A/N: I'm back! Finally after like 3-4 months. I'm supa sorry for the long wait. I didn't know junior year was going to be such a busy one. So I told myself as soon as I got a break, I would write the next chapter. And I did! Thanksgiving break is always boring for me since I don't really celebrate turkey-day. Lol. So I want to thank all you readers for waiting and not giving up in me and Sinsly. And I want to thank Sinsly too! Because I lurve her and her liver (inside joke)! I'm sorry how the spacing is all ferked up. So I'll shut up and let yaw read the chapter. Enjoy!

Chappie 13 – With You

Hermione had apparated herself outside of her house. She stood there, before her bedroom window, her lip shivering. She stared at her window and memories of her and Draco passed before her eyes. She clenched her fists telling herself to be strong and mature about it.

HERMIONE! He had called her, not wanting her to leave. Hermione climbed through her bedroom window, not wanting her parents to know she was home. HERMIONE!  She stood next to the wall, her arms shaking, and her knees weak. HERMIONE! His voice had been glued into her mind. The last words she would probably hear from him. Had she done the right thing?

Even the smartest girl questions her actions. She slid down the wall, brought her knees to her chest, and broke down into tears. How was she ever going to heal? She placed a hand on her stomach. What will she do with the child? Hermione cried and cried. Not knowing if the tears will ever end. She heard movement coming from her parent's room.

Hermione wanted to avoid being questioned by her mom right now. She just wanted time to herself. She grabbed a sweatshirt and climbed back through her window. Her moist eyes roamed the dimly lit streets. She closed her eyes, breathing slowly, and began walking without a destination.

Draco's eyes remained on the spot where Hermione apparated. She was gone. She didn't even look back. What was he going to do now? He stood frozen. He refused to accept the facts. Hermione had left him.

Narcissa's voice filled the room. "Draco. Oh good, that sick little girl left. We did the right thing Draco."

Draco turned and viewed his mother with hatred. "We? When did YOU start dating Hermione? Huh?! This had nothing to do with you! So stay out of it!"

Narcissa smiled. "Oh what are you talking about Draco? You're the one who brought her over to hear my opinion."

Draco walked up to his mother, towering over her short height. "Well I did wrong."

"Draco, I---"

"No mother! You've said enough! I thought better of you." He looked her in the eyes. "But I'll never make that mistake again." He sprinted up the spiral stairs and began throwing his belongings into his trunk. His mother followed him and watched him from the doorway.

Her voice was stern. "What do you think you're doing?" Draco didn't answer and continued packing. "You think you can just walk out of here? Your father would never allow that."

Draco turned sharply. "I don't give a damn! Father isn't here anymore! Don't you get that?! He's gone! And you can't keep me here!"

His mother let out a small gasp. Her small eyes darted around the room. Draco swiftly walked up to her, waiting for her to move from the doorway. She looked at him, his trunk in his hand, anger in his eyes.

"I'm sorry Draco; I can't let you leave." She reached into her robes for her wand. But Draco's hand was quicker.

"No. I'm sorry mother. You just did". He pointed his wand at his own mother and her eyes widen. "STUPEFY!"

Narcissa fell to the floor. Draco took a deep breath, stepped over his mother, and walked out the Malfoy Manor into the dark night. He needed to find Hermione. But where?

I woke up in a dream today to the cold of the static, put my cold feet on the floor
forgot all about yesterday, remembering I'm pretending to be where I'm not anymore
a little taste of hypocrisy and I'm left in the wake of the mistake slow to react


even though you're so close to me, you're still so distant and I can't bring you back
It's true the way I feel was promised by your face
the sound of your voice, painted on my memories
even if you're not with me, I'm with you

Hermione sat on a bench at the local park. She and Draco came here often. Couples and families walked past her smiling and joyful. The park was lit up and a band was playing. She closed her eyes, letting the light breeze hit her face, making her hair fly up. She sat wondering what she was going to tell her parents. Her friends. Ron and Harry. If I'm doing the right thing, why does everything feel wrong?

