Chapter 15

Draco and Hermione walked to the portrait

"Dragons wrath" they said in unison

The portrait hole opens and Draco hastily brings her to his room.

"Listen. Yes I do cut and I don't want you to flip out right now. But you can ask as many questions as you want."

"Flip out? How can I not?"

"Just calm down. Breathe" Draco said calmly

"Okay… when did you start?

"Since I was 11 I think…"

"Why?"

"Because it took away everything…."

"Everything?" Hermione said softly

"My fears, my desires, my self doubts, and mostly my anger…I hate my life! I can't stand living each day knowing that I have no future… I may be smart but it's no use when you live a life that I do. I'm never going to feel love! I can't every have total trust! I can't do anything okay?"

"What are you talking about Draco? I'm still here and I will always be here just like Terry and Justin!"

"NO YOU WON'T!YOU DON'T GET IT! YOU CAN TURN YOUR BACK ON ME ANY SECOND! YOU CAN TELLL PEOPLE MY SECRETS!HUMANS ARE CAPABLE OF LIEING AND WHAT I HAVE TO LIVE THROUGH IS WORST THEN LIFE ITSELF OKAY? LOOKING AT YOUR EXPRESSION WHEN I TOLD YOU THE SKIM OF MY LIFE YOU LOOKED SICK! I MEAN IF I TOLD YOU EVERYHTING YOU WOULD HAVE DROPPED DEAD! AND THAT'S EXACTLY HOW I FEEL!DEAD! THERES SOME DAYS WHEN I WANTED TO PLUNDGE THE DAGGER INTO MY HEART OR USE AN UNFORGIVIBLE TO KILL ME!I REALLY DID!" Draco shouted

Hermione knew the only way to get through to him was to scream also. He was a stubborn person.

"THEN WHAT STOPED YOU DRACO?"

"MY MOTHER OKAY? SHE LOVES ME LIKE HELL! I CANT PUT HER THROUGH THE MISERY THAT I HAD TO DEAL WITH! MY "FATHER" FUCKIN RAPED HER AND BEAT HER TREATING HER LIKE DIRT! THAT SON OF A BITCH BASICALLY RIPPED MY SOUL INTO SHREDS BEFORE I WAS EVEN BORN! AND I CANT DEAL WITH MY MOTHER SEEEING ME LEAVE THIS WORLD BEFORE SHE DOES!"

"YOU KEEP SECRETS FROM ME THAT'S FINE! YOU LOVE YOUR MOM! IT'S EVEN BETTER BUT YOU HAVE TO GET THROUGH YOUR HEAD THAT PEOPLE CARE ABOUT YOU NOW! AND THE FACT IS THAT TERRY AND JUSTIN ARE YOUR FRIENDS AND SO AM I!"

"I KMOW THAT! BUT LIFE GETS TOOO HARD FOR ME!THERES TOOO MANY THINGS THAT HAPPEN TO ME THAT I CANT FIGURE IT OUT! I MISS OUT ON SO MUCH OF MY LIFE!SO MUCH PRECIOUS TIME THAT I LOST!

"PEOPLE CARE DRACO!SOME MORE THEN OTHERS!"

"WHAT?"

"I LOVE YOU! So just don't hurt yourself okay?" Hermione's voice went lower

OH MY GOD…DID I JUST SAY THAT?DO I REALLY LOVE HIM? I THINK AFTER KNOWING HIM HE GOT TO ME… I THINK I LIKE HIM…OR IS IT LOVE….I REALLY CAN'T BELIEVE I SAID THAT

"You love me?" Draco said seriously

"I think I do" Hermione said

They were on the bed and they stared at each other catching each others gaze. Then and there they were spilling their hearts out to each other just by looking at into each others eyes… (Needed some mushy moments)
