The light from the sky was carried away by the night. I sat in bed next to my window, drawing my knees up to my chest and resting my cheek on it as I watched the moon light up this school.

Before the door could open, a voice called out, "Hey," and I turned to see Hazel standing there.

I replied in a faint, whispery voice, "Hey," turning my head away.

"Are you sure you don't want to eat anything?" Hazel spoke softly as she took a seat on the bed behind me.

I shook my head in return but said nothing. I felt Hazel had placed her chin on my shoulder.

"Do I have to make a lame joke in order for you to smile?" Hazel spoke as she encircled me in her arms. "No one knows what happened or if you had anything to do with it, so don't worry about it, come on, everything will be great."

After everything that happened, Malfoy taking the blame instead of me, it was best to let the situation get handled by him even though I still don't trust him I had no option here.

"No...it's just-"

"It's just what?" Hazel asked, tilting her head to better see my face.

"Nott, he got hurt because of me," I said as I rose from the bed, drawing Hazel's gaze as I came to a halt a few steps away from Hazel.

"I'm not sure if I should say this, but he kind of deserved it," Hazel shrugged her shoulders.

"No, Haz, I nearly killed him. I nearly killed someone," Again. My words shuddered as they left my mouth.

"What happened exactly there again?" Hazel say and furrowed her eyebrows.

"It was like a volcano inside of me that I couldn't stop erupting. I was boiling with rage and-and when he said he was going to break up with me because his family said so I was so hurt and it was as if I wanted him to feel the pain that was beating on me like a drum-" As I dared to look at Hazel, my steps came to a halt. As I recalled the incident, tears threatened my eyes, and I sighed loudly, covering my face with my hands and letting out a sob.

"I don't know what to do-" I sobbed, Hazel stood up and wrapped her arms around my frail figure.

"It's okay, it's okay," Hazel comforted me as she tightened my hug.

I hugged her back tightly. The sobs I released shook my body and my shoulders heaved up and down, as if my body couldn't handle the amount of emotions that were rushing through me at that moment.

My arms trembled as they hung on to her figure, clinging to Hazel as if she was the only thing that gave me comfort. My voice was reduced to a murmur as I spoke between sobs. "What if I hurt someone again- What if I lose control again?"

"It's ok, you won't," Hazel whispers in a low voice as she holds me tight

"You won't, I promise," She adds as she lets go of me, her hands holding me by my shoulders.

For a moment I want to believe her so bad, but I have no idea if I can ever believe myself to keep myself in control.
