The One That Got Away

Steady

"You're amazing." Said Freya.
(Imagine this scene in any context u want but I'm only going to write the dialogue.)
"True." Said Tom smugly, pulling her into him
"I love you." She Said.
"I.." he said.
"You don't have to, I just thought you should know." She said, placing her forehead on his for a brief moment.
"You are the best person I've ever met." He said.
"How could you possibly know that if you haven't met everyone in the whole wide world."
"The thing is, love, I don't have to meet anyone else to know you are the best." He Said.
"That's generous." She Said.
"No, really, to the point where I want to take you away from this world and keep you with me forever." He said.
"Forever?" She Asked, as she shifted slightly uncomfortable
"Forever." He Said.
"I mean that's a while, what if I get sick of you?" She said playfully, clearly thinking he was joking.

"I just won't let you leave." He Said. She just laughed, too blinded by her emotions to see the truth behind his words.
"You know some day when we're all grown up we will have a big house." She Said.
"With ivy on the walls." He Said
"Yes, with a big garden." She Said.
"Why of course, anything for you."
"Why are you so nice to me?" She Asked.
"Because you are worth my time." He Said.
"More So than Abraxas?" She Asked.
"More So than anybody in the world, haven't we already covered this?" He said.
"It wouldn't hurt you to be a little nicer to him." She Said.
"Are you sure about that?" He asked.
"Why me, Tom?" She Asked, "Why am I the only person you seem to like?"
"Well, as you know I'm a person for fact. The second your hand touched mine, I knew you were meant to be mine." He said, allowing his possessiveness to seep into his words.
"Yours?" She Asked, looking mildly concerned.
"Mine." He Said, as his arms tightened around her and he drifted off.

Half way through August was the Quidditch Tournament. It was very unofficial, but fun none the less. Abraxas and Freya were running through some plays and Tom sat on the side lines, he didn't like to see Freya in such danger that he debated not coming at all. She was a chaser, she and Abraxas were a sort of dynamic duo of sorts. They almost seemed to be able to read each others minds. Tom was very possessive of Freya. He didn't like when anyone talked to her, not even her favourite cousin.
"We will Have victory!" Said Abraxas.
"Yeah right, it's our turn to win this year, Malfoy, you arrogant arse." Said Gregory Nott.
"Va te niquer!" Said Freya.
"Speak English." Said Nott.
"If you say so, go fuck yourself," She said Gregory approaches her and stood over her.
"What did you just say to me, little girl." He Said dangerously.
"I said to go fuck yourself, which according to my sources, you are very good at." She Said,
"Feisty witch." He Said
"Disgraceful toe rag." She said,he pulled his wand on her and she simply waved her hand and it flew into it. "Did you want this?" She Asked.
"Freya Morganna Taschereau, What are you doing!" Yelled her father. "I forbade you from dueling."
"I wasn't duelling, I was preventing a duel." She Said.
"I don't care, you know better than to provoke such actions. Every year you become more like your mother." Said her father disapprovinglyX
"She loved you." Said Freya.
"Well, I never loved her." Said her father.
"But you thought she was good enough to shag?" She Said.
"Your mother was not a good role model." He said.
"And you are?" She saidX
"No, but you ought to do what I say, Diamond, or you will never be happ."
"Why, when have you ever looked out for my happiness?" She Asked.
"Watch your tone young lady." He said. "Come inside." He grabbed her arm harshly. She was wearing a short sleeved shirt and Tom could see blood forming from where her fathers nails met her skin. She was inside.
Tom was angry to say the least. He quickly hexed Nott and stormed into the house.
"Why do you insist of defying my wishes." Said her father.
"What, because I refuse to marry for money?"
"Why do you dislike the idea of marriage so?"
"Maybe I'm afraid of repeating the marriage I grew up with. Maybe you have caused some serious damage that gave me serious abandonment issues, intimacy issues, and daddy issues." She said pointing her finger at her father.
"Everyone who I raise on a silver plater for you is head over heals in live with you."
"Well, maybe I'm not head over heals in love with them."
"All I want is for you to be happy."
"No, all you want is for me to be another mans problem." She hissed.
"You would be such a good wife." He Said. "They would love you forever. You are charming, clever, kind, and you are great with kids"
"So that's all you've ever seen me as. A wife and a mother, what if I don't want my legacy to be defined by a man?" She Said. She got up and left the room. She walked right past Tom and kept walking until she hit the beach. She walked straight into the ocean, removing her shoes and pants. leaving her in her shirt and slip. She sat down in the shallow cool waters and just stared at the open sea.
