The other side of Draco || Enemies to lovers

11- broken moments

"Scarlett Ivory May" my father yelled as i came through the front door of my house "where were you?"

"Dinner's gone cold" my mother added

I had to be honest about this "I'm sorry, but i went to the... malfoys"

"Malfoy!" My father screamed, I thought the roof was going to fall off "go to your room young lady"

I did as i was told, i first got ready for bed then went in my room and fell on the bed.
I fell asleep for a while  until i heard a tapping at my window, it was an owl.

I let the owl in and took the letter from him, i opened it and looked at the letter, i somehow recognised it as draco's writing, it couldn't be, could it?

Hey Scarlett,
I'm glad you came today. I was going to ask you a question but i didn't have time so I'll ask you now, by owl. I know how i treated you at the beginning and as you know, I regret it.

I was now holding my breath, is he really going to ask what i think hes going to ask?

We've improved from there and i really want to ask you something important,

I could see that draco was nevous for this part as his handwriting became messier which means he started shaking more

I've wanted to ask you this since i met you and now i finally get to say it, i hope you'll say yes though... would you-

There was a knock on my bedroom door, i threw the letter under my pillow just as my mom came in.

"I'm really sorry mom, i truly am. I promise to come home by 4 next time" i apologised

"Scarlett, don't worry, I'm not mad at you. Infact, i am beyond happy" she said, something was going on.

"What is it mom?" I asked "why are you soo happy?"

"Well dear, you need to know that you cannot tell your father any of this, ok?"

I nodded vigorously

"I want to tell you this to make you feel better" she kissed my head

"when i was at hogwarts, i was best friends with narcissa malfoy" my mom began "i was also friends with lucious malfoy, and your fathe".
"So, as you know, cissy married lucious and i obviously married your father", i nodded
"But a few months after we got married, lucious had a row with your father", i gasped
"Yes, from then on, they were enemies and the bond with cissy and i were broken"

"Oh" was all that i could say

"But I still miss her dearly, everyday, i hope she still remembers me"

"Yes mom!" I cried jumping up "she does remember you, she asked me if you were Ivory May,  and when I said yes, she seemed so happy"

"Oh cissy, really?" My mom was just as happy as Ms. Malfoy

"Yes! Yes! You should visit her mom" i was getting really exited

"No Scarlett, i can't" my mom's happiness dropped

"Why not?" I asked

"Remember, lucious and your father are both still enemies with each other" she whispered "and what's that under your pillow?"

Oh, it was my letter from draco

"Just a letter" I tried to sound casual as i stuffed it back under the pillow.

"Who's it from?" She asked

"Uhh, potter" i lied

"Scarlett, let me see it" my mother demanded

"No, no it's just a letter asking how I've been" i lied again

"Scarlett, now" i had no choice but to hand the letter over, i didn't even get to read the last part.

My mother read it and sighed, "Scarlett, I'm really happy for you but you can't" she said

"Can't what?" I asked as i hadn't read the last part yet

"Scarlett don't play tricks with me" she said walking out of my room... with my letter!

"Wait!" I cried but it was too late it was going to be ripped up and put in the bin.

I sighed and laid down on my bed, i wonder what the letter was about?
