Ch 7.

Betrayal

I was running through the halls, towards the Gryffindor common room, I couldn't un-see what I had just seen. I was running to get to a sanctuary, somewhere I could lie down and sleep, cry myself to sleep. Everything was going so well, everything. Until he, he-

It was the morning after my night with Scorpius, and I was roaming the hallways, (I think I was on the fourth or fifth floor) before breakfast, totally at peace with myself, and thinking over everything Scor had said last night.

Then I had seen it.

I rounded the corner, and there stood Scorpius and Lily, locked in a fierce embrace, trapped in a deep kiss.

I had stood there for what seemed like ages, my mouth agape. Then Scorpius opened his eyes, and nearly instantaneously threw Lily off him. We had locked eyes for two seconds, his full of apology, before I had turned and run.

And that's the state I was in now, running through the hallway, nearly at the Gryffindor common room.

Then I heard it, when I was right outside the portrait hole, having just screamed the password at it.

"Rose!" came Scor's call, from a few metres away.

It was my natural reaction to simply turn around to the sound of my name. Of course, he reacted to this, and took to begging.

"Rose, please come back. I promise it's not what it looks like, Rose, Rose-"

I slammed the portrait shut, and turned and ran upstairs to the dorm. I slammed the door behind me, and sunk slowly to the floor, and began to cry.

There, before me, sat a bewildered Dominique, who, knowing about everything that had happened and how I had felt up until a few minutes ago, was probably scared and tired of my mood swings.

"Rosie, honey, what happened?" she said, kneeling on the ground before me, scooping me up and carrying me onto her bed, closest to the door.

"He-he, he was kissing Lily," I bawled.

I couldn't believe I was acting like this; I didn't even want him like that right at that moment. Why did it matter to me? Why did I care who he kissed? Why didn't I just accept it?

Of course I knew the answer, he lied. He told me he'd wait. He told me he loved me.

It was typical Scorpius, going after all the girls. Exactly what he always did. But I just didn't understand why I didn't think that was going to happen in the first place.

I, lying there on my bed, with Dom murmuring too me, and holding me in her arms, thought one last thing before I blacked out.

Of course you cared, you love him.

I woke up on Dominique's bed. I felt disgusting, like I had slept for days. I slowly sat up, and felt a slight pain in my head in doing this. All the other girls in the dorm were asleep, so at first I thought it was night-time. Then I saw a crack of light coming through from between the curtains. I got up, and Dom stirred, from next to me. I realised she was in my bed.

After a few seconds, Dom fully woke up, and turned to look at me, standing awkwardly next to the window.

"Morning, sleepy," she murmured, still half asleep.

"Morning Dom, how long was I asleep for?"

"Well, it's Saturday now, I had to leave you at around midday yesterday when McGonagall came up to the dorm to see where we were."

I was surprised, I had slept 24 hours? I couldn't remember the last time I had slept for this long.

Dom saw the question in my eyes and answered, "you've had a lot on your plate lately Rosie, you needed a good sleep."

"Yeah I guess," I replied, "I just cant believe I missed a whole day, I mean, the only reason I'm staying is for my studies, I can't miss a thing!"

I was starting to get upset again, and I felt myself losing it. I needed to get a hold of myself.

Dom saw this to, and jumped out of bed to hug me.

"Hey, come on Rosie, it's alright. But do you really think you've only stayed for your studies?"

"Has he said something to you?" I was a bit freaked, I had to admit.

"No Rose, don't freak out," she replied quickly, "he has been pestering me a tiny bit though. About where you were, what you had said etc."

The other girls in the dorm were starting to wake up now, so I decided to go make myself presentable.

"Okay Dom, well I'm gonna go shower now, I'll meet you down in the common room when we're both ready," I said, hugging her, and running for the bathroom.

"Rose, come on, please just speak to me, I want to explain!"

It was only Wednesday, and I had to say, I had heard this about a million times. So much that I had taken to staying in the Gryffindor common room as much as possible.

I didn't want to talk about what had happened. I didn't even want to be here.

I was starting to believe myself, that the only reason I had stayed was Scorpius. But I was so stubborn with myself that I knocked the idea out of my head completely.

Also, every time I saw Lily, she looked at my sympathetically. I mean, I didn't want to have a falling out with my family, but she was acting all sorry for me. A few times she had opened her mouth, I had quickly walked away, pretending I hadn't seen her. I know, it was horrible, but I didn't want to talk.

Between Scor, Lily, Grandad and school, I didn't have time to just be with myself. We were going home in two days though, which was going to be awesome, back to my home, where I could be alone, and even if mum made me talk to her, which I knew she would, I was ok with that.

One thing I had been thinking frequently though, and was glad of: at least I haven't seen Scorpius and Lily together since their kiss.

Hope you loved, bit more drama to come before I'll wrap it up. I mean, I can't keep Sco/Rose apart for much longer! Review? ;) x
