"Hey, are you awake?"

It felt like I couldn't breathe. I had never felt like this before. What was happening to me? I was struggling to catch my breath, and I was unable to control the silent tears running down my face. I didn't even know where I was going, but before I knew it, my legs were carrying me out of the room.

I found myself sprinting up the stars to the astronomy tower. I banged the door open and was met with a shocked, yet confused look from someone I knew to be Malfoy.

"Hey, what's happened?" He came striding towards me. "Hey, are you ok? Calm down, it's ok."

I tried to reply, but I could push the words out of my mouth no matter how hard I tried. Before I knew it, he had pulled me into a tight, yet gentle, hug.

"Shhh," He coed. "It's ok." He let go and pulled me over to a bench. "Ok. Follow my breaths." He took a deep breath in, and out.

I attempted to copy it, but it didn't calm me down. "Ok, how about we try this." He picked up her hand with his, slowly tracing his finger in-between hers. "When my finger is going up yours, breathe in, when it goes down, breathe out. Ok, go."

His finger went up mine, making me breathe in. It was shaky, but it was working. As it slowly traced back down again, I breathed out.

I traced my finger in between Y/n's, watching her as she slowly calmed her breaths. "It's ok. Your safe, no one can hurt you."

Her hands began to stop shaking, however, I didn't say anything as I didn't want to stress her out. As I was calming her down, I noticed some etching scrunched up in her hand. It was a letter.

"Hey, what this?" I gently uncrunched her once-clenched fists to reveal the letter and read it through once.

I knew how she felt. My parents have tried to divorce countless times but were unable to as it was an arranged marriage. "Oh, y/n..."

Her breathing was calm now, so I pulled her into a hug. She hid in my chest as I held her tightly.

***
It had been almost twenty minutes, but we didn't move. I was beginning to think she had fallen asleep because of how still she was.

"Hey, are you awake?" I mumbled. No answer. I decided in the end to just take her back to her dorm.

I woke up feeling well-rested for the first time in ages. Slowly, I glanced at the clock beside my bed. It read half past four in the afternoon. End of school already?

Suddenly, I realised; How did I get to my bed earlier? I didn't remember even coming back from the astronomy tower since Draco apologize for last night.

But then it all came to me. The letter, the divorce, Draco, the crying, and me falling asleep on him. Did he bring me here? Did he ask Daphne too? Or maybe Hermione?

I decided to just go back to sleep. I couldn't be bothered to think about my parents right now, especially after the letter.

***
"Y/n, wake up!" I opened my eyes to be met with Hermion sat on the end of my bed with a gentle hand on my arm. "You missed dinner, so I brought you up some food. You don't need to eat it all but definitely eat something."

"I'll eat later, but right now I'm really tired, so I'm just gonna to sleep." She sighed, placing the food on the floor next to my bed as she stood up.

"Make sure you eat before bed. Love you."

"Love you too."
