Chapter 5: Never Feel the Same.

"Sorry I am late guys. Lils was taken forever in the bathroom." Al told us as he step out of the flames. As he walked more into my kitchen I saw Jordie take some steps back behind me as if to hide from him. I found this quiet humorous, she was always so sure of herself. It was a tale-tell of the amount she cared about Al.

"Hey, Al." I stepped forward and gave my cousin a hug. I wanted to let him know that I was behind him. He was my cousin after all.

"Hey Mate." said Scorpius. He gave Al a slight wave, clearly he had not totally forgiven Al.

"Rose. Scorp." He blatantly ignored Jordie, even averting his eyes when he passed over Jords. "So let's get this shindig started!" He rubbed his hands together making his way to our living room.

"I guess, I better go talk to him." Jordie said sheepishly.

"You think?" Scorpius said in sarcastic tone. Jordie bounced into the living trying to act as if everything was normal. It was the Malfoy way to mask emotions and although Jordie was not Malfoy she seemed to pick up a thing or two from her cousin.

Whatever she said didn't work soon after Scorpius and I heard yelling from the two of them. Scorpius went to intervene, but I stopped him. "They need to work this out on their own. He needs to know and get his feelings out. Jordie needs to hear it. This is fucking insane. Someone needs to get it through her head. Maybe Al can be that person."

"Maybe, but probably not. Jordie is going to need to fall and fall hard. As fucking insane as it sounds I think she needs to go through this. Maybe this will be what it takes to get the two of them together, finally."

There was a thick awkwardness as we both sat on the stools in my kitchen letting their voices carry to our ears. I was so confused and really just didn't know what to think everything going on between Al and Jordie, Jordie and Jake...and Eric. It was all so confusing. I had a horrible headache just trying to wrap my head all around it. I need an Advil.

It was a while before Scorpius spoke. "So this is where you live?" He seemed to be trying to start some small talk with me to take away from awkwardness we both had to be feeling. It quickly hit me that I was alone with Scorpius. Holy fuck, shit balls, I am alone with him. He is sitting in my kitchen being all hot and shit. His beautiful body just being their in my kitchen. I shiver. Honestly, it is all I can do not to jump his bones right, here, right now. MERLIN HELP ME! He is so tall, standing at well six foot, compared to my 5'4 self, I can tell even though we are sitting. I see his face of Adonis with gray eyes, flecks of silver shimmering in the light. His platinum hair so soft I just want to touch. I want to paw at him and take him right here, right now in my kitchen. "Rose, Rose, ROSE!" He shook me sightly.

"Huh. What? I am sorry..." I came back to reality. Cold, harsh, reality. A reality where I was not bouncing up and down on his...SNAP OUT OF ROSE. "I...I spaced out." His hands never left my shoulder from when he shook me, in fact now they gripped harder as he stared in my eyes. I felt I could see in the very depths of his soul.

"Don't be sorry." His eyes got more intense. His face leaned in closer to me as he licked his lips. Merlin was he going to kiss me? He gave his lips a slight pucker. Dear Lord, he is going to kiss. He is going to kiss me with those soft, plump, pink lips. MERLIN! MERLIN! MERLIN! My panties need changing just thinking about kissing him. Merlin. My goodness, I say Merlin a lot. My face was flushing, I could feel my blood rising. I knew by now I was most likely red as a tomato. He was going to kiss me. God. I am fucking nervous. Does my breath smell alright? How does he like to be kissed. Millions of thoughts ran through my head in the short seconds before his lips were about to meet mine.

I licked my lips in preparation, I took in a small breath and then it happen. "FUCK YOU ALBUS SEVERUS POTTER! YOU ARE THE MOST INSUFFERABLE PERSON I HAVE EVER MET! THR MOST CLOSED MINDED SON OF A BITCH IN THE WORLD!" Jordie's voice boomed into the kitchen causing Scorpius and I to snap of way from each other like lightning struck between us. Fucking Jordie for ruining my moment with Scorpius. The only moment I have ever had with him. She ruined my fucking kiss with Scorpius. Why in the fucking name of Merlin did she have to ruin it? Not that she knew she had ruined it but she did all he all same. All I have ever wanted since fourth year when Scorpius came back looking all sexy and shit was too kiss him. Sure, now my needs have grown and I would like nothing more than to make sweet, sweet, love to him. But that's beside the point. I was furious.

