Tragic Tales of Teenagers
Chapter Eight
Love Hurts
Allie frantically struggled against David's tight grip.
"Get off me!" she screamed.
Fred walked by just as David tried to take Allie down underwater.
"What the hell are you doing?" Fred hollered. He dove in and pulled David off of Allie. Then he pulled back his fist and swung at David. He hit him right in the nose. David screamed like a little girl and got as quickly as he could out of the pool. Allie watched him run off as he clutched his nose tightly.
"Thanks for um." Allie said.
"No need for thanks. I'm just happy you're okay," Fred said smiling. He leaned over and kissed her on the cheek. Fred got out and helped Allie out as well.
"I have to go. George and I were about to throw some water balloons at everyone at the beach party. Last time Harry threw them all at himself before we could stop him. Bye Allie," Fred said.
Allie looked at him walk towards the beach and smiled.
Meanwhile, back at the beach party, everyone was having a blast. Harry had stripped down into his underwear and was running in circles like a lunatic. Whitley was having a conversation with Draco away from the crowed of people around the stage where a band was playing.
"Why won't you give me a chance?" Draco asked her.
"Because there is something about me that I know you won't like," Whitley replied.
"And what's that? A third arm?" Draco said jokingly.
"I'm Muggle born," Whitley said flatly.
"What?" Draco exclaimed as his jaw dropped. He looked at her in disgust and ran off. That was Draco, always running off when he couldn't think of something to say.
Whitley was happy to see that Charlie had found a girlfriend though. She was a tall blond-headed girl named Shelly. Bill came over and handed Whitley a bottle of water.
"So you got things straightened out?" Bill asked Whitley.
"I dunno, I think I gave him a bit of a shock but oh well," she replied.
Just then, a tall man walked over and grabbed Whitley's arm.
"You are not Muggle born," he told her.
"What? My parents are Muggles and they died after I was born. So I think you have the wrong girl," she told him.
"No. Your father is Sirius Black. We have not yet found out who your mother is. But you are a pure blood wizard.
Whitley blinked and the man disappeared. She looked at Bill who was staring wide-eyed at the spot where the man had just stood. A blue water balloon sailed past Bill's head and splashed water all over the sand behind him.
The next morning, Ginny woke to a tapping noise. She got up and walked towards the noise. It was coming from the closet. Slowly, she opened the door and something shot out at her.
"Spider!" she screamed.
Allie woke up to her scream.
"Oh my goodness! It's a baby acromantula!" Allie cried. She grabbed her shoe and squashed it. A sigh of relief came from Ginny. Ginny and Allie were now the only two girls living in their room. Hermione was at the hospital and their fourth roommate never showed up. Whitley and Libbie were staying in other rooms. So it was a little lonely.
After breakfast at a diner, Fred pulled Allie aside to kiss her. When Allie opened her eyes from the kiss, she saw Ron's face looking at her like she was a ghost.
"Oh no," Allie moaned.
"You! Get the hell over here now!" Ron yelled pointing at his brother, Fred.
"Ron, I can explain," Fred said.
"Explain what? How you stole my girlfriend?"
"I didn't steal her! She was never your girlfriend to begin with."
"She was going to be. You knew that I liked her, and what did you do? You go and kiss her! I bet you did it just to make me mad. Well it worked!"
"Ron, it's nothing like that. I didn't mean to make you mad at all. I just thought that since she was available and since I like her that I wouldn't wait around for my little brother to finally make a move."
"I did make a move!"
"Yeah, but she said no. Point proven."
Ron's face was redder than his hair. He stormed off with anger burning on his face.
Back outside by the pool, which separated the girl's and boy's rooms, Ron waited for Fred.
"It's time to settle this," Ron said glaring at Fred.
"What? You want to fight me?" Fred laughed.
Ron ran towards Fred at full speed but Fred moved out of the way. Ron knocked Allie down though. She lay unconscious on the hard concrete. Fred took a swing at Ron. He hit him on the cheek. Ron swung at Fred's nose but missed when Fred ducked. Fred's fist flew at Ron's eye and it immediately began to turn an ugly shade of purple. It swelled and closed. Ron reached in his pocket and pulled out a knife. He gripped it and started swinging it about carelessly. It kissed Fred's chin and then Ron dropped it to the ground.
Ron fell to his knees and cried. He waved his arms around until he found Fred and hugged him.
"I'm so sorry!" he said through some sobs.
Fred rolled his eyes and said, "It's okay." Both of them knew better than to let a girl come between them. Just now noticing Allie, Fred gasped and ran over to her.
"Allie?" he called as he softly slapped her on the cheeks to see if she would wake. "Ron! Go and call someone!"
Moments later, an ambulance pulled up by them.
"How long has she been out?" a doctor asked as they put her in the ambulance.
"I dunno. Just a few minutes I think," Fred said.
"You two are hurt. What happened?" the doctor asked as he eyed Fred's cut and Ron's bruises.
"Just messing around, nothing serious. Is Allie going to be okay?" Fred asked. The doctor said maybe and they climbed into the ambulance with Allie.
Allie frantically struggled against David's tight grip.
"Get off me!" she screamed.
Fred walked by just as David tried to take Allie down underwater.
