I think we left off here...
"Actually Im going to go with
Stacie to buy her new dress" I said getting out of the car
without even kissing him. I didnt want to kiss him it just didnt feel
right.
"Oh ok,"
He said and I shut the door, part
of me was trying to be mean so that maybe he would just call the
wedding off but even I knew that wasnt going to happen and I was
going to marry Draco no matter what.
"Guess
what?" I said entering the house and jumping on the couch I
smiled at Harry and popped a spot right next to him while putting my
head on his lap.
"What?" Stacie said coming in and
smiling. She sat on the other side of Harry.
"Katie turned
out to be the house seller that Draco was talking about" I said
casually but it was really killing me inside.
"What?"
"And guess who else was there?"
"Oh no, did
Draco and Oliver get in a fight?"
"No, thank god, but I
dont think Im liking the whole jealousy issue that Draco has, it
pisses me off you know?" She nodded and rolled her eyes.
"Im
sorry to ask again but why are you marrying him, its clear to all of
us that you dont love him"
"Trust me, I know I want to"
I said standing up and hurrying up the stairs.
"Suit your
self" Stacie said kissing Harry, I almost envied her because she
had the person she loved and I didnt.
Instead I had a selfish
loser for a fianc. Could life get any better?
The
next morning while doing my morning jog I ran into Katie who also
seemed into jogging. This time she recognized me.
"Hey, youre
Ally right?" I had no choice but to nod and keep
jogging.
"Olivers told me so much about you, he says youre a
wonderful girl," I smiled to myself. That sounded so much like
Oliver.
"Well thats good" I replied.
"Yeah, Im
so happy because Oliver finally told me that hes willing to try it
out with me, Ive been in love with Oliver ever since we went to
school together" I kept a straight face but I really wanted to
just tell her to shut up, that I was already miserable enough.
"Yeah,
I heard great things about your fiance too"
"From
Oliver?"
"No on the news paper, his father is Lucius
Malfoy, its no wonder he didnt care about the house price, he has
more money than anyone can wish for" I looked at her.
"Sorry
I didnt mean-" She looked a bit embarrassed but there was
something so fake about her I just couldnt quite put my finger on it.
With Tracy it had been different. I knew that she was nice right
from the beginning but with Katie I didnt feel that way. There was
something about her I didnt like.
"Its okay, I have to go but
congrats with you and Oliver"
"Oh thanks, were going to
have a wonderful night tonight, Bye" I couldnt help but stop and
watch her as she jogged away,
Had she said what I thought she had
said? Had Oliver already had sex with her? Oh Christ that hurt so
much to think about.
That day we went looking for Stacies dress, just like me, she didnt find one she was satisfied with so I just sat and watched while I complained about how hot it was. Then we ate some ice cream and just hung out for the rest of the day. Stacie even decided that we needed that day off so we didnt show up for dinner and we both kept our cellphones off since we wanted to go undestirbed.
"You
ever think that love just shows up out of nowhere, like
surprisingly?" I looked at Stacie as we sat on the park.
"Yeah,
it comes and it goes, sometimes people have harder times than
others"
"Yeah, I know, Ive seen you suffer, I seriously
think that you deserve better"
"Thanks Stacie I dont
know what Ill do with out you"
"You act as if were
moving far away, see thats the difference between us and the muggles
we can see eachother any time and they dont cause it costs money"
I laughed.
"True"
"Ally, I want to ask you one
thing, promise me youll answer me with honesty"
"It
depends on the question"
"Please, just promise"
"Fine, I promise"
"Why are you marrying Draco,
tell me, you can trust me, I think you need to tell someone, let it
out"
I was quiet for a few minutes looking up at the sky. I
really wanted to tell someone to just let that weight off my chest
and cry on someones shoulder and I couldnt think of any better person
than Stacie.
"Okay Ill tell you" I said sitting up and
clearing my throat.
"okay"
"Mr. Malfoy
threatened me, he said that if I didnt marry Draco, he knows nothing
of this, that he would make sure Oliver never sat foot in another
quidditch field, or a job for that matter, he said he would basically
ruin his life, but thats not all, Im sure that he would go to
extremes as to kill him, we both know he has that kind of power"
"Omg, I cant believe him" I nodded.
"But you
love Oliver, and that asshole, you should tell your grandfather, hell
help you"
"Please, I dont grandpa involved in this
okay, I know what Im doing so please dont judge me, just promise me
you wont tell?" Stacie nodded.
"I just cant believe him,
I wish I cold kill him"
"Im going to be okay, I jus dont
want anything to happen to Oliver, he loves quidditch, its his life"
I said clearing my throat again.
"I was wrong, you werent
just crushing on him back then at Hogwarts. You truly do love him,
youre willing to sacrifice yourself for love once again, youre giving
up your life, for him "I nodded and looked down sadly. Stacie
grabbed my arm and smiled sadly.
"Im so proud of you, I
admire you, youre idol material, you have such strength I hope
someday I can be like you" I couldnt help it then I broke down
crying on her shoulder. It felt so good to just let it out with
someone to comfort me for once. Someone who had shared everything
with me for years. Someone who knew me so well.
