there was a long & almost painful silence between the two boys, months had gone by without speaking to each other. there was nothing more than a, ‘are you going to come over tomorrow ? i want to show you this movie that i found, you’re going to love it ! ’ & the actual decency of draco to go, ‘of course.’ it wasn’t that he wanted to leave, but he didn’t have the heart to tell kol that he was leaving. he didn’t have the knowledge that everyone left him, & he wasn’t going to blame kol for not telling him that stuff. he just wished that he KNEW. ❛ i got all your letters, i just didn’t know how to answer them. ❜ that wasn’t the best way to start a conversation. he knew that it wasn’t the best thing to say, but he had just said it. there was one letter that particularly broke draco’s heart, & all it said was—— ‘are you okay ? ‘ ❛ i didn’t think that you were going to be MAD, i thought that you would be happy that i’m back. not for too long though, just until christmas, that’s when scorpius gets back from hogwarts. ❜ he reaches into his bag, pulling out a small envelope for him, an envelope filled with a letter, but it wasn’t from him. ❛ scorp wanted me to give this to you, he also put a picture in there, it’s a moving one too. i don’t think that you have any of those. ❜ he tried to make things better, but NOTHING was going to work. he wanted to have him not hate him, but draco had almost ruined everything. ❛ look, if you aren’t going to talk to me, then at least let me talk. astoria died, i didn’t want to talk to anyone & we had to go back. i told you in the beginning of this friendship that it was just for the summer anyways. so it was a wakeup call that i had to get us back to england, i don’t see why you’re so mad. you are overreacting, it’s not like i left without any intentions of ever coming back. ❜
out of nowhere, a loud sob escaped his lips, his worst fears coming to life. hans had been tortured by bellatrix, who had found out about his friendship to draco. he just wanted something good in his life, but he wasn’t getting ANYTHING. he shook his head as he stared at him, listening to him talk as he felt sick to his stomach. he knew that he was dying, & draco wish that he took the class that taught you healing spells, because they only learned a few, none of which could help his friend who was in need of a cure. ❛ i promised that i would protect you, & i’m sorry that i LIED. ❜ he wasn’t used to feeling so much sadness & grief, all he wanted to do was sob at the top of his lungs, pray that he would live through this.
he never imagined pain like this, & he didn’t realize that the fear that he would die would ever become something present, because draco said that he would protect him. he shook his head quickly at his voice, fear filling his eyes. ❛ no, no, no, & NO! don’t sleep alright? just don’t sleep, just keep your eyes open & just listen to me okay. i swear to merlin if you die i’m going to bring you back to life to just kill you again. ❜ his voice broke at the last word, & suddenly he quieted for a moment, reaching over as he glanced at the blood that stained his previously white shirt, & draco held back a wince. ❛ please don’t leave me. ❜
he had never said please before, he had never begged before, & he had never wished so hard for someone to stay in his life. he always knew that there was fear present about him being alone forever, but he didn’t think that the one person that he trusted would be DEAD. ❛ okay, if you don’t die we’re going to have kids at the same time, remember that? they’re going to be BEST friends like us, & they’re going to get married & we will be in law’s, right? ❜ his heart pounded in his chest as his breathing became heavier & quicker, making him fear for his sanity also. ❛ right? fuck i––– you LOVE being right, just say that you agree with me okay? ❜
