The next day
I'm actually glad Aurelia faced Johnny yesterday.

The way it went down was perfect.
She made her peace.

And that's it.
It should all be smooth sailing from here.

"I can't wait to tell my parents I'm staying." Laughed Aurelia.

Never mind.

"I forgot about them." I said.
"Don't worry. I can handle it."

"Aren't they gonna be mad?"

"Very. But I'm turning 18 so they won't have control. And I'm not planning on getting them arrested or anything.

There's other things I'd rather spend my energy on." She said looking at me.

I kissed her.

"Speaking of parents, I should tell mine the news. They'll be ecstatic."

"Let's tell them today." She said.
"When?"

"Now! Come on!" She said excitedly.

(Aurelia's Pov)
Draco and I decided to come clean to his parents.

If I'm gonna be living with him they deserve to know the truth about everything. My childhood, my parents, Johnny.

Not the fact that I killed him, that's going to the grave.

Hah, grave.

Draco and I were on one side of the couch,
Narcissa and Lucius were on the other.

"Aurelia decided she wants to stay."
Said Draco.

Narcissa gasped.
"That's wonderful!"

Narcissa gave me a hug and kissed my cheek.

"That's nice to hear." Said Lucius.
"Are your parents okay with it?" Said Narcissa.

"There's actually things we have to tell you.
I just thought if I'm gonna live with you, you should know the truth." I said.

Draco squeezed my hand and nodded.

(Draco's Pov)
"That's everything." Said Aurelia.
I wiped her eyes and kissed the top of her head.

"You did so good."

Aurelia's didn't shed a tear. She stayed strong through it all.

My mother on the other hand sobbed.
"I'm so sorry my dear, that must've been so hard." She cried.

"It was, I was so hopeless for so long. But Draco saved me. You've raised a really good man."

"Yes we have." Said my father.
My mother leaned into my father and he wiped her eyes.

"Is there anything we can do to help?"
Asked my mother.

"I'm already in therapy, and I'm on pills.
I'm not sure what else can be done." She said.

"And your parents and Johnny? We could get them arrested in the blink of an eye."
Said my father.

"Johnnys left the country so I can't really-"
"We can." Said my father.

Aurelia looked at me.
