Chapter 6: Goodbye
* Of all the things I've believed in
I just wanna get it over with
Tears form behind my eyes but I do not cry
Counting the days that pass me by
I've been searching deep down in my soul
Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old
Feels like I'm starting all over again
And I said
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything that I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold onto
I can still get lost in your eyes
And it seems that I can't live a day without you
Closing my eyes and you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light
But it's not right
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything that I knew
You were the one that I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold onto
And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time
I want what yours and what's mine
I want you but I'm not giving in this time
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything that I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold onto
The one thing that I tried to hold onto
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything that I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold onto
The one thing that I tried to hold onto
And when the stars fall
I will lie awake
You're my shooting star *

Draco woke with Hermione wrapped around him. He looked down at her.
'She's so beautiful. When she's around I can forget all my troubles.
She makes everything alright. She makes me ok. She makes me alive.
Damn, without her I'd be lost.' Hermione stirred. Draco wrapped an arm
around her after grabbing a blanket that was draped across the back of
the couch. He pulled it around the both of them. He just kept staring
at her. He could never get enough of her. After several minutes, she
woke up and looked into eyes.
"Hi." She said smiling.
"Hey you." He said as a small smile crept onto his face.
"What have you been doing today?" Hermione said trying to make chit
chat.
"Nothing, I missed lunch. Did you eat?"
"No."
"Oh? Why not?"
"I wasn't hungry."
"Okay."
Moments of silence.
"Draco?"
"Yes?"
"We can't keep playing this game."
"What game?"
"This game, with our feelings. With you and me, I mean it has to
stop."
"Oh, that game."
"Yeah."
"Why?"
"It just has to. I can't stand to get hurt, and I can't let you get
hurt either."
"Hermione, I would never hurt you. I'd never let anyone hurt you."
"Draco, please. Can we just end it, before we get in over our heads
and we end up hurt?"
"If that's what you really want."
"It's not." She said slowly and solemnly. "But it's the only way."
"Is it?"
"As far as I can see it is."
"I don't want to lose you."
"Neither do I. But I have to let you go. Please, just forget about
me?" And she got up and walked to her room, tears streaming down her
face. Draco remained on the couch. He wasn't ready for that.
Everything he held onto was just taken from him in one blow. He had
nothing left. He had nothing left to live for. She was gone. But he
wouldn't let her leave.
'Forget about her?! How the hell am I supposed to do that when I've
fallen in love with her? How the hell did I fall in love with her after
two fucking days?' he thought to himself.
Hermione lay on her bed silently crying, trying to restrain her tears.
Trying to figure out why all this was happening. When she couldn't cry
anymore tears, she said out loud to herself, "Well this year has started
out well." And she threw her pillow at the door and fell into a very
uneasy sleep.
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Hey! Sorry this one's so short. But it deserved a place of it's own. I
couldn't put it with the next chapter because well, it just wouldn't
work. So review. Let me know what you're thinking. The next chapter
will be longer I promise. Oh, song was Goodbye to You by Michelle
Branch.
