I am such a horrible person for not posting...
HERE IT IS!!
Chapter Seven- Rose's PoV This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonder-struck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
This night is flawless, don't you let it go
I'm wonder-struck, dancing around all alone
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you
Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you --Taylor Swift
I had practically skipped to the park. I was in such a good mood. I felt Amazing.
I remember how I felt running into Scorpius Malfoy the first time. I felt wonderful. I felt wonder-struck. I felt Enchanted. I felt like I knew what love was. I also remember how I felt running into him the second time. I felt ashamed. I felt betrayed. I felt hurt. I felt stupid. I felt like I would never know what 'love' was.
I had begun to mumble and stutter, I faked a smile so he wouldn't see how much he hurt me. It had not even been 24 hours before my real had been changed to fake. I forgot what I had gone there for. I turned right around and went back the way I came fighting back my tears.
I had obviously been failing, because the next thing I knew, I could see nothing through my tears. I heard a shout of my name. I heard screams. I felt pain. I didn't even feel the road once I hit the ground.

I had dreams (If thats what you call what you see when you are knocked out) of the night I met Scorpius. I dreamed of dancing in an empty space. I dreamed of dancing with Scorpius he was a pretty darn good dancer too. I dreamed of...well...no need to explain that, so we'll just say I liked it and was none to pleased when I woke up.
I don't know if you've ever woken up from being knocked out. But it is rude. No warning. It just yanks you from your pleasant thoughts and drops back into the pain of reality. Fortunately though, St. Mungos rather comfortable and most of my pain had faded. I still didn't know what had happened to me. I just knew that I had walked away from Scorpius, heart broken, I hear yelling, and I woke up there.
Also fortunate I woke to the welcome sight of my family, Ron, Hermione, and Hugo Weasley. None of them noticed when I first opened my eyes, because I hadn't moved, but when I let out a painful cough they all looked at me so fast I thought they would get whiplash.
At first there was silence. Then Hugo, who suddenly seemed like the shyest person on earth, whispered, "You okay, Sis?"
My raspy response, "Well, I feel like I was squished by an elephant, but other than that, I'm fine."
Silence again, then it seemed everyone was talking at once. I stopped them all by cocking my head at Hugo, "Hugo? Why do you have a bloody nose?"
Hugo gave a wry smile, "Because of the gi- er, guy sitting in the hallway."
"What giguy?" I asked, teasing him.
"Scorpius Malfoy," came his flat response.
I'm not sure what my face looked like at that moment. Shock maybe? Maybe I was blushing? Maybe anger? I'm not sure. I was mad him for saying what he said at the park, even though I had no good reason for being at him. I was probably blushing because I didn't want Hugo knowing that I loved liked him. And I was shocked because he was there even after what he said at the park.
I decided to change the subject as quickly as possible, "So, how did I get here?"
Mom responded, probably because she was the one least likely to be mad about the way I got here, "The boy, Scorpius, saw the accident and brought you right away. His quick thinking is probably what saved you."
Well, so much for getting off the subject of Scorpius.
Later on I had convinced the family to leave, (I needed space....) and who should come in after they leave, but Scorpius Malfoy.
"Rose? Are you..uh..okay?" He said meekly.
I looked down, I was unsure how to act around him now... "Well, yeah...I guess.."
He sighed in relief, "Why had you run away like that? I tried to let you know about the car but...you weren't listening."
I had to bite back tears as I thought about seeing him saying that he didn't like me at all. I avoided eye contact with him as I shrugged and mumbled something that he couldn't hear.
"What? Rose..talk to me? You're acting weird, we talked really well at the party, and I eally felt like we could comunicate.."
I fought the urge to scream at him, I fought the urge to show how betrayed I felt. I didn't do a good job, "Really? Because I thought so too until I heard you say that you didn't like me and to not bother because I was a Weasley." My words were spat, they were harsh, but they felt good to say.
His eyes widened and he flinched, "You..You..heard that?" he choked out.
"Yes.Loud and clear. I'm sorry I ever thought any differently of you.." tears were visibly coming out of my eyes now, and I hated it.
He stepped closer and sat next to the bed, "Rose...I...I didn't mean it....I just..I was jelouse....he was like...hitting on you...and I didn't like it, I don't why I said that..but I...I like you..and I'm sorry that you heard that. It was all my fault you got hit by that..well mine and the jerk that hit you..."
Out of all that I only caught three words, 'I like you'. I sat up straighter and looked him in the eye, "You like me?"
He faltered, "Well...um..kinda...Wait..not Kinda, I mean, yes. Yes I do like you Rose Weasley."
Now I smiled for real, my tears dissolving, "I like you too, Scorp."
Just then the door opened and Draco Malfoy walked in...just as Scorpius was picking up my hand.
