He laughed." Well, we have a two hour drive, and then the real fun starts."
"Sweet."
Two not so long hours later we arrived at an entire neighborhood of houses that looked like they would be on Cribs or something. They were beautiful.
"Wow." I muttered in amazement.
"This is nothing compared to my house," Draco said." Looks like the new neighbors have moved in."
Looking through the window, I could see the large moving van. However, there was something odd about that picture.
While the moving men where taking the families belongings inside the house, there were four kids, just about our age, sitting on the front step. Two girls and two boys. But the part I found strange was the fact that the two boys had red hair, fiery red hair. The only people I knew who had hair like that were the Weasley's. And that couldn't be them. Could it?
"Draco, is it just me, or do those boys look like Fred and George?" I asked.
"What would they be doing here?" He asked pondering at the thought.
"I could just be imagining this." I answered.
"Then there's only one way to find out." He declared.
"What's that?" I asked.
Honking the horn rather loudly, we waved at them.
The shorter of the girls gave us one of those weird nods. You know the one that means hey. The other one was waving back frantically. It was a bit frightening.
"I bet that's the Roque's."
"Who?"
"The American's my mother told me were moving in." Draco told me.
"American, huh?" I asked." Why would they move here?"
"Cause everyone knows that we're the best." He smirked.
"That's definitely the answer," I laughed." Whoa."
"Welcome to Malfoy Manor."
"This is your house?" I asked in awe aw we pulled into the driveway." It's huge. And- is that an albino peacock?"
"Yeah, my dad had this weird obsession with rare animals."
"Your father is one weird dude." I laughed.
"Yes he is," Draco agreed." Come on, let me show you around."
What could I say about Malfoy Manor other than the fact that it was incredible! It was just a large on the inside than the outside. Each room was decorated to perfection.
"What's in there?" I asked pointing to a cracked open door.
"That's my dad's office. Whichever you want to prefer," Draco answered." It's where he does all his 'business."
"Think he'd be pissed if we went in?" I asked.
"He'll never know. I just wouldn't touch anything." He said.
"You won't have to worry about that." I said opening the door.
It was big. Just like everything else. There was a mahogany desk on the adjacent wall facing a window that overlooked the back yard.
"What's that?" I asked walking behind the desk." Is that a samurai sword? Why does your dad have a samurai sword? Draco?"
Draco stood frozen behind me. With a look of horror on his face.
"Draco, are you OK?"
"Huh? Oh, um. My father went to Japan awhile ago and got one. I don't know why." I could tell that was a huge lie.
"OK." I went along with it.
"Let's get outta here, there's still one more room you didn't see yet." Draco exclaimed.
"And what would room would that be?" I raised an eyebrow.
"The best one in the entire house." He smirked.
Great
Draco opened the door of me and I stepped inside. I stopped dead in my tracks. My mouth ajar.
"And you give me crap for liking muggle things?" I asked." Oh my god."
Where to begin? Where to begin? Let's see there was a plasma flat on the wall, a stereo in the corner, laptop on the bed, a PS3 connected to the plasma. Need I go on?
"This makes Dudley's room look tame." I laughed sitting on his bed that had a black and white fuzzy pillow on top of another pillow.
"Max, have you really been sleeping all day?" Draco asked picking up the not so fuzzy pillow. It was in fact a puppy." I swear you are the laziest dog ever." Max was a one month old Siberian husky. He was so cute!
"Who are those guys?" I asked looking at the picture on the table.
"That's Brayden Collins, Levi Richards, Conner Bernard, and you know me and Blaise. They're our best friends." He answered.
"They seem pretty cool, are they like us?"
"Yeah, but they go to Salem in the States."
"That's cool," I added." Oooh, what's this?"
The infamous acoustic guitar that just so happened to be blue. Quite interesting.
"Is there a reason its blue?" I asked." Other than it's your favorite color?"
"Not really."
"Then I think you should play." I told him.
"All right," He said taking it from my hand." What do you want to hear?"
