"Damn, my life can get worse than it already is," Hermione said as she started to find her clothes and put them back on. Draco was looking all around the room for his clothes; he finally found his shirt hanging on one of Hermione's picture frames.
"I'm sorry. I didn't exactly plan on this happening or else I would have brought one," Draco said, throwing his shirt back on. He saw Hermione's eyes drift and look at the picture that he just picked his shirt off of; it was a picture of her and a guy with brown hair. He guessed it was one of her ex-boyfriends that or a close muggle friend of hers. When he looked back up Hermione was wiping away another tear.
"Don't cry, please don't cry. I don't like seeing you like this, it tears me apart," Draco said walking over and putting his arms around Hermione to comfort her. Hermione pushed him away and started screaming at him, "Don't you get it! What happens if you didn't pull out in time?! I can't raise a child on my own! GOD KNOWS THAT YOU WON'T HELP BECAUSE OF YOUR PARENTS!
"I will help you, Hermione. Don't be so quick to judge me. Even if my parents said that I couldn't see you anymore I still would. I wasn't lying a couple of minutes ago when I said that I loved you," Draco said calmly to Hermione. Her eyes showed the shock that she felt inside when he said that last sentence. Draco walked toward the door and took a glance at Hermione out of the side of his eye.
"I'm sorry, Draco," She said looking down at the ground. Draco turned around and gave her a small smile, "I'll be back tomorrow to see how you are doing." Hermione shook her head ok and sat down on her bed to watch Draco leave. With one last look, Draco walked out of the room.
Hermione sat alone in her room for a while thinking of what she would do if she ended up being pregnant. She was just a child herself, how would she raise a child? Could she even provide for it? What would she do when she left for school and who would take care of it while she was at school? Would she have to drop out and find a job and live as a muggle the rest of her life? These questions raced threw her head all night long. Hermione never thought she would be in this kind of situations, she always thought she would take every precaution when it came to sex. Now she may be a teenage parent with someone she used to hate more that anything else in the world.
Her life had really changed a lot since her parents deaths. Everything she once knew is now gone. Her best friend gets busted doing drugs and then another friend dies and now she may be a mom. But now Hermione thought that she had grown a lot in the past couple of that she may actually be able to handle everything now…well kind of. The whole mom part she didn't know about. Hermione thought to herself that if she was pregnant and she couldn't care for her child then she would give the baby up for adoption. After all, Hermione herself was now a foster child; it wasn't as bad as everyone made it out to be.
"Hermione," someone said. Hermione looked up and saw that Destiny was standing right in front of her. She had been in such a daze that she didn't see her walk in. Destiny kind of had a distant look in her eyes; she also looked like she had been crying.
"Sorry. Destiny, what's wrong," Hermione asked. She scooted over to make room for Destiny to sit next to her. Destiny walked over and sat on the bed and set her head on Hermione's shoulder and let out a sigh.
"I need help," Destiny said. She lifted up her sleeve and showed Hermione an arm full of cuts. They where all up and down her arms, some where almost healed but others where really fresh, Hermione could see four new cuts that where still bleeding all over her arm.
"Don't worry, I'll help you through this," Hermione said. She made Destiny blood promise that she would never cut herself again, no matter how much she was tempted or how bad of a day she had. When Destiny had gone to tend to her new cuts, Hermione went through the room and took out all the sharp objects that she could find. She didn't even leave class in her picture frames because she knew that some people broke the glass just to make a cut on themselves.
Hermione had never felt the urge to cut herself and she never fully understood why someone would want to that to themselves. But over these past couple of weeks she was beginning to understand a little more than she did before. Its not that Destiny wants to hurt herself, it was most likely to let some of the pain that she was holding in out. That or she did it to make sure that she could still feel some sort of pain, even if it was just physically. Some people just need to know that they can still feel something, even if it is only pain.
Destiny came back into the room and changed into her pajamas. Hermione helped Destiny wrap her arm up and then they had a long talk, about why she cut herself. "I do it because there are times that I just can't handle anything. I need to let out my anger, frustration, or even my pain and sadness and I don't know any other way to do it because no one is willing to help me with it," Destiny said. She was starting to cry, just letting the tears fall as they came. She didn't even bother to wipe them away. "It's not something that most people get unless they have done it, but they should be companionate that people, who do cut, they do it for a reason. Not just to get attention or to have someone take pitty on them. That's part of the reason that I did it in the first place. I got tired of telling people what I was feeling because they only felt pitty, they wouldn't help me out only tell me how sorry they where and then they would go on with their lives," Destiny said.
After Destiny had gone to bed, Hermione promised herself that night that she would never let any of her friends go through that, she would always be there for them. It was just then that she suddenly felt very bad for thinking that she didn't care that Ron got arrested for drugs. He needed her to help support him in a time like this and she just turned her back on him. After all he had done for her in the past couple of years and that was how she would repay him. Sure he may annoy her every now and then, but it still didn't justify turning her back on her best friend. Life is hard enough with going through the every day problems of life, but when you best friend turns their back on you it get a lot harder.
Hermione was ashamed of herself for acting the way she did, and now she will have to pay for her stupidity. She may have to raise a child when she herself was still one. Life was about to get a whole lot more complicated for Hermione.
A.N.--------Ok, I'm sorry it took almost a year to update this story…Anyone who has ever cut themselves, I have done it so don't go calling me a poser or saying that I don't know what I am talking about, b/c I do. But I hope you like the new chapter, I'll try to update more often too.
