Tw: alcoholism, drug abuse, general depression, and mental health problems

Im kind of a mess right now, and a lot of things aren't so good. Mentally unstable things 😃👍. But I wanted to write a little a bit of insight on my life currently, so this is based on a true story🐱🐱.

In summary, writing is the only way I know how to cope with my entire world crumbling around me 🥰😄.
This isn't a smut, I know that's what most of you want, but its a rant about my own bullshit, I'm sorry.

The room felt so closed in, and I felt like I couldn't breathe. Everything was just too much, to the point where I left. I needed to go somewhere, God knows where, but somewhere. I pulled out my phone and texted him, I knew I shouldn't, and I knew I would only get hurt if I did. But I couldn't help it.

While walking down the dark road, the cool air causing goosebumps to arise on my skin, I texted him. It was one text, and that one text was enough for an avalanche to creep towards me.

Hey, Tom?

What?

Can I come over? Everything's getting to me right now.
I need you.

Of course, I'm at the apartment

Be there soon

I didn't feel the condensation in the air, the way my hair frizzed slightly while walking in the dead of night. With walking, I knew I wouldn't arrive until about 2 AM. I wasn't focused on that, I was just in my own thoughts, the darkness fueling a bit of sadistic happiness inside of me.

I was only 14, this shouldn't be so intoxicating to me, but the thrill, the adrenaline. Knowing that I could get kidnapped, caught, or my parents could walk into my room and wouldn't notice how long I have been gone makes me feel light headed. The urge to jump off of every bridge i passed was odd, something I hadn't experienced since I was in a relationship with one of my toxic exes. But the thought still came to mind.

I reached a gas station, and smiled at the man, him smiling back through thick glasses. We exchanged a few kind words, until I got a text from the one and only Slytherin king.

I didn't exactly as he asked, I waited outside of a muggle secondary school. The lights were all off, and it looked large, not near as large as Hogwarts, but it would suffice to hold over 800 kids. I was caught up in the sight of the building, that I didn't notice his presence behind me, until he pulled me back and I crashed into his chest. I gasped quickly, and almost screamed until I noticed his scent.

"Tom, you bloody devil," I turned around in his arms and hugged him. He picked me up off the ground in response, holding me so close I feared I may become a part of him. "I missed you, you twat," we were only friends, but I wanted to be so much more than that. His warm body fueled a certain excitement i hadnt experienced since winter break started, my arms pulling his neck even closer.

"I missed you too, and I know its cold... but.. I saw a really inviting pool a little while back. Ayla and I were planning on using it a couple months ago, but I believe you and I will have a lot more fun." I adored his accent, and the fluctuations in his voice as he began walking back towards his flat. I kiss the side of his neck softly, burying my face into the crook of his neck.
