Her Eyes || Draco Malfoy

108

We ended up back at Ivy's, not letting anyone near me but Draco I locked myself in Ivy and I's shared room, crying into Draco's chest.

It had been a week.

Despite him being right there with his arms around me I still felt completely alone, I wasn't even sure if his parents knew where he was because there was no doube they knew what happened.

He rubbed my back in a comforting motion as the door opened to the room and Ivy walked in sitting on the edge of the bed.

I wouldn't move nor would I acknowledge Ivy's presence as I kept my face hidden, ashamed of the scar that now found home on my cheek as a constant reminder that I would never forget this.

I was an orphan now, I had to let that sink in and I had to process what happened, that it wasn't going go be easy.

I knew Ivy was up here to bring me food, despite her trying for a week to get me to eat it would never be successful because after eating only a few bites I would be sick.

and every time I got sick Draco would rush to my side, holding my hair back and rubbing my back.

broken I was, I was slowly being destroyed from the inside and it wasn't a good feeling.

I kept replaying that night over and over again in my mind, holding my stomach as I felt it start stinging right where the scar was.

Startling Draco and Ivy I felt myself begin to sweat and I couldn't breathe.

Pushing nyself off the blonde I found myself backed up against the wall, curled up into a ball.

"Iris" Draco whispered as I slowly looked up at him, his eyes full of worry and he kept his distance.

"you're okay-" he held his arms open "I'm here, Ivy's here, no one can hury you my love, not when we're here" he continued and I looked around the room, seeing Ivy gove me a small sad smile.

"You're safe"

I looked at him, giving him the permission to come closer and when he did, he placed a soft smile against my forehead "I love you" he mumbled softly as I fell against him.

His heart beat calming me down, when I finally spoke up with my hand still on my stomach where the cut was.

"it hurts" I forced out as I lifted the fabric of my shirt, "it hurts so bad" I sobbed and I felt Draco lift me up, bridal style and place me on my bed.

"its not healing properly— Ivy your mother used to be a nurse right? go get her" worried he spoke quickly, when Ivy left the room to get her mother who I assumed was with Magnolia.

He placed his hand on my cheek making me look at him while his other hand held mine, pushing back my hair he pressed a kiss on my forehead "you trust me?" I nodded, "can I check on your other cut?, the one down here" he moved his hand from my cheek down to my inner thigh.

I nodded, knowing he wouldn't hurt me, he never would.

"I'll be gentle, I don't want to hurt you" he said as he slowly pulled my bottoms down enough to see the cut "does it hurt badly?" he wondered and it took me a moment to answer.

"yeah" I whispered, as Ivy's mom walked in followed by Ivy who held Magnolia in her arms "baby" I squeezed Dracos hand so he would move closer to me, his eyes moving to mine "can I lay on you?" I asked, knowing I would feel more comfortable, safer knowing he wouldn't leave my side.

He didn't hesitate to move onto the other side of me, holding me into a sitting position until he was behind me, my head resting on his lap.

"look at me" he said and I did, looking up at him as he smiled sadly "you'll be okay, Ivy's mom will help you" I felt him push my hair back again when I hissed loudly, squeezing Dracos hand tighter.

I couldn't take it anymore as I felt my body slowly begin to shut down, I couldn't hear anything and my eyes were glued to the ceiling above.

My whole body went numb as everything went black, only the feeling of the blondes hand in mine was keeping me from giving up, My body was weak, but my heart wasn't.

~~~

"It was better that way"

I opened my eyes slowly, the pain in my stomach had gone down by alot and beside me was Ivy, my head still on Dracos lap and in the crib was Magnolia who laid awake.

Moving my head I looked up at Draco, whos face was covered in dry tears but a smile found his lips when he looked down at me "feeling better?" He asked and I nodded smiling "much better"

it was as if timing was on my side when Magnolia suddenly broke into tears, crying from her crib which caused Ivy to get up quickly and leave the room.

I sat up and though still weak I didn't feel the pain I did before, I didn't have to rely on Draco to keep me up as I could do so on my own now.

but still one question remained in my mind.

"I've been broken, beaten and ripped apart over and over again, I'm constantly scaring you with my issues and my life is a mess, yet you stay, you stay" my eyes wandered down "why?" I asked.

"because I love you and I care about you, I love you everything about you not just at your happy moments but your lows too, I'm here to be your support person, to act as a safe place and a security blanket, to give you a reason to breath another day and to never give up" he said bringing his hand to my chin go make me look him.

"When you love someone, you love everything about them, you support them no matter what, you help them get through their issues and get over their fears, I love you that much" he whispered the last part before leaning in to leave a soft kiss against my lips.

"I'll even check your bed for monsters and your closet for them too, I'll protect you from them I promise"
