"What do you want from me Al? I'm done trying to figure this out!"
"I want you to tell me you love me! I want you to be there! But no, you're always off with Ashlyn fucking Nott and leaving me alone!"
"We agreed to keep this a secret!"
"You were the one who wanted to keep it a secret! And I never told you to get a girlfriend so that way you could cheat on me with her!"
"This was the only way that no one would question me!"
"Yeah because you're ashamed to have me."
"Of course I'm not!" Scorpius said, scandalized.
"Yeah well it sure as hell seems that way. You know what? Call me when you figure out you're fucking life because I'm done." I sneered.
"Al, come on, don't be like this!" I glared at him, my jade eyes filled with hurt and disgust, and apparated out of our shared flat. I went to my cousin's flat that she shared with her boyfriend, Lorcan Scamander.
I knocked on the door.
"Al? What do you want? It's like three in the morning-oh." She cut herself off, probably seeing my red-rimmed eyes and the stony look on my face.
"It's alright Rosie, you can go back to bed, but do you mind if I stay here tonight?"
"Nah, it's all right. I was up anyways. Lorcan is asleep; he had a lot of work to do, so as soon as he ate, he conked out. How about I make you some tea?"Rose asked sympathetically. I smiled at her half-heartedly.
Rose was my best friend. Even though she was Scorpius's best friend too, she always made it a point to take my side of an argument unless I was clearly in the wrong. Family sticks together after all. Not to mention, she knew how much my fights with Scorpius affected me, so she always tried to help me talk it out.
She let me into the flat and we walked into the kitchen where she started boiling the water. As the water boiled, she looked at me curiously. She could probably tell this wasn't one of our ordinary fights.
So at her request, I told her the story. He didn't say anything throughout the entire thing and finished making the tea. She passed me my cup wordlessly and I nodded at her in thanks. She cleared her throat.
"Al, this is killing you. And it's killing me just to see you getting killed by him…do you think maybe it's time to call it quits?" I couldn't bring myself to be mad, mostly because it was a question that I had been asking myself a lot lately.
"Rosie…I love him."
"But is that enough for you?" she asked, fixing her serious blue eyes on me. "This relationship is like a poison. This is the third time you've been here in one month. Of course I don't mind having you here, but I do mind the fact that you're crying and upset and well… broken. You promised you would never let anyone break you, no matter who it was. Sometimes you have to just cut your losses and move on, Al."
I couldn't exactly argue with that.
"I don't know who I am without him. We've been together for 4 years and I can't just throw it away!"
"Then what are you going to do? Keep going for another 2 years when it's killing you both and then break up in a huge dramatic manner?"
"…I don't know."
Rose sighed and looked down at her tea.
"This isn't my decision to make Al. But I'm worried about you."
"I would be surprised if you weren't." She smiled at me.
"Come on you great lump, go to the guest bedroom. There are some pajamas already in there. You have work tomorrow, so you'd better get some rest."
"Alright mother," I said, grinning for what seemed liked the first time in years.
"Don't test me at three in the morning, Al. You will regret it." She said seriously, but her eyes twinkled with amusement. I think she was relieved that I had cracked a smile.
"Yes ma'am!" She pulled me out of the chair and gave me a little shove towards the room.
"Go!" I gave her my two-fingered salute. I marched back to the room, where I was surrounded by my thoughts yet again. The smile slid off of my face as my mind went back to another one of our fights.
"You got a girlfriend? No not only a girlfriend, you got a Nott to be your girlfriend? How stupid are you?"
"Al, this is for us! It's so that way no one finds out about us! I did this for you!"
"I've told you on many occasions that I don't give a flying fuck who finds out about us! Clearly she's for you."
"Al, I just don't know what my parents will do and I don't want to risk them trying to break us up!"
"Well maybe they won't have to break us up."
"What are you saying?"
"You're smart," I sneered, walking out the door. "Figure it out."
Why do I even love him?
Oh right.
A bludger hit me and the entire world went dark. I woke up in the hospital wing to a familiar face hovering over me.
"Al! Are you okay? Do you want some water? How does your eye feel? Does it hurt?" he asked worriedly.
"Scor…you act like a worried mother sometimes," I grumbled.
"Only because I love you," he said, grinning and placing a peck on my lips. My frown softened slightly.
"I love you too Scor."
"Well I am pretty amazing!" he laughed, hugging me. His eyes shone with relief, but I pretended not to see. How could I be so important to someone?
I hate loving him. Rose was right, this was poisoning me. I heard a tap on my window. I opened it, and Scorpius flew in on his broom. I jumped back in surprise; he usually waited for me to go home the next day before saying what he needed to. His eyes were red and his face was stained with tears. His normally perfect hair was unkempt, and his normally immaculate outfit was wrinkled and ripped. He didn't seem to care though. He jumped off of his broom and gave me a huge hug.
"I love you Al and I am so sorry."
I thought back to what Rose said. Was it enough?
"I love you too Scor," I said and returned his hug.
Yes he was a poison, but maybe he was also the antidote.
I smiled at him as he joined me in the bed and we quickly fell asleep.
3 weeks later, I appeared on Rose's doorstep yet again. I tried not to show her the bags underneath my eyes.
"Al? What are you doing here? I thought you and Scorpius made up?" I steeled my nerves and said,
"Scorpius is engaged."
"What? Congratulations! Where is he?" Rose exclaimed, not catching what I meant.
"He isn't engaged to me." Her blue eyes widened.
"No! Is it-" I cut her off.
"Ashlyn Nott."
