I stared at Madame Pomfrey, unable to process her words. She turned and closed the door behind her, leaving us all standing there. There was a deadly silence. I replayed her words in my mind, and they finally sank in. I reached out and leaned against the wall to stabilize myself.
~*When all the vacancy
The words revealed,
Is the only real thing
That I got left to feel.*~Linkin Park-Somewhere I Belong
"No," Alicia whispered. "No."
"This isn't happening," Angelina said. "It can't be." I glanced at Cedric, who was staring back at me.
"M-maybe Madame Pomfrey made a mistake?" George piped up.
"Yeah!" Fred exclaimed. "She could've been wrong."
"Oh c'mon," Cedric said. "She's about dead, and we all have to face it."
How can he be like this? (A/N-I KNOW Cedric is really not himself, but this is my story, so deal.) "You'll be dead too," I heard Fred mutter. I couldn't agree more.
"Can't Madame Pomfrey just like, do a spell or something?" Angelina asked.
"Evidently not," came Alicia's reply. "Oliver, you ok?"
"You already asked me that," I said bitterly.
"Sorry, I was only trying to-"
"I don't care," I snapped. "I'll never be fine until Katie's fine."
"Look Oliver," Fred said in a reasoning voice. "We know how upset you are, but you're not the only one. Katie's our friend too. We care about her too."
"But I need Katie!" I protested.
"We all do," George said. "She's what holds us all together."
~*And I live it all out to find,
That I'm not the only person
With these things in mind.*~Linking Park-Somewhere I Belong
"You don't understand," I said. "Katie is my life, as pathetic as it sounds."
"And believe me, it's pathetic," Cedric's voice rang through the corridor.
"You know Diggory, no one's making you stay here with us," Angelina snapped. "If you're too good for us, then you have our permission to leave."
"I wasn't looking for anyone's permission," Cedric muttered.
"Then leave."
"I will." He walked off, towards the Great Hall.
"Well that's taken care of," Fred mumbled.
"I'm going back to the tower," I grumbled. I turned to leave.
"Oliver, wait!"
I turned, as Alicia grabbed my arm. "It'll all be all right," she whispered. I nodded, turned, and trudged back to Gryffindor Tower.
The sun was setting as I collapsed onto my bed. I didn't bother about dinner or sleep. I lie awake, alone, with nothing to do, nothing to feel. Tears stung my eyes. I couldn't cry, even if Katie was worth every tear in my body.
~*The sun is gone, The nights are long. And I am left while the tears fall.*~The All-American Rejects-Swing, Swing
I can hear music playing in the distance. I try to block it out, but fail, so I closed my eyes, and let the words run through my head.
~*I cannot help it.
Couldn't stop it if I tried.
The same old heartbeat,
Fills the emptiness I have inside.
And I've heard that
You can't fight love,
So I won't complain.
Cuz why would I
Stop the fire that keeps me going on?
Cuz when there's you, I feel whole. And there's no better feeling in the world. But without you, I'm alone. And I'd rather be in love, With you.
Turn out the lights now. To see, is to believe. I just want you near me. I just want you here with me. And I'd give up everything only for you. It's the least that I could do.
Cuz when there's you, I feel whole. And there's no better feeling in the world. But without you, I'm alone. And I'd rather be in love, With you.
I feel you holding me. Why are we afraid to Be in love? To be loved? I can't explain it, I know it's tough. To be loved. And I feel you holding me.
But when there's you, I feel whole. And there's no better feeling in the world. But without you, I'm alone. And I'd rather be in.....
Cuz when there's you, I feel whole. And there's no better feelin', There's no better feeling in the world. I'm alone. And I'd rather be in love, Yes I'd rather be in love, Oh, I'd rather be in love, With you.
And I feel you holding me......*~Michelle Branch-I'd Rather Be in Love
With a rush of gratitude, I felt sleep overtake me. Yet, as I finally drifted off, I figured I might as well have stayed awake. Dreams, no nightmares, took over my mind. I couldn't escape them.
~*I know well what lies
Beyond my sleeping refuge.
The nightmare I built,
My own world to escape.*~Evanescence-Imaginary
I jerked around, tangling myself in the bedcovers, willing myself to wake up. However, I didn't until I was shaken awake by someone.
(I FINALLY UPDATED! Aren't you people proud? You have no idea how hard this was to write! I have no ideas! School sucks! I have to sit by this one guy in every class, and we HATE each other! Then, I'm stuck with these two losers who annoy the hell out of me. Gee, I'm real lucky, aren't I? At least I didn't get this one teacher who hits on all the girls. Eh, yeah, don't ask. Ok, I'll TRY to update this quicker, but I can't make any promises, since I'm loaded with homework and soccer practice and loads of other shit. All right, see ya people later! Well, I won't see you, but you know what I mean.)
