CHAPTER TWO- Somebody that I use to know
I woke up and it was dark, either I hasn't slept for long or I slept really long. Everyone, out of us kids, except me and Harrison had left. Mr Longbottom was asleep in a chair next to Harrison's bed and my dad a chair next to me. My head hurt like hell and I could hardly remember any of that night. I groaned and rolled onto my side looking at the clock. It was 1 in the morning, wow I had slept the whole day. I sat up holding my head in my hands, trying not to throw up. I must have drank load seen as I still have a hangover. My dad woke up and looked at me.
"How you feeling buddy?" He asked.
"Rubbish." I replied. He sighed.
"I heard what happened." I looked down, I may not have remember most of it but I did remember the fight between Harrison and I over some girl or something like that. "Why'd you do it?" I shrugged, still not making eye contact.
"Alice... Doesn't know right?" I managed to say. I looked up this time, my dad nodded. I punched my pillow annoyed, I lay down and tried to hide the tears falling from my eyes. There was silence, apart from Harrison's snoring which was annoying.
"They all hate me now, don't they?" I said.
"We all make mistakes, I did." He replied.
"Not as many as me." He didn't reply to that, I knew he was agreeing with me. I sighed, Falling asleep again.
I woke up to crying, I looked around to find who it was and I saw Alice sitting on Harrison's bed. She was trying to stop herself from looking at me. I couldn't deal with this anymore, so I got on my converse and stood up, walking out of the room that we where in. I had no idea where I was going, but I just kept on walking. I got out of the hospital and walked down the street probably looking like a weirdo with messed up hair and a cast on his arm. I saw a park ahead of me, so I went there and sat on a bench, looking around at all the sights to see. A man was doing a crazy juggling trick, a woman was calling some of her kids over, they looked about 13 and 15, some teenagers where playing a game of muggle football on a pitch. I had been to busy looking at what was going on around me to notice someone had joined my company.
"I know how it feels for everyone to hate you, you know."
"Bet your glad aren't you. "
"No actually, I hate seeing my cousin hurt."
"Course Dom, course."
"Hugo, you know that I have always stuck up for you and you same for me." I nodded.
"I can't even remember anything but the fight. I must have been really drunk."
"I don't doubt it." She laughed, I did as well. "I just wanted to say that no matter what I'll always stick up for you Hugo okay?"
"Thanks Dom. You really are an amazing cousin."
"I know." I laughed.
"Come on, your dads probably looking for you."
"I don't care if my dads looking for me."
"Ooh we got a badman over here. Come on stupid let's go." She laughed, I smirked getting up and letting her lead me back to the hospital.
"Sorr-" It was her, of all the people I had to bump into it was her. She stared at me and then smacked me round the face.
"Bastard."
"Ow, Alice stop please."
"No, you don't understand how I'm feeling now? Your so stupid, do you know that?" I'm guessing that was a rhetorical question, so I didn't answer.
"This isn't easy for me either."
"Well you shouldn't have been stupid then should you." Tears where streaming down her face.
"Please, I'm sorry."
"It's too late for that Hugo. You not the guy I thought you where." she hit me again.
"Your brothers already broken my arm, trying to kill me now?"
"Yes." She hit me again.
"Alice, where-" It was Harrison. He used his crutches to limp-walk over to me. "I hope your happy, upset everyone now haven't you." I clenched my teeth, wanting to punch him, but having the disadvantage of my right arm being broken. He hugged Alice, while I walked off to go get my stuff and go home.
"Hugo."
"Yes." I turned round to face who was talking.
"Can I talk to you for a second." It was my Uncle Harry. I walked over to him. "I know this is a bad time, but the muggle police have just got in contact with us and are fining yours and Harrison's parents for you underage drinking. But your dad-"
"Said I have to pay for it didn't he." I sighed.
"Yeah, look so I was thinking, I'll pay for it. Yeah? I know your having a hard time anyway."
"You'd do that? Even after all I've done." He nodded. "Thanks Uncle Harry, I'll pay you back... I'll find a wa-"
"Hugo you don't need to pay me, just promise me that you'll never ever do this again."
"I promise."
"Good."
"Got everything? Good boy." She hugged me. "Now Hugo, I know that it's been hard for you the past few weeks but remember you should keep you friends close."
"Okay, mum."
"Now go, don't want to miss the train do you." I smiled and jumped on the train after my cousin Lily. Obviously rumours had spread seen as everyone was pointing and whispering.
"Oi Weasley is it true that you shagged another girl at a club?" A Slytherin from my year asked, trying to annoy me. I went to punch him, but Lily pushed me away, telling him to fuck off, which just made him laugh more.
"Just Ignore them Hugo."
"Pft... Ignore them..."
"Please I don't want you getting hurt."
"Lily if they annoy me I'll punch them, fair?"
"It's your fault that they're trying to annoy you!"
"You as well now, great."
"If you thought before you did stuff then this wouldn't have happened!" I went quiet, now that Lily, one of my closest cousins, said that, I couldn't do nothing to deny it. She dragged me into a compartment and we sat down.
"I'll be back in a minute." I told Lily, getting up and opening the compartment door.
"Don't get into any fig-" But before she could finish I'd closed the door, and started walking away. I didn't exactly know where I was going, anywhere I could have some peace. And instead I got just the opposite of peace, I just got Harrison and his friend Sam trying to beat me up.
"Oi stupid!" Harrison called.
"What the fuck do you want?" I replied.
"Woah calm down, don't want to upset Alice now do we?" Harrison smirked.
"How can you go from my best mate to some bastard?"
"As easy as you went from my sister to some stupid other girl." Sam smirked behind him laughing.
"Shut up." I told him going to walk off, but Sam pushed me back.
"Your not leaving until you tell me why you done it."
"Why should I tell you?"
"Because I'm her brother."
"Yeah and a dick" He punched me in the face and the impact made me fall on to the ground, but I quickly got up running at him and pushed him to ground. Sam, finding this very entertaining, was shouting 'Fight'. Alice soon came out of that compartment, after hearing all the noise.
"STOP! PLEASE!" She screamed. But we weren't listening, thats when I heard more footsteps, running. People screaming, shouting. I didn't know what they where screaming about, until I saw that there was blood running down my face, in the window.
"HARRISON STOP PLEASE!" Alice screamed, now crying. I looked up, and stopped punching Harrison, but he took advantage of this and pushed me to the ground. To my suprise he opened the door to outside of the train and a gust of wind blew in.
"You wouldn't." I said over the wind, as a look of terror crossed my face. I was oblivious to everything going on around us. He pushed me out the door and I grabbed his shoulder and pulled him with me, Alice screamed and then it went dark as I collided with the ground.
