The last week has been slightly ... odd, well any time spent with Addie is going to be odd. She had recently been fired from her job so had plenty of time to hang out with me, so we decided we were going to decorate my house which meant she was around a lot. How did Draco take this? Surprisingly well actually. I guess with Addie around it meant we couldn't argue and make our problems worse, we were still slightly mad at each other though and would just ignore each other when Addie left. An added bonus for me was the less alone time with Draco the less likely I was to ... well the closer I was to winning the bet.

So today we were painting the bedroom a minty green, and bopping and singing along to Natasha Bedingfield.

"I wanna have your babies," I sang to Addie while sloshing some paint on the walls.

"That's convenient, I don't want to go through labour, but if your volunteering I won't say no" She said and I laughed.

"Hey! That's not the next line" I whined and flicked paint in her direction.

"Oi" she shrieked and flicked paint back "That's not the kind of behaviour I expect from the mother of my future babies" we laughed and began what would have been the fourth extreme paint war of our lives if we hadn't been interrupted by my darling husband announcing his arrival.

"Honey, I'm home!" he yelled up the stairs and I rolled my eyes at the line.

"Hey I have an idea" I whispered and smiled mischievously. Addie raised an eyebrow urging me to continue so I dipped my hands in the paint and grabbed her arse leaving two green handprints on her backside. She grinned manically and did the same only leaving handprints on my boobs. We quickly got back to our painting and singing as we heard footsteps reach the top of the stairs. "Hey honey!" I chirped as Draco walked through he door and gave him a quick peck and got back to painting. I began singing along with the chorus again and held in my laughter at the look of shock on his face, I guess he's never heard this song. "What?" I asked innocently and grinned as his eyes locked onto the green handprints on my top. "What?" I asked again trying to ignore Addie's giggles. I watched as Draco's eyes travelled to the handprints on Addie. "Are you staring at her arse?" I asked trying to sound pissed.

"What?! No!!" he sputtered out. By now Addie was in hysterics. "Actually yeah I was" he said when he'd had time to think. "And what's with the handprints?"

"Why I have no idea what you mean?" Addie choked out. I burst out laughing as Draco just pointed to my chest. "Oh, those handprints" she said like she had just realised. "Well truthfully I can't keep my hands off your wife" she said pulling me into a hug "She's so gosh darn cute!"

"That's just wrong" he spat in disgust

"You know a lot of men would actually like this ... well I know a lot of men that would actually like this" Addie stated matter of factly

"Whatever" Draco sighed giving up "Keira, I bumped into a friend and invited him for dinner is that ok with you?"

"You have friends??" Addie asked in shock and Draco just glared at her.

"Of course it's ok, only fair really, I'm beginning to think we pick on you too much." I said as sincerely as possible.

"Seriously?" Addie said looking at me as if I'd been sick all down myself.

"Of course not, but I'm trying to be nice" I said as if I was talking to a moron ... which I sort of was, but a very loveable moron.

"Well I'd appreciate it if you two cleaned up a bit before he sees you" Draco said interrupting mine and Addie's staring contest.

"Okie dokes" I sang and ran out of the room holding Addie's hand.

"In separate rooms!" I heard Draco yell after us which caused me and Addie to burst into giggles until we bumped into something solid.

"Sorry!" I yelled as I realised we had actually bumped into a person 'Must be Draco's friend' I thought to myself. It wasn't until I'd actually gotten back to my feet and dusted myself off that I decided to check out who it was.

"Marcus Flint!" Addie hissed and I froze. I couldn't think, couldn't speak and at one point I'm pretty sure I was unable to breathe.

"Hello Keira" He said and smiled arrogantly. I felt myself begin to gag and ran into the nearest bathroom and threw up the contents of my stomach.

"Get the fuck out of this house and never come back" Addie growled at Flint

"Now, now Addison, that's not very polite" He chuckled

"Eat shit and die!" she yelled viciously

"What's going on here?" Draco asked curiously as he walked up to them

"He needs to leave" Addie said not once breaking away from the death glare she was giving Flint.

