I paced my bedroom.

"I'm such an IDIOT!" I said to myself.

I knocked everything off of my vanity. Chance scurried underneath the bed. I hunched over my vanity and slowly looked at myself in the mirror. My face was flushed. My reflection smirked back at me.

"He's the idiot for leaving." My reflection said.

"I messed everything up" I said, bowing my head.

An invisible force lifted my head back up.

"No, he messed everything up. He just walks out on a good thing?" My reflection insisted.

I shook my head.

"Kate... you don't need him." My reflection smirked.

"But I want him." I replied.

"He doesn't want you Kate." My reflection said.

I punched the wall, leaving a slight hole in it.

"He wanted me, until I started taking these fucking pills!" I spat at my reflection.

"And now all we have is each other." My reflection said smugly.

I took off my shoe and threw it at the mirror, shattering it in a thousand pieces.

"I'm not listening to you anymore!" I screamed at the shattered pieces.

"You need me Kate..." a voice hissed in my ear.

"Leave me alone!" I screamed.

I fell to my knees and covered my ears. I felt sick to my stomach. I crawled over to my garbage bin and threw up in it. I felt someone grab my hair and pull my head back.

"You can't make me go away that easily." The voice whispered.

I glanced over and saw myself. Except it wasn't me. This me had all white eyes with black all around the eyes. My red hair was replaced with long black hair with loose curls, the way I did it for the ball.

"We're in this together Katie." it said as it ran its tongue up my cheek.

"Fuck you" I growled.

I tried to pry its hands off of my hair, but it picked me up and turned me around so that we were face to face.

"I own you" it smirked.

Its teeth had sharp edges and were stained yellow and brown. I spat in its face.

"Let go of me!" I demanded.

"Kate... You know I'm not going to do that" It replied.

I kneed it in the stomach and I got out of its grip. I stumbled backwards as it held its stomach.

"You little fucking bitch." It hissed.

Stabbing, sharp pains suddenly started radiating through out my stomach. I grasped my stomach and fell to my knees. The pain ten times worse than before. I heard a soft cackle.

"What's wrong little Katie, not feeling to well?" It asked me, bending over so it was face to face with me again.

"What's going on?" I managed to say threw the pain.

"Looks like you need me after all." It laughed.

"Fuck you" I spat.

"I know what will make it better..." It mocked.

I curled up on the floor. A tiny bag with two pills in it dropped in front of my face.

"It will make the pain stop Kate." it whispered in my ear.

I starred at the pills.

"It will make everything better. It will make all your pain go away Katie." it breathed in my other ear.

It ran its scaly tongue on my earlobe and into my ear. Sweat poured from my forehead, and chills ran threw my body.

"Just take one more Kate... Just one more." it smirked.

"Go away." I replied

"Take one more and I will." it promised.

"I don't want to..." I said as I trembled.

"TAKE ONE MORE" It screamed in my face as its spit hit my face.

"FUCK OFF" I screamed.

I shut my eyes.

"I'm not going away that easily Kate." It smirked.

"Go away" I growled.

"You are NOTHING without me!" It hissed

"Get out"

"I'm the only one who has ever been there for you Kate. You can't just fucking dump me now!"

"GET OUT"

"YOU ARE NOTHING WITHOUT ME"

"GET OUT"

The room fell silent. The pain in my stomach subsided. I lay there, breathing heavily. Chance let out a soft meow from underneath the bed.

"Ch-Chance..." I stuttered.

I slowly looked up; sweat and tears mixed and blurred my vision. I felt a small furry head nudge my hand.

Sunlight beamed into my eyes waking me up. I squinted my eyes and held my hand up to block the sun from my eyes. I rolled onto my stomach and slowly lifted myself from the floor. Pieces of mirror littered my floor.

"Uuughhh" I mumbled flopping back down on my floor.

Chance nudged my head.

"Chancey, not now" I mumbled.

He meowed softly, nudging my head again.

"Chancey..." I whined.

"Kate?" Snape's voice whispered from behind me

My eyes widened. I quickly sat up.

"Professor..." I replied, looked up at him from the floor. "Do you mind explaining all of this?" Snape said raising an eyebrow as he looked around my room.

"I honestly wish I could" I replied with a small smile on my face.

Snape held out his hand to help me up. I slowly grabbed it and he pulled me up.

"Are you alright?" He asked looking around my room.

"Better, now that it's morning." I mumbled.

Snape bent down and picked up the small baggie with two blue pills inside.

"What's this?" He asked holding it up in front of me.

I stared at the pills. It almost seemed like they whispered my name.

"Junk. Garbage... something I don't need." I replied, my eyes still locked on the bag.

Snape closed his fist around the bag and placed it in his pocket.

"Than you don't mind me disposing it?" Snape asked

I shook my head.

"Of course not" I replied with a smile.

Snape placed his warm hand on my cool face.

"You look pale and you're cold. Are you sure you're alright?" Snape asked stepping closer to me.

I wanted to remember the touch of his hand, just for a moment longer.

"Kate?" Snape questioned.

"I'm fine Professor" I replied.

He removed his hand from my face. A hint of disappointment filled my stomach.

"I came here, because I wanted to talk about last night." Snape said sitting on the edge of my bed.

Here it comes, the "talk". I sat down next to him, my hands folded in my lap.

"I know what you're going to say Professor." I said

"You do?" Snape asked.

I nodded my head.

"My behaviour lately as been nothing short of inappropriate. I do not deny your decision to end whatever we have." I said bowing my head.

Snape said nothing.

"I just want you to know that, I am so sorry for the way I've acted." I said, still looking down at my lap.

I saw Snape's hand grab mine. I quickly shot my head up. His dark eyes staring at me intently.

"Kate, that's not what I was going to say at all." Snape replied with a smirk.

"Professor?" I asked.

Snape's lips lightly brushed against mine. My eyes widened with shock. My heart started beating faster. I pushed him away slightly.

"Why did you leave last night?" I asked

"I didn't know how to react. I've never been told by a stunning woman that she wouldn't be good enough for me." Snape replied moving forward to kiss me again.

I stopped him.

"This isn't real. I'm dreaming aren't I?" I asked Snape.

Snape chuckled and shook his head.

"Even if it was a dream, why don't you just enjoy it?" He asked.

I thought about it...Snape got inpatient and his lips claimed mine again. He was right... he is always right. My arms curled around his neck, pulling myself closer to him. His tongue slipped between my lips, gently exploring my mouth. I pulled my mouth away from his.

"Oh god, I'm sorry, I probably have horrible morning breath!" I said covering my mouth.

"Kate, you worry too much. Relax!" Snape insisted.

He lightly brushed his lips against my neck. I tried to stop it, but a small moan escaped my mouth. I quickly covered my mouth.

"I'm sorry Professor!" I said threw my hand over my mouth.

Snape grabbed my hand and pulled it away from my face. He smirked.

"I love every sound that you make Kate." Snape whispered.

"Can we just forget everything that's happened and start again?" I whispered as I placed my hand on Snape's chest.

"No" Snape whispered back.

My stomach clenched.

"I don't want to forget any moment I've had with you." Snape smirked.

"Ugh, not even the really embarrassing ones?" I asked.

Snape lightly kisses my cheek.

"Not even the really embarrassing ones." He said.

I smiled. It was at that moment I realized that I absolutely adored this man.
