Chapter 12: Bleeding Heart
"Ginny get up now please if you have a plan to go to school" Ron said as he knocked on Ginny's room. He waited for an answer but she didn't respond so he tried to open her room and to his surprise Ginny was not there. He search the whole room, checked in her bathroom and walk in closet but she's not there, Ron found a not on her bed saying "Ron I didn't woke you up and I will not go with you to school; I just take a bus see you there. I'll be at the gym" - Ginny.
When he read the note he sighed in relief and prepares himself for school and decided to go to school early.
He reach their school in just a short while and he found Ginny at the gym wearing her volleyball uniform instead of her school uniform and she's doing a warm up activity for herself. Ginny seemed to be happy but the sadness that's in her cannot be concealed by her make up and by the ball that she's playing her eyes were obviously tired of crying and they're still puffy.
"Hey why are you so early?" he asked her as he walk towards her and handed her a clubhouse sandwich that he made for her
"Thanks Ron" she said as she force a fake smile "I just wanted to have a warm up that's why I come here early" she added as she took a bite on her sandwich "have you seen my mobile?" she added
"Yes I've seen it at the top of your study table this morning I thought you left it intended" Ron answered
"Ah ok" she said
"Sis, do you trust me?" Ron asked
Ginny already know where this discussion will go "Yes you're my brother, the closest to me but I think I'm not yet ready to tell you what happened last night" she said
"Ginny I want you to know that I'm just here whenever you want a shoulder to cry on I love you sis" he said and he stand up and headed out of the gym.
"I know thanks Ron" she muttered to herself
Ginny spent a little more time at the gym to warm up and to forget what happened to him and her last night.
It's already 7:00a.m and she decided to stop playing she headed to their locker and change into school uniform. It took her ten minutes to change in school uniform so when she was about to exited thy gym she put her shades so the people would not notice her puffy eyes and headed to her own locker this early to avoid Harry too. She headed to her own locker and notices someone's there too. A boy with black hair whose back is facing her so she didn't took her glasses off. She quietly opens her locker and takes her books with her and headed to their class room.
It's been a terrible day for her from her first class to her last her friends keep on asking what happened to her and her eyes. But of course she couldn't tell them what had happened because the real reason is just a secret between her and the one. Her friends are insisting to know what had happened that made her explode and she scolded them that made her friends jump.
"How many times do I have to tell you guys that I couldn't tell you what happened? Ok Harry and I are not together anymore that's why my eyes are like this aside from that I couldn't tell the other things anymore. Please stay away from me I don't want to be with you" she yelled at them and she broke into a cry again.
"Ok Ginny I just want you to know that whatever happens we're just here beside you, and we're ready to listen to you when you have problems" Anna said softly and reach for her but she shoved her hand away and started to walk away from them.
"We should know what happened." Katie stated as she look to their friends and everyone nodded.
"Albin, do you have a practice with the basketball team today?" Katie asked
"Yes later around 3 p.m why?" he asked back
"Good the volleyball team will be having a practice too, so do you think you can ask Harry what happened?" she ask
"I think yes, but I'm not sure if he's going to answer" Albin answered
"Kat, I think we should go to the gym now we still have a practice" Anna said then the four of them headed to the gym and separate their ways to change into a uniform.
Anna and Katie started to walk towards the girl's locker room and there they found Ginny still on her school uniform and crying. The girls sat beside Ginny and Katie encapsulates her into a hug and tried to calm her and later on the other team members came inside and ask her what happened but didn't have an answer.
Kathleen pulled Anna outside the room and asks "Anna, what happened to her?" she asked "No one knows Kathleen, all I know is that Harry and she were not together anymore" Anna answered. "What?" Kathleen asked shock she placed her hand on her mouth. "Why? What's the reason?" she asked again "Kath, she didn't told us what happened all she said was the two of them were not together anymore" Anna stated. "So that's why Harry seemed to be floating and also have red eyes like her" Kathleen said. "Earlier today I saw Ron and Harry at the parking area both looked puzzled and I think Anna, Harry has no idea too on what happened" Kathleen stated. "I think we should ask the others if they know something" Anna said. "Yeah right Anna I think I'll ask Daniel and Hermione later" Kathleen said then both of them go back inside and saw Ginny in her volleyball uniform.
