My blood

Chapter 7 :D

I entered the water at what felt like 100 miles an hour. As I plummeted into the freezing water, the cold speared into me like a million icy daggers.

I began to panick, thrashing around, doing whatever I could to keep my head above the water.

"Harry, help!" I yelled just before I got my last gulp of air.

All the energy was suddenly drained from me and I stopped struggling. I stopped trying. This is what I wanted wasn't it? This would set me free.

So I began to sink down further and further in the water and soon, out of consciousness.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harry's POV.

I tried to grab her, but she was already falling down, down into the water.

I stood there, not quite believing what had just happened........

I'd lost her. I'd lost her before I could open up and tell her everything I had bottled up inside, so I could tell her when the time was right. I loved her.....

And now she'll never know.

I'd only bullied her to get her attention, I only bullied her because I liked her! How stupid was that?!?!?!

I was suddenly snapped out of my thoughts with someone calling my name.

Lucy!!! Without a second thought, I jumped into the river. I had to save her.

The cold hit me like a ton of bricks. Instantly I began looking for her.

Not too far away, I saw her limp body, slowly sinking.

I swam over as fast as I possibly could and wrapped my arms around her waist. I began kicking, swimming up.

She weighed barely anything!!

As soon as we got above water, I swam over to the side. I gently laid her on the ground.

I hovered above her, soaking wet. She looked so beautiful, as she always did. She looked so young, and peaceful. I took her pulse..... There was nothing.

Panicking, I began to press down on her chest in my efforts to perform CPR. No matter what I did, it wasn't working.

After about 2 minute of my attempt at CPR, I gave up. I had to.

I took her in my arms and cradled her lifeless body. Tears welled up in my eyes. Why couldn't I save her? That's what happened in all the fairy tales right?

Her life seemed kinda like Cinderella, so why couldn't I be her Prince Charming?

I pulled her close and held her tight.

All of a sudden I heard her cough......

She was alive!!!! I wanted to jump up and do a little dance, just laugh and smile because it was all going to be okay. But I'm not doing that in public. That can wait for later.

"harry?" she mumbled gently, staring into my eyes, searching for answers.

"I'm here. Everything is going to be fine, I promise" I whispered, tears welling up again. Oh god I'm so soppy!

"did you jump in after me?!" she asked in disbelief. "you didnt let me die?" she mumbled quietly to herself, confusion lacing her features.

"of course I didn't let you die! Why could I do that?"

"b-but you hate me! You wanted me to die! You and your friends are the whole reason it got so bad! Why did you jump in?!" she demanded, getting angry. She freed herself from my grip and began walking away.Uh oh.

"Lucy, I have something to tell you." I yelled, racing after her. Boy, she moved fast!

"what?!" she almost growled and she spun around to face me.

"I-uh...." no matter how I tried I couldn't get those words out. I just couldn't.

"well spit it out!" she snapped. So I told her.

"I love you."
