LORENZO BERKSHIRE

I watch as she peacefully sleeps next to me. I just wanted to stay here forever. Her and I in my bed without a worry in the world. She made me act different. I couldn't even be her friend for just a day without screwing it up.

I wanted her so bad. I needed her so badly to be mine. 

I want to show her off to everyone, treat her the way she deserves to be treated. I'll spoil her and as we grow together, we'll live a big life because that's possible for me if I'm with her. She'll make me a better person and who knows? I might even truly find out what love feels like.

Of course I love Eloise but how am I supposed to know what that feels like or if I'm even in love with her?

It's too early to even think into that yet.

But I've never really known was love feels like.

My birth parents didn't love each other, Lucius doesn't love Narcissa. I haven't exactly been surrounded by it.

Obviously I love Narcissa, Draco and all our friends but that's kind of just natural. I know Eloise is more though, she's different.

I'll just rely on time; times changes everything.

"You know it's rude to stare," She whispered as her soft eyes fluttered open.

"I'm admiring," I tuck a piece of hair behind her hair, while she adjusts to the sudden light in the room. "I still mean what I said last night. I don't want anyone else".

"Am I really anyone's though?" She giggled.

"I don't want to go back to being friends. Even if I had my doubts about myself at first and what I thought I couldn't give you, I know I can," I whispered.

"I don't need you to give me anything," She spoke quietly.

"Like well- love. I don't really know how to but I'll learn it with you. Your perfect, why would I ever let you go again?"

She looks away in thought, "I'm really not perfect Lorenzo. I don't want you to think that if we were together".

"What do you mean?" I asked, grabbing her hand.

 "Do you remember in summer before 5th year how I didn't write and everyone was upset about it?" Eloise questioned.

I nod in reply, slowly brushing my thumb over her hand as she builds up the courage to tell me.

"I was actually in the hospital for the most of summer. I was in recovery for an eating disorder. It got bad quickly and I was scared what you would all think of me so I stopped writing. That's why I'm close with my parents. They get scared for me sometimes. I'm healthy and okay now but I am most definitely anything but perfect" She sniffles and her voice almost breaks.

"Oise, I'm so sorry. I had no idea," I apologised. 

I feel like such a dick.

"It's okay I mean, how could you have?"

"You could had told me, love. If you ever need to talk. I'll always be here for you. Through the good and bad," I promised, wrapping my arms around her small figure.

"I'll always be here for you too Enzo."

We hear Onyx start to stir in Blaise's bed. "Should I leave before they wake up?" Eloise asked.
