Draco laid in bed with his staring at the ceiling while listening to his iPod. The lights were off and he pretended to be sleeping, though he was fully clothed and wide awake. In his right hand he held his cell phone.

the tide is turning…your eyes are burning…my days are numbered…the future is crumbled. Draco quietly sang to himself.

Imagine of moments lost in our hold, things we missed that might have changed our lives…

Draco took a deep sigh. He opened his cell phone and looked at it. There were clearly no missed calls, and no new text messages. Draco was unsure what to do. He scrolled down through his phone list until he got to Harry's number and stopped. He stared at it a moment debating whether or not to call him. Draco then brought up a sub menu on his phone bringing him to a textual input and with his thumb he began to write out a message to Harry:

Harry,

No one has ever made me feel loved like you make me feel,

No one has.

And the love I feel for you right now is burning inside me. I didn't know, I'm sorry Harry.

Help me; help us to save what we have together. I would not be the same without you.

Please…just answer me, say anything, just something so I know your still there.

Drakes

Draco's phone beeped saying "Message sent". With a sigh he closed his phone and set it on his stomach hoping Harry would respond quickly. Draco replayed the song he was listening to.

A few minutes later Draco got up to use the bathroom and he took his phone with him. It was nice having one's own bathroom, unlike Hogwarts where everyone had to share the same bathrooms. After Draco relieved his bladder he stared at his dark reflection in the mirror. The waning moon gave off enough light so Draco could see a ghostly visage of himself.

Half of Draco's face was hidden by the darkness and the other half was partially lit by the moonlight.

The darkness surrounding Draco made him feel even more alone, more empty.

Harry…where are you?

Draco leaned forward bracing himself on the marble sink's round edge. As he did his entire head became enveloped by the darkness.

Night of nights, keep me in you.
