Chapter 14- Don't Ever Leave My Side

Albus watched as the owl carrying his letter to his father slowly became smaller and smaller. Now that his letter was done and gone he knew what he had to do next. He had to talk to Scorpius. He quickly ran downstairs to the Great Hall. In the Entrance Hall he saw Katelynn standing by herself. When she saw him she quickly turned around and left. He remembered how he had left her after her confession and thought to follow her but she had disappeared in a crowd of people. He looked around a bit but couldn't find her. However, he did find Scorpius. He was with Rose in a corner of the Hall. Albus ran up to them.

"Scorpius!" said Albus.

"Al…"

Albus grinned and pulled Scorpius into a big hug. Scorpius, shocked, didn't hug Al back. Al stopped grinning.

"Scorp, I don't care what our fathers did in the past. You are a wonderful person and I don't care if your father did… er… bad things in his past. I don't care. I want to be best mates again."

"You… don't care?"

"Of course I don't!"

Scorp grinned and hugged Al.

"I'm sorry for ignoring you Al."

The lake was as beautiful as ever. The water glistened in the moon's light. The lake had many secrets below its waves… many different creatures swam around in the blue-green water. Katelynn sat on the fluffy, white snow wondering about the lakes many mysteries. A small part of her wanted to jump in the freezing cold lake and let the waves take her away. She blinked away her tears. She would cry no more. She would have to act normal… forget everything that happened and act like Al's friend again. She liked him a lot but she couldn't stop being his friend because he didn't like her. She wouldn't be able to bear being away from him. Plus, if she wanted to forget everything, what would she say when Rose and Scorpius asked her what the matter was?

Katelynn could hear the loud, fast music from inside the castle. Many couples were hidden behind the many bushes near the school. She knew that people would start to wonder where she was but she couldn't go back to the Great Hall. She would have to face Albus at some point but not today.

So, she slowly made her way up the field away from the lake ignoring the giggling in the bushes. She kept her eyes on her feet slowly stepping forward so she didn't notice the person standing a few yards away from her until she walked into him.

"Sor-" Katelynn started but stopped when she saw who it was.

"Katelynn," said Al. "I finally found you." He reached out and tried to grab her hand but she pulled away from him.

"I have to go," she said, "I'm tired."

"Please, Katelynn. I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have left you… I didn't want to but Rose had to tell me something really important."

"And what I was trying to tell you wasn't important?" Katelynn said before she could stop herself.

Al looked at his feet. "What you told me was very important too… I'm really sorry… but it was about my dad and… what I want to tell you is that I like you too. I really like you and I want to be your boyfriend. I'm sorry I left you, can you please forgive me?"

Katelynn was shocked. Al… liked her back? Her? He wanted to be her boyfriend? She opened her mouth but no words came out.

Al looked at her sadly. "I'm so sorry I made you hurt… please forgive me." He turned around and started to leave.

Katelynn reached out and grabbed his arm. "Don't go… don't ever leave me. I always want you to be by my side. I'm sorry for getting so upset. Your family is more important and I really like you. I want to be your girlfriend." She wrapped her arms around him and saw Thea, her eyes full of tears. She turned around and ran away.
