All They Care About
"Oh my god! Look at that face!"
It doesn't hurt any less the second time, the third, or forth. Their hate filled words crush your hopes and they crush your dreams. Maybe one day you could be like them, after all they were perfect. You are so jealous of them when you know you shouldn't be. You know that everyone is beautiful in their own way, you know that everyone has their moment to shine. Yours just isn't today. Or yesterday. Or last week.
But you didn't think they would go this far. You didn't think they would expose your secret. You have been trying to keep your secret from the world for all of your life. You didn't want anybody to know.
But now they did; and you would bet your life that they were going to tell it.
You still remember the day your secret happened. You were late. You got scared. You never thought they would find out. You didn't think anyone would find out.
Ember had told you it was Canada day and you wanted to have some fun with your friends, after all you are only 13 once. You guys were going to have Firewhiskey and set off fireworks. But then it happened.
They had bullied you your entire life; they have been waiting for something this big to happen. You didn't know it would happen this way, you didn't think they were going to try to be your friend just to get you to trust them. You didn't think they would take Rose, your own cousin, to get the secret from you. Rose got close to you, close enough for you to trust her, you should have never trusted her.
But you did trust her. You trusted her so much to make her the first person who you told your secret to. How could she tell them? How could she betray you like that? She was your cousin! She was your own flesh and blood!
Why did she do it? That thought has crossed your mind a million times. Maybe it's because she was jealous of you, always in the spotlight because you are Harry Potter's daughter. You knew for a fact that she was jealous of you because of your friendship with Scorpius, the two of you were as close as two people could get and Rose had always wanted to date Scorpius. However, it wasn't your fault that Scorpius didn't like her, he didn't even like you like that the poor guy was gay for crying out loud. Rose really couldn't have told them your secret just because of a stupid school girl crush, could she?
But she did. And now tomorrow it will be in Magic Mitchie's Witchy Weekly Magazine. Someone was probably writing the article right now, you can even imagine the headline now:
Lily Potter: Abortionist
Lily Potter aborts baby
Wizarding Worlds Savior's daughter gone bad?
The reporters won't care that it was years ago. All they care about is the fact that you're Harry Potter's daughter, you're supposed to be a good role model.
They wouldn't care that you were thirteen years old.
They won't care that you were raped.
They won't care about the madness you were enduring that year.
They won't care about anything you have to say about the matter.
All they care about is that your baby is gone.
All they care about is that you killed it.
You sent it to heaven early; wrapped in a blanket of sin.
All they care about is what the socially acceptable thing is.