"I think everyone's here, girls gather around please" Ginny announced then the girls gathered around her including the former captain... Everyone's staring at her
"I cannot manage the team this time" she stated and all were shocked on her announcement
"So what do you mean?" Gabriella asked
"I mean I cannot be your leader for now or even at the championship I cannot get my head on the game" she answered
"So you're trying to say is that you're going to give someone your position temporarily?" Vanessa asked
"Exactly" she simply answered
"Hey you can't do that Madam Hooch will disqualify you when she found this out" the other girl said
"Don't worry she'll not find this out" she said
"How can you be sure?" Anna asked
"You're not going to rat me out are you?" she said and all fell silent
"So who would be our team captain?" Katie asked
"Emma" she answered
"Hey are you sure Ginny? The championship is just 3 weeks from now" Emma said
"I'm sure Em you're a great captain, the team became champion in three consecutive years under your leadership, if you're still worrying about Madam Hooch don't worry she'll not find this out and I will still be playing" she stated "Are you accepting the position again?" she added.
"If it's ok for the team" she said and the team nodded in approval then Emma became the acting captain off the team they headed to the gym. Ginny was the last one who exited the locker are and from the inside she can hear someone screaming who seemed to be mad, and she recognize the voice it was Harry. She felt her self became pale and she forced herself to walk to the gym and she saw her team mates setting up the volleyball net as she walk towards her team she can still hear him yelled at the team while the other control themselves for him, and when she's about to reach her post at the volleyball court a basketball ball landed on her face that made dizzy and fall on the ground that made the gym silent and all attentions turned to her. She turned her head to the basketball team's direction and she noticed that all of the players look at her then to Harry. Ron immediately approaches her and pick up the ball.
"Who threw that ball?" she asked loud enough for the people to hear her especially the basketball team
"Hey that was an accident Ginny" Ron said as he grab her arms and help her to stand up
"I just wanted to know" she answered back
"Well... uh..." Ron stuttered
"Who?" she asked
Ron leaned forward to her and whispered "Sis Harry threw that ball, stay calm please I don't know what happened to the two of you, I'm sure he didn't plan it".
"Ok. Is he your new captain?" she whispered back
"Nope, it's still Albin he just wants to help him" he answered
"That's why he's bossing you all?" Ginny asked
"Uhm maybe but we understand I guess and Albin also understand" Ron answered back and walk back to his team.
Ginny headed to the bench near the volleyball court and rest for awhile and after that she called the whole team and they began to warm up and follow their plans, Emma will be the boss until the championship game they tried to pretend that nothing's happening to the tea.
"Ok team line up" Emma commanded then they all follow Ginny and her are in different sides of the court. Emma's team includes Vanessa, Gabriella, Anna, Belle, Apple while on Ginny's side were Kathleen, Bonnie, Katie, Hermione and Luna.
Ginny served the ball and the game went good and straight but cut when she got her head off the game when she heard Albin call for time out and heard the boys saying "Hey Harry wake up are you alright?" she was hit by the volleyball ball then their practice has stopped. She almost want to run beside him but control herself especially when she heard someone squealed and run fast towards Harry's side she didn't have to look who was that because her voice is recognizable.
"Harry love wake up please" the girl pleaded that made Ginny blush in jealousness and because of anger. All her team mates look at her with sympathy and the basketball players look at her too. Hermione rushed to Harry's side and tried to push the girl away from him
"What are you doing?" Hermione asked
"I'm trying to wake up my boy" Cho replied
"What?" Hermione said
"My boyfriend don't tell me that you're his girlfriend" Cho said
"No he's my best friend please get off he love someone" she said
"I hope that's not you" Cho said as she displayed a grin on her face. Hermione looks she's about to slap Cho, Ron grabbed her hand and pulled her up.
