Picking up the Pieces

Here you are again. Standing before me, as you have so many times before wearing so many different expressions on you face. Sadness, sorrow, joy, happiness and this, this mixture of guilt and at the same times extreme happiness.

"He's changed," you say. "It's going to be different this time."

How many times have I heard you say those words? Heard that the Prince of Slytherin, Draco Malfoy, has changed? That he's more caring kind and loving that he was all the other times before, that he won't hurt you anymore.

And again, I let you go. The look on your face changes from the guilt-joy mixture to that of pure joy. You look beautiful like this, but then again, I think you look beautiful always. Who could ever deny it? With your long, dark locks (so uncommon for a boy), pale skin and perfect full lips. It's a fact, you are beautiful.

"Oh thank you Harry! I know…I know that this time, this time it will work out."

As you embrace me I can't help but think of the tone you used when saying these words. You sounded as though you were not only trying to convince me, buy yourself as well. You know what is going to happen, he's done it before. Hurt you, use you, break you. A silent mantra that repeats every time you are with him. But, you will take all of this in a stride because you claim that you love him.

Later, when he has again thrown you aside, fate will inevitably throw us back together as it does every time. But, I will take you back. Because, you see Blaise…I love you and will accept anything that you can offer me.

But, in the meantime, I will smile and nod and with my best to you and him all the while dying inside. So, I will wait and watch for the moment that you fall, the moment that you break, so that I can bend down and pick up the pieces.

Thanks for reading and please Review!
