I didn't proof read so there might be mistakes just point it out if u see it.

This might be cheesy but imma give u a song to play at a certain part so when you see "play song" play it. I just feel like this song needs to be played for you to get the whole experience LMFAO

Collette POV

I woke up from the worst nightmare I have ever had. It was just Draco and what he did to me replaying over and over again.

I sit up shaking and crying but I turn to my side to see Neville slowly waking up. I shouldn't have woken him
Up.

He sits up slowly adjusting to the situation.

"Hey Cole Cole what's wrong are you okay?" He pulls both my shaking hands into his wiping away my tears.

I shake my head no and start crying more and he slowly pulls me into his side.

"It's okay don't worry you are safe I promise I won't let anyone ever hurt you okay"

I nod still shaking from the reoccurring memory of Draco.

"N-Neville but what if I killed draco. I don't think I could live with myself if I killed him" it was true. Although Draco did terrible things to me if I kill someone I couldn't live with myself.

"Well you didn't kill him. Technically if he is dead I killed him-" nevilles voice breaks at the end of that sentence.

"Hey." I pull his face between my hands to make him look at me. I could see it in his eyes he didn't want to be a killer. He just wanted to protect me. He was in raged by what Draco had did to me.

"Neville you are my protector. You saved me from what could have been the rest of my life with Draco. I can't thank you enough for that. You saved me killer or not i will always be grateful for you." I try and give him my best smile that I could at the moment.

"Thank you Collette. I will always protect you no matter what."

I hear small taps at the window.

"It's raining" I smile. I love the rain.

"I love the rain." He says matching my thoughts.

"Wanna go out in the rain" I grab his hand.

"Let's do it" he stands up off the bed.

"Wait let me give you something" he walks over to his dresser pulling out a grey sweater. "Here put this on so you don't get cold" he hands be the sweater and I slip it on. It was very warm and smelled just like him.

OKAY PLAY THE MF SONG BESTIE

I step out into the cold rain in nothing but my pjs.

Neville just behind me I run out into the courtyard.

The courtyard was a ghost town. Not surprising since it was about 2am.

I twirl around into rain feeling as alive as I have in a while.

I start laughing as I get soaked in water

I see Neville standing there looking at me with the biggest grin.

"WELL COME ON!" I yell to him.

I lay down in the wet grass as water hits my whole body drenching my clothes.

I lay there until I see Neville standing above me.

I stand back up laughing and giggling.

"This is the most happiness I have felt in two months." The smile on my face never disappearing.

"I was thinking the same thing." He stares into my eyes.

My smile slowly fades as I stare back.

My heart starts beating faster as he leans closer to me.

I glance down to his lips.

He leans in until out forhead a are touching the rain drenching us as we stand here.

I make the last move connecting our lips.

Our lips move in sync. I pull him closer by putting my hands on the side of his face.

He wraps his arms around my waist arching my back slightly as we continue to kiss.

We finally pull away to catch our breathe.

The smile I had slowly creeps back up on my face.

He grins at what had just happened.

We stand in the rain staring into each other's eyes feeling more alive then I have ever in my whole life.

After Draco I knew it wasn't going to get better. I knew that after Draco the pain would never fade. But all pain had a drug that can numb it. Neville was my drug.

And I was addicted.

I love hi-

"I love you" almost as if he was reading my thoughts.

Neville loves me.

"I love you too" I could feel the blush on my cheeks even in the cold rain in the dark.

Neville POV

I was on cloud nine at this point. I felt like I could run and never stop. My heart is beating out of my chest.

I forgot we were standing in the cold rain and I didn't care.

Collette it's you.

I love you Collette.
