Saving Grace

Chapter 6

Grace woke up to the sound of heavy feet quickly pounding against the stone steps leading up to the astronomy tower. Graces body instinctively shoot up and her hands wiped away dry tears and quickly ran through her hair making herself look somewhat prepared for someone to come in.

As if on cue the door swung open and hit the back wall with a slam. There stood a boy, a boy that she was trying so desperately to go unnoticed by. There stood Draco Malfoy. Except he didn't notice her, instead he was desperately searching for something around the room. It wasn't until after he pulled a pack of cigarettes out of a corner and he turned around to walk to the ledge did he see the blue eyed girl with one leg dangling over the edge and the other bent and staring at him confused glare. He looked back at her with a scared look in his own eyes and her glare softened and her lips turned up slightly "you can sit if your willing to share." She said with a sorrowful tone 'what am I saying, I can't let him sit '  she thought.

Draco sat opposite her with a leg dangling over the edge and the other propped up. He offered her a cigarette which she took and sighed a thank you, they both lit them and sat in silence for a few minutes looking at the stars. It was still dark and could only have been about 6 in the morning. "Have you been crying?" The blonde asked with concern in his voice, Grace looked over at his to see his expectation matched the tone in his voice. She was trying come up with an answer " do I look that bad then?" She said in a spat and looked away. Grace could feel the concern radiating off the boy across from her. Tired of the concern she put her cigarette out and flicked it over the edge swiftly standing up, "thanks for the fag." She said as she stormed out of the tower. 

Well that was one great way to start the day.
