things happen and people
change. Part 2!

✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦

Two months. Two whole months.

I haven't spoken to Enz- Lorenzo and definitely wasn't planning to. No doubt about that.

To say that I felt humiliated and disrespected was an understatement. And you know what, I felt betrayed.

No, I'm not overreacting.

I hadn't spoken - nor did I want to - to any of Lorenzo's friends either. I felt them staring me down whenever I walked past them in the halls, but I didn't even look their way.

I didn't even consider Lorenzo someone that I knew anymore. Because who was the boy that was laughing at me being made fun of and sexualised?

The hardest part was probably calling ny mum everyday and her asking how Lorenzo was and how he's doing.

I kind of avoided the question, giving s basic answer. I hate lying to her and it just made me feel even worse.

Worse than I already felt because... yeah it was bad.

I... I guess I wasn't as upset like how I was when it happened, but the scene left a wound.

I had just realized that my feelings for Lorenzo weren't just friendly and then he just goes and ruins everything.

I knew that something like this would happen. And I will stand by the fact that it is soley because of those 'friends' of his.

But anyway, currently me and Pansy were at Hogsmede - Brews and Stews cafe to be exact.

Being with Pansy really did get my mind of things. She wasn't one of those people that just talk about boys, so it was refreshing.

"Literally! I thought it was..." Pansy's words trail off and she startes behind me.

She quickly regroups but I've already looked back.

And locked eyes with Lorenzo. My stomach drops in the worst way possible. A lump forms in my throat.

"Y/n." Pansy says and I look back at her.

Cliché

I hadn't even looked at Lorenzo since it happened because everyone knows that eye contact holds unspoken words.

But worse. They eye contact we held cleared up nothing. He wasn't remorseful for throwing our friendship down the drain.

"You wanna leave?" Pansy asks and I contemplate for a little.

"No, that's okay." I say, my mind confused.

That's a good word to describe it. Confused. Confused on how he had changed so fast and how different everything was.

"You sure?" Pansy presses and I decide to change my mind. Just knowing that I was in the same space as Lorenzo was discomforting.

We both got up, grabbing our things and paying for our food.

I could feel Lorenzo looking at me. Staring. I didn't look back as me and Pansy left.

I let out a relieved breath.

"Gosh, he's such a dick." Pansy mumbles, but I hear it.

He's not a dick, he just...

Yes, he is. Why would he do that to you? Does it look like he cares? Stop caring about him. He couldn't give a shit less about you.

I snapped out of my thoughts and coming back to the harsh reality that they were probably true.

-

I sat down at my desk after a long day. I had two exams and now have homework to do.

I was fighting the sleep as my head literally bobbed while I got my pencil case out.

I decided on changing scenery, to help keep me awake while I wrote my essay.
It was a potions one to make it worse.

I sat by the common room by my chair. Our chair.

It was a chair big enough to fit two people in the corner of the living room. It wasn't very tall though, just wide.

Me and Enz- Lorenzo always came here to study and we both sat in it, huddled together as we studied.

There was a few people around, curfew was in about an hour and a half so most people were at their dorm.

The smell of a masculine perfume filled the space and my stomach did gymnastics. The perfume was a familiar ones; Lorenzo's.

I didn't look up but I heard him sitting on the sofa about 6 metres away from me, probably on his phone.

My hand froze on the page for a second but I got myself back together. It got dark in the common room, only 15 minutes left until curfew.

There was always some people that stayed in the common room after curfew, since barely any staff were strict enough to check.

The group of kids next to me turned on some lamps near them, they looked like they were playing some sort of card game.

I was set on finishing all of my homework today and so I continued writing, using their light to write.

Soon after, I had fell asleep on the chair. Gosh, this stuff only happens to me. I think that I'm sleeping there for 5 minutes until I hear some noises.

I'm literally half asleep, barely being able to move because of tiredness.

I hear my textbook being closed, my pencils being put back in my pencil case, cleaned up essentially.

"C'mere." I force my eyes to flutter open when I hear Lorenzo's voice. His face is right up in mine as he lifts me up.

I grumble, attempting to push him away but the sleep takes over.

-

I wake up and oh my God.

I genuinely think that the sleep I just had was the best sleep ever.

Soft sheets, calm atmosphere, perfect temperature, clean room... not my room?

I sigh. I don't need to open my eyes to know where I am. Just by recalling last nights events, I know that I'm in Lorenzo's dorm.

He's not in bed, thank God.

I open my eyes and look around.

Everything is just how it used to be. Our picture were still hanged on his wall, my birthday gift were still om his shelf and it looked like how it did when we were friends.

A lump forms in my throat as I stare at a photo of us at the movie theatre. It was a scary movie and he hugged me when there was a jumpscare.

