I decided to put all of the three one-shots together and this is the second installment.


THERAPY!!

"Why did you do it?" Draco asked as he and I were sitting at that tree. We had been sitting there for the past 10 minutes in silence.

"I was sick of life."

'Paralyzed. Nothing's getting through to me.

Hypnotized from all my surroundings.

I wanna be something I could never be.

I wanna say things that I could never say.

Yeah, I'm gonna do it again!

Sick of my life. I'm tired of everything in my life.
'

"Sick of your life, huh?"

"That's what I said."

'Dragged down Rubbing my face in the ground.

No time for the undecided.

I wanna know why I've always felt alone,

And I wanna love. Why am I untouchable?

Yeah, I'm gonna do it again!

Sick of my life. I'm tired of everything in my life.

I never wanted to be sick of my life.

I'm tired of everything in my life'
("Sick of my life")

"What's so bad about it?' he looked at me. "I mean look at you. Your Hermione Granger. Your top of our class, friend of Harry Potter, you helped defeat Voldemort. Anyone in your shoes would love life. But, no, you try and take it."

"MY LIFE ISN'T PERFECT." I yelled out. "My dad is a coke head, he beats me. My mom is gone. Harry and Ron don't even talk to me anymore." Draco's jaw dropped. "That's why I did what I did." I was angry now, at myself mostly. I didn't really want to tell him all of that it just came out.

"Wow." He breathed out.

"Yeah, well." I crossed my arms over my chest. When I did my robes moved so that the bandages were clearly visible. Draco looked at them. When I realized what he was looking at I hid my arms again.

"Suicide is not worth it." He said.

"Yeah and how would you know?" I snapped.

"Because I have tried it." He turned away, looking back out toward the lake.

"I didn't know." Was all I could say.

"No one really does, except for my mother that is. She was the one that found me, just as I found you." He pulled up his sleeves and showed me the scars. "She was so afraid that she was going to lose me. I pleaded for her not to tell father. She promised me she wouldn't, and she kept that promise until the day she died." Draco would not look at me. I knew he must have been close to his mother the way he talked about her. I also knew that she had died in the War.

'What do you see in the dark

when the demons come for you?

If only you could have seen

how fucked up my life used to be

then everything starts to change

supposedly healing my pain.

I never thought I'd feel this way.

I never thought that I'd see a day.

I'd run away from anything or anywhere or anyone.

It's all these demons haunting me.

Its all these little things trapped inside of me.

Releasing me from all my sin.

It's taken me all of my anger.

And taken me all of my hate.

To learn how my life came together

Releasing the demons again.'

"I'm sorry." And I was.

"Whatever." He still wouldn't look at me.

"I miss my mom too." I said trying to get him to look at me.

"Yeah, well, at least your mom isn't dead." He looked at me, his eyes filled with hurt.

"Close enough." I said quietly.

'And now I look through my minds eye

and see where my past needs to rest.

Its always disturbed by these voices

that echo inside of my head.

Another way that I can hide

another reason to crawl inside and get away

from everything and everywhere and everyone.

NO!

It's all these demons haunting me.

Its all these little things trapped inside of me

releasing me from all my sin.

Its taken me all of my anger

and taken me all of my hate

to learn how my life came together

Releasing the demons...again.

Facin' the days as I grow into my own

Loving and hatings the same

And three-fold I told you

it comes back with laughter.

Over and over again

it's coming back.

Its taken me all of my anger

and taken me all of my hate

to learn how my life came together

Releasing the demons again.
' ("Releasing the demons")

That topic was closed and locked away. He didn't want to talk about it nor did I.

A few minutes later, people started coming out onto the grounds. Lunch must have been over. Since it was Saturday most of the school liked to lazy around the grounds, especially on such a nice day.

I heard Harry and Ron's voices coming closer. They were talking about something and laughing. It pissed me off that they could just go on like that without a care in the world.

"Hey, 'Mione." Waved Harry.

"What's up, 'Mione?" Ron asked, smiling at me as they walked by.

"I'm going to kill them." I got up and stomped towards them, Draco following me. "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU TWO?" I stood in front of them making them stop in their tracks.

"What do you mean?" Harry asked, oblivious. "And why the hell is Malfoy following you?"

"I am the one that asks the questions around here, alright?" The two nodded. "Good. Now you two ignore me from the time we boarded the Hogwarts Express, until now. What the hell is up with you?" I stood ready for anything they would throw back at me.

"Well, we heard about the hell of a week you had, and we thought it was because of us." Ron said.

"How dare you?" I said in a quiet forced voice. "HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT!" I screamed at them.

"What do you mean, 'Mione?" Harry asked.

"You really think that I would do what I did because of YOU?" I was pissed.

"Well, yeah." Said Ron.

'For everything you do

I'd like to swallow you.

And everyday I'm gonna blame you

Even if you justify

Every fucking bullshit lie

It only makes me want to break you.

You pull me down

And you crucify my name.

You make me insane

It's broken now.

Don't ever look my way

Don't even think I'm playin'

'Cause I fucking hate you.

You're such a liar

And I love to hate you.

You're all the same to me

When you repeatedly

Take advantage of me.

The only thought I get of you sickens me

Everybody knows you're fake

You're everything I fucking hate
. ("I fucking hate you")

"You two have got the BIGGEST egos I have ever known. I can't believe you. I did what I did because I couldn't take it anymore. It wasn't because of you. I would NEVER hurt myself because of you two. I tried to kill myself because I didn't see any other way out. I didn't think life was worth it. But I would NEVER do that because of the shit you two pulled." I was freaking out on them and they deserved it. I didn't care that there were people all around us. I didn't care that Draco was having the time of his life. I didn't care period. I was finally getting things off of my chest.

The two buffoons just stood there with mouths open. I was thoroughly satisfied with myself. "Come on, Draco." I turned on my heel not waiting for him. He smirked at Harry and Ron and followed my example.

When I reached the Head's common room I collapsed onto the couch and cried. They weren't tears of sadness, more like tears of anger. I was so angry with the two of them. I had given them so much of me that I didn't know how much was left.

As I was crying I didn't hear Draco come in. In fact I didn't even know that he was there until he scooped me up into his arms and held me. He kept me there until my tears subsided.

"My knight in shining armor." I tried to lighten the mood.

He smiled. "You know it my lady"

I laughed.

Laughing liked that was therapy in its own weird way. I might have lost two friends, but I gained one that knows the true me. I need Draco in my life, and I am sure he needs me too.

I hugged him again.

"What was that for?" he asked as we pulled away.

"I needed to finish my therapy." I smiled.

He looked confused for a minute, though he seemed to understand after a few moments. "Me too."