"So he's your boyfriend? Ron Weasley the brother of the dimwitted ex girlfriend of my love Harry Potter" Cho said
"If you don't shut up I swear I will spank you" Ron said then he escorted Hermione back to the volleyball court, and he saw his sister just stared at him and do nothing.
"Ok team line up let's proceed" she forced herself to announce this and forced herself to smile.
"Are you sure we continue this?" Luna asked her
"Why not? I'm alright Luna" she said as she forced herself to smile again
"Please Ginny don't try to smile I can see that you're hurt, I know the feeling Ginny so please don't fake it." she stated
"Let's have another" she whispered as she tried to fight back her tears
"Ginny please" Hermione said and Ginny look at her who's now crying
"Why are you crying Hermione?" she walks towards her and embrace her
"Why are not you crying?" she asked back
"Why should I?" she asked bitterly
"Did you know what happened to him? Of course not he faint Ginny that's why he needs to be taken at the clinic. He needs you" Hermione said between her sobs, Ginny's trying to fight her tears
"He'll be alright Hermione, Cho's on his side she can take care of him" she said as she turned her back to her tell Emma to serve the ball. Everyone's shock of her decision, Emma just followed her instruction.
Their practice became good but until now Ginny's not moving and didn't try to block a ball.
"Ok girls time's up let us just continue tomorrow when we can focus in the game" Emma announced as she started to walk to the players' locker area. The other team members looked at Ginny who looked stunned and they also begin to walk to the locker area, the basketball team has also stopped their practice because of Harry. Anna, Katie, Belle and Luna pulled Ginny to their locker room because she looks like she's going to broke down anytime.
They reach the locker room and make Ginny sit on the bench everyone's staring at her.
"Why didn't you come with him?" Hermione ask her still crying
"He didn't need me there Mione what's so hard to understand?" she answered as she started to walk towards her locker
"What's hard to understand? Well I don't understand why you are not bothered that Cho is with him at the clinic and not you?" Hermione ask her again all the players are watching the two of them
"The answer is simple Hermione" she took breathe "I'm not there because were not together anymore" she answered as she headed to the shower area. The whole team watch her walk all of them are concerned and all of them look puzzled.
Ginny entered the shower room and she swear she could still hear Hermione's voice lecturing her she just ignore it and open the shower so the sound of water will drown Hermione's voice. She stood under the shower with her volleyball uniform trying to forget what she had witnessed at the gym.
~HpGw~ ~HpGw~ ~HpGw~
The basketball team took Harry to the clinic Cho followed them until they reach the clinic but they didn't let her in the clinic.
"What happened to him" Madam Pomfrey asked the boys
"The ball landed on his head ma'am that made him faint" Daniel explained
"Are you sure that it's the only thing that happened?" the nurse asked
"Yes" all of them answered. The nurse checked his blood pressure and gets her stethoscope and examined Harry's heartbeat
~HpGw~ ~HpGw~ ~HpGw~
Everyone was shocked on what they heard from the nurse how come that Harry didn't tell them about that? The got out from the clinic and saw Cho outside
"Hey why are you still following us?" Ron asked her rudely
"I want to be with him, he needs me" she answered
"No he don't, and I'm sure about that" Ron answered back as he tried to push her
Harry moved a little and murmured something, so the whole team comes closer to him to hear what he had said...
"Harry, are you alright?" Draco whispered then Harry whispered something again
"G...n...y love" he repeated
"I'm here dear I'm here beside you" Cho rushed to his side and took his hand no one heard him say Ginny so they just let Cho to be on his side.
"I love you" Harry said he didn't attempt to open his eyes to see who's beside him
"I love you too Harry" Cho said as she put her head on his chest. The other team members' just watch them all are puzzled on what's happening
"What's happening here?" a girl asked everyone turned around to see who's the girl and it was Hermione. Tears are still flowing from her eyes, she attempted to attack Cho to pull her from Harry side but Ron blocked her way
"Let go Ron I'm serious" Hermione yelled as she tried to escape from Ron's arms
"Sshh Hermione he will be awake if you shout" Ron said as he tried to pull Hermione out of the clinic "Where's Ginny?"
