Hey yall. Just wanna say, I love reading your comments and predictions about what will happen as the story progresses. But please don't pm me asking for a specific ending. I have the end already decided and it won't change❤

Draco's pov

Did I ruin everything?

That was the only question going through my mind as I was pacing around the room waiting for Ava. Or perhaps Sabrina.

I knew full well that she was Sabrina when she selected the name Ava to go by. But yet I didn't say a single word and let her go with it. I pretended to be a stranger.

But in all honesty, was it really pretense. I knew about her, but I never got the chance to know who she really was. And these two years gave me that. I came to know her as Ava. And she would always be that for me.

And because of this reason, though I should've been regretting keeping the truth from her, I wasn't guilty. How could I be? Me hiding the truth from her not only brought my daughter a mother and me a friend and so much more, but it also kept her away from Adam, who hurt her.

But standing here, waiting for her, made me worry what if whatever I and Lia got would be taken away.

I didn't have to anticipate anymore though, because soon after Ava walked out of the room.

"Ava," I started

But she interrupted me as she started speaking,

"Don't say anything please. Let me speak. I have so much to say"

Feeling my heart drop, I nodded,

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for being angry with you without asking you for an explanation. I...I'm sorry for comparing you with Adam. I'm sorry for ever thinking low of you"

I expected her to be angry at me and scream at me. But her apologising shocked me completely. She shouldn't be the one to apologise. I should. Afterall, I was the one who hid the truth.

"You don't have..."

"No Draco. I have to. I really have to apologise"

She walked towards me and brushed her hand with mine. Seeing her gesture, I inter locked our fingers. Her eyes turned glossy at my gesture.

"You...you gave me a home. You gave me a family. You showed me love.And keeping me here, you protected me too. You kept me away from Adam and protected me from foolishly trusting him again. You are not selfish. You are far from it. I wish.. I wish I had the ability to love after everything I lost, because God, how could I ever find a more perfect guy to love than you?"

Using my other hand, I held her jaw and made her look directly into my eyes.

My heart broke at her words. She didn't think she could love. But she was wrong. Completely wrong. I saw her love and I knew damn well that her heart was big enough for love even after getting hurt terrible.

"Ava. You have the ability to love. It's part of you and it will always be there. It was love when you stayed awake the whole night with me when I had to complete a work overnight. It was love when you started crying after Lia broke her hand once. Every time you took care of Lia, every time you rocked her to sleep, every time you made me breakfast cause I would be cranky when I woke up, every time you laughed with us at our happiness and cried with us at our woes, it was all love.

You love me and Lia. And I love you. I love you so damn much. And even if you think you don't have the ability to love, I'll always have enough love for both of us"

She gently smiled as I said that

"You are right. I love you. I do. I love you and Lia both. Whatever we have is love.

And because of that love, I want you to be free."

She then proceeded to place her hand on my chest, just above my heart. She then continued,

"I want you to free Draco. I know when you love someone, that person will be the luckiest human alive. And so I want you to fall in love with someone else. I want you to move on. I want you to fall in love with someone else who can give every part of her to you.

I'll always be there with you Draco. Always. I'll always be there for you when you need a friend or just when you need someone to talk to. And Lia will always be my daughter.

But I won't be here to love you the way the want me to. Cause that's just not possible for me. I have to fight my demons and I have to leave my past behind. I have to heal. And for that, love isn't enough. For that, I have to be strong myself. Without anyone's help"

She was right. And because of the fact that her words were complete truth, it hurt me even more

I would be there for her. But I couldn't heal her. And I wouldn't try to. Some battles are meant to be fought alone.

"Okay," I lightly whispered

"Okay?"

I didn't reply anymore. I bent down to kiss her. This would be our last kiss. After that we would let each other go. Completely.

I poured my heart out in the kiss and she kissed me back with equal fervor.

And when we stopped, I pushed back a strand of her hair behind her ear and just stared at her, admiring the beauty in front of me.

"You are right love. I'm ready. I'm ready to let you go"

My classes have started, so I thought of making a quick small update before I get drowned in schoolwork

Many people were discussing about how Sabrina did not feel any passion and sparks while kissing Draco.
Previously, whenever they kissed, she found warmth and love in his kiss. But because she thought Draco betrayed her, all these feelings were lost. I hope I made it clear.

And about the convo between Draco and Sabrina, this is something I've been thinking about alot lately. In my opinion, love is important. But it's not everything.It can't take away all your pain and it can't heal you from things you suffered. Everyone has to love themselves first and heal on their own. Love should be a source of happiness. Not something you should be codependent on to hide your pain. Cause in the words of John Green-"Pain demands to be felt"

Oh and also, Sabrina loves Draco. But not in a romantic way. Just making sure everything is clear😂
