ITS YOU ; DRACO MALFOY

chapter 206.

Trickles of hot water dribble down my face as I stand lonely in the shower and think about the occurrence outside of Draco's house.

'Because I...'

What was he going to say and why did he stop himself? A small part inside of me is thinking that he was going to tell me he loved me but he's in love with Charlotte.

Pinching stings in my heart occur at the thought of that. He's in love with someone else.

Opening my eyes, shampoo pushes through my eyelashes but the physical pain doesn't even amount to the mental so I don't care about it. I just stare at the shower wall and chew on my bottom lip, thinking of how I can make this all easier.

Giving him the box won't work, seeing him doesn't work, talking about him doesn't work. I just want the pain to go away, it's been 6 months but it feels like we broke up just yesterday.

Talking to him doesn't work either. It just hurts even more. He's in front of me but he's so far away at the same time. I hate it. I hate this. I hate us.

Even though it's a Tuesday, my Mother calls me and tells me that she needs me to go to her house so as soon as I've finished wallowing in the shower, I get myself dressed and ready to go.

Informing Cedric on where I'm going I say, "My Mother called out of the blue. She said she really needs me to go to her house and talk to her about something. I'm not sure yet because she kept that information disclosed but I'll be back as soon as possible."

Giving me a kiss on the forehead, Cedric tells me that it's alright and I thank him before apparating to my Parents'. So many different scenarios go through my head as I knock at the door and try to think of what she could urgently need. Maybe something happened to her or my Father but why would she tell me to go to her house?

Before I can come up with any other reasonings, my Father opens the door and I give him a relieved smile once I see him. "Hello, Bella." His lips curve up into a smile and I give him a warm hug. "Come in."

Stepping inside of the house, which I used to be able to call my own, I peek into the kitchen but no one is in there so I guess my Mother is in the living room, waiting for me. "Is everything alright?" I question nervously, "Mother sounded a bit...scared on the phone."

Maybe my Father killed her and that's why she was scared and now nowhere to be found...none of my reasonings make sense. "Of course she's just a bit...nervous." I furrow my brows at that and my Father opens the living room door to show me exactly what it is that she was nervous about.

In the spare armchair is sat Draco. My expression is mirrored in his as he also looks confused. "Where's Lorelai?" Are the first words out of his mouth.

My eyes fall on my Mother. What the heck has she done? "Why is he here?" The woman avoids my question and eye contact so I turn to my Father who just shrugs his shoulders.

Both of them are immature. "I was told that you were going on Holiday and wanted to give me Lorelai for a week." Draco informs and I narrow my eyes at my Mother.

She's actually insane.

And Draco's also stupid. "I just got back to the Ministry, why would I be going on Holiday. That was idiotic of you to believe her."
