Chapter 23

Jackie walked up to Mr. Cole's desk. "Can I go to the washroom?"

Mr. Cole eyed Jackie suspiciously. "Okay but be back in five minutes."

Jackie nodded her head and took off towards the hospital wing.

Nehal looked at Heather. "Heather, why do you look so sad?" (Aww, LOL)

Heather shook her head. "I'm not sad."

Hermione smirked and walked towards Nehal and Heather. She put her elbows on the spare space of the desk that wasn't in use. "She's sad because Mr. Von Gooshy is leaving the school."

"WHAT?" exclaimed Heather. "He's leaving?"

"That's what I heard. My sources are always correct."

Nehal glared at Hermione. "Mione leave us alone unless you'd like your next period to come out of your nose."

Hermione looked away and Nehal laughed.

"When and where is he planning to leave Hermione?" asked Heather

"Who knows and he's moving to teach at Beauxbottoms."

"You're such a bad liar!"

"Ms. Granger!" said Mr. Cole. "Could you please go back to your seat?"

"Sure!" Hermione glared at Nehal and Heather and walked back to sit beside Ron.

Nehal whispered to Heather. "What was that about? Do you think she's been drinking again?"

"Probably." Heather paused. "Damn it! I hate Mondays!" (Omg me too!)

Nehal wrapped her arm around Heather's shoulders. "The good news is class is almost over."

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Madame Pomfrey didn't really care about how much Tylenol Jackie was taking so she just let her take as many as she needed.

Jackie swallowed a bunch of pills and took a sip of water from a water bottle. She smiled feeling much better. Jackie then walked back into the classroom.

Draco winked at Jackie.

Jackie smiled at Draco and sat back down beside Danielle.

"So…how's life?" asked Jackie.

Danielle said, "Stupid! These questions are all about vampires! How are we supposed to know all this shit?"

"Ask me!" said Heather. "After all I am the expert."

Nehal laughed, "Yeah Heather you read so much about vampires."

Jackie put her hand to her forehead. She was getting a major headache. "Ow it hurts." muttered Jackie.

"What hurts?" asked Danielle

"Nothing." Jackie wondered if this was the pain that Harry felt with his scar when Voldemort was near. But she was pretty sure her headache was worse. Her head was pounding violently. Jackie thought. "I need more pills." She put her hands over her ears, to prevent all the noise coming from around her. Jackie looked at her textbook and tried to focus on the words but they were all blurry and spread out. "Okay since when was I not capable of reading." Jackie started to feel a bit queasy and she felt like the room was spinning out of control.

"Jackie! I said are you-"Danielle said for the third time, but got interrupted by the bell.

Draco walked over to Jackie. "Hey Jaxs."

Jackie smiled weakly at him. "Hey." Jackie started to exit the classroom with Draco, Nehal, Heather and Danielle following behind when Jackie unexpectedly tripped over a chair. She started to laugh hysterically.

"Are you okay?" asked Nehal.

"Yeah, omg that was so funny!"

Draco put his hand out for Jackie to take.

"Thank ya!"

"Ya welcome!"

Heather said, "Hey did you know that every time you trip over a chair a winbow is happy. So you tripped over a chair and you're happy! Are you a winbow?"

"No I'm not! Look, I bet I can touch the sign." Jackie jumped up and touched a sign in the corridor.

"Go Jackie!" said Danielle

Heather skipped around in a circle. Usually only she was that crazy! So much fun. Except the time when Jackie and her were in the bathroom. "Oh no!" thought Heather. She looked at Jackie and said, "Jackie!"

Jackie stopped jumping and looked at Heather. "Yeah?"

"You didn't take any…pills…did you?" Heather whispered so no one else could hear their conversation.

"Mm…"

"Yeah?"

"BOP!" (Ahaha I love that)

Draco laughed.

"Shut up!" yelled Heather. "Tell me did you take any?" Heather demanded while shaking Jackie.

"Heather stop!" said Jackie. "I'm gonna get a headache."

