Look at Me
"Look at me, Father," your three year old says, proudly holding up the lopsided portrait of you he spent two hours painting.
"Father's busy, Draco," comes your reply.
Look at me now, Father, your thirteen-year-old thinks as he takes his first shot of firewhiskey, on the floor of a dark dormitory, surrounded by his "friends".
"Look at me, Father," your five year old calls from outside your third story study window, having finally tamed his first broomstick.
"Not now, Draco," comes your reply.
Look at me now, Father, your fifteen-year-old thinks as he brings a half a straw to his right nostril and snorts his first line of cocaine.
"Look at me, Father," your seven year old whispers, concentrating on the quill he's successfully managed to levitate.
"Go show your mother, Draco," comes your reply.
Look at me now, Father, your sixteen-year-old thinks as he drops to his knees in a dark alley, in front of a man he met half an hour ago.
"Look at me, Father," your ten year old begs, holding out the worm he's transfigured from a piece of thread.
"That's disgusting, Draco! Remove it from my sight, immediately," comes your reply.
Look at me now, Father, your seventeen-year-old thinks as he draws a red line across his wrist with his favorite razorblade…
"Please, look at me, Father," he pleads, hugging himself in his bed, fighting back the tears.
Please…he thinks as he falls to the tiled green floor of the Slytherin bathroom…please…as the strength leaves his body in crimson tears…please…as the world grows dark…as his heart slows down…as his body lies still…Look at me…
Feech's Note: This is going to sound really dorky but I got the idea for this from one of those anti-drug commercials. Snort. So, what's your anti-drug?
Feech's More Recent Note: Thanks to all who have already reviewed me! I forgot how good it feels to be reviewed. All of your positive energy makes me feel like I'm worth something again! I'll try to be better with updating and writing and stuff like that. And we all know my summaries suck so, I'm thinking I should just pay someone to write them for me. Peaches!
