CHAPTER 12
DISCLAIMED
NARRATOR POV
Draco sat at harry's side while he slept. He had gotten a pass from Coach peers after lunch and now sat there staring at the others face. The boy stirred and his eyes fluttered open.
"Draco?"
"It's okay Harry, you're in the nurse's office" Draco responded.
"Why? What happened?"
"I don't know, you walked into English looking all flushed and stuff, you were breathing really loud and then you fainted, Mr. Lupin said it was a panic attack"
"A panic attack? I haven't had one of those since I was eleven and I found out my parents were murdered and didn't die in a car crash" Harry said.
"What, you're an orphan?" Draco asked surprised.
Harry managed a laugh "no, I live with my aunt Petunia, uncle Vernon and cousin Dudley Dursley" Harry said. The topic seemed to bum him out so Draco changed the subject.
"What had you so nervous and panicky?"
"Uh.. nothing I was just thinking too long on a subject and…"
"Harry, you don't have to lie to me" Draco said to him.
"I know it's just-"
"Harry"
"Fine I was thinking about the thing that happened last night"
"That's what you were freaking out about? I think I should be the one freaking out, you left me on a street corner, alone. I had all kinds of thing running through my head and I totally thought I screwed things up, royally" Draco said.
"You did screw things up," Harry started. Draco felt his heart plummet and he felt as if he would cry. He couldn't remember ever feeling this horrible.
"I don't know how I'm supposed to look at you and not want to kiss you, I'm pretty sure that's the only thing running through my head right now" Harry laughed and blushed.
"Kiss Draco, Kiss Draco" Draco said, his voice high pitched. "Is that what your conscience sounds like?" Draco laughed.
"your impression is spot on, you should be an actor" Harry said sarcastically.
"you know I'm thinking about it, it would be a really suit me" he responded.
"right, you would be the worst actor ever, I would be the only person to come see your shows, you'd be famous for being a horrible actor and I, for my hit novel series" Harry said.
"A writer, is that what you want to be?" Draco asked.
"yeah, I enjoy writing I think it would be cool to be an author of a book"
"I never thought of you as a writer I always thought you would pursue something in art"
"while I do enjoy drawing, I like writing more I have loads of journals at home full of stories, I am running out of things to draw and I think that writing is a huge opportunity for something big you can never run out of things to write about, what about you? what do you want to do?"
"I think I want to be a singer/songwriter, that would be cool" Draco said.
"do you have any songs written already?"
"a few"
"can I hear one" Harry asked.
"I don't think so" Harry's face dropped and Draco added "how about, I write a song for you and sing it for you?"
"Okay" Harry nodded.
"okay, I should get back to class" Draco said standing up.
"wait!" Harry yanked his arm pulling him back down onto the cot. He sat up fully and pressed his lips against the blonds, slowly.
when they pulled apart Harry whipered "just to get him to shut up" and pointed to his head. Draco smiled and got up he was exiting the nurses office when he stopped and said.
"oh, and Harry? you can draw me"
Harry was released from the nurse's office towards the end of sixth hour, after Mrs. Pomfrey blanched for hour over his skinniness and the scars he bore on his wrists. he had made up some excuse about his cat but she hadn't believed him and said that she wouldn't tell any of the teachers if he promised to see her at least once a week and find some coping skills.
Harry ran into ron in the boy's bathroom five minutes until last bell.
"Hey mate, you alright?"
"yeah, I'm sure you heard what happened just stress"
"yeah, when I heard I about had a heart attack I went to visit you but Mrs. Pomfrey said one person at a time and that you were asleep. Apparently that blond asshole was by your side all day did you know?"
Harry blushed and lied "uh... um.. no I was asleep until about an hour ago and he wasn't there because Mrs. Pomfrey"
"Makes sense" Ron said stuffing his junk back in his pants and zipping up. He clapped Harry on the arm and walked out, "see ya later mate"
ew, he didn't even wash his hands before he touched me, or after.
Harry walked over to one of the basins and scrubbed his arms and hands.
When last bell rang Harry was roaming the halls and he just so happened to be outside Draco's classroom.
"hey" He said
"hey" the blond responded.
"so uh..."
"oh! I think I have a subject we can write our story over, it's do in a few days, can you come over tonight?"
"Oh um.. I have to be home to make- I mean to eat dinner so you'd have to come pick me up or they won't let me out if the house family rules" Harry said.
"those are some weird family rules but whatever you say" Draco said as they exited the building. "Is there anything I need to wear or can I just go with a crop top leather jacket and skinny jeans" he joked.
Harry laughed "no it probably be best if you tried to look normal, bye" he said when Draco's car pulled up.
The blond looked over "give me a sec, k?" Harry nodded. The blond ran over to the car and a few seconds later it was driving off without him.
"I told him I'd walk home, let's go" Draco took off, heading off of school grounds, Harry following.
"so um.. about the cutting, you- you won't tell anyone will you?" Harry asked.
"No.. I just want to know why you do it"
"I don't know" Harry fibbed "Bullying perhaps, I'm bullied quite a lot, I think It's the pain, to know that Those people aren't the only ones who can cause me pain, that they don't have something on me, something that can tear a person apart"
"yeah but, you are just adding to it breaking yourself more you're saying 'you can break me to pieces but so can I' I don't see why it's necessary, it's pain it hurts no one likes it"
"but to cause it upon other people makes them jump with joy. I do it cause it makes me feel alive-"
"promise me you'll try to stop" Draco interrupted.
"Draco I-"
"Promise me" He insisted. Harry stayed quite, Draco hung his head "right, see you later" he said before walking off, Harry unaware they had stopped in front of his house.
