Writing this chapter, it was really inspired by two songs and I think it would go really well with it if you listen along. Kind of a short chapter, but there is more to come!

The rain beat against the side of the window, mixing with the sounds of my rapid breathing. My blankets lay in a heap on the floor, my pillows joining them. I'm huddled on my bed, tears streaming down my face and soaking into the mattress.

A sob racks through me and I'm disgusted at the sound. I try to pull my legs closer into me, wishing I could shrink so small I would just disappear. My fingers keep shaking as I tap them as fast as I can against my leg.

Pull yourself together y/n. You're better than this. Just stop it already. You can stop, you really can. Just do it already!

But I can't. I can't stop, won't stop. I can't, I just can't.

I glance at the clock, seeing the time flash before my eyes. Some small voice in the back of my head tells me that I need to get ready for Quidditch practice, but I silence it. Quidditch be damned.

I stay on my bed, tears ceasing to flow. I just stay huddled, dry sobs going through me.

The mattress dries, my blankets and pillows lay cold on the ground, and I still refuse to move. I can barely hear the rain now, but the shock of thunder threatens to never let me recover.

The sky begins to grow darker and I don't feel sleep creeping up on me. My mind is bent on having me suffer as long as possible. There's no escape from this.

"Y/n? Love? Are you in here?" I hear Oliver say as he opens the door.

My mind is screaming at me to answer, to just open my mouth and speak. But I won't. I'm numb to it all.

The bed dips and an arm wraps around my waist, yet I still can't move. I feel Oliver burying his face into my neck and planting soft kisses there.

"Y/n, darling. I'm here. Just breathe, okay?" He says and whispers to me "I got you"

He stays there, occasionally reaching an arm up to stroke my hair.

"I love you" he whispers over and over to me.

My tears begin again and I feel him tense up.

"Y/n, are you okay? Am I doing something wrong? What's wrong?" He asks, sitting up to look me in the eyes.

I nod and turn to face him, cuddling my body into his. He wraps his arms around me again and rubs tiny circles on my back.

"Shh, shh, love it's okay. I got you now. No need to worry," he whispers.

After I moment, I whisper into his shirt "I love you"

He chuckles slightly and pulls me tighter into him. I feel him sigh.

"What do you need love?" Olivers says,

"Just you," I reply, my voice breaking.

"Okay, but just promise me that the next time this happens, you come straight to me? Okay?" he says.

"Okay," I say, and close my eyes.
