I looked over to Blaise in despair as he pushed himself off the floor, taking quick steps to follow his best friend, '' I'm —,'' He cooed, standing in the doorway,

'' Go, Blaise,'' I uttered as he continued chasing Draco — I felt the tears pooling in my eyes because Draco had never looked at me like that before out of all the millions of times he'd meet my eyes — this was the time humanity showed and I hurt him — he would never admit it, but I know I did,

My body trembled throughout the hallway as I tried to find them — scared to death of what Draco would do, veins iced as I heard loud cursing from the common room — my sights immediately snapped to the two arguing boys, noticing Draco's hands tensely tugging Blaise's throat, '' Draco — please,'' I begged, running towards them,

My hands flew to pry Draco's off, hearing Blaise's need for oxygen, '' Draco — please stop. You're killing him,'' My cries echoed through the deserted room — but Draco didn't budge, he wouldn't even look at me, his eyes bored through Blaise's with spite, '' Please,''

Draco was too upset, not even noticing that both Blaise and I did everything possible to make him stop — he was too furious, nothing could break through his trance of hatred. My fists repeatedly collided with Draco's figure, doing everything possible for him to snap out of it — for him to stop.

My heart ached to see Blaise being treated this way, '' Nothing happened between us, Draco,'' I uttered, my eyes pooled — tears flooded down my cheeks as Draco's breaths hitched, his neck snapped to mine before an icing cold hand roughly grasped my chin — he stared at me, blue eyes stabbed through mine and then — he forced me back, causing me to stumble back into the glass table,

The sound of my whimper as my body dropped to the floor mixed with the shattered glass flying everywhere caused Draco to snap out of his state, looking at me wide-eyed, '' Shit—'' He cursed as he pushed Blaise back to the couch, kneeling beside me, '' Leiah, I—,''

I felt my body twist in pain as the glass had tore cuts into my tender skin — the pain was overwhelming, fragments of glass embedded in flesh caused blood to flow everywhere — my head felt dizzy, not being used to seeing so much blood, '' Draco—,'' I breathed, looking up at the blonde one. Cold hands wrapped underneath my back and knees before he pulled me up, close to his chest, carrying me towards the stairs,

'' We're not done talking about this,'' He endangered to his best friend, placed on the couch, breathing heavily, with his head buried into his hands, '' I'll deal with you later,''

As Draco carried me up the stairs, he refused to look at me — his touch was warm, caring, but his front looked stone-cold, his slightly damp strands of hair resed perfectly over his temples — dark eyelashes surrounded the blue eyes most breathtakingly — I could see every mesmerizing detail, every perfect flaw embedded into his skin,

Draco placed me onto the sink without a word spoken — he merely looked at me while settling my sore figure on top of the cold marble counter.

A trail of whimpers left my lips as his hands tensed around my skin — he felt scared to cause me any more pain, and by the taste of that, blue eyes met mine as they flashed in regret. I held his minty breaths caressing my face as his eyes traveled down my form — jaws clenched as he looked over the tears in my skin, '' Fucking hell,'' He cursed underneath his breath as he turned away,

The lump increasing in my throat caused my eyes to water, '' It's fine, Draco,'' I uttered, startled to be this close to him, alone — but wasn't scared of Draco — I frightened the state he consumed himself into when the hatred took over, but I didn't fear him,
