AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hello everyone! This is my first ever fanfic, I have put a lot of love, feelings and emotions into this, I really hope it's worth the read, enjoy!
CHAPTER ONE:
It's like, you can physically feel your heart coming out of your throat, then being thrown back down to the pit of your stomach, weighing heavy on you.
How do you react, when you've spent two years of your life, loving someone who just takes your trust and crushes it when colliding with lips that aren't yours?
I feel empty. My mind is a mess, my heart is broken, and my soul is open. I spent so long, building a wall around my heart, to protect it for these exact reasons.
And the funny thing is, I was never interested in relationships, never took the time to be bothered about them. Sure, I found guys attractive, but I never ought to have thought about myself being in one. Until I met him.
They say opposites attract, and I can confirm that this statement is true. Scorpius stood out, had a high popularity stance, seeker for the Slytherin Quidditch team, 'chick magnet'. I, however, although seeker for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team, was a quiet soul. I had a couple of friends. Well actually one friend, the other was Albus. Kept to myself, and spent a lot of my time tucked away in the library. Scorpius and Albus were best friends, Albus and I, we're best friends, so I guess that crossing each other's paths would be inevitable. And when we did, the only association made with one another, was just merely a few casual 'hellos'.
I suppose really, it wasn't until the beginning of our fifth year when things started to change. Within the first couple of weeks of school, Albus and Scorpius started hanging out at the Ravenclaw table more during meal times, free times- okay well, more like any given opportunity. I guessed this being because Albus professed to me his 'newfound' feelings for my best friend, Gracie Wood towards the end of the summer holidays. My only response to him was about time. They only had been awkwardly ogling each other for the past three years and started engaging in somewhat kind of communication during the whole summer holidays, this being that Gracie pretty much stayed with me the whole time, rather than going to Australia with her parents. Even though Scorpius would stay with Albus, and we would meet up as a group all the time, Scorpius and I just didn't have the foundation of a proper friendship built. We rarely came into contact with one another, and even if we did, it wasn't even small talk. Just another hello.
So come back to the beginning of a new term, Albus was literally, up Gracie's ass. Which is so weird, because he's always been such a man whore with no strings attached, kinda the same persona as Scorpius. Which left me with no cousin, no best friend, and a stranger that I sometimes say hello to.
Thus, I already knew from the first week of term, that I would be spending a lot of my time, in the library or on the Quidditch pitch. By myself- I thought.
To be exact, Wednesday, the second week of term in a free period, was when it began. I had been sitting in the corner I always sat in, editing one of the many assignments I had been given, when suddenly-
'Is the seat next to you taken?' I look up to a tall, blonde, very blonde, figure.