"We best go check on them." Scorpius decided. I nodded trying not to show my distres and we headed into my living room.

I don't know what we were expecting when we walked in but what ever it was it was not what we saw. Al was tied on to my dad's favorite chair with gag in mouth while Jordie stood over him with her wand pointed at him. Scorpius and I acted fast his taking Jordie while I tended to Al.

"How can you allow this Scorp?" Al spoke eerily calm when I removed the gag. "How can you let this crazy-ass bitch do this. It's unhealthy, it's unnatural.

"And it's closed-minded dickheads like you that make it so hard for us that are different. This is the reason Gay's can't get married, polygamy is frown upon, and this whole country Muggle or Magic is so utterly fucked up." Jordie was clearly fuming as was Scorpius. He looked so hot all angery! Wait, Focus, Rose. No time for this. Al and Jordie, Al and Jordie.

"Scorp, she is your cousin. Fix this!" Al demanded.

"I can't do anything about this." He sneered at Al. "Don't you think if I could, I would have?"Al looked rather shocked by Scorpius harsh demeanor. Usually Scorpius was perfectly composed He was a Malfoy after all. "Jordie, is her own damn person and going to do things her way-"

"Thank you, Scorp." Jordie cut in.

"No matter how sick and disgusting she is being." Scorpius finished.

"Just because it is different-"

It was my turn to interrupt her. "It's more than being different. If you can't see that, if you can't 'feel' that. Then I will not point it out. In time you will figure it out on your own. Let's just hope when it does happen, it's not to late."

"And she doesn't have a fucking STD!" Al exclaimed. Jordie narrowed her eyes at him. "You are only going to learn after you fall flat on your fucking face. And when you do, I hope you fucking break you nose on that fucking perfect face of yours." Al replied venomously.

"Al, stop." I pleaded with him. Sure, I was not happy with Jordie's decision but Al was being way harsh on her.

Scorpius looked distressed. Awe, he really is adorable. "Look, we can't change her mind. She has made it up and its her mind to make."

"You can Scorp." Al was pleading with him, hurt written all over his face. His tone had calmed and it was clear that he was just torn up inside.

"I really can't Al. I wish I could, but you have to see that I can't." Scorpius looked as if he were about to break down as well. Boys can be so dramatic. "Jordie, can you release Al? I don't think he going to attack you now.

She looked over at Al who was pleading in eyes bright green eyes. Satisfied, she lifted the spell. Quickly the tight black ropes released Al. Red marks were covering his body where the ropes had restrained too tight.

"Now is the time that we have to decide. Are we going to stand by Jordie or are we going to leave her. When all this comes crashing down, and I am afraid it's going to are we you Al going to be there to help her or are you willing to end this friendship?" Scorpius was very serious and spoke directly from the heart.

Al turned away from Scorpius and over to Jordie, "I don't agree with what you are doing in the slightest. To me what you are doing makes you every name I have called and few more choice ones but Scorp and Roes are right. I can't make you see reason. No one can. But that is no reason to end the friendship of what we had. Yes, had. Because, this has and will continue to change our relationship and we will never again have what we once had. What I once treasured. Not even if you see reason right this second. Never Feel the same."

"Al, there is no reason for me to see." Jordie held on Stubbornly.

"Let's just drop this for now. Too much, too much for one day." He walked over and placed his arms around Jordie. She held on to him, her eyes closed tight and tears ruining her perfectly placed mascara.

"So project any one?"

A/N: Okay so this chapter is completely new material and everything that changed. I decided to shorten the chapter yet again. To me 9 pages still seemed like way to long for an update. Things are running along smoothly so hopefully I am able to to keep up with constant updating. Fingers crossed. Please Review. It means a ton! Love Ya.~

PS: The title of this chapter is from the song NEVER FEEL THE SAME by CHOAD EFFECT. Have a listen!
