AN: Bold is Harry, regular is Draco.
I don't own the characters, just the story. Characters belong to JK Rowling.

Yesterday
Was perfect
Not a single complaint

Today
Everything is disastrous
Everything is wrong

Somehow
I can't see this improving
No matter what you say

16
They say it gets better
That's a long time away

Time
Has always been against me
Now it's on my side

Box
Filled with razors
And multiple pills

Yellow
What a great color to end it
Hopefully about 15 will do the trick

Spin
Everything is rotating
Would it stop

Vibrate
Everything is pulsing
The smallest moments

Dark
It's taking over me
Goodbye cruel world

Never have I heard crying quite like that
Walking by the bathroom on the 5th floor
Sudden silence and I ran
I'm not the total jerk they all think I am
He was lying on the ground
His chest barely rising and his breath shuddering
That damned box
He carried it everywhere
I'd never thought
I picked him up and sprinted
To the hospital wing
Madam Pomphrey would be able to help

Light
poured into my eyes
4 faces above mine

Failure
I was there again
I thought I'd won

Hugs
They're all giving me one
Happy I'd be sticking around

Sniffing
It was coming from the corner
Pushing to see who it was

Leave
The tall figure did
Everyone fussing over me

Questions
They assaulted me with them
Not doing this another time

Out
I yelled at them
Give me some time

Sleep
Hopefully not to wake up
Then I would have won

He was sleeping
Most would find it weird I was watching him
I thought of it as worry
He was breathing normally again
I sighed deeply
But tears started to flow again
I can't cry quietly no matter how hard I try

Crying
Coming from my other side
Who the fuck is it?

Slowly
Sit up to see
I have to know

Him
He cries?
Not true

I raised my head
He was staring at me
I sniffed and tried to compose myself
"Hey"

Confusion
How do I answer back?
"What are you doing here?"

I bit the inside of my cheek
Don't sound creepy
You might scare him
"I was making sure you were ok"

Clock
It's hard to see
"2 in the morning?"

Shit
Cover blown
Contain yourself, you can do it
"Are you ok?"

"Fine"
I was so freaking close
How can I be ok?

I know he's lying
Do I call him on it or leave it
Call it
"What's wrong?"

"Nothing"
Like hell I'd tell him
What made him care suddenly?

But another lie
Maybe a more direct question
The last was vague
"Why did you do this, the pills?"

Fuck
He's figured me out
"Why would I not?"

Resiliant
I'll get it out of him
I'm determined
"Because 15 at once will kill you"

Tear
It rolls down my cheek
I thought he'd say that

Obviously
Why else would he have done it
"Why did you try to kill yourself?"
Slowly I rested my hand on his

Flinch
His hand was cold
"Because my life sucks"

A tear rolled down my face
I couldn't stand to see him like that
My thumb rubbed his finger
"So I've heard"

Red
Slowly crept up my face
"I thought someone would care"

Of course
He just wanted love
I lowered my head and talked quietly
"I care about you"

"What?"
He couldn't be serious
Why'd he say that?

Was that anger or confusion?
I couldn't tell
my own emotions had taken over
"I really care for you"

"Oh"
Flush rose up my neck
What else could I say?

"Yeah"
I pulled my hand away
My secret was out
Mind you, it wasn't much of a secret

Surprise
I never thought he'd like me
"I really like you too"

My eyes lit up a bit
I'd never expected that
I smiled lightly
"Really?"

Nod
I couldn't speak
I felt it

I slid closer to him slowly
And brushed a cheek
Ridding it of tears
"Can… Can I…?"

"Yes"
No hesitation there
I need it

Very gently and slowly
I pressed my lips against his
My hand holding his cheek
His lips softer than I expected

Kiss
It was my first
And it felt good

He pulled away
And melted against me
Curling up
I wrapped my arms around him

Love
It had finally found me
And it was Draco Malfoy.

He quickly dozed off
A smile on his face
Matching the one on mine
I might have saved Harry Potter.
