Forbidden Love

Chapter 32

"Woah, Theo. Hey, what's going on, man?" He pulls the covers away from himself and meets me by the door. He takes the hand that's placed over my heart and squeezes it, sitting down next to me.

"Theo, what's going on? Talk to me." I try to form words but nothing but sobs escape my mouth.

I finally calm down after a few more seconds and fix my eyes on Blaise. 

"It's Eden, man. Now that Draco is back everything has changed. I can't stand the way she looks at him, and the way he looks at her. I just wish he had stayed away longer so I could have had more time..." He releases my hand and stares at me. "I'm in love with her, Blaise." 

"I knew this was coming, mate," he exhales.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean I knew this would happen once Draco came back. I knew that she would be your downfall." He stands up and reaches his hand out to pull me up.

"I just wish things were different. Once she accepted the dark mark and.." 

"She accepted the dark mark?! What the fuck Theo?!" He shouts, interrupting me.

"Last night actually, yeah." 

"You do realize that just because she went through with that, the Dark Lord won't just vanish. He will never completely leave her alone, Theo. I mean, given who her father was.." He adds.

My head starts pounding and I attempt to stand and walk over to my bed to lie down but I stumble with each step. "Theo!" I hear Blaise yell in attempt to get my attention before I fall to the floor.

Eden's POV:

I wake up the next morning to find Eleanor sound asleep in her bed. It's Sunday now, and my pocket watch reads 9:40 am. I pull the covers away from myself to find I'm still dressed in my clothes from yesterday. Although, my white shirt now has a few dirty spots on it. I pull off yesterday's outfit and throw the bundle into the basket in the corner. I pull out a dark maroon sweater and a pair of black ripped jeans from my closet, along with a black lingerie set and a new pair of socks from the drawer and throw them into my shower bag. I pull my bath robe and my slippers on and go downstairs to shower. 

I place my shower bag on the counter, remove my day old lingerie and dive into the hot water. I finish washing my hair and body to begin shaving my legs before I hear someone enter the bathroom shouting.

"Eden! Eden Haynes, are you in here?"

"Yes! Who's there?"

"It's Claire from Potions! I'll let you finish showering, but you must come quickly." 

"What's going on?!" I yell over the sound of the running shower.

"It's Theo. He's been rushed to the infirmary." Claire responds. 

My throat swells up and I feel like I'm going to be sick as I quickly finishing shaving. I wash away the shaving foam from my razor and my legs to quickly exit.

"Give me one second! I'm coming!" I tell Claire.

"I'll wait for you outside!" She responds as I hear the door creak close and I step out to grab my towel.

I rub the water off my body and begin getting dress. I pull on my black combat boots, brush my teeth, and pull my wet hair up into a high bun before exiting to meet Claire right outside the door.

"Can I run my bag back to my room before we go?" I ask her as a tear falls free from my eye.

"I'll take it for you. I'll tell Eleanor what happened and put them on your bed. Go now!" She says grabbing the bag from my arm and shewing me away.