"Look mate, your Mrs and her friend are crazy" Flint said tiredly "Can I use your toilet while you sort this out?" he asked Draco

"Yeah, sure" Draco said with a nod and pointing down the hall "It's that way". Addie went to try and stop Flint but was held back by Draco.

"What's going on?" he hissed

"How could you invite him!" she spat "After what he did to Keira-"

"What did he do to Keira?" Draco asked urgently

"You don't know!" she stated as her eyes widened. "Why didn't she tell you? Didn't you wonder?"

"Wonder about what?" he asked getting more than a little frustrated.

"The scar on her back" Addie said quietly

"She didn't want to talk about it" he muttered "Wait, did Marc do that?" he asked shaking Addie as it might make her answer quicker.

"It's not my place to say but yeah" she said.

"Where's Keira?" he asked sounding worried. Addie pointed in the same direction to where he had sent Marcus. "Shit!"

I had moved from the bathroom to the bedroom and sat on the floor and cried. The pain and the fear were too overwhelming. I hadn't noticed someone enter the room until they spoke. "Hello Keira" Flint said and suddenly I felt like ice was running through my veins and once again I froze. "What's the matter?" he asked mockingly as he slowly walked over to me.

"Stay the fuck away from me" I managed to squeak out and he laughed.

"We both know I can't do that" he said with a smile as he reached me. I flinched as he went to touch me and tried to push him away but instead he pulled me up by my shoulders so my feet were barely touching the ground. I began to cry again, my head was screaming at me to do something but I couldn't. "Hush" he growled and dug his fingers into my shoulder harder, which only made me cry out more. Suddenly the door burst open and revealed Draco and Addie in the doorway, both of them looked pissed. Flint let me go and I slumped back down to the floor and sobbed loudly. "I just wanted to see if she was ok" Flint said sounding convincingly concerned.

"I think you should leave" Draco said coldly with his eyes narrowed on Flint.

"Alright then" he said with a small smile "See you around mate" he chuckled and dissaperated. Immediately Addie rushed over to me and tried to pull me into a hug and I tried to fight her off until I just gave up and cried into her shoulder. Draco just looked at me confused, like he didn't recognise me.

"I'm just going to ... leave..." he muttered and walked off leaving Addie to console me as we sat on the bedroom floor.

"Keira!" I heard Draco yell and I woke up instantly.

"What?" I asked but it came out as a sob and I realised my throat was sore.

"You were screaming in your sleep" he told me looking concerned.

"Oh, I'm sorry" I muttered and lay back down to try and go back to sleep.

"What did Flint do to you?" he asked quietly.

"It doesn't matter, I'm fine" I snapped rolling away so I didn't have to face him

"Yes it does matter and your not fine, people who are fine don't scream while they sleep and I know he's the reason you've got that scar on your back." He hissed

"Well there you go then, mystery solved, case closed can I go back to sleep now?" I asked agitated.

"No, it's more than the scar. Keira you were scared out of your mind, I've never seen you like that not even in front of the dark lord, it wasn't like you and it was worrying. So obviously Flint did more to you than give you that scar. Tell me what he did!" He demanded.

"Look" I said exasperatedly "You know what you need to, that I never want that bastard near me ever again and for real reasons, not just being irrational, but I don't want to get into what happened again ... I can't ok" I said and felt my eyes begin to tear up.

"Ok" Draco sighed. "Go back to sleep"

"Ok" I sniffed and tried to make myself comfortable. Five minutes later I was still awake, I was still afraid.

"Keira?" Draco whispered.

"What?" I mumbled.

"Your shaking" he stated.

"Am I?" I asked stupidly to myself and laughed a little when I realised he was right. "Sorry" I muttered as I tried to control myself.

"Come here" here said softly. And he sighed as I didn't move because I was trying to work out if he really said that. Instead he pulled me to him gently so my back was against his chest and he held me so that I was still. "Now relax and go to sleep, you'll be fine." Oddly enough it made me feel safe, and what was stranger was that I didn't mind that it was Draco that made me feel safe. Rather than worrying about that I tried to relax and sleep like he said.

"Thanks Draco" I whispered before drifting off into a peacefull sleep.
