Georgina's POV
I walked up to the astronomy tower slowly tears burning my vision- my boyfriend of two years was breaking down and wouldn't talk to me. He was hiding so many things and I just wish I could help him. As I got to the top I saw his tall figure hunched over gripping onto the railing, his shoulders trembling as he cried. He was carrying the weight of the world on him... he was only a boy. He didn't deserve anything that happened to him. "I want it gone" he whimpered to himself. He sounded like a lost puppy and it broke my heart into a million pieces "what do you want gone?" I asked, my tone gentle as I stared at him. He swiftly turned around and stared at me his body tense. The bags under his eyes were horrendous. It looked like he hadn't been sleeping for months... "Draco..." I murmured concerned for him "what" he snapped his eyes darkening as his top lip curled up into a snarl as tears formed in his eyes "don't you see what I am?! I'm a fucking monster" he cried his hands trembling by his sides. I took slow steps towards him until I was eye to eye with him "dray" I murmured watching a tear trickle down his colourless cheek. I cupped his cheek and quickly wiped the tear away but he pushed my hand away "I don't want your sympathy... you need to go... I don't want to be with you anymore... you'll get hurt" he said his lips trembling and I felt like I had been shot in the heart multiple times "Draco you don't mean that" I whispered watching as his act he was holding up was so very close to breaking "Draco please don't push me away" I whispered taking his hand in mine and lacing our fingers together making him look at me for the first time... he looked petrified... he was lost and didn't know how to ask for help. "Draco don't lie to me anymore" I said softly yet sternly watching as he removed my grip from him and he stared numbly at me "the truth?" He murmurs and I nod "the truth" I repeated and he nodded before his hand grips the sleeve of his blazer and he pulls it up revealing the dark mark "Draco..." I whispered my eyes filling with tears "why-why?" He stared down at the ground "if I didn't he would've killed my family" he whispered and I wasted no time in throwing my arms around him and holding onto him. Little did I know that was the one thing that made his emotions hit him like a tsunami. His legs buckled underneath him as he became weak "I-I can't do this anymore" he cried softly the vulnerability he was showing at this specific time made my heart break and I just wish I could help him in some way "I just want this damned mark gone!" He said, raising his voice slightly. He barely showed any emotions.... to anyone... especially me... so it was a surprise that he even opened up to me. "I need it gone" he whimpered before he collapsed onto the ground and looked at the dark mark with hatred, his nails starting to violently scratch at his arm "Draco!" I yelled watching as blood appeared from how vicious he was being "Draco you're going to hurt yourself!" I quickly grabbed his wrists forcing his wrists apart so he couldn't hurt himself "Draco" I spoke calmly, my heart racing "breathe with me" he made him look into my eyes before I began taking exaggerated breaths to get him to follow and eventually he did his grip on me tightening as he looked at me and all I saw was a boy who chose the wrong choices... "I can make your dark mark disappear" I spoke softly and he looked at me a little bit of hope appearing in his eyes and a ghost of a smile appeared on his lips before it disappeared "really? Don't j-joke around with me" he whispered his voice cracking and I shook my head slowly "I'm not joking I promise" I said quietly but loud enough for him to hear and he nodded. I stood up and held my hand out for him. He grabbed my hand and I pulled him up, lacing our fingers together before I walked down the stairs with him. "Save your tears" I said to him softly "don't cry babe" I said quietly and he wiped his cheeks "I'm not crying" he said gruffly. I sighed before pulling him up to my dorm. I shut my room door shut before pushing him onto my bed and grabbing my makeup bag "show me your wrist" I spoke softly and he did as I asked. I sat beside him and made him hide his face in the crook of my neck before I grabbed some foundation and covered the dark mark with the foundation and began blending it to match the same colour of his pale but warm skin. I watched as the mark disappeared and I smiled softly "there" I said and he pulled away and glanced down his eyes widening in surprise before he lets out a humourless but thankful laugh "thank you" he whispered gulping as he stared down at it "it's gone" he mumbled his quivering hands slowly stopped shaking and he pulled me in for a hug. A real hug that he didn't give often. It was one of those hugs that made you feel warm inside "I love you dray" I whispered knowing he needed to hear that. "I love you too" he said, that made me smile as I could hear in his voice that he was smiling... I was his solitude and I was the person that could actually help him and I would do anything for him to make sure he didn't have to go through this alone... I would stay with him forever.