You, now I see keeping everything inside

With you
You, now I see even when I close my eyes
With you


I hit you and you hit me back and we fall to the floor the rest of the day stands still
fine line between this and that but when things go wrong I pretend that the past isn't real
I'm trapped in this memory and I'm left in the wake of the mistake slow to react
even though you're close to me, you're still so distant and I can't bring you back

She smiled as she remembered telling them she was pregnant. Harry's mouth formed a big O and Ron turned red, neither of them not knowing what to say.  She had seen a hint of jealously in Ron's eyes. A hint of dislike and shame. How were Ron and Harry going to react now? Probably go strangle Draco. Surprisingly, she smiled at the thought.

It's true the way I feel was promised by your face
the sound of your voice painted on my memories
even if you're not with me I'm with you


You, now I see keeping everything inside

With you

You, now I see even when I close my eyes

With you

Maybe this won't be so hard. Maybe I should have done this a long time ago. She got up from the small bench, drew her hood over her head, and turned to come face to face with Draco. She gasped and took a step back. Draco watched her and did nothing. He studied her face. Her eyes were red from crying but he could still see a hint of emotion in them. Was that fear? Both stood there, staring at one another, waiting for someone to say something. Hermione felt the agony and pain building up inside of her.

I won't let you control my fate while I'm holding the weight of the world on my conscience
I won't just sit here and wait while you weighing your options you're making a fool of me
you didn't dare try to say that you don't care you solemnly swear not to follow me there


It ain't like me to beg on my knees

oh, please, oh baby, please that's not how I'm doing things
no I'm not upset, no I'm not angry; I know love is love, love sometimes it pains me

"Hermione…" Draco watched her, expecting her to shout at him, but she stood there, motionless, looking back at him. "What am I suppose to say Hermione? I didn't mean for this to happen. You know I didn't."

Hermione ignored the lump in her throat and replied. "Then why didn't you do anything when your mother said to get rid of me? Why didn't you stand up for me?! For us?!" She couldn't hold her tears back any longer. They streamed down her cheeks as Draco watched her, his eyes shrinking in anger and sadness. Was he angry at her or at himself?

He took a swift step towards her so that their bodies were slightly touching. Hermione shivered and knew Draco felt her movement. She knew what Draco was going to do next. What he always did to make her forget about all their worries. She stepped back away from him and he watched her, confusion playing in his eyes.

With or without you I'll always be with you; you'll never forget me, I'm keeping you with me
no I won't let you take me to the end of my rope while you burn and torture my soul
No I'm not your puppet and no, no, no I won't let you go

"You think a kiss is going to make it all better Draco? It's not!" Hermione wiped her tears away and walked past Draco. He grabbed her by the wrist, spinning her around.

"Hermione…don't do this…"

"No Draco, I'm undoing this!"

Hermione raised her free hand and slashed it across Draco's face. She snatched her wrist away from him her eyes flashing in anger. "Leave me alone, Malfoy."

No matter how far we've come I can't wait to see tomorrow

With you

No matter how far we've come I can't wait to see tomorrow

With you

Draco stood holding the side of his face; he watched Hermione walk away from him. She had called him Malfoy. He felt daggers of pain hitting him. Malfoy. She hadn't called him that since they got together in Hogwarts. He watched her figure grow smaller and more distant until she was finally gone. Gone forever.

You, now I see keeping everything inside

With you

You, now I see even when I close my eyes

With you

A/N: Well then, that was depressing. I lurve Linkin Park! And when I first came up with the idea for this story, I was listening to "With You", the REANIMATION version. And I realized how the song fit so perfectly with the plot, yaw should listen to it sometime. =) Oh yeah, you know the part where Draco "stupefies" his momma? Well Sinsly and me were wondering if someone falls down when their hit with it or do they get blasted across the room? Who knows! Whatever! Lol. Remember, Hermione still has the baby and she plans on keeping it. In the next chapter or two I'm going to like fast-forward. I don't want to bore everyone. So it's going to go fast-paced. Not sure when the next chapter will be up. I can't guarantee anything. Probably during Christmas break or sooner? I don't know yet. We'll see how it all works out. PLEASE REVIEW and if you want to receive a notice when the next chappie is poster, please put your email in the review somewhere. Thanks and until next time, peace.
