Twilight/Harry Potter Crossover
Edward's angel face turned dark and meaning. "I will not leave without you Bella. I will fight to get you back. "
Chapter 6
Bella stared at him.
"He's coming back… I will see you soon." He kissed her forehead, and left, he was gone in a heartbeat, moving faster than Bella's eyes could keep up with. Draco walked back into the room, taking in the startled expression on Bella's face. He dropped the things he was carrying in his arms on the bed, and went to her.
"Bella... Are you okay?" he spoke gently, his hand rubbing her shoulder soothingly.
She looked at him, forcing a smile on her face. "I'm fine… What did you bring?' She looked to the bed.
"Well..I thought since it's raining…" Bella looked at the window, and frowned, she hadn't noticed the weather. "I thought we could have a picnic… In here." Draco smiled, whilst Bella looked at him.
"Picnic… In here?" Draco nodded. "If you don't want too… Then we could do something else…"
"Oh…No…I want to." Bella grinned at him, walking over to the bed and looking at the food products he'd bought. There was a French loaf, sliced meat, tomatoes, and some fruit. She picked up an apple, her mind travelling back to Edward and herself in the cafeteria at Forks High School. She sighed, it seemed so far away now, another life. She bit her lip, putting the apple back down. Draco watched her with curiosity filling his eyes, almost to a point that it overflowed his face, but he didn't say a word.
He knew she was going through a break up with someone she clearly cared a lot about. He understood. He himself was going through a traumatic break up. He had loved her, and she broke his heart, the curiosity in his eyes was replaced by heart felt tears. He made himself think of her name, Astoria. He had been in love with her for years; ever since she started Hogwarts, all those years ago. He had known her sister Daphne, who had been in his year. Astoria had cheated on him, and he'd found out. He had been emotionally crushed. He looked at Bella, who was staring at the wall, the apple in her hand once more, this girl was his escape. She could make him feel better, make him feel whole again. That's what he wanted… What he needed. She didn't need to know his true reasons for letting her so close to him. As long as she was happy, living in her little perfect world, with him at her side, she didn't need to know.
As he watched, Bells slowly brought the apple to her lips, still in her own world, and absentmindedly bit down on it. He smiled as he looked at her. Yes, she was perfect. Bella turned to look at him.
"I…I can't do this. I can't be this person that you think I am… I…I…Want you to leave… Please."
Draco blinked in shock. Was she really saying this? Did she really mean it? One look at her face told him she did. He nodded slowly.
"If that's what you want."
"It is."
Draco walked to the door; he pulled it open, and turned around to take one more look at the girl he was willing to use.
"Bye Bella." He walked out the door, his head held high, but his nerves in tatters.
As soon as Draco had left, Edward bounded through the door, picking Bella up, and kissing her.
"I knew you'd choose me." He smiled Bella's favourite crooked smile. She looked up at him, her face emotionless.
"I didn't choose you. I don't want either of you. I want you, Edward, to get out and leave me alone." Her calm tone shocked not only Edward, but herself. How was she handling this so calmly? She was sending her first love away, and turning her back on the person who could make her better.
In her daydream, Bella had come to the conclusion, that she needed neither of them. She could handle everything by herself. And if she did ever want someone, as a lover, a friend, someone she could trust, it certainly wouldn't be a vampire, or a wizard. She had fallen twice for their perfect appearances, and not the true person they really were.
Edward was competitive, and arrogant. He didn't like people having what he didn't...And Bella could no longer cope with that. She'd left Forks to get away from him, and the memories of him, but he'd followed her...She couldn't live a normal life, because Edward would be following after her.
Draco...Well, he was dark...dangerous. She'd seen how he reacted to Edward...What if she did something he disliked? Would he turn on her? She didn't know, and she certainly wasn't sticking around to find out.
Edward stood speechless, and promptly stormed out the room, muttering under his breath. Bella sighed deeply, she was alone... Finally. She could breath. Be herself. And she'd never felt better.
The End
