d.m - atronomy tower 🖤

⚠️TW⚠️: depression, self harm, talks of suicide and suicidal thoughts

context: it's been over a year since y/n has had a depressive episode

Y/N POV: I haven't been feeling myself recently. I don't know what's wrong with me, whether it was the fact that school has been really rough on me or just the universe turning against me I don't know. I don't know how much longer I can take feeling like a helpless victim. I feel like there's nothing I can do, nothing anyone can do to help me. I just feel so alone, worthless. I'm sitting in my bed staring at the ceiling thinking a lot harder than I probably should be. Draco should be coming over after class. I don't get how he loves me, if he even does. I know I wouldn't. No one does. My mind starts flashing the urge to take myself out of this misery but I try to push those thoughts aside, i'd NEVER make Draco go through the pain of finding my dead body. A genius thought pops into my head, he doesn't have to be the one to find me. I walk into the bathroom and stare into the mirror one last time. This is it. I stare at my room one long minute before walking out of my dorm room and heading towards the astronomy tower.

Draco POV: I'm on my way to y/n dorm i've been waiting all day to see her, I have a sick feeling in my gut and I don't know why. Y/n has been great recently, she's genuinely so lovely to have around. I get to her dorm and let myself in, we've been together long enough it's okay. She's not in here. Weird. I try calling her but she doesn't pick up. The sick feeling in my gut returns at 10 times the pressure. I immediately leave and go on a hunt for her, it's not like her to take off and not pick up when we have plans. I check the library. Nothing. I check with her friends. Nothing. I start to panic, frantically looking around for her.

Y/N POV: Im sitting at the astronomy tower, legs dangling, taking in my last moments. The air feels lovely, it's been a long time since i'm enjoyed the wind. I hear a door slam interrupting my thoughts and I whip my head around to see Draco at the door. His pale, horrified face makes my stomach drop.

Draco POV: The sight of y/n sitting on the ledge of the astronomy tower makes me sick to my stomach, i'm going to throw up i'm sure of it. I have never experienced a heart break like this. I want to help her. I have to help her.

Y/N POV: I break down as I feel Draco pulling me back over the ledge and into the ground in his arms. We stay like that for a good 10 minutes in silence until he speaks up quietly with a scratchy voice. "you can't. you can't leave me. you're all i have. I will do anything and everything in my power to help you out of this. anything my love". My tears slow and I apologize over and over. I don't know what I was thinking. After a while of sitting in each other's embrace we go back to my dorm and he stays the night, comforting me. From that night forward he kept me close, never giving me chance to question his love for me. I never felt alone again after that. He saved me. He saved me in every way I could've been saved and I will always love him for that.

you are NEVER alone. If you ever feel like this just know there is always someone who scares about you and will be so happy you chose to get help.
