Under Your Scars || Sebastian Sallow x MC

Chapter 63 - Home*

Now this might be a mistake

We're broken in so many ways

But I piece us back together slowly

Ooh-ooh, maybe I'm just a fool

I still belong with you

Anywhere you, anywhere you are

Ooh-ooh, these minefields that I walk through

Ooh-ooh, what I risk to be close to you

Ooh-ooh, these minefields keeping me from you

Whoa, what I risk to be close to you

Minefields

-Fouzia and John Legend

Juliette POV

I woke up pinned to the bed, a heavy restraint holding me down by the shoulders.

My eyes shot open and my breath caught. 

It was pitch black in the room.

I've got to get out

I've got to get out.

I've got to get out.

But I couldn't move, I was frozen and locked in my body. 

I lost control of my breathing next, my eyes welled with tears.

Please, no. 

Please. 

Finally, my eyes adjusted to the darkness and the warmth of the limb across my chest came into my awareness.

I breathed it out as I realized it was only Sebastian's arm slung across me as he slept peacefully on his stomach.

Putain de merde.

I did not even hear him come to bed, having taken my potion long before he got home. He was spending so many late nights at Hogwarts, yet every night he came home so I would not have to sleep alone.

Home.

Home?

This is not my home, I reminded myself. My home is in Edinburgh, I am simply Sebastian's guest.

That was when I realized that if things continued with Sebastian, it could be my home one day.

It would be. I had no reason to believe otherwise.

When we met in that Dark Arts classroom, I never would have guessed that I would end up teaching in that very room alongside him. I never would have guessed I would find myself spending the rest of my days in his arms.

I quite liked the idea of it.

"I love you," I whispered to him and brushed his hair out of his ridiculously handsome face, like I did every night once I was sure he was asleep.
