VOTE!

SAGE WALTMORE

THE AIR FEELS STICKY. Everything seems vivid and the light of the day is a dead blue. Nothing seems possible. Except him, Draco. He's holding my cheek as he looks into my eyes.

He's whispering something. What's he saying? He sounds muffled. I can only make out his lips. I....love...What? Something cold traces my bare collarbone. It has a sharp tip. I can't make out what it is or what he's saying. My head is pushed into the pillows and I'm in his room. That's all I can make out.

We aren't naked or getting sexual.

"I love you" He whispers.

What?

I jolt up, quickly gasping for air. I grab my chest searching for the Amethyst. What the hell is the Amethyst going to do for me anyways?

A chair rocks. A rocking chair. It creaks, it's creaking.

I'm alone in Draco's bed. I instantly search around the room and lock eyes with him. Draco. He's staring at me. Just staring. Rocking in the rocking chair. Wearing a white button up shirt, grey sweats and glasses. I moved my eyes to his lap. It'a a book...a book about...?

Flowers?

A book about flowers?

I shook my head. "What are you doing?" I tiredly asked. "Nothing" Draco replied. "Did you clean yourself up?" I asked. There was a slight party after Draco and I got back. We both got sprayed with liquor and other beverages.

Not to mention the food fight.

"Yes" He answered.

He continued to stare at me, barely blinking. His lips were pressed firmly into a straight line and he continued to flip to the next page as if he were actually reading.

"Did you even read that?" I asked. "Yes. Larkspur, also known as Delphinium is 300 species of perennial flowering plants in the family Ranunculaceae. Larkspur is about 1-3 feet tall and blooms in-"

"That's all I needed to know" I interrupted. "What time is it—why are you awake?" I questioned. "It's around 2am and I couldn't help but wake up to see your beautiful face" He said.

His lips slowly curled up into a simple smile. I jumped in shock as he slammed the book shut. "Shut the hell up!" One of the Slytherin boys groaned.

When did he come here?

Still staring at me, Draco slowly stood up trying not to make the chair creek again. He rested the book onto a nightstand and made his way over to me.

I'm usually not scared of men. Or people in general, however Draco did scare me. A lot.I truly don't know what he's capable of but I did like him a lot.

"Why were you staring at me?" I whispered. Draco dig into his pocket. He pulled something out.

What is that?

Hold on..

A needle?

My eyes grew in shock. "You are really...really messed up Draco" I said. I crawled back onto the edge of the bed. My first thought was to search the night stand. There must be something on the nightstand dear god!

"You are sick Sage. I can fix you let me fix you" He said as he kneeled down onto the bed. "I don't need fixing...Draco" I said in fear. Fuck fuck fuck god I need something just anything!

A pillow I need a pillow. I began to grab the pillow but he uses that as his advantage. He wraps his hand around my wrist holding it down as he grip his hand tightly around my throat.

He was cautious enough to not poke me with the needle. "No no no no" I whispered. "We were good we're good!" I screeched.

Wake up Slytherin boy.

"Sage..." Draco said calmly. "You have a bipolar disorder you aren't okay" He said.

"But—you, you love me!" I shouted. He paused. Almost as if his whole paused. "Who told you that?" He snapped. "You love me don't you?" I asked.

"I- and if I truly loved you I'd do this for you Sage"

"No-" I said. He punctured the needle into my chest. "Shh..Shh..you'll be all better now" He whispered.

His voice faded. My vision became blurry and it was almost as if I were dizzy. Is this love?

Is love supposed to cause so much pain and worry?

I'm not sure. I think that's the price to come with it.

Before I could process anything I was falling forward into his arms.

Again.

~

My eyes shot open. I was awake. A arm was around my stomach.

I remember what happened.

It was Draco I was injected with something.I was injected.

I quickly unwrapped myself out of my lovers embrace, sitting up. "Are you alright?" Draco asked kindly. I stare directly into his eyes completely filled with rage and betrayal. 

