scorpius x rose one-shots and drabbles

chapter six ;; all of the drugs she takes at night

AN: yes hello, I am updating once again and not being lame :D but anyway, hey here's this weird and dumb drabble I came up with during english class one day. It'll prolly be really bad and I know like nothing about drugs rip

The little white pills bounced down the open drain of the sink, a strangled cry escaping the woman's throat. She gripped the edge of the sink, slowly moving to where she was sitting on the cold, linoleum floor. Tears were streaming down on her face as she leaned forward slightly, nothing to really catch her under the sink due it being just resting on the wall, and only the fact that her arms were pressed against the edge of the porcelain sink was keeping her somewhat upright. Scorpius stood by the sink, eyes widened and breathing uneven as he watched the redhead. An empty orange pill bottle was grasped in his left hand, bent ever so slightly at the force of his grip.

He only moved when Rose did, moving to the ground to catch her before she fell to it. He shifted a bit on his knees, adjusting her so she was sitting up.

"Rosie?" He asked, wanting her to look at him. She didn't, however.

What she did do was claw the empty bottle from his fingers, an odd noise escaping her when she looked at it. Scorpius let her take the bottle, knowing there wasn't anything in it that she could take anymore. He watched as she wiggled away from him, or more of rolled, now laying on the floor with her back to him. Scorpius just stared at her, feeling a range of emotions bubble up in him.

He didn't feel much like the hero anymore. Even when he had a moment ago, it didn't feel right. He felt rather sad now. The Malfoy had known something was wrong with Rose for a while. She wasn't acting normal, was moody and distant, and had recently been spending a lot more time a with a few muggle folks (one of which had been a man Scorpius disliked, and was honestly jealous of). The muggles seemed odd to him, dressed in ridiculous ways, and always thought they looked suspicious, and he was right to think it. They had hurt Rose, or more have gotten her to hurt herself. Anger started to push past the sadness he felt, starting to think about what one of them could have done to Rose, what she probably hadn't told him. She hadn't spoken much of anything for a long time, not since this started, he guessed. They didn't share things like before.

This had been a surprise, even though Scorpius had expected something like it. After Rose had disappeared from her cousin's flat, where a small get together was being held, he was worried. She had been snappy and gotten emotional after Lily pointed it out, then left. Of course, Scorpius followed, wanting to make sure she was alright. When he found her in the bathroom with the muggle painkillers, he had instantly thought the worst and quickly pulled them away from her. That resulted in yelling, demands for the bottle back and also demands for what was going on. Screaming had ensued, which surprised Scorpius at first because he had never heard Rose yell like that, at anyone. Sure she had a temper, but it was different this time. It ended up in a wrestling match to get the pills, ending with them jumping down the drain.

Scorpius blinked rapidly, realizing tears were threatening to spill over. He sighed, reaching out to grab Rose's arm, his sudden anger subsiding into worry again. "Rose, let's get you to your room." The man murmured, tugging her arm gently.

Rose jerked her arm from his grasp, staring at the pill bottle she had pulled from his hand, her eyes blank and glassy. She turned her head a little when Scorpius began to speak, causing him to become quiet again. She didn't say anything, but turned her gaze back onto the bottle, sniffling a little.

Scorpius sat there for a moment longer, not sure exactly what to do. He finally stood up, brushing off his trousers and straightened his shirt. "I'll be back in a moment, Rose." He told her, staring at her laying on the floor before a sigh slipped past his lips again and he turned to leave, going to leave her be for a few moments.
