REVISED. Old Songfic. Hopefully a bit better than the first version.
"I'm not doing this anymore Draco! I'm not someone you can just treat badly, I won't take it! Actually in fact I'm not going to take it, I'm leaving Draco and I'm not coming back!" Hermione yelled at her fiancé.
Hermione ran up to the bedroom that they shared together; at least they did until now because she knew she wasn't coming back again. She grabbed the suitcase, grabbed all her clothes and threw them in; she'd come back for the rest of her belongings later but right now she just wanted desperately to leave the house.
Hermione looked around the bedroom as she hovered over their, his bed, and then looked down at her hand, the hand with that finger...the finger with her engagement ring from him. Hermione slid the ring off of her finger and placed it on her side of the bed, and turned to leave.
I don't think I want this anymore
As she drops the ring to the floor
She says to herself: 'You've left before
This time you will stay gone, that's for sure
Hermione walked down the stairs, through the hall. She knew she had never made it past this point; but this time it was right out the front door to the drive way for her...
And he shattered something else
To drag her suitcase down the path,
To the driveway.
She had never gone that far.
Hermione heard Draco stumble up the stairs then a shattering sound; he must have seen the ring she left behind... Hermione guessed he broke their picture of the both of them the night they got engaged , that had its place on their nightstand.
Normally this would be the time
that she would let him talk her out of leaving,
But this time, without crying,
as she got into her car, she said,
Hermione just kept walking to the driveway; she opened the trunk to her car and put her belongings inside. She opened her car door and got in; put the key in the ignition starting the car. She heard the front door open he was going to try and stop her just like he did every time before, this time was different because this time she wasn't going to let him convince her to stay.
Hermione looked at herself in the rear view mirror and said "I deserve better, I won't cry, I won't a let another tear drop fall for him ever again".
No happily never after,
that just ain't for me, because finally
I know I deserve better after all,
I'll never let another teardrop fall
Hermione put the car in gear and slowly began to drive away with a smile on her face, something she no longer recognized until now. She didn't know where she was going and that was perfectly fine with her. All she needed to know was that she wasn't going back to him.
As she drove away she starts to smile,
Realized she hadn't for a while.
No destination, she drove for miles
Wondering why she stayed in such denial.
"I'm done, I am so done...I'm free" Hermione said to herself with such relief as she breathed the fresh air of no drama.
I'm done, I'm done, said I'm so done
I'm free, I'm free, so free
Free to feel the way I feel, yeah
She inhales a breath she'd never breathed before
Don't want no drama no more.
