NEAR THE END

The pain starts.

"You know earlier you said you were thinking about something," he whispers.
"Yeah."
"What were you thinking about Elizabeth?" He says leaning up on his elbow to talk to me.
"Just what my mother said, that you can't force love, its a force of it own." My face falls down and I can feel the tears coming.
"Oh why?" Draco pushes. His voice full of worry or anger maybe both. I need to keep the tears in otherwise it wont end well.
"Do you think we will last foreve-"
"Don't finish that Elizabeth ." His face flashes with anger and his voice now raised. "What kind of question is that Elizabeth? Do you love someone else?" He isn't letting me answer, I shouldn't of asked. My hand moves to his face and as I go to push his hair of his forehead, he wraps his long fingers around my wrist. "Draco don't that hurts!" I cry. But he doesn't listen.
"Why would you ever ask that Elizabeth is there someone else? I swear to fucking god if I find out there is another!" His voice is getting louder. He scowls at me, but wont let me answer.
"Draco your hurting me stop!"
"You are my property only mine and one else better fucking touch you! You belong to me!" He is full of rage by now and his grip has tightened. I know earlier he was 'marking his territory' but I didn't think of it so literally. "DRACO STOP IT YOUR SCARING ME!" I stand up above him escaping from his grip finally. "I am and will never be anyone's property!" "I didn't mean it like that, really Elizabeth I'm sorr-" I now have the higher ground and am taking advantage. This game has gone on to long.
"I'm sick of this, you thinking you own me Draco. News flash. You don't ok." Wow I didn't expect to say that. To late now. He raises in front of me. "Elizabeth you know what I'm like. I didn't mean it lik-"
"Of course you didn't. You never do," I roll my eyes "you always expect me to let you get away with it. It's an endless fucking cycle. I'm exhausted Draco. I can't keep feeling with your shit. I understand you are insecure but I would only leave you if I had a good reason, like if you ever properly broke me. I'm fed up with it all. Do you ever think about me feeling that way? No I bet you don't. But get something in that little head, I have felt that way ever since we started bloody dating. You and Pansy. She makes me so fucking insecure. Did you ever realise? No you didn't because you thought I was gonna leave." I let out a sigh I hadn't realised I was keeping in. His eyes glimmer over and turn glassy, he's gonna cry. He pulls his hands through his hair as if to try calm himself "Wanna know something? You and I have a special kind of love. Crazy right? But its the kind of love that never dies. Let me tell you something Elizabeth, I got thrown in the deep end of life at a young age. I didn't know how to swim, but all I needed to know was that you will always be there, anywhere, to keep me afloat. The chaos in my life never stops. Sometimes I do though, I stop and look around to see the peace in every situation. My whole life has been nothing but darkness but a soon as you came into my life eight years ago, I have seen a tiny glimmer of light ever since. I have always thought I was nothing. Just a background character in everyone else's story. I could ever please anyone. No matter how hard I tried, whatever I did was simply not enough. Whatever I said was simply not enough. I was simply not enough. But as soon as you, Elizabeth Jane Cooper, had come into my life, I had found the happiness in all my pain." I'm fighting the tears but I can't stop them. My palms cover my face and all I can do is sob. I really mean something to this boy. He pulls me over to him and wraps his arms tight as ever around me. As if Mother Nature can feel the emotions, it starts to buck it down with rain. "Look at me Elizabeth." He says as his single tear turns into multiple. My head lifts up to stare at his cold grey eyes. "I love you Elizabeth and don't you ever forget that," He takes in a single breath "ok?". I nod. "No talk to me Elizabeth."
"I'm sorry Draco I didn't mean to shout at you. I just don't like being someone's property," I sigh and pull away from his embrace "I love you Draco, until the world ends."  The rain gets heavier.

We stand up in the rain and my mascara has run so much. At least an hour has passed, but we just lay here opening up to each other. His fingers grazed up and down my arm while we talked. He really is a gentle giant. A finger wipes under my eyes and a kiss place on my forehead. His shirt is going slightly see through now and my dress is getting close. He places one hand on the small of my back and the other in my hand. I start humming our favourite song 'Skinny love -by Birdy'. Yes its a muggle song but does that matter now. As we starts to slow dance, my head falls onto his chest. The sky starts to turn a royal blue colour and Draco lifts my head up with his hand and whispers, "We really should get back, do you think?"
"Your right lets go," I sigh louder than I should "we need to dry up as well." I take his hand in mine and the rain gets heavier than ever before. We stare at each other, pick up our jumpers, and burst out laughing. "Ready?" He says laughing.
"RUN!" My laugh is uncontrollable. We run hand in hand, faster than ever up to the house.
