Disclaimer: If any of you think that I'm JK Rowling, you should probably go to St. Mungo's and get your head checked out. I don't own Rent, either. The song seemed appropriate.
This time I didn't want to speak to him. Had I honestly been stupid enough to think that I could actually be in love with that… idiot?
These were the thoughts running through my head when he finally found me crying.
"Merlin, Rose, I'm so sorry!" he said. It was a feeble attempt of him trying to apologize for what had just happened. "You were never supposed to see that."
The tears stopped. I glared at him. I was crying over this boy? Not possible.
"Hey, you hurt me first," he said. So he was going to play that game with me?
"That is so not the same as not telling you what had happened!" I exclaimed, standing up. "I didn't tell you because I didn't want our friendship to be hurt. You just went off snogging some random girl. Don't even try to say that this is similar in any way." I began to walk away from him.
"Rose, please listen to me!" he said, grabbing onto my left hand.
"Let me go, Scorpius," I said to him. "I have nothing more to say to you."
"But I have something to say to you," he said. He leaned in as if to kiss me.
I immediately took out my wand and pointed it at him. He dropped my hand. "Don't you dare try," I said. "I'm not just some girl who you can just mess around with." I turned around and began to walk away.
"Rose-"
"Get out of my sight, Malfoy," I said my voice full of acid.
MIMI
Without you,
the ground thaws, the rain falls, the grass grows.
Without you,
the seeds root, the flowers bloom, the children play.
The stars
gleam, the poets dream, the eagles fly, without you.
The earth
turns, the sun burns, but I die, without you.
Without you, the
stars roar the breeze warms, the girl smiles, the cloud
moves.
Without you, the tides change, the boys run, the oceans
crash.
The crowds roar, the days soar, the babies cry, without
you.
The moon glows, the river flows, but I die, without
you.
ROGER
The world revives—
MIMI
Colors
renew—
BOTH
But I know blue, only blue, lonely blue,
within me blue.
MIMI
Without you.
Without you, the hand
gropes, the ear hears, the pulse beats.
ROGER
Without you,
the eyes gaze, the legs walk, the lungs breathe.
ROGER
The
mind churns!
MIMI
The mind churns!
ROGER
The
heart yearns!
MIMI
The heart yearns!
BOTH
The
tears dry, without you.
Life goes on, but I'm gone.
Cause I
die, without you.
MIMI
Without you.
ROGER
Without
you.
BOTH
Without you.
A day turned into a week. Weeks turned into one month, and we still didn't talk to each other. Actually, he tried to talk to me, but I always turned him away. What reason would there be if it only made things worse?
He wasn't avoiding me anymore. It was now him who was sorry. I couldn't care less about him anymore. I convinced myself that any feeling I thought I had were completely false. My head was the only logical thing I should follow. Why follow your heart when it would only make things worse.
My friends noticed my dour attitude as well. Every time they asked, I would say it was the workload this year, I was tired, and I was stressed about the NEWTs. They learned not to ask.
