They were supposed to be together

Ginny didn't understand. They were supposed to be happy.

Ginny wasn't even aware of the tears running down her cheeks as her lover stared down at her with cold eyes. Her lungs were constricting in her chest making it painful to breathe.

She wanted to ask him 'why?' She wanted to understand. She opened her mouth but no sound came out, so she shut it again. Making a fool out of herself wouldn't help her now. He said something to her, but she couldn't understand the words. They were muffled as though her head was under water. How could he do this? How could this happen?

She had given up everything for him, for them. She had ignored her friend's warnings and her family's wishes… for him. They had a plan, they had a future. They were going to move away from it all and start a family.

Her whole body was going numb; she couldn't feel her fingers or toes. But she felt her head, pounding with the promise of a headache; and she could feel her heart, breaking as each word he had spoken sank in.

What had she done? What had she said? He had never shown any unhappiness with her or their life together. What had changed to make him suddenly not able to stand the sight of her?

She knew his friends never approved of them being together, but he had said he didn't care what they thought. She knew his mother wasn't satisfied with their relationship, and that had hurt him but he endured it because he said she was worth it. And now he had taken it back.

Now he had taken back every word, every promise; every smile, every kiss.

Ginny closed her eyes, not wanting to see his face as he sneered at her despair. She waited to shatter into a million pieces, but she didn't. She waited for the Earth to open up and swallow her whole, but it didn't. All she heard were his unerring footsteps as he walked away from her…

From them. It somehow hurt even more, and Ginny wasn't sure she could handle it.

"Draco," she pleaded even as her voice broke on the word, "don't."

Too late, he did.

A/N: The End! Well, not really. There's going to be a second part to this, not another chapter but another perspective. I'll get right on it! In the meantime, please review! They make me happy and that makes me write, which in turn makes you happy! It'd be a big circle of happy people! :
