A/N: Sad Ron/Hermione. It's strange, they're my favourite pairing, yet I only have a few stories on them, and the majority of those stories have sad endings... oh well, one more won't hurt... but I suppose it is necessary for me to redeem myself here by saying LONG LIVE R/Hr!

Hope you enjoy 

(Ron's P.O.V.)

November Rain:

"When I look into your eyes, I can see your love restrained,

And darling when I hold you, don't you know I feel the same,

But nothing lasts forever and we both know hearts can change,

And it's hard to hold a candle in the cold November rain."

The tall, red-haired man leant silently against the window-frame as he watched the rain fall from the wintry November sky.

A sudden voice startled him from his reverie, "Ron... I... I'm going..."

The man turned slowly to face the woman who was standing nervously a few paces behind him. He stared at her, his navy eyes intently taking in the look of finality in her amber ones.

He did not say a word as he studied her, and because of his silence, she was growing even more nervous; he could see it in the anxious way she stood, and her refusal to meet his gaze.

After a long and painfully silent moment, he turned away from her to stare out at the rain again.

That surprised her, he heard it in her voice when she said, "Aren't... aren't you going to... to say... goodbye...?"

His shoulders tightened, and he straightened up slightly, but he did not turn around and he did not reply.

"Ron... I must go... my cab is here... I... I'm sorry."

She was crying now, but he refused to acknowledge her. This was her call, this was her doing, and this was her decision. This was her fault. And now she was paying the consequences.

Yet why was it his heart that was being torn to pieces inside his chest?

He forced himself to stop staring at the rain, and he turned once again to face the woman he had loved for the past 10 years.

She was standing in the doorway; her bags clutched in her hands, her eyes full of tears, looking back at him as if she wanted his goddam blessing before she walked out the door and never came back again.

But it wasn't his consent she wanted, he knew that. It was his forgiveness that she was hoping for. His forgiveness for what she'd done. His forgiveness for falling out of love with the man she'd loved for the past 10 years.

Well, she wasn't getting it. She would never get it. He would never give it.

Why? He wanted to scream, why did you do it? Why did you stop loving me? What did I do so wrong? Why did you cheat...? Why don't you love me anymore... why why why why why?

But he did not shout any of this. He simply took one last look at her and said, "Goodbye."

She let out a choked sob, "Ron, please... forgive me!"

Why should I? How could I? You don't deserve it...

She received silence in reply.

"I never meant to hurt you Ron..." Then why did you?

"I never meant for this to happen..." Then why did it?

"I'm so sorry..." Then why...?

This wasn't how it was supposed to be.

"Goodbye Ron."

The door banged shut behind him and he heard her hurried footsteps on the path, then a few moments later, the roar of a car engine sounded, and just like that, she was gone.

And just like that he was all alone.

And just like that he was empty.

And just like that he sunk to the floor, and ran his thumb over the gold wedding band on his finger, and his heart broke.

Outside the rain fell.

Inside he cried.

And it was November and it was raining and she was gone forever and she didn't love him and it was over and he was left with nothing but an insincere wedding ring and his pain and he cried for a long long time.

And that is how it would be remembered, because that is how it ended. In November, in the rain.

Fin.

I hope you enjoyed...

Please R&R...

Long live Ron and Hermione...

Adios, FireAtWill52 :)
