The Choice ꨄ

13|Same old pain ☕︎︎

I felt my back against his closed door. He was very close to my face. I didn't move at all, neither did he.

"I'm sorry I yelled at you." He whispered.

"It's okay, I get it." I whispered back.

"Uh, I'll see you at dinner." I said as I opened the door to leave.

When I got back I collapsed on my bed. So I could forgive Cedric, or I could leave it the way things are.

I knew had to make an important decision.

Dinner came around. I sat down next to Draco.

There was whispering all around the Great Hall.
"What going on?" I asked Pansy.

"Cedric and Cho broke up." She said grinning.

Woah, wasn't expecting that.

I looked at Draco and he had no facial expression.

I watched as Cedric walked out of the Great Hall.
Draco left right after.

"Wait-," I said as I grabbed his had.

"What are you doing?"

"I'll be right back. There's something I have to take care of." He said as he left.

D͟R͟A͟C͟O͟'S͟ P͟O͟V͟:
I walked out of the Great Hall and caught up to Cedric.

"Hey!" I yelled.

I pinned him against the wall.

It wasn't a smart idea being that he was taller, older, and probably stronger then me.

"Stay away from Y/n."

"That's not your concern." He said looking down at me.

"It's my concern when my best friend is crying because of you.

I don't like seeing her like this. Hurt her again, see what happens." I looked him dead in the eye.

"I didn't mean to hurt her I swear. I care about her a lot. I was just nervous to ask her so I went with Cho."

"Don't hurt her again." I repeated as I walked back to dinner.

Y͟/͟N͟ P͟O͟V͟:
Draco was gone for a few minutes. When he came back he had a grin on his face.

"Why you smiling like that?" I asked.

"Nothing." He said as he sat down.

When dinner ended we headed back to the common room.

   We stayed up a little longer with Pansy, Blaise and Adrian.

I went back to my room and fell asleep wondering what Draco did.

M͟O͟R͟N͟I͟N͟G͟ T͟I͟M͟E͟:
I woke up and got ready for school. We had a free period so I headed to the library. I was looking through books when I saw Cedric.

"Hey." I said.

"Oh, hi." He said smiling. He still had that guilty look on his face, but this time it looked worse.
"What's wrong?" I asked him.

"Nothing, I'm fine."

"I- okay." He grabbed a book and sat down. I followed and sat across from him.

"So," I said awkwardly.

He was looking down at his book not really paying attention. I sighed.

  He looked up and me and said, "Listen, I don't want Draco seeing us together. I'd rather not have him after me."

"What are you talking about?" I said as I laughed.

"He said to basically not go near you."

My smile went to a straight face real quick.

I saw Draco looking at books in the back.

"If you'll excuse me." I said as I got up and stormed to the back.

"Hey." He said grinning.

I pushed him against the wall.

"Did you tell Cedric to stay away from me?"

He looked down.

"Well, I might have said something like that."

"Why would you do that?" I said as I let go of him.
"I was trying to protect you-

"I don't need your protection. And you can't tell me who and who I cannot hangout with Malfoy."

I saw the smile slowly fade from his face. He looked hurt.

I felt bad but instead of apologizing I walked away. I got back to the table and grabbed the book I was reading.

"I have to go I'll see you later." I told Cedric.

I left the library and ran into an empty hallway.

Why did I do that?

   I know Draco was just trying to protect me. He was just being a good friend.
