Fire and Passion( Sequel to Potter and Farron)(Completed)

7. Tension

Juliet's POV:
Once I calmed down I started to feel bad. I had cut her off. I rush out of our room. I see Fred in the hall. " Fred where's Nikki?" I ask. "I have no idea she just ran out." He says looking hurt. I sigh and go downstairs.

The next morning...
We were all sitting around the kitchen table waiting for Nikki to come home. No one had slept all night. Ced had a comforting arm around me. " It's all my fault... I shouldn't have cut her off..." I say putting my face in my hands. " It's not your fault baby..." Ced whispers. We all hear the front door open and then close again. We get up and find Nikki who looks like a mess. Her hair is everywhere, she's got scratches on her face, and she has her hand latched onto her arm which has blood running down it. "Oh my God! Nikki!" Claire exclaims running to her. Nikki quickly backs up. "No no no. Don't touch me." She says. "Nikki let me help you." Claire says calmly. "No. No I can do it myself." Nik says pushing past everyone and up the stairs. "Oh no..." Claire mutters. Claire and I rush upstairs. " Nikki!" I call out. "No! Let me be!" She shouts shutting the bathroom door. I hear water from the sink running. I open the door anyways. I see her shoving pills down her throat. " Nik stop!" I shout. I wrap my arms around her waist and squeeze. She spits out the pills. She pushes me off her. "Don't touch me! Damnit!" She shouts. She grabs the bottle and pours the rest of the pills into her hand. "Just let me die like the whole world wants me to!" She yells tears streaming down her face. I shrink away. " I'm sorry..." I say tears streaming down my face. She turns away and shoves the pills in her hand down her throat again. " I can't do this... I can't watch..." I say. I rush out of the bathroom. " Claire stop her..." I say as I rush past her. Claire looks confused but runs in the bathroom. "Nikki stop!" I hear her shout. "I've already overdosed! What are you going to do!? I'm going to die like everyone always wanted me to!" Nikki shouts. "This is the one time I'm going to allow it! Throw up those damn pills!" Claire yells.

I rush to our bedroom and shut the door. I rush to my bag. I go to the pocket that I haven't gone in in months. I pull out my razor. I pull up my sleeve and slide the blade across my skin. I feel the warm blood trickle down my wrist. Tears slip down my face. It was all my fault. I hear the door open and hear a gasp come from Cedric. I drop the blade and look up at my boyfriend. "Baby why are you doing this again?" He asks rushing to my side. " Nikki she tried to overdose it's all my fault... I just... I can't..." I mumble. He pulls me into him. I hear puking noises coming from the bathroom. Claire must have gotten her to throw up the pills. "There are you happy!? I can continue to live my shitty ass life..." Nikki starts to shout but her voice fades away and I hear a thud. I cry into him. That's when Claire walks past holding Nikki up. She rushes downstairs. " We better follow..." Ced says. I nod. We walk down after her. "She only passed out. I think from blood loss. I need to get that patched up." Claire says and then walks up the stairs quickly past us. We are in the living room to see Nikki laying on the couch Fred kneeled next to her holding her hand. I feel blood drip down my hand and onto the floor. I don't care I'm just worried about Nikki. Claire runs down and starts to clean Nikki's wound the bandages it up. " Is she going to be ok?" I ask. "She should be. She got the pills out of her system and when she wakes up she has to stay here and not get up and drink plenty of water." Claire says. She gets up and goes to put everything away.

" Wait Claire... Can you bring that back in here?" Ced calls. "Sure..." She says confused and brings Ced the rubbing alcohol and bandages. Ced takes my wrist in his hands. "Juliet..." Claire says in shock. " She relapsed..." Ced says taking a cloth and pouring some alcohol on it. I sigh. He rubs it and I take a quick breath. I hear a groan come from Nikki. "Life's crazy man..." She says as she slowly opens her eyes. "What day is it?" She asks staring at the wall. " The same it was..." Claire says. I take another sharp breath as Ced continues to clean my wound. "What day is that?" Nikki asks. She actually seems confused. Like she has no memory at the moment. " Wednesday..." Claire answers. "Seriously!? I thought it was Tuesday!" Nikki exclaims. What? " You don't remember anything?" I ask trying to pull away from Ced. " Stay still..." He scolds me. I sigh. "Apparently not. I remember waking up in the morning and then everything from there is just sorts fuzzy. I do remember one thing clearly but... Uh... That's going to stay between me, myself and I." Nikki says awkwardly. " Nikki you ran out after Jay cut you off last night... You came in this morning and tried to overdose..." Fred says. "What?" She asks confused. "Jay cut me off? Why? What... What did I do? What happened?" Nikki asks quickly as she sits up. " You tried to apologize for what you told Mr. Diggory and she told you not too..." He says. I sigh. Ced starts to wrap my wrist. " That's too tight..." I say. " Sorry..." He says loosening it. "What did I tell to Mr. Diggory?" She asks. I look at her shocked. " That me and Ced used Sirius and Claire's room to have sex..." I answer like it's obvious. Ced makes the bandage too tight again. " God dammit Ced just let Claire do it..." I say annoyed. He chuckles.