"I won't stop Ron, I want to know what's happening why is Cho on his side and you guys are just watching" she said as she looks to the boys who are at the clinic too. Gabriella, Vanessa, Kathleen and their other friends are also there to look for Harry. "Ginny's still at the gym at the shower room to be exact and don't expect that she's coming here"
"No one knows what had happened Hermione." Ron said with a higher pitch of voice "There is only one who can answer our questions Mione, its Ginny" he said and their other friends nodded in agreement. "You need to know something about Harry" he added
"So Ginny is still at the shower room? Who's with her?" Ron asked Hermione
"I don't know I was the first one who got out from the gym after Ginny came to the shower room" Hermione said who's still sobbing
"Katie, Luna and Anna are still there when I exited the gym, I am the last one who got out of there" Kathleen joined the conversation of the two
"Thanks Kathleen" Ron said as he get his arms off Hermione and he rushed to the gym
"Ron, where are you going?" Hermione yelled but Ron didn't answer her.
~HpGw~ ~HpGw~ ~HpGw~
Ginny sat at the floor as she stayed under the shower and she know that she's the only one who was left at the gym and at the shower room so she didn't care on her position at the shower room. She's trying to soak herself, drown herself under the shower. She stood up and look at the shower trying to drown herself she didn't care of the water enter at he nose all she want is to forget everything she thought that the water can carry her memories, her tears flowed with the water from the shower, she continued to stood under the shower. I hate my self she murmured as her sobs are getting louder and louder... The volleyball team's quarter became silent that the drops of water on the floor became deafening for her but she stayed under the shower and think something aside from him but she just couldn't 'coz whatever she tried to think, in the end she found herself thinking of him again that made her life worse because of decision.
~HpGw~ ~HpGw~ ~HpGw~
Ron reached the gym and saw Anna, Luna and Katie
"Girls, where is Ginny?" He asked
"She's still at the shower room" Luna replied as they headed out the gym
"Who's with her?"
"She's alone at the quarters" Anna said "how's Harry?" she asked
"Not good" Ron said then he walks towards the girl's quarters
"Ginny" he called
"That's Ron" Ginny told herself
"What are you doing here? You're not allowed here dimwit I'm here at the shower room" Ginny replied bitterly
"Are you descent?" Ron asked
"Yes" she answered
Ron entered the shower room and found his sister sitting at the floor with her clothes on, with puffy and red eyes; he can tell that she's crying under the shower
"Hey Gin get up please we need to talk" Ron pleaded as he tried to approach her and made her stand
"Stay there Ron what do we need to talk about?" she asked
"Harry" Ron simply answered
"Ron if you would ask me what happened I'll stick to my answer to you last night" Ginny answered
"No sis not this time you need to know something important about him that I'm sure you didn't know" Ron said
"I'm not interested" she answered bitterly
"Even if it's about his life?" he asked
"Yes!" she answered but deep inside she really want to know
"Fine Ginny I'm tired of you, I'm tired of convincing you while you're in your stubborn state" Ron said as he started to walk out of the shower room. "When you're done there Ginny go home straight take the car you can drive right and you have your license Mum and dad's not there just go home and do not wait for me. I'll put my things car and the car key at your locker please bring my things in my room" he added
"You're not going home?" she asked
"No, so take care of yourself lock the doors and the windows I got my keys here" he responded as he continued to walk
"Wait Ron" she said as she stood up and followed him
"I don't think that you're interested Ginny" he replied
"Well I am" Ginny said
"I'll go to the hospital" he said
"Who's at the hospital?" she asked
"Him Ginny" he said as he look on her and saw that tears started to gather in her eyes again. Ginny didn't move "ok she simply answered" she said as she tried to fight back her tears. Ron looked at her with furrowed brows. Ginny came back to the shower room and Ron got back to the clinic and get his friends and drove them to the hospital using Harry's car.
