Allie's POV
I couldn't believe it. Elysia and Jake broke up? It was madness. They were practically meant for each other. I wished she would tell me why. But typical Elysia isn't going to say anything. I started thinking about Draco again. What if we broke up? I couldn't stand to dwell on it. I couldn't sleep. I didn't want Elysia to stay up again. I didn't want my nightmares to return.
"Elysia, go to sleep I'll take first watch."
"I already told you, no." she stated.
"Elysia, you need it most." I said. I wasn't going to let her do this to herself. Our eyes locked. We held a stare off. She finally gave up.
"Fine," she sighed. She laid down and was deep asleep almost instantly.
I looked at over at Jake. He was sitting on his mattress. His his head buried in his hands. He moaned.
"Allie, what have I done?"
Jake's voice was full of regret and pain. His breaths were shaky.
"I believe I can't answer that." I replied.
He moaned again.
"I can't- I can't- oh Gods help me."
I sat down beside him. If I have learned anything from my life it's that friends help each other. No matter what.
"Are you okay?" I asked. My voice soft with sympathy.
"No, I'm not okay. I'm so far from being okay!" He cried "I can't take it. Yeah, Elysia's stubborn, annoying, and a pain. But that's what made me fall for her, and now- now I'm never getting her back."
His hands were trembling. I put my hand on his shoulder sympathetically. He looked at me. His eyes were glassy with tears.
"Allie, promise me you won't tell Elysia about this." He pleaded
"I promise." I replied.
Jake suddenly grabbed me like he never wanted to let go. I gasped. He did something I least expected. He full on kissed me. I panicked. He pulled me closer, and kissed me harder. He kissed me like the world was going to end. I could feel his heart forcefully pounding within his chest. He suddenly jerked back, his eyes wide with terror.
"What am I doing?" He gasped. I was in shock. I couldn't reply.
"Allie, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean for that to happen! I don't know why I did that! Please forgive me!" His voice was filled with horror.
"I- I- I forgive you." I managed to tell him. Jake laid down. Staring at the sky.
"Allie, what's happening to me?"
He wanted her so bad. It pained me to watch him suffer like this. I suddenly realized why he kissed me. He thought it would relieve him of the pain. The pain of losing the girl he patiently, painfully, gut-wrenchingly loved.
PAGE BREAK
I was standing with Draco on top of Half-Blood Hill. He held my hands and moved closer. I was happy to have him.
My eyes went to the knife he had in his pocket. "I will never love another girl." he said. "I know you won't." I replied. I grabbed the knife, lifted it, and stabbed him straight in the heart. Blood poured from the wound. He looked shocked. His blood was everywhere. He suddenly fell to the ground, lifeless
I woke up screaming. Elysia was standing next to me, worried.
"Allie, are you alright?" She asked.
A wave of nausea hit me. I laid down and breathed heavily. Trying hard not to throw up. When the nausea finally passed. I nodded. I got up holding on to Elysia's shoulder for support. I felt light headed. Finally I could walk without nearly passing out. We packed our stuff and headed on our way. I looked over my shoulder and stared at Jake. I remembered what happened last night. I shuddered. I noticed he was painfully eyeing Elysia. Go figure.
"Allie, what happened?" Elysia asked. I froze. Did she see what happened last night? This was not good.
"Huh?" I replied.
"What were you dreaming about?" Relief washed over me. Then the memory of the dream hit me. I felt sick.
"It's not that important." I didn't know if I could tell her about it.
"What was it about?" She demanded the answer.
"I hurt..." I trailed off.
"Hurt what?"
I stared at the ground. My hands were shaking.
"I killed him!" I screamed. Tears blurred my vision.
"Killed who?" Elysia yelled.
"It was all my fault!" I cried. I laid against a tree. I shook. Elysia was next to me. Her hand was on my shoulder.
"Allie-" she started.
"Stop it!" I pushed her away.
"Just stop it!" Fiery rage boiled inside me.
"Allie calm down." Elysia pleaded. I couldn't calm down. I mean how could I? I didn't want to talk about it. Why couldn't she get that?
"Just stay away from me!" I yelled at her. I immediately felt guilt.
"Please." I added, as Elysia backed away very slowly.
Elysia and Jake walked away. I stood there. Trying to control my emotions. I finally calmed down and walked over to Elysia and Jake.
"Let's go," I said sternly. Everyone seemed to agree.
