The familiar taste of mint- chocolate-chip ice cream illuminates my mouth. I'd swear I'm in heaven right now. The three cone's brand. The best, no one can refute. I sat in the garden with yet another book. I know it's basically winter but, it looks so nice outside, peaceful even. And months bottled up in a house gets boring rather quickly.
There’s a rosebush that keeps me company. I know, roses are overrated, which isn’t usually my style. They are classic symbols. Sharp yet delicate.
Somehow in late fall, it’s warm outside today. I glance towards the pool. Not as good as the ocean, but usable. I wonder If I should take a swim? No, that'd mean I have to take off my shirt and Skirt. Crazy Idea. I sit still on the patio chair, enjoying the sun.
I hear the sliding of the glass door. I peer behind me. Malfoy is home.
“Good Afternoon” He greets
“Afternoon” I quickly addressed, not looking up from my book. He pulls the chair beside me out, and sits at the table. To say I regret what happened last time we were here, was a huge understatement. I mean I knew I would, but I didn't want to stop. That fact alone scares me.
“Odd, weather isn’t” I simply not “It’s quite lovely, actually I suppose”
“Hmm” I hum setting my book down, walking over to the pool, dipping my toes in. Really, I’m just trying to avoid him.
“Trying to avoid me, I see” He walks over “Why would that be? Could it have something to go with us snogging in the grass?”
“No… I’m actually not avoiding you. I just don’t have much to say”
“Oh. yeah, that’s it” he scoffs “I think- I know you have plenty to say. You better watch that pretty, little, head of yours, yeah?”
“Not to you.” I stand up, brushing past him. He grabs my forearm.
“You could stand to display a little more gratitude”
“Exuse me?”
“I allow you to be fed, clothed, spoiled. I don’t have to, you know.”
“You also didn't have to abduct me.” I steady my breaths.
“But I did. And you are mine” He pulls tighter on my arm bringing me closer
“You’ve taken away most of my freedoms, sure. But you can never take away my own thoughts and opinions. You can’t change how much I hate you either” he clenches his jaw, releasing me. I go into the house.
Draco P.O.V
I released her from my grip. She was right. Would that stop me from trying? No.
I follow after she goes inside. I trudge up to my suite. I take off my jacket and tie. I hate ties. I felt like I was being strangled for hours. I look at my cluttered dresser. What the fuck is all this shit? I knock it over not caring about the glass shattering on the ground. I turn around, exiting my room.
“Zeph, clean up the glass in there” I instruct promptly
“Yes, immediately, sir” He bows his head scrambling to complete the task. I escort myself to the living room, sitting on the couch. I put on the TV. The news is on. Priscilla always leaves it there, most likely for Alex to see. In case it mentions her. Speak of the devil, she comes from the library.
“ It has been confirmed that eighteen year old Alexandria Parker was not abducted, but ran away.” She pauses at the display on the screen “Henry Cohen, Alexandria’s father, has some things to say about the situation.”
“The police contacted me about her. I didn’t know where she was. It wasn't a surprise, her mother is not very tolerant. I just hope she’s safe. Alexandria If you see this, please let me know that you're ok.”
“Turn it off” She instructs, pacing rapidly “How dare he say that about my mother! After she put up with all his fucking bullshit, He has no right!” I was upset, but this is a whole new level. fury.
“Calm down, sit” I place my arms on her shoulders
“I can’t calm down. Who does that man think he is. He doesn't deserve the title of father.” She crosses her arms bitterly
“I know you are extremely upset, but yelling will do nothing," my eyes gently bore into hers
“You’re right.” she sighs, Her hazel eyes reciprocating my gaze. I walk over to the kitchen. I get her a glass of water
“Let me talk to her” Josephine stops me. I just nod.
Alex P.O.V
Jo bursts out of the kitchen, bringing a glass of water.
"It's ok Chére. He's not worth your time. Anyone can see that . she sits next to me rubbing my back.
"Did you hear what he said?" She nods. Tears start rolling down my cheeks as I tremble"Did you know what he did to her? He came home drinking every night. He would scream and shout. He beat her black and blue! She never even got to defend herself. And then you know what? He left. No explanation or apology. She didn't deserve that! The only thing she ever did was love him. How do you love someone like that?"
"I know. But what about you?" I shake uncontrollably letting out a sob
"He never beat me. My mom always protected me from that. Most days, I find her lying on the floor beside broken beer bottles, not knowing if she was going to wake up. He almost did hit me. I was trying to wake her up, I wouldn't stop shaking her and yelling. He could've got help he didn't. It killed my mom having to explain what was going on. Why he was never at any of my birthdays, or why he never once called. He only cared about the damn alcohol."
"Shhh. It's okay."
"I hate that man, who dares calling himself my father. He's not my father. He's nothing to me." I murmur aloud
"I know" she rocks me. I just sit in her soft arms. I take a sip of water and take a deep breath.
"I'm going to bed. Sleep this feeling off" I stand shakily
"Goodnight Chére" Her eyes pang with a mixture of deep sympathy and pity.
