Below the Surface (Draco X Arya)

Broken

Four Weeks Later

I woke up and rolled onto my side, and Draco did the same,

"Good morning." I smiled at him.

"Don't you love weekends?"

"Definetly." Scorpious came running into the room.

"Daddy, I'm hungry!" Draco sighed and sat up.

"Alright buddy, I'm coming." He sat up and the sheets fell away from his bare chest as he got out of bed and walked to the door as Scorpious ran downstairs. When he reached the doorway, he turned around and smiled playfully.

"You coming?" I nooded and lept out of bed, running forward and jumping on his back, he grabbed my legs and he carried me downstairs, the both of us laughing. When we reached the base of the stairs, he set me down and I stood on tiptoes to kiss him, before Running up behind acorpious and blowing a raspberry on his stomach. The boys happy giggle made me smile as I set him down and he ran off. I turned to Draco,

"You want me to cook?"

"Please? You know I'm no good." I laughed, and walked over to the kitchen. I opened the refrigerator, I looked back at Scorpious and asked,

"So what do you want for breakfast?"

"Pancakes!" I smiled,

"You got it." Thunder boomed outside, followed by a bright flash of lightning and the power going out. Suddenly, I had a fashback of being  in the dark room and Sage's menacing voice as he'd hit me. I fell to my knees, sobbing. Draco ran toward me, wrapping his arms around me and whispering, "it's alright, it's over, you're here with me." I suddenly felt another person join in the hug and I flinched. Draco whispered in my ear,

"It's Scorpious, we're here with you. It's okay." I felt my body shake uncontrollably as Draco held me tighter. This had happened a lot over the past couple of weeks, and each time it got worse.I tried to take deep breaths and control my breathing, I was finally able to stop crying, but I was still shaking.

"Scorpious, go grab my wand." I felt the boy nod and heard his small feet on the wooden floors as he ran upstairs. Through my shaking voice, I managed to say.

"Why have you stayed with me? You've seen what every little thing does to me. I'm Broken." He moved to sit in front of me.

"Arya, look at me." I lifted my head and looked at him. With tears in his eyes, he said. "You're not the only one who is broken, growing up I had nobody, except the house elf. And my dad," He covered a scar on his hand. Two marks that resembled a snake bite. "Well he didn't seem to care about me, hit me, emotionally abused me. The same as sage did to you."

"That scar... your dad?"He nodded. "Sage hasn't been the only one, growing up, my parents were never there, so I lived with my grandma who also abused me."

"Arya, That's awful... I'm so, so sorry, but we've escaped our pasts. It's time to focus on our future, with that, he helped me to my feet and kissed me.
