Pirate Blood
Chapter 39
The Most Idiotic Thing to Fight About
Kaylee and Hermione were in the library later that day. Kaylee explained her fight with Draco. "Kaylee, that's the most idiotic thing to fight about." Hermione said.
"It is not. He doesn't believe what's right in front of his face!" Kaylee said.
"You don't know that. I'm not saying that it isn't true. It could happen, but then again, it might not." Hermione said calmly.
"You don't understand."
"Yes, I do. I get the plan, and I know why you believe it. Maybe it's true, maybe it's not."
"Fine."
"Kaylee, so help me God, you better not push him away."
"What?" Kaylee asked confusedly.
"You're pushing him away."
"I wouldn't do that."
"You would and you are. You are just like your brother. Honestly, you both have so many issues with letting people get close."
"I married him. You can't get much closer than that."
"You've only been together as a married couple for about a week."
"We were dating for two years before we got married."
"Dating and being married an completely different Kaylee." Hermione said with a hint of frustration in her voice.
"I know that."
"Really? You know that you can't break up every time you get into a fight?" Hermione said this with a bit more frustration coming into her voice. She didn't want Draco and Kaylee breaking up.
"Yes, Hermione, I'm aware of this. You know, I would've thought that you'd be calmer after having sex." Hermione's face went a deep red. "Anyway, I'm just stressed and stuff from all this training, and the Order, and everything else. It's putting me on edge, that's all."
"You sure?" Hermione said, much more calm than she'd been a few seconds ago.
"Yeah, I'm gonna go apologize to him." Kaylee sighed.
"Good."
Kaylee knock on Draco's door. "Hey." she said.
"Hey," Draco replied, "Come in. Jesse isn't here."
Kaylee walked in, and Draco shut the door. "I just wanted to say sorry. I guess I overreacted a bit."
"Come here, Kay." Draco hugged her. "If she is alive, we'll find her."
"Promise?" Kaylee asked.
"I promise." he kissed her forehead, "I promise."
Later that night, the girls were in their room talking. "So Ginny, what's up with you and Harry?" Kaylee asked.
"Nothing. He's become more like a brother than anything else. No one believes me though."
"Yeah, that happens. I remember when I dated Blaise." Hermione said.
"Zabini?" Ginny asked.
"When did this happen?" Kaylee asked.
"Yes, Zabini. Kaylee, you were in France with your grandfather for three weeks. He was broken up with Isabel, and I wasn't with Jesse. We decided to date, but it just got to weird. He realized that he got protective of me around other guys because I'm like his little sister, not because he has romantic feelings for me."
"I can't believe I missed that." Kaylee said shocked.
"I told you that a lot happened."
"Yeah, well be more detailed next time." Kaylee said, "Does Jesse know. Yeah, it wouldn't matter anyway. He was probably with a different French girl every night."
"I thought that Jesse was only interested in you." Ginny said.
"Well, now he is. Back then Jesse was...he was just a lot different. He liked his drugs, drinks, and girls."
"I never would have thought. What happened to make him stop?" Ginny asked curiously.
"He went to L.A. He was in and out of rehab for a few years. Then he went to look for Kaylee." Hermione said.
"You're completely leaving out the part where he only stays sober for you." Kaylee said.
"Yeah, well there's that too." Hermione blushed a little.
"I would love it if a guy did something that romantic for me." Ginny smiled.
"Harry seems into you." Hermione said, wanting to change the subject.
"He's like my brother. There's nothing there anymore." Ginny explained, "I just hope he picks up on it before he makes an ass out of himself."
The girls continued to talk and later went to bed.
(A/N: No excuses for the late update. I just plain forgot. Considering there were only two hits to the last chapter, I don't think it matters. Is anyone even reading this story? PLEASE REVIEW! L8R Nikki)
