Truth
James's P.O.V
She sat in her room all of the time, not even coming down for food. I used to stand outside of her door at night, speaking to her in a vain attempt to make her answer me. All I got in return was silence, occasionally mixed with sobbing.
I felt so long since I had last seen her. The way her face used to grow dimples when I grinned at her. The way her nose used to twitch when she was day dreaming. Even the way she bit her bottom lip when she was nervous. The way she was just….well…..her.
Charlie kept telling me at every opportunity that I was being stupid and that she would never feel like that about me. He was probably right though if I stopped to think about it. Why though should I think about it, it was just a silly 'teenage crush' as my mum always said. I was happy this way, with my best friend, even if she was crying alone in her room.
Stupid Mr.Malfoy, I could understand why Dad had hated him so much when he was my age. But then I heard her sob behind her antique oak barrier, and my anger would fade. It was just a crush, just a silly teenage crush. Yeah right.
Serenity's P.O.V
I knew he was standing outside of my door listening to me silently. The amount of times I ran over to the door to let him in was almost as many as the amount of times I turned back around and scolded myself for being so stupid.
I just could not get over the feeling. The way all of these years Malfoy used to sneer at me from across the breakfast table. The way he would walk out of the room when it was Christmas or my birthday, and I saw mothers eyes glaze over with ice once again.
I sat on my bed, surrounded by tissues, and it all just made sense. All I could feel was so much loss, but I did not miss him. I suppose you could say I missed something I never even had in the first place.
I wanted so much to let James in. Tell him about the bruises which ran up my back like a trail from when he had pushed me over because I had spilt my juice. The black eye hidden under my war paint because I had looked him the eyes. I just wanted someone to know, to put there arm around me and listen to me like no one truthfully had before.
Realistically I knew what I really wanted was James. I missed him so much, but could not bring myself to open that god damn door. I wanted to see his grin again with the front teeth which protruded slightly. The way his hair stuck up no matter how much gel he buried it in. The way I could be crying, and he would smile at me, and the tears would seemingly fade until I was alone again. The way when I woke up all I saw was his face along with his dimples covered in manly stubble. The way he was, but hell he could never feel like that around me. I knew that deep down. It was just a stupid teenage crush, yeah right.
That was when I heard it, a soft knock at my door. I crept over towards it, but I stopped my hand from opening it.
'Who is it?'
'Well me of course.'
'Who the hell is me?'
'Well James of course. Now can you just open the door Seren I'm worried about you. I understand you are upset, but let me help you.
'James how the hell can you help me?'
'Well I have two shoulders which I hear are quite useful to cry on.'
I opened the door, and there he was along with that stupid grin.
'How the hell did you get up those stairs?'
'Oh yeah like you never walked up a slide when you were little.'
He walked into my room and sat down onto my bed, and it was just like normal all over again. Just how I wanted it to be.
'So I was thinking Seren, do you want me to castrate him with a dull spoon or perhaps a stone?'
'Castrate what?' I asked with a grin.
'Oh good point my friend.'
He laughed his gorgeous laugh, and we just sat there talking like always. That was when I realised that I was in love with him. Stupid hormones.
