Prologue

The wind was blowing quite hard and it was making me feel chilled. Tears fell from my eyes as I stood up and went inside my house. I sat down on a wicker chair and took my wand from my pocket. Instantly, a pot of water was getting heated as I close my eyes stopping the tears from flowing.

I gazed outside and found that the wind just grew stronger. My eyes noticed an unopened letter on the sidetable. I gingerly picked it up and saw Ginny's very familiar and messy handwriting.

Mione,

Hey. How are you? Haven't heard from you in a while. I miss you. You should come here at The Burrow this summer before school starts again! Harry's already here. It's not the same without you anymore, Mione. Please come. The boys are taking over.

And Mum's also saying she misses you. She says that she needs you here due to Phlegm. Phlegm is pretty irritating. Always kissing the boys, acting like a know-it-all. Harry and Ron are pretty much enjoying it. So you see why we need you.

And last… Mione, he's an asshole. He doesn't deserve you. I hope you feel better.

Ginny

More tears fell from her eyes as she read the last line. Yes, he is an asshole. He cheated on me. He doesn't treat me right in front of his friend. He always made me cry. He broke my heart into tiny million pieces and stepped on it. He ruined me.

He used to tell me that he's so lucky that he met me. That he's so lucky that a girl like me would fall for him. He used to tell me that he loves me all the time. I don't know what happened. Because after six months of dating he treated me like a piece of trash.

~flashback~

"Draco!" He jumped and turned around. I saw a girl behind him, her hands on his thighs. He looked at me with ease. "Is there any problem, Hermione?" He asked.

"Any problem? ANY PROBLEM? I just saw my boyfriend snogging someone else in public!" People are now watching us but I don't care. Ginny's holding onto me in case I jumped on him and smack him hard like I did when we were in Year 3.

He smiled at me. "Don't you get, Mione? You're dumped. As in, D-U-M-P-E-D."

"But you said you love me."

"I never did love you. You're just good in bed. But I found someone better." He smirked and went back to business with Astoria. As much as I hate it, tears flowed from my eyes. "I HATE YOU, DRACO MALFOY! I HATE YOU!" I ran back and heard Ginny call after me.

But I was lying. Even though he treated me like that, I can't hate him. Even if I tried. I saw my parents walking down the path, their hands intertwined, and their gaze full of love. I can't take it anymore. I ran upstairs to my room and slammed the door. I collapsed on the bed, crying hard. The pain that he left inside me is not healing. We have broken up four months ago and I can't move on.

My heart still yearns for him. I tried to block all precious and sweet memories I had with him but I can't. I can't handle this feeling I have inside. I sat up and noticed a blade on my dresser. I stood up and took it. My reflection stared back at me.

"It's better than emotional pain, right?" I told myself. I drove the blade into my flesh skin and it felt good. Blood oozed out but I don't care. It doesn't hurt. It felt good. I drove it again and another gash formed, more blood oozing. I put the blade down and stared at my wounds. For the first time in four months, I found myself smiling and feeling good.

And I knew that from now on, things will never be the same.