"What are you talking about! Take what?" asked Nehal

"Oh yeah…" Heather said looking back at the others.

"What's going on?" asked Draco.

Heather said, "Jackie. You have to tell them."

"Um…okay." replied Jackie. "Wait what I am supposed to be telling them?"

"The truth!" Heather looked at Draco, Nehal and Danielle. "Jackie's addicted to Tylenol wizarding pills!"

There was an awful long silence.

"Is this your idea of a joke?" asked Draco. "Because it's not very funny."

"It's not a joke Malfoy! It's true! She's been taking them ever since she thought that you and Nehal were going out and that was over a year ago!"

Jackie said, "Whoa that was a long time ago."

Danielle, Nehal and Draco's eyes were all focused on Jackie who thought the wall was a mirror. "Mirror, mirror on the wall who's the fairest one of them all…and if you say Hermione Granger I will smash you!"

Danielle said, "Wow poor Jackie."

Heather's eyes widened. "So you believe me then?"

"Of course! She seems to be acting like she's on them…and in class she mentioned that she had a painful, major headache."

"Well done Danie!" Jackie gave Danielle a hug.

Danielle patted Jackie's back and Jackie clapped in return. (Like in One tree hill whenever Lucas and Keith hug, LOL, it's priceless) "You need to like down now!" Danielle said this very loudly but slow so Jackie could understand the dialogue.

"You go lie down!" shouted Jackie.

Nehal crossed her arms over her chest not knowing if she should believe this or not.

Draco walked slowly towards Jackie.

Jackie looked at her boyfriend. "Sup sup Draco!"

Draco pulled Jackie into a hug. "Why are you doing this Jaxs?"

"Because I can and because I want to."

"Jackie…are you gonna be okay?"

There was no answer from Jackie.

"Jackie?"

"Mm…you're wearing Ralph Lauren cologne."

Draco smirked and looked at the three girls. "I think she's gonna be okay."

Nehal rolled her eyes. "Jackie's perfectly fine. She's just acting crazy because she wants the attention!"

"Attention?" asked Jackie confused.

Nehal walked closer to Jackie. "Your eyes are blood shot."

Jackie blinked. "They are?"

Heather said, "Anyways I think we should get her up to the dorm room."

"No!" whined Jackie. "I want to stay with Draco." She clinged onto Draco like a child would do to a mother.

Danielle laughed. "That's so cute."

Heather looked into Jackie's eyes and began talking to her in a soothing voice. "Jackie, Draco's a Slytherin. He can't come with us."

"He did last year when he turned into a snake!" objected Jackie.

Nehal laughed. "Oh yeah…I remember that. Good times."

Draco kissed Jackie's hair. "I can't do that right now sweets."

Danielle whispered to Nehal. "My ex-boyfriend turned into a snake too!" (Literally)

Jackie was still clinging onto Draco because if she let go she felt like she would crumble down to the ground.

Nehal looked around. "We should get her to bed before the teachers see her like this."

"See me like what?" asked Jackie. "They already know what I look like so why does it matter?"

"I'm serious!" protested Nehal.

"Omg me too! I'm serious as well!"

Danielle said, "Okay if this is her serious side then what is her whacko side?"

Jackie grinned widely. "Want to see it?"

"No!" yelled Heather, Danielle and Nehal.

Jackie pretended to cry in Draco's chest. "Fine then. Be that way."

Heather replied, "Maybe we will."

"Fine!"

"Fine!"

Jackie then let go of Draco very cautiously and swayed over to Heather. Jackie hugged Heather. "I'm so sorry. I totally didn't mean anything I said."

"It's alright. I forgive you."

"Yay!"

Nehal and Danielle smiled at each other. (Aww)

Draco said, "So Reid how come you didn't tell us this sooner?"

Heather answered, "She told me not to tell…and I thought she stopped." Heather glared at Jackie.

"I did!" said Jackie. "I haven't been on a skateboard since."

"Right…"

"Where's Draco?"

"I'm right here!" said Draco.

