All Our Broken Pieces

Chapter 21

Everyone left me alone for a long time. Part of me was glad of time, I needed time to reflect?

More trauma.

And I was more alone than ever.

My wounds had healed, their scars remained, staining my skin.

I was disgusting, why wouldn't they go away.

They were a harsh reminder that, people hurt you, I mean for fucks sake, I thought we were in love.

Although closed, they hurt. In more ways than my mind could comprehend. The scale to which what I went through... was ridiculous.

I just wanted to go back to school.

I sent an owl to Enzo,

Enzo,

I'm sure you're wondering why I haven't been at school, or at least I hope you have been. I hope you weren't worried, Jesus of course you were worried, it's you.

I'm sorry that at this time, I am unable to gift you any more information other than, I'm at Malfoy Manor, and I need you.

Things are bad here, for me anyway, I have sustained injuries which are preventing me from leaving at this time.

I'm sorry that this is out of the blue, I miss you; I miss everyone, especially you and Pansy.

Although I do believe Theo would be incredible at cheering me up, he's good at that.

If you can, please come and see me, I am in so much pain, I'm not sure how long I can handle this by myself.

If you can't, please see if Pansy or, anyone can. I'll explain everything once you're here.

All my love,

Your Nor's x

within hours I had a reply,

Nora,

Of course I've been wondering where you are, it's you, how could I not. Me and Pansy are desperately worried. Draco and Mattheo have been back and forth, not spending more than a night at Hogwarts, refusing to speak of you.

Things are weird here, especially now you're away, but the energy has changed, everyone's suspicious, and people are starting to realise you're probably not getting to know a new family, seen as you've been away for so long.

I'm sorry you're struggling, I'm going to leave as soon as I can, but it may be a day or two.

Out of the blue is better than nothing, unfortunately Pansy cannot travel with me, I forget why now but she was proper upset when I showed her your letter.

Please explain everything once I arrive, Theo misses you dearly too.

It's not the same here without you.

Yours dearly,

Enzo x x

The ink ran a little as the parchment became tear stained, they missed me.

There was a knock at the door and I practically leaped out of bed to see who it was.

I swung open the door i'm excitement, and was not met with the face I wanted nor expected.

My heart and my smile dropped instantly.

"Hey Nora." he said.

I said nothing. I don't know what he expected me to do.
