Chapter 3
BreakDown
Hermione's POV: 4 Months Later
I never thought I would love again. Feel the electricity flow through my veins. The feeling of being weightless, flying through the sky. This is the way Darren made me feel. This is the way Draco makes me feel now. The brick wall, which I built carefully around my heart, started to fall down. Brick by brick, date by date, until I was free to love again.
Draco was taking me out to dinner, to celebrate our 4 month anniversary, of when we started dating.
"Hermione, I love you." Draco said, as we were eating. The words hit the last few bricks standing, shattered them, and I started to cry. No because I was sad, but because I was happy, they were tears of joy. The last person to tell me they loved me was Darren. Now, cried because I knew I was finally over him. Draco looked worried, so I decided I was now able to tell him about Darren.
"I'm ready to tell you about Darren." I started.
"Only if you're ready." He said, reaching across the table to hold my hand.
"I am. When I was at the University, I met this man from a class we had together, named Darren. We immediately hit it off. At first we were just friends, but in our third year, we started casually dating. After graduation the next year, we kept dating, and eventually it got very serious between us. We made love for the first time with each other, and he told me he loved me. That next morning, he found my wand, which had fallen out of my bag. He confronted me about it, and was disgusted with me being a witch. He told me he never wanted to see me again. And I thought he loved me! He was the only other person to every tell me he loved me." I told him
"Well, I'm not disgusted that you are a witch!" Draco said, making me laugh.
"I love you to Draco." I said, leaning across the table to kiss him.
Draco's POV:
I think back to that night, about four months ago, entering that pub, alone. I had sworn off woman, sleeping around. Sleeping with woman in general. I swore off love, promising myself I would never fall in love again. I knew it would only lead to heartbreak.
Somehow, I broke my promise. I fell in love, and I fell hard. I remember seeing her again, for the first time in six long, and empty years.
These last four months with Hermione have been incredible. I never thought I could care for someone so much. Love everything about them with such a passion. I didn't even feel like this while engaged to Kelley. I guess it's a good thing she left me. Now my whole heart is dedicated to the wonderful woman sitting across the table from me.
'How could someone hurt and angel like you?" I asked her, after she told me about Darren, and how he broke her heart. She laughed modestly, but I couldn't. She was so perfect. So absolutely amazing.
Through my time with her, she took away all my emotional pain, but not even she could take away the physical pain. I could feel my burden taking its tool on my body, and I was afraid. So afraid that I would loose everything. I didn't want to hurt my Hermione any more.
A/N: Really sorry this is really short. I'll be back soon, never fear! With chapter four. I'm outtie, got get ready for sch00l. =(
