A Losing Game

6. New Sensations 🩹

(Narrator's Pov)
Aurelia knew the exact moment it hit him.
There was no hiding what she's done.

Draco walked over to her, and looked
into her eyes. Aurelia stared up at him, and crossed her legs.

"Aurelia, please tell me what you did."
Draco's voice was demanding, but not angry.

He was calm on the outside, but his insides turned. He's never witnessed anything like this, he had no idea what to do.

Aurelia was ashamed. She didn't want Draco seeing this. In fact Draco was the last person she wanted with her.

Aurelia shook her head and bent down.
She sat against the wall, and put her knees up, making sure her thighs were covered.

"I need you to tell me what you did."
"I don't need to tell you anything!" She yelled.

"Aurelia please stand up, I'm not gonna ask you twice."

"No." Said Aurelia.
Her voice shook, and she closed her eyes.

Draco knew she hated being touched, but this was something bigger.

"I don't wanna have to do this, but you're giving me no choice." Said Draco.

He went to grab her waist, but she pushed him back. Aurelia stood up, and her body trembled.

"Please pull your shorts up." Said Draco.
He was very careful with his wording.

Telling her to pull her shorts down could've made it seem like he had the wrong intentions.

And that was the last thing on his mind.

"Draco you know what I did, you don't need to see it."

"I need to see the damage. I don't know if I need to take you to get stitches, or if it'll heal on its own." Said Draco.

Draco felt responsible for this.

Aurelia never confirmed it, but Draco had his suspicions this was his fault.

The cuts weren't on her forearms, or waist, they were on her thighs.

The one place Draco picked apart.

Draco sighed, and got on his knees.
He grabbed her shorts, and rose them slightly.

"Don't go higher!" Yelled Aurelia.
He didn't need to, he saw it all.

Two big cuts along her inner thighs.
Draco closed his eyes, and tried composing himself. He imagined all the pain she felt because of him.

It was so bad that she hurt herself.

He opened his eyes, and gently dragged his thumbs over the cuts.

It took everything in Aurelia not to cry, and she let out a gasp.

"God Aurelia." Whispered Draco.

This situation was equally uncomfortable for the both of them. They both felt helpless.

Draco took his hands off of her, and asked the question neither of them wanted to hear.