~HpGw~ ~HpGw~ ~HpGw~
What happened to him? I really want to know but I can't I made a promise. I cannot break that promise it's because of the championship of the school that's why. Thoughts run on Ginny's mind as she came back under the shower she now cries more and intense.
It's getting late that she decided to get out of the shower and change her clothes.
She carried her and Ron's things at the car and started to drive home.
While at the road Ginny's keep on thinking on what had really happened to Harry, but she just can't she must not go to him.
She reached their home by 6 p.m. and put the car at the garage and Ron's things at his room and hers to her room and pick her phone from the study table and turned it on and left it again, she headed down the kitchen to cook some food for herself her mind still wondering on Ron's statement "Even if it is about his life?" what happened to him she asked herself
She finished eating when her mum called at their home to inform them that they will not be able to go home soon and they have to stay at New York for longer time for at least three more months because Fleur, Bill's wife has just given birth to their daughter Louise, her mum explained that she have to help the two and their dad is working at the same company he's working at London, it's just another branch so money will not be a problem for her and Ron. It was 8:30 in the evening and she decided to spend more time at the living room to watch movies in HBO she watched a movie about a high school girl who sacrificed her love for the glory of the school that made her realize that the situation of the girl in the movie is somehow related to her life. The movie ended by 10:30 and she decided to watch another movie that ends around 12:30 a.m
It's getting late and she decided to go to her bedroom and check on her mobile phone
There are 20 voice messages and 35 text messages that came from Harry. At first she hesitated to open the messages but in the end she listen first to the voice messages
The first says "Gin please don't leave me I love you. You know that I couldn't live my life without you" this made her cry
"Gin, tell me what did I do to make you decide like that? Please come back to me I love you",
"Love why are not you answering my messages why are you mad, I'm getting insane",
"Gin please, please I love you I don't know what my life will be if you're not with me",
"Gin please call back when you hear my messages"
"Gin please tell me what happened, give me a reason"
"Ginny I love you that will never change remember that"...
She listened to all his voice messages she can hear the hurt in his voice and she can tell that he's crying when he sent the messages... The last voice message is the most terrible one that she almost wants to kill herself because of her decision
"Ginny, if you don't answer any of my messages before 12 am that means that we cannot be together anymore and I'll accept that, I hope that we could be friends but I cannot see you anymore, it will kill me to see you without me. I love you Gin". When she heard this message she checked on the time its already 12:45 am when she saw the time she almost want to kill herself because of her nobility and read the text messages that also came from him that tells how much he love her that made her situation worse, well good thing that they do not have a gun, a blade, a poison or any thing that she can use to have a suicide. She cried that whole night and then she fell asleep.
She woke up the next morning late it's around 11 am when Ron entered her room and brought some food to her, she couldn't open her eyes well because she cried the whole night.
"Eat you need energy I have to tell you something important" Ron stated as he placed the tray of food at the bedside table of Ginny and walked out.
She ate the food that Ron brought and fixed her when took a bath and change in more decent clothes and met Ron at the living room.
She headed down stairs and she found the volleyball team and the whole basketball team waiting for her at the living room
"Hey what are you guys doing here" she asked them cheerfully
"You still don't know what happened?" Emma asked
"Happened to what?" she replied
"To Harry of course" Emma replied
"I know that he's been taken to the hospital" she replied as she passed
"You don't know the reason?" Emma said who's slowly losing her temper
"I know. The ball landed on his head hard that made him dizzy that's why he fell" she stated
"No that's not all" Emma yelled "And you have to know the real reason!" she added as she slowly to lose her temper that she started to lift her hand ready to slap Ginny anytime but Rupert grabbed her hand before she can do that.
"No Emma and I don't want to know, do not yell at me" she answered back angrily.
"Hey stop" Ron commanded "I'm going to tell her guys don't worry" he added
"No Ron you don't need to, I don't care about him anymore" she said as she turned her back on them and started to stomp her feet and marched up stairs and headed to her bedroom.
