AN: This wasn't really meant to be a companion piece to "Worth Living For" but it could be interpreted as one. I do not own Harry Potter and his friends JK Rowling does "sob". Enjoy reading!
She knew she would always be one of his best friends, but really, Hermione did not want that. She wanted to be his girlfriend, lover, soul mate and wife.
She knew it was impossible to even think about. Everyone was content, Voldemort was long gone and they could carry on with their lives and relationships, Harry had Ginny and Hermione had Ron. But however happy she seemed to look on the outside, she knew it was a lie.
A lie like her acceptance of dating Ron, when really he was her second choice.
A lie like her moans of pleasure when Ron was making love to her, when actually she saw HIS face towering over her.
A lie like her happiness over Harry and Ginny's engagement, when inside she was crumbling.
A lie like the day she cried tears of joy when Ron proposed, although she was really crying because she knew it was too late, HE would never be hers.
A lie like Harry's wedding day when she was maid of honour, she would've given anything to be the bride.
And she was still lying on her wedding day, facing Ron while she spoke her vows but in reality she was looking at the dark haired, emerald eyed wizard who was his best man.
It was for the best, Ron loved her and he was her best friend, maybe she will be happy and learn to love him, Hermione hated this lie the most because as long as Harry was around it wouldn't ever be true.
She just wanted to be his girlfriend, lover, soul mate and his wife.
AN: I would absolutely LOVE reviews, good ones make my day and constructive criticism is welcomed with open arms and some cookies, hehe. Please Review! Hope you liked it!