I start to cry, the smell of his perfume filling my nose yet again as my tears drop down onto his sheets.

I miss him. So bad. But what hurts the most is that I mentally and physically can't bring myself to speak to him as long as he's friends with those... things.

I think I cry for 15 minutes before getting myself together. I look at his digital clock.

11:23. Oops, woke up late. Classes start at 9am, so I was already extra late anyway.

I get up and realise that I'm in my pijamas. I frown. Lorenzo probably used magic to dress me; he's too respectful.

No, he isn't.

That little voice always made me have a second thought about what I thought of Lorenzo.

I make his bed and leave.

As soon as I turn a corner to get to my room, guess who's there?

This literally feels staged.

Lorenzo. We bump into eachother slightly and he holds my wrist so that I don't fall.

His grip loosens but he doesn't let go. We hold eye contact and I feel my eyes start to tear up.

Maybe my periods on the way, because damn what a crybaby.

We both speak at the same time.

"Let go of me-"

"Y/n, I'm so-"

We also both flinch, he instantly lets go and something in his eyes looks sad. God, it was so hard to hold a grudge with this man.

I walk past him, my heart in my hands. "Y/n, don't..." He says softly and I start slowing down, looking back.

"What do you want?"

"Did you sleep well? I thou-"

"What do you want?" I press.

"I'm sorry." He says quietly and I scoff.

"You're sorry? That's it?" He flinches again and I almost burst out into tears.

"Can we talk? Just give me 5 minutes."

I don't say anything; I sit down infront of my dorm door on the fluffy rug, legs crossed.

Me and Lorenzo used to have the deepest talks sat down in front of mt dorm door.

He sits across from me and runs a hand through his hair. I raise a brow.

"Look, I don't know where to start. I just wanna say sorry and that I know what I did was like... more than just wrong and inconsiderate. I was just trying to be like one of the guys. They're mean to people everyday and I never say anything to stop them. I should but I don't. They're such dicks-"

"I'm not here to hear what I already know. What do you wanna say?"

"Sorry. Again. You know what, I'm gonna be honest. Every day that you've walked past me and haven't looked at me, every time that you act like you don't know me mt heart breaks. Even when I think about you, my heart hurts. I miss what we had. I miss your friendship so bad.
It's not the same anymore. Please give me one more chance. To be your friend again."

I'm tearing up even more as he speaks, looking down.

"I... I don't know what to say." My voice cracks.

"Take your time, sweetheart." He looks at me with a look in his eyes that shows me that he would wait for me forever.

"I'll make it up to you. I'll show you that I deserve you back."

And that was that.

-

Flash forward.

A week later snd Lorenzo had completely stopped talking to those pricks.

He carried my books for me, helped me with homework, filled my water bottle for me, made my plate at meal times, cleaned my dorm for me and I literally felt like a princess.

"You are officially princess." Lorenzo said, placing the plastic tiara on my head.

It was my 3rd birthday and he had a tutu on to match me. I giggled. "Can you be a prince with me?"

He blushed but put a crown on too as all the party guests smiled and applauded.

I blew out the candles on my princess cake. I wished for me and Enzo to be friends forever.

I smiled, remembering the precious memory as I laid in bed. It was 22:00 but already bedtime for me.

Two knocks on my door comfirmed that I would be awake for another half an hour, probably talking to Enzo.

I use my wand to open the door and Enzo has some chocolates and snacks in his his hands.

"Hey." He sits down next to me, putting the snacks everywhere.

"Oh my God, you're the best." I groan as I take a bite of white chocolate, smiling.

We talk for about 15 minutes, passing time. "I really do appreciate everything you do for me."

I say randomly and his cheeks tint pink. "I owe it to you." He says, smiling at me.

I smile. "You know, I've forgiven you since before you even apologized. You mean too much to me."

His smile widens. "So we're good again?" He says, voice hopeful.

"We've been good." I comfirm, standing up and pulling him up, giggling.

I hug him and he hugs back, and gosh this is what I was missing. Lorenzo's hugs make me feel complete.

We stay like that for about 3 minutes and he pulls away, tucking a piece of hair behind my ear.

I can't help myself; this has all happened so fast. I go on my tip toes, leaning my face closer to his.

I kiss him...

His lips are soft and they connect perfectly with mine; out tounges dance and he cups my cheek.

The little boy that I've known for my whole life is now sharing such an intimate moment with me.

I love him. I love him, I love him, I love him.

He groans and pulls away, biting my lip. I whimper and blush, snuggling my fave in his chest.

He picks me up, kissing me again.

"You're all mine now. No going back." I nod.

I'm all his; I wouldn't even ever think of going back. My Enzo.
