Lies
(Draco's POV)
I walked out of the room and didn't know what to do, all I could think of was how crushed Y/N was going to be. I decided I couldn't tell her yet so I walked back to the Great Hall.
When I entered, there were barely any people left, but I noticed Blaise, Crabbe, and Miles were still sitting at the Slytherin table so I went to go join them.
"Hey, Draco." Miles said, but I didn't answer, I wasn't listening to him. I just sat down next to him without saying a thing.
"Are you okay?" He asked, looking over at me again.
"No." Was all I could respond with.
"What happened?" Blaise asked, cutting off his own conversation with Crabbe.
"Pearson."
"Y/N's boyfriend?" Miles questioned, "Don't tell me you guys got in another fight-"
"He cheated on Y/N." I responded, lowly. I couldn't believe the words that came out of my mouth. The fact that Thomas was lucky enough to even be dating Y/N and he ruins it all by cheating on her.
"Oh, shit." They both said in unison.
"He said that if I told her, then he'd tell her I have feelings for her." I muttered, staring at the plate of food I was going to bring her.
"Wait, do you have feelings for her?" Miles asked.
"Do I have feelings for her? I don't know," I exclaimed, "Well, yeah, I think about her often. Plus, I love being around her. I mean, she has this beautiful face, sometimes I can't stop staring at her. And her hair...she has the smoothest hair I'v-"
"Damn, you're in love with her." Blaise laughed.
"What? I'm not in love with her." I denied, getting up from the table.
"You do have feelings for her, that's for sure." Miles chimed, as I started walking away.
I made it out of the Great Hall, when Amelia and Leo entered.
"Amelia, can I talk to you?" I stopped her.
"Um, yeah, sure." She said, leaving Leo and walking out to the hall with me.
"Listen, I need to tell you something. But, you can't tell Y/N. You have to promise." I warned her.
"I don't know, it depends on what it is." She replied, giving me a weird look.
"Thomas cheated on her." I muttered.
"What!" She yelled, as I covered her mouth.
"I know, but you can't tell her." I urged, shaking my head.
"And why not?" She questioned, furrowing her eyebrows.
"Thomas threatened to tell her that I have feelings for her." I said.
"Well, what are you gonna do? She has to know."
"I don't know...Wait, why aren't you surprised that I have feelings for her?"
"Oh, it's so obvious. I'm surprised she doesn't know." Amelia exaggerated.
"Really? Anyways, what should I do?" I pleaded, hoping she would help me.
"Do you want her to know that you like her?" Amelia looked at me, "Just think about it before you tell her. But, if you don't tell her then I will because this is big news."
"What is?" Y/N asked from behind us.
"Um.." Amelia shook her head trying to think of an excuse, "Draco likes someone!"
"What! Who?" She gasped, as I widened my eyes.
"Oh, it's no one. Just some girl from Slytherin." Amelia responded.
"Hm..wait, is it Pansy?" She exclaimed, raising her eyebrows.
"Um, sure." Amelia said, folding her arms.
"Wait, what are you doing here? I was going to bring you food." I told her, trying to change the subject.
"Oh, you were taking too long so I just decided to get it myself." Y/N shrugged.
"Well, since you're here now why don't we eat here." I suggested.
"Sure, why not."
All three of us then turned back around and headed into the Great Hall. We decided to go sit back down with Blaise and Miles at the Slytherin table.
"Hey guys." Y/N said, as we took a seat in front of them.
"Hey, Y/N." Miles responded, wearily.
"Did you guys hear? Draco likes Pansy." She told them, enthusiastically.
"Oh, he does?" Miles asked, looking at me confused as I shook my head at him.
"So, when are you going to tell her? Does she like you back?" Y/N questioned.
"Uh- I don't know." I told her, hoping she'd drop the topic.
Suddenly she gasped loudly, "You should ask her to the Yule Ball!"
"Okay, you know what. I can't do this, I can't." I stated, shaking my head.
"It's okay, I can help you ask her." She encouraged.
"No, Y/N. I need to tell you something." I said, staring at her eyes.
"What is it?" She asked, tilting her head.
"Okay, when I was on my way to the common room with your food, I heard a noise coming from the transfiguration room," I spoke, as she listened contently, "So, I went to go see what it was. But, when I opened the door I found Thomas and Ivy making out." I said, looking at her sympathetically.
"Oh." Was all she said, as she looked down at the table trying to process the information.
"I'm so sorry, Y/N." Amelia said, wrapping her arms around her.
"Um," I had noticed her eyes get watery as she struggled to speak, "I've gotta go." She immediately got up and ran out of the doors.
"I feel so bad for her." Amelia sighed.
"I know."
(Y/N's POV)
Right as I exited the Great Hall, I started running, I didn't know where I was going but I just kept running. I eventually made it outside to the Black Lake and collapsed. My eyes were filled with tears and I broke down crying.
How could Thomas do this to me? Did I do something to make him lose interest in me? And Ivy out of all people? This was my first real relationship and I get cheated on? I hate him.
I was sitting right next to the black lake and I had no plans of leaving any time soon. The water was the only thing that could be heard, as I continued sobbing quietly hoping there was no one near that could hear me.
I had been sitting there for what felt like hours until someone came up and sat next to me.
"Hey, babe, what are you doing here?"
"Thomas?" I yelled, starting to get up.
"Yeah?" He asked.
"How could you!" I shouted at him, anger coursing through my veins.
"What?" He questioned, with a confused look on his face.
"You and Ivy?" I muttered, as my voice cracked.
"Y/N...I-" He grabbed my hand as I pulled it away. I was so mad at him that I pushed him back.
"Please, let me explain." He begged, as he got up.
"Explain what? How you stuck your tongue down each others throats?" I spat, hitting him on his chest.
"It was a mistake," He admitted, grabbing my waist and pulling me in," please, I love you, Y/N."
"Get your fucking hands off me!" I yelled, pushing him away.
"Y/N, what's going on?" Draco asked, walking out of the castle.
"Thomas is being pathetic." I replied.
"You told her didn't you, Malfoy?" Thomas yelled at him, furiously.
"Of course I did, she's my best friend." Draco responded, walking up next to me.
"Best friend?" Thomas laughed," We all know why you told her, Malfoy."
"I suggest you leave before I beat the shit out of you." Draco threatened him.
"Weren't you the one in the hospital?" Thomas rolled his eyes.
"Pearson I swear, if you don't-" Draco said.
"This is none of your business, Malfoy." Thomas interrupted.
"Thomas, I don't want to talk you. Just leave." I told him, looking at him angrily.
"Fine, but Y/N please know, I'm sorry." Thomas pleaded before walking away.
"How pathetic." Draco muttered.
"Are you okay?" He asked as we both sat down on the grass.
"No." I replied, sadly.
"I'm sorry. You deserve better than that asshole." He said, wrapping his arm around me.
"Thanks, Draco." I responded, laying my head on his shoulder.
"One day, you're gonna be with someone who actually appreciates you."
"When?" I sighed.
"In the near future." He joked, waving his hands in my face.
"Shut up." I laughed at him, turning my head to the Black Lake.
"Wow, the sunset is beautiful." I stated, looking out towards the sky.
"I know." He said, gazing at me.
We stayed like that for the rest of the night, watching the sun set over the Black Lake.
