Song: Crush, David Archuleta
"I hung up the phone tonight
Something happened for the first time
Deep inside, it was a rush
What a rush.."
Draco had just hung up the phone after talking to you for over five hours. It was the middle of July, and you guys had been talking since the beginning of March. It was weird, how he could talk to you about absolutely anything he wanted. How you could relate to him so easily. How he could actually carry a conversation with you without getting irritated or bored.
When he hung up the phone he had bought from a Muggle appliance store after you gave him your number and explained how a telephone worked to him, he felt something. He felt something deep inside himself, something he never thought he could feel. It was like...a rush. Not an adrenaline rush, but it was more like a sudden realization. In his mind it was like, "I think I like her.. Not just as a friend or an acquaintance, but I like her as I would for a...ah, what's the word? Oh yeah...a crush."
"'Cause the possibility
That you would ever feel the same way about me
It's just too much
Just too much..."
However, when that realization settled in, he became conflicted.
He didn't know if you felt the same way about him as he did you. On one hand, he did want you to return the feelings, that way he'd know that there really was something there and he could pursue it and discover what was there.
On another hand, he didn't want you to feel the same way as he did for you. Because after all, who wants somebody like Draco Malfoy? Who wants somebody who is hated by nearly everyone? Who wants someone who is broken and bruised? Run down and nearly torn apart?
As much as he wanted for you to reciprocate feelings, he knew that the possibility of that happening was one in a million. And even if you did, it would be too much for him. What would he do? Where would he even start?
"Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you.
You got me hypnotized
So mesmerized
And I just got to know..."
He had tried so hard to fight his feelings for you. He had tried so hard to pretend like they weren't there. To pretend like you didn't give him butterflies every time you talked to him. To pretend like you didn't make his heart skip a beat every time you smiled or laughed at him. To pretend like he didn't want to feel how your skin felt under his fingers when you touched him.
And it was killing him.
You eventually became his center of attention. It was ridiculous how quickly you had taken over his mind. He was so hypnotized, so mesmerized by you, and it almost physically hurt him to know he didn't know how you felt about him.
"Do you ever think
When you're all alone,
All that we could be?
Where this thing could go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real, or just another crush?"
