Sorry I haven't been uploading. I have been busy with preparations for my school's sports day and finally my sports day is over so I'll be able to update probably once a week or once every two weeks. I would like to thank you for reviewing and add my story as story alert. I appreciate it and I hope you'll enjoy chapter 10!

I had almost cried myself out by the time Owen burst into my room. He hugged me tightly and I sniffled against his shoulder. Owen and I shared a twin bond so we could feel each other's strongest feelings. If I was extremely sad or in extreme pain he could feel it and vice versa.

"Nightmares again?" he asked.

"Yeah. I thought it was finally over," I said between renewed sobs.

"Is it the same thing?"

"Yeah."

"You know it's not your fault, sis. You can't keep blaming yourself," he said.

"It is. I was supposed to die – not him! The only reason he died was because he was trying to save my life. It's not fair! I should have died!" I cried.

"Don't say that. What will happen to me if you die? You're my other half. Part of me will die with you. Rafe saved your life because he knew you'd have done the same thing if the situation was reversed. You can't keep on blaming yourself."

"I know but it's just not fair," I whined.

"Life isn't fair. We have to deal with it and make the most of our lives. You can't waste your life blaming yourself."

I didn't know what else to say so I just kept crying on Owen's shoulder.

I didn't feel like going to any of my classes the next day. I hadn't got any sleep and my eyes were puffy. I looked like a zombie with my pale face. Owen told the professors that I was feeling sick and said he'd send my homework to me when classes were over. I took a long relaxing bath while reading one of the novels that Ellisa had recommended and it was pretty good. When I emerged from the bathroom, I wore Owen's boxers and a v-neck t-shirt.

I was going to continue reading my book but I saw an owl near my window. I took the attached letter. It was from Lara.

Hey Olivia!
First of all OMG! Owen is in loove? Whoa! I feel bad for the girl. She'll get a drama queen as a boyfriend lol. Second of all, Liam is not that bad? Honey, are you mental? He's an ass! Third, if you talk to Blaise then I will go there and bitch slap you until you lose your sanity! OMG you kicked Draco Malfoy and I miss this historical moment? Darn it! Hehe. Well, there's this guy...he's sooooooo hot! The weirdest thing is that he doesn't talk to people. He's so mysterious but sometimes I can feel him staring at me. It's creepy and totally hot at the same time! His name is Avan Adler and *sigh* he's way hotter than Draco Malfoy and Owen mixed together.

I miss you girl!

I rolled my eyes and smiled at Lara's letter. I missed her a lot. I was going to reply but I heard a knock on my door. "Come in."

I expected it to be Owen but I was surprised to see Draco.

"Hello there. I heard you were sick. Are you alright?" he asked, looking concerned.

"Yeah, I feel a little unwell."

"You look pale," Draco noted. "Have you eaten anything?"

On cue my stomach grumbled. I knew I'd forgotten something. I just smiled sheepishly and Draco chuckled.

"I'll go and get you something," he offered.

"Coco Pops please," I said.

Draco raised an eyebrow. "Coco Pops? You do know it's lunchtime, right?"

"Yeah and I want Coco Pops," I demanded.

"As the lady wishes." He raised his hands in surrender and went downstairs.

He returned with my Coco Pops and I ate them so fast that Draco's mouth was wide open. After I was done emptying the bowl I put it on my bedside table.

"So, why are you here? Do you miss me?" I said, teasing him.

"No. I wanted people to believe that we were together. Besides, girls love me more for being a caring boyfriend." He winked.

I rolled my eyes and snorted. We joked for a while and I fell asleep. When I woke up Draco was no longer in my room. He had left me a note:

Some of us do not have the luxury of sleep – or an excuse to stay away from class. I'll see you later.
-DM-

I put the note down and closed my eyes. The same nightmares plagued me that night so I decided to skip school again. It was Friday and I had almost forgotten that I was supposed to meet Shelly. I took a shower, got dressed and headed to the Room of Requirement. I saw Shelly sitting down waiting for me.

"Hey Shells."

"Hey Livvy."

"So why didn't you tell me that you're dating Draco Malfoy?"

"Sorry. I forgot. I even forgot to tell Owen. So sorry, please forgive me."

"Nah, I'm not mad. I'm glad that you seem happy." Shelly smiled.

Wanting to change the subject, I asked, "So how are you and Abelardo?"

"He's great! He might be the one for me!" she squealed.

"You guys have not even dated for two months and you're saying he's the one?"

"A girl can dream," she muttered.

We chatted for a while and it felt great to hang out with Shelly. I didn't realize how much I'd missed her. It was time for dinner so Shelly and I decided to head for the Great Hall. Draco was waiting in the corridor outside the Room of Requirement.

"Why are you here?" I asked.

"I'm waiting for you," he answered calmly.

"How did you know I was here?"

"You told me the other day that you were going to meet Shelly, remember?"

"Oh, right." I smiled.

"Let's go, my dear." He kissed my cheeks and took my hand. I could hear Shelly saying something like "aww".

Shelly told us to go first so we did. Draco and I annoyed and teased each other all the one down to the Great Hall. When we entered, everyone stared at us. I just acted like nothing had happened. Draco walked me towards Owen and said, "See you later." He kissed my cheeks and went to the Slytherin table.

I sat next to Owen and glanced towards Pansy and Blaise. They both looked like they were going to murder someone. I smiled in satisfaction and started eating my dinner.
