Malfoy

4 - Dulled

The next few weeks feel dull, as if the absence of Draco has sucked all of the joy and color out of life. He hasn't spoken to you since that day when you shared a moment. He rarely comes to class and when he does he's quiet and keeps his head down. He's always the first one out of the classroom. You had to complete the project by yourself. You would do anything for him to talk to you again, you even miss his taunts and teases.

He never looks at you. The days drag on and on. It feels like every day is a cold rainy day without him. It's hard to let him go now that you've seen a different side of him. You never go out with your friends anymore, it all feels pointless. There's no passion in life without him.

He showed you what life could be like and then disappeared. You feel empty and broken inside. Like he had taken an integral part of you with his soft smirks and warm hands. Missing him is a physical pain, like theres a weight strapped on your chest, pulling down. You want to cry over him, but you can't, it's all just numbness.

Draco comes to you in your dreams, though. Its the same dream every time. You're lost in the forest and its dark and freezing and raining. You can hardly see anything. Then, you see him. He's standing in a doorway, with warm yellow light spilling out from behind his lean figure. He holds out his arms to you and so you run. You run as hard as you can towards him, towards the warmth and comfort and safety that is Draco Malfoy. But right as you are about to fall into his embrace he disappears. The doorway is gone and you're alone in the freezing dark woods. You always wake up shaking and cold.