I shrugged." Surprise me."
"That I can do."
I smiled.
There's a new wind blowing like I've never known
I'm breathing deeper than I've ever done
And it sure feels good to finally feel the way I do
I wanna love somebody, love somebody like you.
And I'm letting go of all my lonely yesterdays
I've forgiven myself for the mistakes I've made
Now theres just one thing, the only thing I wanna do
I wanna love somebody, love somebody like you
Yeah I wanna feel the sunshine shining down on me and you
When you put your arms around me
You let me know theres nothing in this world I can't do
I used to run in circles going no where fast
I'd take one step forward end up two steps back
I couldn't walk a straight line even if I wanted to
I wanna love somebody, love somebody like you
Whoa here we go now
Yeah, Hey I wanna love you baby
Yeah I wanna feel the sunshine shining down on me and you
When you put your arms around me
Well baby there ain't nothing in this world I can't do
Sometimes it's hard for me to understand
But you're teaching me to be a better man
I don't want to take this life for granted like I used to do
I wanna love somebody, love somebody like you
I'm ready to love somebody, love somebody like you
And I wanna love somebody, love somebody like you (yeah)
Hey I wanna love you baby
"You really are good." I admitted.
"Thanks," He smiled." You pick a lot of stuff up when your parents are never around."
"Too true."
"So, what do you want to do?" Draco asked.
"I don't care, it's your house."
"No, I insist."
"Since you put it that way, I think we should go swimming. It is terribly hot today." I answered.
"I like that Idea, let's go."
Finally, something nice and cool, on this scorching hot day. The water felt nice and refreshing against my skin.
"Doesn't it get lonely being here by yourself sometimes?" I asked while I floated around.
"Sometimes, but then the guys come over every now and then." Came the reply.
"You guys are close, huh?"
"Yeah, we would hang out all the time, get into trouble, and they were there for me when something horrible happened a long time ago."
"That's nice of them, what happened?" I asked.
"Nothing, don't worry about it." He answered.
"Sorry."
"It's nothing, you didn't know. It was just a really bad time." Draco sighed.
I swam over to him and looked in his eyes.
"You don't have to tell me, but you know you can trust me."
"I know, it's just that, its kind of a sore spot."
"I can understand that," My eyes widened in fascination." Since when do you have a tattoo?"
"I wouldn't really call it a tattoo because I don't remember getting it."
"Were you drunk off your ass and decided to do something stupid?"
"No," He chuckled." I think it as more of a birthmark, actually. That's what my mom says anyway."
"I think its cool looking. You should totally show it off at school. Everyone would think you are all big and bad."
"Don't most people think that anyway?" He asked.
"Good point." One could get used to being out here.
The both of us gazed up at the manor wondering what to do, when I saw an outline of someone on the balcony.
"Who's that?" I asked a bit terrified. What if it was a death eater?
"Who's who?" Draco asked.
"That person, who was standing up there." I pointed.
"Haylee, no one's here. I promise," He said." Maybe the chlorine has gone to your head."
"Funny." I replied. I swear someone was watching us. I am not a crazy person with schizophrenia.
A little while later, just before we were about to turn into prunes, we went up to the game room. The game room, well, lets just say it was sweet.
There was another plasma hanging on the wall. An incredibly comfy couch, that was huge. A pool table, dart board. Am I missing anything? Oh, yeah, an XBOX 360, PS3, (yes, another one.) PS2, Wii, Sega Genesis, Atari, and Game Cube, connected to the TV. What is with this boy and video games?(AN: My brother's best friend has every game consule ever made. So I was like hmmm? Draco could be like my brothers friend. They even look simliar. Minus the blonde hair. It's scary.)
"Were you even alive when Atari was out?" I asked.
"No, it's my uncles." Draco answered.
"Do you have Left 4 Dead?" I asked.(AN: Left 4 Dead is the best XBOX 360 game ever!)
"Yeah."
"Good, cause we're playing, and I am going to kick your ass." I said.