"Ron he needs her" Hermione whispered
"Are you sure?" he asked
"Yes of course the doctor said that Harry need someone to talk to him to fight for his life and his parents tried to speak with him even us tried it but nothing happens, Harry's godfather who's living abroad had arrived here to talk to him but still nothing happen" Hermione explained
"So you're saying that I have to force Ginny to listen to my tale about Harry?" He asked
"Yes you have to do every thing I know that she still loves him" Hermione said then Ron started to walk up stairs and entered Ginny's room unfortunately he didn't find her on the bed or in the bathroom so he decided to get out of her room when he hear a voice crying. He followed the sound and find out that it's coming from the walk in closet of Ginny so he opened it. Ginny was there sitting on the floor with her knees on her chest and her head on her knees.
"Ginny" Ron whispered as he started to walk inside and gathered Ginny into his arms and made a soothing sound... "Ron please get out" she said
"I won't Ginny even you push me away like you did to him" he replied Ginny continued to cry
"Listen Ginny this is the whole truth about him" he whispered and paused "He's been taken to the hospital that day not because of the ball" he pause as he look on her sister who's still crying but he can be sure that she's also listening. "He had a heart attack Ginny that's why he fell that's not because of the ball, seconds before the ball touch him I saw him touch him clutch his chest with his right hand and it seems that he can't breathe then the ball came and landed to his head, he fell down and got unconscious" Ron said, Ginny's now listening to him attentively. "We took him to the clinic and Madam Pomfrey told us that it was not the ball that caused him to be unconscious it is because of his heart... He has a heart disease, plus he had a mild stroke that's why he was taken to the hospital to be confined, he's at comatose state sis, he might not be awake again" he said as he tried to fight back his tears
"You're liar Ron I don't believe you" she shouted as she ran from him and went down stairs to ask everyone, but everyone told her the same story as Ron.
"NO ALL OF YOU ARE LIARS" she yelled "ALL OF YOU GET OUT... OUT..." she added...
"Hey you don't need us to push away if you don't believe us then fine, but I want to tell you that whether you believe it or not you cannot change the truth" Katie Bell said the captain of the tennis club. Then all of her friends got out and it's only her and Ron who were left at home again. She stayed at the living room crying while Ron took a bath and change his clothes and sat beside her.
"Ginny you need to go to the hospital" he said
"No Ron I'll stay here" she insisted
"Ok stay here as long as you want I hope that your conscience will let you sleep I'm going back to the hospital"
"How long more will you be so stubborn Ginny? NUMB!" he said as he grabs the car key and headed to the door.
"Ginny put this is your mind, numbing the pain will only make it worse when you finally feel it, do not ignore your feelings you're just hurting yourself, do not hide your feelings you will just get worse, Gin I know that you are hurting, I can see that in your face despite your laughter I know that your heart is bleeding even if you do not admit it." Ron said before he starts the car.
Ginny stayed at their home trying to drown herself by surfing the net and chatting with her friends at her former school, trying to forget what Ron said to her.
"I'm not numb, if you will just know how hard it is to stay here with my bleeding hard. Pretending to be happy is easier than to show your true feelings especially when you are sad" she thought
~HpGw~ ~HpGw~ ~HpGw~
At the Hospital
Ron found his friends at the lobby with Lily Potter Harry's mum crying.
"Ron where's your sister?" Lily asked
"She's at home Mrs. Potter" he answered
"What time will she go here?"
"I don't think she will" he answered
"Why?"
"No one knows ma'am" he answered again
"Does she know what happened?" she asked as she cries
"Yes I told her Mrs. Potter but I think I there is something that stops her on going here" he said
"Harry! Where's Harry? My love what happened to him? I need to see him, he needs me" a familiar crying voice flooded the lobby that caught the attention of everyone.
"Ron, Hermione, where is he? I need to see him, please, show me his room" the crying girl pleaded.
"Please Mrs. Potter I want to see Harry" the girl cried
The girl caught the attention of everyone in the lobby when she arrived Mrs. Potter froze when she saw the girl arrive because no one expected her to come but she did come at the hospital.
