Chapter 5
Dear Diary,
Everything I imagined that could go wrong did. Ron does like me , a lot and he saw Malfoy and I down at the lake. He then went into a jealous rage. I stood there, flabergasted watching while Ron hit him screaming at him that he was a jerk. Malfoy now has a black eye. Ron has no idea what trouble he could be in if Draco realizes that he hit him because of me. Mr. Weasley could be fired from his job or accused of being a death eater. Mr. Malfoy definaltely will not tolerate anyone who tries to get in the way of Draco and my relationship. He wants us to get so close– so powerful. He knows that wont happen with Weasley or any other guy I might like around. Im pretending to me upset with Ron so maybe hell forget about me and move on. Its hard bu I have to do it.
Alexis closed her diary and put it underneath her mattress so no one could find it. She really wished she could talk to someone about this. Draco was so nice to her thinks all the kissing and hand holding is making me fall in love with him, not its not. These thoughts filled her head as she fell asleep.
For the next day, Alexis stuck mostly to herself, not talking to anyone before classes, and sat alone at lunch. When Ron tried to confront her she would take off running. The ext day was the same.
3 days after Draco and Rons row, Alexis was returning from the lake when she entered the common room, it was empty except for a boy hidden behind an issue of the Daily Prophet. It was Ron. She ignored him until she started up the stairs.
"Alexis" he cried "Im sorry I really am, but I just couldnt help seeing you with that slime ball, hanging all over you like that." she was shocked, speechless, and on the verge of tears. Ive saw him kiss you before, I saw it happen over and over again. I cant stand it anymore because I love you!"
At that Alexis burst out crying. " Ron, you dont understand, I... I love you too. But I... hed never allow it." Tears continued rolling down her cheeks.
Ron was puzzled at that remark but was overjoyed that she felt the same way. He did not want to upset her with any questions. Alexis ran to him and threw her arms around his body. Ron, ( caught up in the moment) lifted her head and pulled it close. There lips met, Ron felt the warm tears running down her face , and her lips, smooth and soft. Minutes later they were on the couch, Ron holding Alexis close, watching the fire place.