"I highly doubt that since I am the best at that game." He declared.
"Until today."
The Hangover was one of the funniest movies I had ever seen. OK, maybe that was a lie since we technically didn't watch the movie, but the parts I caught a glimpse of were hilarious. Oh, and I kicked Draco's ass in Left 4 Dead, incase you were wondering.
"What should we do now?" I asked.
"I think we should watch another movie." Draco said.
"Are we actually going to watch the movie?" I asked.
"If you want," He laughed." But I get to pick the movie."
"Fine." I replied.
Note to self, never let Draco pick a movie.
Especially if it's eleven o' clock at night and a horror movie. Now I love horror movies, don't get me wrong. It's the best movie genre in the world. Right next to thriller. But this movie, I could live without. It was called Dead Silence, and it was scaring the shit outta me. At least I had Max to keep me safe.(AN: Dead Silence is a great movie. I highly recommend it.)
Beware the stare of Marry Shaw,
She had no children, only dolls.
And if you see her in your dreams,
Be sure you never, ever scream.
Or she'll rip your tongue out by the seam.
I screamed. Loud. That was the best, scariest, twisted, ending of a horror movie ever.
"Never again." I breathed.
"It wasn't that scary."
"Easy for you to say. I hate ventriloquist dummies with a passion. Except for Jeff Dunham, Peanut is so cute." It wasn't long after one in the morning when I actually fell asleep.(AN: Love him!!!!)
I woke up the next morning to see little blue eyes staring up at me.
"Hey, Max." He barked.
I tried to get up off the couch but failed.
"Think you could wake him up for me?" I asked the pup.
Max jumped up and began licking at Draco's face, but it didn't wake him. I tried to get up again, but his grip got tighter with every attempt I tried.
"I know you're awake," I told him." There's no sense in denying it."
"Good morning to you too. What time is it?" He yawned.
"Almost ten." I answered.
"All right," He said stretching." What do you want for breakfast?"
God I love his muscles. Puts every guys I know to shame
"Are you serious?" I asked.
"What?"
"You can cook, too?"
"Yeah, so?"
"Is there anything you can't do?"
"Yeah, let's see, I can't juggle, and I can't whistle." He answered.
"Oh, well- wait you can't whistle?" I asked.
He shook his head.
"Seriously?" I laughed.
"I know. Lets eat, I'm hungry."
"So you guys egged this guy's house?" I asked while we ate in the kitchen.
"Yeah, it was this really old guy who lived next to Conner. We also pulled the burning dog shit trick on him, too." I laughed.
"Not bad," I said." But I think my cousin beat you."
"Why's that?"
"Because he actually went down town for getting caught." I answered.
"How does that make him better?" He asked." We're better because we didn't get caught."
"I don't know my uncle was pissed." I told him.
"Yeah, OK."
I let out a long sigh. I didn't want to go back to Number 4, it was too boring there.
"What's wrong?" Draco asked.
"I don't want to go back. Polkiss is there."
"I could always-"
"No," I cut him off." You're not going to jail for beating up some stupid boy."
"That would be bad. What do you think should we head out?" He asked.
"Yeah, might as well."
"Lamborghini, nice," I smiled as we got into the leather seat." Wait, is that a motorcycle?"
"Yeah, each one of use has one."
"You have everything," I said." Do you have a rocket ship under your house to send you off to Mars or something, too?!(AN: Anyone that can tell me where I got that from and I will update faster!)
"No, but that's really creative." We both laughed at the thought.
-
"And here we are." Draco said pulling into the drive two hours later.
"Thanks for everything. I had the best summer ever." I kissed him.
"Not at all. I'll see you on September first then?" He asked.
"Yeah, see you." I said kissing him once more before getting out if the car.
With a wave he was off, and I was back in hell. Lovely.
Ok, everything in this chapter is important. EVERYTHING!! Even if it is random which I know some of it is. As for the new neighbors, my friends wanted to be in the story and they love the twins so that is what that was. I also put up more pictures so check those out.