Jackie waddled over to him like she was a penguin and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "I lub you."

Draco laughed lightly. "Thanks I lub you too…"

Nehal shook her head and muttered, "This is too weird."

Jackie glared at Nehal. "You know what? You're weird! You're even weirder then weird!"

"Ooh diss!" said Heather

Nehal shrugged her shoulders in response. "If you say so."

"I do say so!"

"Yes…"

"Come on guys, we have to go!" said Heather. "If Professor McGonagall or Flich catches us out here we're gonna be in a whole lot of shit."

Jackie gasped. "Heather you said a bad word!"

"Uh oh!" said Draco.

Heather started to drag Jackie away from Draco and down the corridor.

"No! Stop it!" Jackie broke free of Heather's grasp and ran to Draco, but Danielle tackled her down before she could reach him.

Jackie said, "Ow! My headache is coming back!"

"You better not be faking it!" warned Nehal

"She's not! Come on Jackie." said Heather and kicked her side.

"OW!"

Danielle and Heather both pulled Jackie up to the ground and escorted her back to the common room.

Nehal watched them worriedly while Draco watched her.

Draco said, "Why don't you believe her?"

Nehal shrugged her shoulders and looked downcast. She sighed and then looked back at Draco. "I just…this isn't really something that she would do. Gosh Draco it's been a year since she's been doing this? How could we have been so thick?"

"Well I think the question is how could you be so thick because you know Malfoy's are not thick!"

Nehal rolled her eyes.

"So…" Draco walked beside Nehal. "How are things with Bell?"

"Good."

"Oh yeah?"

Nehal laughed. "Yeah."

Draco smirked at her.

Nehal looked at Draco's lower arm.

Draco noticed Nehal staring at him. "What?"

"Oh nothing." Nehal shook her head. 5 seconds later she looked at the exact same place. She seemed to be pondering about something.

Draco noticed Nehal staring again. "Okay Nehal I know I'm hot but can you please stop staring?"

Nehal playfully punched him in the shoulder.

The next day…

Jackie woke up to find nobody in the dorm room. "Where did everyone go?" She said in a groggily tone. Jackie's hair was a mess and her eyes were bloodshot.

Just then Timmy strolled into the room.

"Timmy!"

Timmy looked at Jackie. He communicated with Heather telling her that Jackie was now awake.

Jackie held her teddy bear Fuzzy close to her.

"Good morning Jackie!" said Nehal and Danielle as they walked into the dorm room.

Heather came in last, patting Timmy. "Good work Timmy." She looked at Jackie. "How was your sleep?"

"Yeah, you feeling any better?" asked Danielle

"Um…sure." answered Jackie. "What time is it?"

Heather looked at her watch. "Its 10:59 oh wait now its 11:00."

There was silence.

Nehal, Danielle and Heather were all smiling at Jackie.

Jackie said, "I'm scared. Why are you all being so nice to me?"

Nehal said, "Part of the reason why you took the painkillers was because of us, and it makes us feel bad that you're putting your life in danger instead of confronting us about it. So…I'm gonna try and be a bit more civil to you and make sure you don't do something stupid like this again!"

Danielle replied, "Same goes with me."

"Ditto!" said Heather.

Jackie smiled. "Well I'm glad that's settled but…you don't have to act all weird and be all cheery and let's be friends again attitude!"

"Well…what do you want from us then?" asked Heather.

"Money! Totally joking by the way. You guys don't have to do anything…this is my problem."

"But we want to help!" said Danielle. "And I'm sure Malfoy will want too as well."

"Draco…my boyfriend…wow kind of forgot about him for a second…"

"So what are you gonna do Jaxs?"

"I don't know. He doesn't have to anything for me…quite frankly I don't deserve it because I haven't been completely honest with him."

"About the…stuff?" asked Nehal.

"Yeah I made some lame excuse about making a lust potion!"

Nehal, Heather and Danielle laughed.

"Come on, let's go outside and play in the snow!" suggested Heather.

It was fun to read!
