Hey guys I love the reviews and I'm glad you like this story so here's another chapter.
Desdemona was sitting in the common room talking to Draco. It had been a few weeks since her visit to St. Mungo's. Draco was in the middle of talking about Quiddich practice when she started coughing uncontrollably. Her head was down her long hair covering her face.
"Dessie, you ok?" He asked handing her a tissue she took it and started coughing into it. When the coughing fit stopped she looked at the tissue and saw blood. Desdemona crumpled it up before Draco could see it.
"Yeh I'm fine," She said standing up. "I'm gonna go get some fresh air."
"Alright,"
Desdemona walked out of the common room and to Snape's office. She looked at the door and knocked he opened the door and looked at her with a blank expression.
"Miss. Lestrange," He drawled.
"I need a potion and I need to keep this confidential,"
"For what may I ask?"
"This," She said opening up the blood soaked tissue.
"As I've told Lucius there's nothing I can do except continue giving you the potion I've been giving you,"
"Are you serious? I'm coughing up blood and there's nothing you're going to do,"
"There's nothing I can do,"
"That's a sack of shit and you know it," She spat before walking away.
Desdemona walked to an empty hallway and sat down. She couldn't take her eyes off the blood she just stared at it with a blank expression on her face. She felt a tear slide down her cheek before she started sobbing. She stood and started walking to the astronomy tower. When she got there the cool October air hit her skin. She climbed up to the edge the tower and looked down at the ground.
"What are you doing?" She heard a male voice say. Desdemona snapped her head around and saw a man with red hair and freckles walking up to her.
"Don't you dare come any closer," She threatened. "I'll do it. I'll jump." He was standing beside her now.
"No you won't,"
"Excuse me? You don't know me don't you even dare to tell me what I will and will not do,"
"Well you would've done it,"
"Go away you prick,"
"You know you don't have to do this, whatever you're going through it's not worth your life," A tear slid down her cheek.
"You don't know that," She whispered.
"Come on, you don't want to do this. You've got loads to live for." He said reaching out his hand.
"You don't know me, why are you helping me?"
"Because I have a family and if you jump I have to jump," Desdemona took his hand only for the reason she couldn't be the reason a family lost someone. He helped her off the ledge.
"Charlie," He said.
"Desdemona," She said as she let go of his hand and walked down the stairs.
"Wait," Charlie called following her.
"What do you want now?" She huffed.
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why'd you want to jump?"
"Because I'm going to die anyway might as well get it over with now."
"Well were all gonna die some day but you don't see me standing on the edge of a building." She snapped around.
"I have one of the rarest blood conditions in the world it is so rare there is no name for it. I'm sixteen, in two years I'm going to die. So forgive me if I want to jump off of the tallest tower I can find." She snapped before walking away from him and down to her common room.
"Where have you been?" Draco asked.
"Tried to jump off the astronomy tower, didn't work out."
"What?"
"Yeh some prick named Charlie stopped me."
"No I mean you tried to jump off the astronomy tower?"
"Does that surprise you? I'm dying for Merlin's sake."
"Well I didn't think you'd actually go and jump off the astronomy tower."
"I didn't jump off the astronomy tower I stood on the edge of the astronomy tower."
"Great so my cousin is suicidal,"
"Draco,"
"What?"
"Shut up," She before she walked up to the girl's dorm.
The next morning she woke up and got dressed. When she and Draco got to the main hallway her jaw dropped as she saw her uncle standing by the doors.
"You didn't," She muttered to Draco.
"No," She heard Snape drawl. They both turned around and Desdemona glared at him. "I wrote Lucius I thought he might know about what happened last night."
"Desdemona, Draco." Lucius said behind them they turned around to face him. "May I have a word with you Desdemona?"
"Yes sir," She said as her and Lucius stepped away from the two.
"We're lucky it's a Saturday so we can go for a walk."
"What do you need to talk to me about?" Desdemona asked when they were far enough away from the school.
"Severus wrote me about the tissue and the argument you had with Draco."
"So you found out that I tried to jump."
"Yes I did but I don't understand why you made the attempt." He said with a little edge in his voice. Desdemona pulled out the tissue from her sweatshirt pocket and handed it to him.
"I'm going to die anyway I just wanted to get it over with."
"I knew you were depressed but I didn't think you'd try to go kill yourself," He said clearly angry.
"Would it make you feel better if I said I wasn't going to do it?"
"Yes much,"
"Then feel better!" She yelled at him. He looked at her with a shocked expression.
"If you don't want to live why weren't you going to jump then?"
"Because of you," She said before turning from him and walking away. Lucius stood there watching her walk away hoping history wouldn't repeat its self.
He was walking down the hallway when he heard yelling from an abandoned corridor.
"Bella why did you join him?" He heard a man yell.
"I needed that cure," She yelled back.
"So bad that you sold your soul?"
"I did it so I could be with you,"
Well that's it for now hope you liked it. Please review.
