Silently Screaming For Help

|Chapter 113 : Countertops|

I heard feet coming down the steps as I jumped up off my bed

"Draco I swear to god if that's you I'm going to kick your arse that hard you won't be able to sit for a week" I seethed as the lock glowed and the door opened revealing Blaise standing in the doorway

"Don't you dare try kicking me" he warned, causing a smile to appear on my face as he passed me my wand

"What happened to your-?"

"Never mind about that. Where's Draco?"

"He hasn't came out of the dorm- why?" He asked but I ignored him as I slipped past and jogged up the steps before making my way down the boys steps as I knocked on the door before pushing the handle down finding it locked, flicking my wand the lock clicked as I creeped inside and shut the door behind me as I turned to his bed finding the side that were in view of the door had the curtains drawn around as I walked towards his bed

"Draco?" I asked quietly as I looked around the side of the curtains and found the bed empty while quiet noises came from the bathroom as I knocked on the door before walking in

"What the fuck?!" I yelled as he turned to me with fresh blood running down the side of his head as I looked at the bruising on his skin as I made my way over

"What the hell happened?" I asked as I took his hand in mine and looked at the bruised and bloody knuckles as drops of water fell from his hair and landed on my arm as I looked up at him

"Could've been worse" he told me quietly as he tore away from my gaze and looked at the mirror while I continued to stare at the cut on the side of his head and the small bruise that was forming under his eye

"Draco, what happened?" I asked again as we stared at each other in the mirror silently

"You didn't..."

"I did" he answered back to me as I smacked his back

"You bastard!" I yelled at him as I repeatedly hit his back

"I was handling it and now look at what you've gotten yourself into! Look at you!" I said loudly as I dropped my hands

"You weren't handling it, you were shutting everyone out and I wasn't going to stand around and do nothing when he was abusing you" he retorted with a harsh tone to his voice as I fell quiet and he did too as I took his hand again and took my wand out as I started to heal the cuts

"What're you doing?"

"Helping" I told him quietly as I took his other hand and done the same as he watched

"Why?"

"Because I need to- and these look pretty painful"

"You're one to talk-"

"Shush" I said to him with a small smile as I finished and looked up to him as I tilted his head around before cursing

"What?"

"You're too tall" I grumbled before hopping up on the counter as I started to heal the side of his head

"Why do you have to be so tall? How are you so tall?"

"I don't have a secret if that's what you're wondering" he told me with a quiet laugh as he glanced at me with a small smirk

"That's not the answer I was wanting, but you haven't answered my first question"

"Well, I guess it has its advantages" he answered with the same smirk as he gave a slight shrug

"I mean.... that still doesn't answer my first question but come on then Malfoy, what advantages are we talking of?" I asked looking at him as I finished healing his head while he turned and faced me fully

"Many things" he answered simply before leaning forward as he brushed his lips against mine and a slight smell of mint took over me while I stared at him wide eyed as I felt my face grow warm before he pulled me into a kiss and I let my eyes close shut as his hand brushed the hair from my face and tucked it behind my ear while an unfamiliar feeling of butterflies erupted in my stomach as he rested his hand on my waist and pulled me towards him as I wrapped my arms around his neck, feeling the water from his hair run down my arms as I pulled back, both of us slightly terrifying breathless as he rested his forehead against mine as a smile broke out on our faces. Moving his hand from my neck he tilted my head up before bringing me into another kiss as his hand ran down my back before resting against my waist as my mind went blank as we pulled apart a couple of moments later with smiles

"I've been wanting to do that for far too long" he said quietly with what sounded like a slightly embarrassed laugh as our eyes locked, grey on grey as thoughts rapidly ran through my head

"Oh god- I'm sorry" I apologised to him in a whisper as I took my hands away from the back of his neck and carefully slipped down from the counter as I left the room with my face ablaze

"Lia? Wait" he called out as he walked out the bathroom while I shut the dorm door and heard him swear as I made my way up the steps with my head down as I walked into someone and stumbled back slightly

"Are you alright?" Blaise asked as I looked up at him and nodded

"Sorry" I mumbled to him quietly as I stared down at my feet

"What's up?"

"Nothing, can I get past please?" I asked quietly glancing up as he stepped to the side and I left, climbing the stairs with my hands in my pockets as he stared after me

"Lia?"
