chapter 75

my face twists in utter confusion.

"what do you mean you won't go anywhere?" i ask, straightening out my back a little.

he sighs and moves over to the wall, leaning his back against it and pulling his knees to his chest. then in a quick motion he takes something out of his pocket.

my eyes fall to his hand and i see the vial that is suppose to take me home in his grasp.

i almost choke on the air- why the fuck did he bring that?

"draco why do you have that?" i whisper, slowly looking up to meet his eyes.

he clears his throat and sits the glass bottle in front of me.

"i talked to my mother. i said goodbye."

my eyes widen and it feels like my heart is going abnormally fast. he said goodbye? like forever? does this mean he's gonna leave? like- go back with me?

oh fuck.

oh my god.

"draco. what did you do?" i ask trying to catch my breathe as i speak. my head is spinning and a million thoughts are running through my brain. i can't catch up.

"im not going anywhere- i can't leave you."

"but your mom- and everything." i blurt out- not knowing what to say. i just stare at him, my eyes wide as saucers.

he stares at me and i see sadness wash over his cold face, "do you not want me to go?"

i need you.

"no- no. of course not draco."

"really because-"

but i cut him off by cupping my hands around his face and pulling him towards me, pressing my lips against his and kissing him delicately. i could tell he was a little caught of guard by the sudden movement but relaxed against me, his arms felt around to my waist while his tongue teases me.

"i want you so much draco." i whisper, pulling back until im hovering right above his lips.

"so why are you scared?"

i pull back completely and sit beside him against the treehouse wall.

"you're a death eater draco.." i say hesitantly, "if anyone finds out that you left to the muggle world- which im sure they will. all hell will break lose."

"all hell has already broken lose y/n." he mumbles and i swore i saw a slight smirk on his face which throws me off a little.

i roll my eyes, "but what about your mother." my tone turns deadly serious.

"she says it's best if i leave. she doesn't want to see me live the same life as my father."

"oh." i whisper.

"my mother, she has a cover story that she'll tell everyone. that i ran away or something- she didn't exactly tell me." he explains turning to me fully and holding my hands in his.

"but what if they find you. they'll kill you."

"i know."

i laugh out of shock, running a hand through my hair.

it was cold up in this treehouse but the many blankets and pillows helped warm us up. i still didn't really know how the others didn't realize we were both missing yet. and if they do realize- how long till they find us.

and what would they do if we got caught?

"draco you can't just- i can't let you just risk everything-"

"i'd risk anything for you and you know that."

my eyes start to water and i playfully nudge him in the shoulder, telling him to shut up.

"i told my mom what we are doing. i told blaise and daphne too. i said my goodbyes. im ready. are you?"

i take a deep breath as a tear trickles down my cold cheek. i honestly don't know why im fucking crying. i think it's from a mixture of being happy, being in shock, and being scared.

"don't cry." he whispers, rubbing his thumb over my cheek to take the tears away.

"what if i don't remember you? what if we loose are memories- and you'll lose your magic. we'll loose so much- maybe it's to much."

i don't know why i keep saying stuff that will push him away. i just don't want to hurt him. i really want him to come with me but i don't want to be selfish. am i being selfish?

"we'll be safe y/n." draco says in response.

"once we go- we can't come back. not ever. not even if you want to."

stop pushing him away y/n. you're going to loose him.

he squints at me, taking his hands off my face and looking down at his lap.

"you don't think i know that?" he mumbles still looking down, "that doesn't matter to me y/n. i said i love you and i meant it. you're the only thing that really matters to me now that i think about it. you're the only thing i ever think about. you're the only reason im still here. i've never felt this way about someone- i didn't know i could." he says, saying it very quietly. almost like he is embarrassed to admit it- or scared?

another tear leaks out of my eye and i wrap my arms around him, burying my head into his chest. i notice his heart is beating just as fast as mine.

"i love you, im sorry." i speak into his chest as he wraps his shaky arms around me, holding me tight like he any second i would be taken away.

"i love you." draco whispers, kissing the top of my head repeatedly.

suddenly he pulls away, scooting a little bit over to the side from me and laying down on the wooden floor, blankets spread out above and below us.

draco picks up the vial and hands it to me.

"whenever you're ready." he says, smiling up at me.

"how is this going to work?" i ask as i realize there is only one vial and two of us.

"i have approximately 4 seconds until you leave. i need to kiss you. when i do that- it sends me with you since i have the substance on my lips."

i nod and let out a deep breath.

inhale..123..exhale...123

"it's going to alright y/n, i promise." he whispers, watching my every move.

i smile at him and bend down to kiss him one last time before i take the potion.

our lips crash onto each other and i feel that same spark i feel every-time i kiss draco. the spark though only grows stronger each kiss. it's never ending and i love it. i love this feeling more than words could ever describe.

i pull away and look into those grey sparkling eyes, "im ready."
