Anya- Thanks for the suggestion. It's better than the idea I had before, and helped me get rid of some of the writer's block I had. It won't haven for a few more chapters though…
Kaley(and her friends)- I am really glad you are enjoying this! Here is some more!
The next morning…
The sun shone through the open window, shining down onto Ginny's face. She opened her eyes, and sighed. 'Why am I still here?' She wondered. She sat up and got out of bed, thankful it was Saturday, and that she did not have to go to classes and worry about the upcoming exams. She could just me alone, and cry as much as she wanted. No one would comfort her, she had cried in the idle of the common room once for no apparent reason, and no one had come to comfort her.
She had never felt so alone. Her friends Amanda, Lisa, Alexandra, and Katherine did not seem to care at all. When Lisa was feeling depressed, everyone came to comfort her, and Lisa was better now.
'At least they could do the same curdosy for me,' Ginny thought as she went down into the common room.
Ginny say her friends sitting on a couch together. She sat quietly next to them, not saying a word. She did not know why she just did not try to find someone who cares, she just let people walk over her like that. She hated herself for it.
"Oh, how long have you been sitting there?" Lisa asked, after an hour.
"Umm…a whole hour." Ginny responded angrily.
"No need to get mad…gosh, just because she thinks she is depressed she thinks she is all that…"
Ginny stood up. "WHAT?! YOU B*****!"
Everyone looked taken aback. "Calm down and sit down! And you better take that back."
"WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO MAKE YOU CARE?!"
"We do care." Said Ali.
"NO YOU DON'T! YOU SAY YOU DO, BUT YOU DON'T!"
"We just don't know how to help-" Katehrine started.
"YOU KNEW HOW TO HELP AMANDA!" Ginny ran off crying to her dorm.
"Gosh! Stop whining!" Katherine called up after her.
Ginny threw herself on her bed and cried. She had always been there for her friends, and especially for Lisa when things got rough for her. How was there when Lisa needed someone? Who was there when Lisa needed someone to talk to? Ginny. Who was there when Ginny needed someone? Who was there when Ginny needed someone to talk to? No one.
Ginny knew Harry would be there for her if he knew she was suffering. She wanted him to be the one that was there. But she couldn't go up to him and say 'I'm depressed,' could she?
Ginny finally stopped crying long enough to go back to the common room. The soon as she did, Hermione jumped out at her, demanding Ginny to study. Ginny let Hermione drag her off to the library.
While in the library every minute Hermione had to lean over and make sure Ginny was studying. Ginny sighed. She wanted good grades, really, she did…but she found it impossible to concentrate.
"Ginny!" Hermione exclaimed for the millionth time. "Concentrate! It's April! Exams are soon!"
Ginny looked up at her. "What? Oh s---!"
"Ginny!"
"Sorry, Hermy…"
"Don't call me that."
"Ron does…" Ginny mumbled. Hermione whacked her with a book. "OW!"
"Study!" Hermione commanded.
They sat in silence for a few minutes. The only thing that could be heard was the sound of the page of a book being turned.
"Hey, Hermione?" Ginny looked up from her book.
"Yes?" Hermione sighed.
"Do you think Harry will ever like me?"
"Yes," Hermione said firmly.
"But Jadyn is so perfect."
"Don't loose hope, Ginny."
"It's so hard not to. You can tell he likes her more than he's liked anyone else before."
"Well, it can't be as strong as your feelings for him, can it?"
"I don't know. But…it's just…I'm loosing the only hope I have, the only thing that keeps me going and I-I…" Ginny falttered. Silent tears began to stream down her face.
"Oh, Ginny…" Hermione completely forgot about homework and studying. (Yes! It's amazing, isn't it?)
"It just hurts so much," she said through her tears. "He likes her so much, you've seen the way he looks at her…"
"Don't talk that way…"
"That's why I'm loosing hope, though. The only thing that motivates me to go on living is the thought that someday he will love me. But now I'm loosing that hope. It's slipping away through my fingers. And I'm scared…I'm scared of what will happen to me, what I may do to myself without that hope…."
"Oh, Ginny…" Hermione hugged her. "It's only been two months, give it time, just give it time…please…"
Ginny sniffled. "Maybe we should stop studying for tonight." Hermione said.
Ginny stared at her oddly. Hermione gave her a look that clearly red "Get-over-it-homework-isn't-the-only-thing-that-I-care-about."
The two of them gathered their things and headed back to the common room. They stood in front of the Fat Lady.
"Ready to go in?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah, as ready as I'll ever be…"
