Inevitable

78. Progress 📈

The pillows still had my parents scent.

(Draco's Pov)
"I love you mom." She said as she kissed a pillow.

My heart shattered into a million pieces.
Mattheo went to walk over but I stopped him.

"She's in her parents bed which seems like a comfort zone.
Let her have her moment alone." I said.

We watched as she rested her cheek on the pillow.

"I'm keeping these." She said.
She put the pillows into the bag we brought.

She walked over to a jewelry box.
"This was my moms diamond necklace.
She always told me I would get it once I was old enough." Said Sierra.

"This was my dads watch. I'm not really a watch person but my dad had a collection.
This one was his favorite so I have to keep it."
She said.

"Mattheo do you have pockets with buttons? 
I don't want these to get mixed in with everything else." Said Sierra.

She gave him the necklace and watch and he carefully placed them in his pocket.

She walked us to another room and opened a door.

"Welcome to my bedroom." She said.

(Mattheos Pov)
Her bedroom was cozy.
Her entire house was cozy.
It was nothing like the place I grew up in.
I would kill to live in a place like this with parents like hers.

She explained a little memory she had in every room we went in.
Her childhood was perfect.

She jumped on her bed and smiled.
"Look at this." She said.

It was a sloth stuffy.
"Is that a sloth?" Said Draco.

"Yup I had a weird infatuation with sloths when I was a kid." She handed him the stuffy.

"This was my comfort toy when I was little.
I would always have it in my hands through every hard moment." She said.

She walked around her room and examined every little thing.

"Fuck I'm gonna miss my room."

She walked over to Draco and grabbed the stuffy, putting it back on the bed.

"Your not gonna keep it?" Said Draco.
"I really want to but I shouldn't."

She then pulled out a jewelry box.

"My mother gave this to me on my 16th birthday.
She passed away a couple of weeks later."
Said Sierra.

Draco walked over to her and gave her a hug.
She leaned into him and sniffled.

"Thanks Draco I needed that. This is all I'm gonna keep, I'm ready to leave."

(Sierras Pov)
I walked out the doors of my house and gave it one last look.

We then apparated back to hogwarts.

Later That Night
Im getting better at falling asleep but today was different.

Today was the day I let go of my parents.
Not fully but it was a start.

I lie in Draco's bed more often then Mattheos, only because he's better at helping me relax.

I cried into my pillow and was lying in a fetal position.

"I'm not sleeping tonight." I said.
"Wait I have something for you." Said Draco.

Draco stood up and I heard him ruffling in a bag.
"Look." He said.
I turned my head and saw the sloth stuffy I was gonna leave.

"I know you said you didn't want it but I feel like you need it."
