Inevitable

66. The Balloon 🎈

He softly started to sing the words to happy birthday and swayed back and forth with me in his lap.

I immediately started crying.
It was such a bittersweet moment because I felt like my mom was with me.

It was so hard for me to sing along, I couldn't do it.

My voice started to break and I sobbed.

"Happy birthday d-dear m- m-mom.
I can't finish." I said shaking my head.

"Happy birthday to you." Draco said ending the song.

He started clapping and kissed my cheek.

"Make a wish for her darling." He said running his fingers through my hair.

I tried blowing the candle out but I was drained and I leaned back against Draco.

"I can't blow it out." I said.
"That's alright, take your time." He said moving my hair out of my face.

I made my lips into an O and lightly blew.
It didn't go out.

"Should we blow it together?" Asked Draco.
I nodded.

Draco leaned over my shoulder and we blew out the candle.

"Good job my love." He took the candle out of the cupcake and placed it on the night stand.

He picked the cupcake up and led it towards my mouth.

"Take a bite." He said.

I shook my head.
"I c-can't." I said back.

"Just 1 for your mom." He said.
I opened my mouth and took a bite.

"That's a good girl." He said wiping my mouth.
He finished the rest of the cupcake and sent the plate away.

I turned around to face him and gave him a kiss.

"Thank you so much Draco. I really needed this." I said kissing his cheek.
"No problem darling I'm always here for you."

"I wish Mattheo was here too." I said.
"Don't worry he's coming soon." Said Draco.

"What do you wanna do now? It's only 9:30?" Asked Draco
I shrugged my shoulders.

A grin grew across his face.
"I have another idea. Come." He said grabbing my hand.

(Mattheos Pov)
"It's 9:30, now what?" I asked.
We were still in our outfits for the dance so if we wanted we could go back.

"I wanna go to sleep." She said.
"Okay let's go to your dorm so you can change out of your dress."

She shook her head.
"No I wanna sleep right now."

She leaned back on my bed and shut her eyes.
"You can't sleep with makeup on your gonna get pimples." I said.

I mean that's what Sierra would tell me.
"I don't care I just wanna close my eyes and do nothing."

"Lay on your back and give me a second."

I walked to the washroom and grabbed a wet wipe.
I walked back and she was lying there with tears in the corners of her eyes.

"I'm sorry I freaked out on you earlier." I said wiping her makeup off.
"That's okay Mattheo." She said back.

"I didn't mean to react like that. It's just drinking to avoid your feelings won't ever turn out the way you want. Trust me." I said.
