Summary: This is a song fic on a country song called "What Hurts the Most" by Rascal Flatts. It tells exactly what hurts the most. It's got nothing bad in it, so please read, review, and enjoy.
I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house,
That don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then
And just let them out
I'm not afraid to cry
Every once in a while
Even though goin on
With you gone
Still upsets me
There are days
Every now and again
I pretend I'm okay
But that's not what gets me
Draco had done it again. He hated how he always messed every good thing in his life up. Hermione had left that afternoon, deciding he "wasn't worth it because he didn't love her". All he thought was how could he not love her. She was perfect. He had never seen anyone quite as intelligent or quiet as loyal or quite as brave. He didn't know what to do as she walked out of his life.
What hurts the most,
was being so close
And having so much to say
And watchin you walk away
Never knowing,
what could have been
And not seein that lovin you
Is what I was tryin to do
Three days later, Draco had a doctor's appointment. He decided to walk as he "needed the exercise", when really he just wanted to pass Hermione's apartment. When he passed all their old friends, he smiled warmly at them and started talking to them, pretending like nothing had happened. Inside, he felt like he was drowning.
It's hard to deal with the pain of losing
you everywhere I go
But I'm doin it
It's hard to force that smile
when I see our old friends and I'm alone
Still harder gettin up,
gettin dressed,
livin with this regret
But I know
if I could do it over
I would trade,
give away
all the words that I saved
in my heart
that I left unspoken
When Draco got home that night, he grabbed a bottle of fire whiskey and his wand. He locked and warded the door, just in case. He didn't think he could go on, if it wasn't for the fire whiskey. He decided that it wasn't fair that his one true love had left him in the dust. Apparently she had moved out of her apartment two days ago and had left town. No one knew where she was.
What hurts the most,
is being so close
And having so much to say
And watchin you walk away
Never knowing,
what could have been
And not seein that lovin you
Is what I was tryin to do
When Draco finally went to bed, he decided that he had to get her back, but how. He knew how, he had to prove to her that he loved her. He had an idea, but was loathe to implement it. He knew it would take a letter, a letter written in his blood and with care and love.
What hurts the most,
was being so close
And having so much to say
And watchin you walk away
And never knowing,
what could have been
And not seein that lovin you
Is what I was tryin to do
Draco slept for a day and a half before his dreams became too much. He didn't know what it was, but he felt he had to chase after Hermione, to prove his love to her. Later that day, he packed his bags and wrote two letters. One to his boss, saying he was leaving, and one to Hermione, saying he was coming after her.
not seein that lovin you
that's what I was tryin to do
Hermione received a letter five days after leaving Draco from said person. She read it and began to cry. She couldn't help it. He actually loved her and was coming after her. She read the letter again and the verse from her favorite song stuck out.
"What hurts the most,
was being so close
And having so much to say
And watchin you walk away
And never knowing,
what could have been
And not seein that lovin you
Is what I was tryin to do"
The letter actually sang the song, and she knew what it meant. She knew that he loved her and this was his way of saying it. She knew that he would probably never voice it, but she knew it and he knew it and that's all that matters.
