I tried to be perfect, It just wasn't worth it, Nothing could ever be so wrong, It's hard to believe me, It never gets easy, I guess I knew that all along, If you believe it's in my soul, I'd say all the words that I know, Just to see if it would show, That I'm trying to let you know, That I'm better off on my own-Pieces: Sum 41

I leant against the door tears streaming down my face. "Drusilla! What's wrong?" Clarissa cried. I fell into her arms crying hysterically. "Minnie... Well..." "Draco cheated on you?" I nodded and sniffed. "Minnie said everything he told me was a lie and well... Today he said that he loved me." "Oh My God!" Clarissa gasped "What did you say!" "Nothing I just freaked out... but... Oh god Clarissa I love him" I sobbed. "How can you love Malfoy!" Melinda snorted appearing with Hermione next to Clarissa. "Look... I know you guys think he's a jerk and a sleaze and whatever, especially you two." I motioned to Hermione and Melinda "And I don't blame you, I mean to be fair, he's said some horrible things to Hermione." I admitted begrudgingly. "By the way Draco never finds out I just admitted that... but... He's... Oh god he's beautiful..." I sighed. Melinda raised an eyebrow at me. "I've seen a side to him that you guys haven't... and... he makes me feel sexy and wanted and that makes me so happy." "He makes lots of other people very unhappy." Melinda mumbled. "Yer well that might not mean anything to you, but it means the world to me." I growled tears filling my eyes. I could then tell by the looks in their eyes that they all understood. "And he's damn sexy too..." I added. Melinda rolled her eyes. "Oh Drusilla..." sighed Clarissa. "What are you going to do?" "Well if he was lying he won't want me back now." I sighed. "And if he hasn't?" "Well... I sorta showed him up in fronta his mates sooo..." Everyone winced. "Don't worry, if he meant what he said he'll come after you." "I doubt it." I sighed. "Remember this is Draco Malfoy." Melinda told Clarissa. "How did I get myself into this!" I groaned falling to my knees in despair. I started crying again. "C'mon Dru, just go get some sleep, your head will be clearer in the morning." Clarissa hushed. She pulled me off the ground and with the help of Hermione and Melinda took me back to the Slyterin common room.
I couldn't sleep a wink that night and I couldn't eat in the morning. My eyes were red and swollen from crying and my hair and make-up askew. When Draco joined the table I got dizzy and nearly fell off my seat. I was so alone. Sally was now best friends with Minnie and they'd lost all intrest with me and were instead flirting shamelessly with Draco. I stood up feeling weak. I noticed Mel, Hermione, Ron and Harry giving me sympathetic looks from the Gryffindor table. I sighed knowing I looked a mess. I walked out of the hall. I couldn't muster the motivation to go to lessons where I knew Draco would be so I stayed in bed crying instead.
I awoke feeling sicker and tireder than before, this carried on for the next few weeks. I'd often wake up in the hospital wing because I'd passed out in lessons. I'd literally become lovesick.
I walked back to the common room after being dismissed from the hospital wing. I shuffled along looking at my feet lost in my thoughts. 'I love him so much it's untrue' my head sobbed. 'Then talk to him... I can't it'd kill me' I started crying and feeling dizzy as I pictured Draco's face. I fell forward. I felt someone catch me as I crashed into them. I clung to the person. I was sure I could hear sniffling but I wasn't sure whether it was my own or someone elses as my head was spinning. I closed my eyes to stop crying and try and regain my balance.
