part 14 <3

I woke up the next morning at the crack of dawn with a piercing ache in my back. Every part of my body was sore and I was still so tired. I wobbled over to the little cafeteria to make myself a coffee. I looked over to the right and mum was sitting at a table filling out papers.

"Hey, mum. What are you doing?" I asked

"I'm filling out the discharge papers for your father." She replied.

"Is he awake?"

"Yes. He awoke about an hour ago. You should go say hi." she answered keeping her head down.I rushed over to his room without saying another word. When I opened the door he was standing up organizing his belongings.

"How are you feeling?" I asked.

"I'm feeling better now that you're here!" He exclaimed with joy.

He wrapped me in a tight hug and it was nice, except for the fact that he stank. Dark circles surrounded his eyes and his face still had a pale color to it.

"Are you sure you're okay to walk?" I questioned.

"Yes, darling I'm fine. I just need a good night's rest in my own bed." He answered calmly. Once he was done gathering his things, I ushered him out of the room and we walked toward Mum. She was handing in the paper to the receptionist. Once that was done, We were in the car and off to go back home. As soon as we got home I went upstairs and crashed. I woke up about 4 hours later feeling a bit more fulfilled by my slumber.

I went to the library to get my favorite book but when I came back I found Draco in my room. He turned around to meet my eyes and explained, "Your mom let me in."

"That's great," I answered hesitantly. I placed the book down and asked "What exactly are you doing here?"

"Oh um, I just wanted to give you this." He held out a large bag.

"What is it?" I asked suspiciously.

He replied with a smile, "Just open it and see."

I took the back from his hands and sat on my bed to open it. He sat down too. Under all the tissue paper I could see silver. As it came into view my heart stopped. It was the dress. I had completely forgotten about it.

"I know how much you liked it. And honestly, you look amazing in it. I thought it should be with you." Draco explained as he watched happiness come across my face.

I was truly speechless. The only thing that could express my happiness was a hug. I pulled him in for a tight hug. I could feel that I startled him but I didn't care. And apparently neither did he. He wrapped his arms around me holding me close.

"Thank you, Draco. This means so much. You have no idea." I said.

He pulled out the hug and responded, "Anything for you y/n."

Now I was the startled one and I think he noticed.

"Since that's all, I'll be on my way now." He announced as stood up tall and was getting ready to exit.
Something nagged at me. As if I didn't want him to leave.

"Draco," I called out. "You're a good person." He looked back at me and I tried to read his face. It seemed blank but I think I noticed a hint of sadness in his eyes. It looked as if he wanted to say something, but he simply just nodded at me and left my room. I could hear the front door close, and at that sound, I fell into my bed. Why did I feel so empty?
