"You could've been more rough with me"SAGE WALTMORE

"HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?" Pansy asked. I rubbed my thumb over my scabbed and bruised knuckles. I punched a brick wall, possibly could have broken it. I blew the smoke between my lips, the cigarette remaining between my fingers.

"Good" I responded. I stared at the beautiful landscape. Pansy and I sat on the thick railing of a balcony. We're about 100 feet high or more. Definitely more.

"Hasn't Draco told you to stop smoking?" She asked.

My eyes shoot over to hers in an instant. "It doesn't matter what he says, he smokes too and I really don't care to talk about him right now" I respond.

Pansy scoffed, "Will it always be like that between you two?" She asked. "Be like what?"

"Arguments, sex, and then you forgive one another" She says.

I begin to respond but she interrupts me. "Sometimes I wish you two hadn't confirmed your relationship, it's only been 5 days and-"

"Pansy. It's been more than that. Saying you're in a relationship is just a factor. Mentally we've been in a relationship before it got confirmed" I calmly say.

Draco gets upset at the littlest things. He assumed I was going out with another guy because I didn't wear anything under this dress.

It's a white dress that flows in the wind. He said I was whoring myself out so I threw a book at him. It obviously didn't hit him but a part of me wish it'd knock some sense into him.

I slipped a pair of black stockings on and a black jacket and walked out of his dorm. I wouldn't call our relationship toxic.

It's just complicated.

Pansy softly pushes hair behind my ear. "You're gorgeous" She compliments.

"So why do you set yourself up like this?" She whispers.

"Gorgeous doesn't buy reasons Pans" I sighed. Pansy removed her touch and continued licking this...this...what the hell even is that?

"What's that?" I asked.

"A Jolly Rancher" she replied.

I scrunched up my eyebrows in confusion.

"An American candy, it's actually delicious. I have literally a box full of them. All of the flavors as well" Pansy bragged.

"Where'd you get American candy?" I questioned.

She paused before replying. "None of your business" She snapped.

I rolled my eyes leaning my head on the stone wall. My legs dangled from the railing and cold wind blew in my face.

"Here take the rest of these" She offered. She placed the box into my hand.

Pansy kissed my cheek before disappearing. Literally. Edelyn taught her a new trick. She just bounces from place to place and can go anywhere she pleases. 

I was left alone. It's not like a surprise to me in the first place.

These actually look appealing.

I want one.

I try grabbing one but the cigarette falls into nowhere. It really fucking fell out of my hands. "Shit!" I snap. It's just a cigarette.

I can get another one.

I grab one of the cherry sticks, peeling the wrapping paper apart with my teeth. I pull the other side of the wrapping paper with my fingers, revealing the red candy. I hesitantly run my tongue along the candy.

The sour sweet taste immediately attaching itself to my tastebuds.

It tasted like cherry.

It tastes good.

I walk down the dark hall. No one seems to be here. I continue sucking on the cherry stick, holding the box in my hand.

It's freezing cold.

Wait.

I stop.

There's footsteps.

And soft humming.

Keep walking.

The footsteps seems everywhere and the humming of a male.

Wait. It sounds familiar.

"Sage" He whispered.

I stopped. A cold breeze flew behind me. I flinched as ice cold hands came in contact with my neck.

I immediately knew who it was.

Sighing, I bring myself to turn to face him.

I look up at him innocently, removing the cherry stick from my mouth. "Is there anything you need Draco?"

I instantly drop the box of Jolly's when Draco connects his lips with mine. He forced his tongue into my mouth as he brought my waist closer to his.

The sticky candy sticks to his suit. Oh how upset he will be with me when he realizes.

He pulled away from me before whispering I'm sorry.

I should wrap my arms around his waist.

Or kiss him back.

Or run away.

Fuck, there really isn't anything to do but to be in his embrace.

I latched onto his body like a magnet. Draco is really all I have if I think about it.

Pansy is moral support but has her own problems.

Edelyn is not a friend to me.

Blaise isn't the therapy type and my parents are the cause for half of my problems.

"You're beautiful" He whispered.

I'm not sure if I'm beautiful in general or if I'm beautiful fucking him. Or if I'm beautiful kissing him, touching him, being with him period.

I'm not sure and I don't think I'll ever truly know but as long as he thinks I'm beautiful.

It's like I'm being smacked on the head.

I open my eyes.

I'm standing in the middle of a dark hall. With no one there. Not a single person.

The box of cherry sticks are still in my hand and the one I was previously sucking on didn't stick to any sort of thick fabric.

Fucking hell.

I wish this shit didn't happen.

I thought it was over with.

"Is it happening again?"