Draco begin to sit up but just then I slapped him. Hard. "Where is it?!" I shouted. "Where is what?" He snapped. "Lair!" I yelled. "You-you injected me with some kind of serum! And then said it'd fix me, you know what you did and I told you no!" I cried out. My voice cracked with hurt.

"Are you sure I did this? You know we had a crazy night last night you could've been dreaming" He insisted. "No! It's not like that you injected me with it Draco you know you did tell me you did" I begged.

"And if I did would that change the fact that you'd leave me anyways?" He asked.

"I wish to leave" I said as I choked back the tears. "No you are not leaving me, the amount of people that have left me or neglected me in general is insane just stay with me or we both have no one" Draco reminded me.

"Why do you do this to me?" I asked him with a sob. Draco huffed. "I don't do this to you Sage I would stay with you if it meant loosing the things I love most you have to understand that" He said.

I want to break something.

What the hell is wrong with me why can't I be like Edelyn or anyone else besides me. I stared at the glass of water that sat on Draco's night stand.

I want that to break.

I want to break it.

I want it to break me.

I glanced at the glass and up to Draco. I quickly jumped over Draco's lap, grabbing the glass from the Nightstand and forcefully throwing at the floor.

"No Sage!" Draco yelled. The glass shattered beneath my arm. I couldn't help but let out a deep cry. It hurt my throat to let out such a cry but I couldn't hold it in much longer.

Draco immediately pulled my head close to his chest. "No let me cry without your embrace" I said, pushing him away.

"You'll ruin yourself like this and you know it" He replied.

"You did that! You know what you did and you're acting dumb!" I'm shouted through tears.

"Why don't you tell me then since you're so pissed about it!" He shouted. It's as if I didn't tell him already.

"I had a dream and when I woke up you were staring at me and acting weird. Then you started walking over to me and pulled out a goddamn needle!"

"What was your dream about?" Draco asked.

"I love you" He whispers.

"You said that you loved me" I blurted out.

Draco pressed his hand on my damp cheek. "Why is that a problem?" He asked.

It's honestly not. I love the fact to know that he loves me because he's great at everything but we just started to date.

"Is it because you think I barely know you?" He asked. "It's not about that is about-"

"Sage. I know more about you than you know yourself of course someone would love you" He replied with a smile.

"You love me?" I asked. Draco sighed. "For now, I cannot answer such a question. Remember we've only started dating" He replied.

It was a yes or no question. I slapped his hand away in annoyance. "You act like a spoiled brat" He snapped.

I scoffed at him. "I! I act like a spoiled brat? I hate you!" I lied.

"Then why don't you leave then? Hm?" He asked. "Because I have no one like you!" I shouted. "But you hate me don't you?!" He roared.

"You don't understand anything about me Draco how does this even work?!" I yelled.

"I understand everything about you but you-you act like an ungrateful bitch all the time and I do everything for you and yet here you are claiming I injected you with something and said I'd fix you! I can't fix a person who doesn't want to be fixed and I won't fix a stupid fucker like you, ever!" He shouted. I went silent.

"Maybe sometimes you do need fixing" He whispered.

I won't cry. I won't cry in front of him now. "Wow" is all I could get out. I crept out of his bed trying to find a bag or anything. I just want to get out of here.

I'll regret this later but right now I don't. Wait. I won't leave without saying anything. I never leave without saying anything.

I stopped in my tracks. "Hey Draco do you wanna know something about yourself?"

"Well you don't have to answer at all I'm going to tell you anyways. You're a bastard who says things he doesn't mean to look or seem powerful so you can overpower me. Yeah I say shit too but you take it to a different level. I know what I saw I know what I've seen but I can't get over you, like ever and you like that. I may not be able to get away from you but you just need to know you're a real bitch when you're upset. Everyone is but you...I hate it. And it makes me hate you." I said.

Draco stood up. "And you think you're not a bitch? You think I don't hate you when you're angry?" He asked.

"Oh lovely, I know I am a bitch and I hate myself too but you're still here so you obviously have no problem with it" I replied.

"I could say the same for you" He said.

"Right." I replied.

We're the same and I hate it.

I hate it with all of my heart.

I wish we were both different.
