Willow

Chapter 25

The car started up and I slid into my seat. Cherry was next to me, and Draco was in the back. The car was a large car with a seat in the boot where Draco was sat. Sadie looked at me in her mirror and smiled.

I must've fallen asleep as I awoke to and excited looking Cherry shaking me.
"Wake up Willow!" She giggled, dragging me out of the car. Draco struggled not to laugh as I was pulled towards the front door.
"Welcome home," he laughed.

After I had unpacked, I went downstairs to eat dinner. We ate pizza and onion rings in a comfortable silence, before I went upstairs to do my homework. Looking at my planner, I saw that I only had art to do. Grabbing my sketch book and pencil, I turned to the page with my drawing on it. The picture was of a girl sitting underneath a willow tree, drawing. Shading the grass, I looked at it in satisfaction. Throwing my sketch book, pencil case and planner into my school bag, I sat on my bed with my guitar. I began to play 'Super Market Flowers' by Ed Sheeran (the acoustic version obviously) I loved that song, but it always made me cry. It reminded me of my mum. I absent mindlessly began singing along to the lyrics I knew all too well.

Finishing the song with a final soft strum, I lay back and stared at the ceiling. I hated when I was left alone with my thoughts.

Your mums death was your fault

You should have known

Why didn't you care more?

Tears sprung to my eyes and I sat up quickly. My heart began pounding quickly and I felt choked. No, please no. I quickly typed a message to Elliot. His house was about a 3 minute walk away.

W: El. I need you to come here asap. The address is (insert address)
E: Be right there xx

I furiously, shredded tissue all over the floor. I was angry at myself. My thoughts. Knocking on my door, startled me as I went to open it. Elliot. He saw my tears and panicked emotion and rushed over to me.

Elliot's POV:
I understood immediately. Thoughts about her mum. It had happened before. Holding her close, I kissed her head and blocked out the world around us. She softened and buried her head in to my shoulder as I hugged her.
"It's not your fault. I promise," I whispered. She looked up at me, her emerald eyes full of tears.
"You promise?" She asked.
"I promise," I replied.
I held her tightly until I heard her breathing become more slow and steady. Laying her down onto her bed, I kissed her cheek and walked back home.

Willows POV:
I woke up on a soft bed in an unfamiliar room. My new room. Im MY house. With MY family. Wow. Standing up, I grabbed a large hoodie and went downstairs.
"Morning," I grumbled.
"Morning!" Cherry smiled.
Sitting down, a bowl of cereal was placed in front of me.
"This ok, Willow?" Sadie asked.
"Course," I smiled, and began eating.
Looking around, noticed that Draco was no where to be seen.
"Draco?" I asked.
"Sleeping," Cherry giggled.
I laughed and stood up to put away my bowl. Cherry leapt over and grabbed the bowl before me, placing it carefully in the sink. I told Sadie I was going to do homework and went upstairs. Knocking gently on Draco's door, I heard a groan which I interpreted as an 'enter'.
"Morning," I laughed.
"Ugh" he mumbled.
I left his room and sat down to do homework. I loved my new family.
