One and Only

30. Blaise.

TW murder

I froze. He wants me to kill my best friend. Blaise didn't even do anything. I can't do that, he means the world to me...

"If you do not complete the task then you will be killed yourself. Now get out." My father seethed. And with the rest of my energy I apparated out of my bloody household and into the bathroom of Draco's room at the manor.

I sobbed as I took off Draco's now bloody jumper. I put it in the shower so I could rinse it off later. Then I grabbed a washcloth and wet it with cold water before cleaning myself up. I continued to sob and think about why and how I can fulfill the task.

My heart can't do that to someone I love so dearly. Me and Blaise have been best friends since the beginning. He's always been there for me when I needed it and I'll always be there for him. But I have to do it, he'll understand wont he?

After I cleaned myself up, I went back out to Draco's room, I saw Draco peacefully sleeping. I tried not to awaken him as I got dressed but I couldn't hold it in much longer.

I dropped to the floor and screamed which woke Draco up right away.

"Amber?" Draco sat up rubbing his eyes. My hands were covering my face as I sat on the floor crying consistently. "Amber what happened?!" He spoke as he got out of bed and hugged me on the floor.

"B-bad d-d-dream." I lied and continued to sob.

"Amber, darling it's okay it was just a dream. It's not real." I wish it was a dream, he doesn't know that I'm a death eater, my father abused me and I have to kill my best friend.

"D-Draco I'm s-scared." I wasn't lying but he thinks I'm scared of a dream, when the dream is actually reality.

"Come, cuddle with me, you'll feel better." He tried to pick me up but I winced. "Amber? Are you hurt?" He asked me and I shook my head no, hoping he wouldn't ask further questions. "Are you sure? You just whimpered when I touched your back." He said.

"No Draco you just touched a bruise, I'm f-fine." I said in between sobs. He picked me up successfully this time and laid me on his soft bed. My crying softened down from my exhaustion, Draco planted a kiss on my forehead before getting comfortable in his bed again.

He quickly feel asleep while I stayed awake the whole time. All I could think about is how I'm going to kill my best friend even though he doesn't even deserve it. There is no way out of this, I have to do it.

                                         - 9 am-

Draco began to wake up once again. He turned towards me with his eyes still closed. His calm, cool breath fanned the top of my head which seemed to calm my nerves a bit.

"Good morning beautiful." He said in a deep raspy morning voice. I blushed a bit but it soon faltered due to the task I have been given.

"Morning." I said and that's when Draco's eyes opened and looked at me.

"Are you sure you're alright? You really aren't acting like yourself." He caressed my cheek looking at me with worry.

"I told you it was a scary dream, and no I don't wanna talk about it." I stated, not making eye contact with him.

"Well, we need to go back to Hogwarts today..." he spoke and my heart started beating faster. I'll have to face Blaise and he doesn't know what his future holds. Draco noticed my sudden tenseness. "Amber? Calm down okay? Everything is going to be just fine. Don't work yourself up about it."

He's right, once I get it over with, everything will be fine. Yes Blaise is my best friend and it's going to hurt a lot but he will be in a better place, he will be free. "Okay..." I said and gave Draco a weak smile.
