I woke up feeling like I was made of lead. Why had he done that to me? After he promised not to, he had still done this.
I guess he'll never change, I thought. I made up my mind then. I was going to tell Cory and the others. We could meet somewhere and I would tell them what has been going on. I tried to sit up but pain shot through me. I moaned and laid back down. I looked beside me and saw Draco sitting in a chair next to the bed. He was asleep. My heart throbbed painfully. I still loved him. I reached out to touch his hand, which was resting on his knee. When I moved my arm pain shot through it. I cried out softly. Draco jerked awake and looked at me sleepily.
"You're awake," he whispered. I nodded. Draco shifted uncomfortably.
"I called a Healer," he said. "After you're fixed up you'll be fine." I nodded again. Draco reached out and brushed my hair away from my face.
"I love you," he said. "Tell me that you love me too."
"I...I love you," I said. Why am I being so stupid? Draco leaned over and kissed my lips. I closed my eyes and waited until he pulled away. I could feel tears waiting to fall down my cheeks.
No! I thought. Stay there! Don't let him see!
When Draco pulled away I opened my eyes and smiled slightly at him. The doors to the room opened and a Healer walked in.
"Well Master Draco," she said. "What happened here?" She was a different Healer from the one I had had when I had jumped into the lake and gotten hypothermia.
"She fell," Draco lied. "We were walking in the woods and she fell down a ravine. I wasn't able to grab her and stop her from falling." The Healer nodded and Draco walked out so that she could heal me. When she was done Draco came back in and thanked her.
"My father will see that you are paid," he said. She nodded and left. Draco looked at me for a long time. I looked back at him. I wanted to kill him! He opened his mouth.
"Don't you dare say it!" I snarled. "Don't say that you're sorry and that you won't do it again! Don't tell me that you love me! Just leave me alone!" I felt hot tears streak down my cheeks. Draco looked at me in complete shock.
"Schyler..." he began.
"No!" I screamed. "I'm sick of you! I'm sick of the way you treat me! Just leave me alone!" Draco clamped his mouth shut. His eyes were blazing with anger but he just turned and walked out. I rolled out of bed as soon as he was gone and went onto the balcony.
"Angelus," I called. "Come to me." My owl flew into the room. I went to the table, took out parchment, a quill, and ink and began to write to Cory, Harry, Ron, and Hermione. I told them that I needed to talk to them and to meet me tomorrow night in a field in the woods around the manor. I told them to go to the village on the other side of the woods and gave them directions to the field. I gave the letters to Angelus and he flew off. I shut the balcony doors, got dressed, and waited for Draco to come get me for dinner.
A/N: Sorry it's so short!
