She was running, faster than Ron had ever seen her run. "MANDY!" He yelled, as he chased after her. He finally managed to catch up to her. She ignored him, the only thing she did was try to run faster. "Mand.. Mandy," Ron panted, "What happened?"
She stopped so unexpectedly that it took Ron a second to realize it.
"Mandy." He rubbed her arm.
"Don't touch me!" She snarled through gritted teeth.
"What happened? I thought you wanted to help my mum out but, she came up and said she hadn't seen you-"
"You're despicable."
"MANDY! ENOUGH OF THIS!"
"I never want to see you again. I hate you." Her face was raging with fury.
"Mandy, what are you saying?"
"You liked me because my nose is dead center?"
"Oh, no."
"You used me to make Hermione jealous. All you really wanted was her. That's why you beat up Harry- this all make sense! That's why you got angry when I mentioned about talking to him! He took Hermione from you! I was pretty and I was there so you 'picked me up'. I can't believe I let you play me for this long! I can't believe I've been so blind!"
"No, Mandy, you don't understand, I love you!"
"Oh, so you didn't use me?"
"It started out like that- but, baby, along the way, I fell for you. I completely fell for you. I've meant everything I've ever told you. Every time I've ever told you I loved you; each time I kissed you; each time I told you that you were the best, that you were beautiful- Each time I told you how much you meant to me- that was all true and I still hold to it."
Mandy shook her head in disbelief. "And you weren't even going to tell me! The day you met me was terrible was it? Did I destroy you that much?!" She screamed, tears falling down her face.
"No, Mandy, you don't understand, You made everything better! You saved me!"
"I don't believe you. Your words are complete poison."
"I love you."
"If that's true, then the day you met me, will be as terrible as today."
"Why?"
"Today is the day I break any connection I've ever had with you. I never want to see you again. Just- just stay away from me!"
"Sweetheart, stop this! Let's go inside, have a cup of tea- Let's talk about this."
"Don't you sweetheart me!"
"Love, please, you can't walk home at least use the floo network."
"No."
"Mand-"
"Don't speak to me. Nothing you can say will mean anything! All you've ever told me was lies! You, Bastard!"
"MANDY, PLEASE!" Ron fell to his knees, grabbing her soft hand in his, "PLEASE, LISTEN TO ME!"
Ron's hot tears fell to her hand.
"Get up," she mumbled, "just, get up."
"Not until I can make you understand." Ron said, sitting down. He pulled Mandy down next to him, he dug his head in her shoulder, crying, "Please, don't leave me, please, Mandy. I love you, don't leave me."
Mandy couldn't find words to speak. All she wanted to say, died in her every time she opened her mouth.
Ron pulled away, his ears pink, and his eyes were puffy, "I'm nothing without you." He managed to say.
"That's not true."
"Yes, it is, you complete me."
"Ron, you're being silly, you were fine before I came along."
"That's not really how it was. I was miserable before I met you. Even before I realized I loved you, everything was better. You being a part of my life made things better and if you leave me, I don't know what I'll do."
"You're going to have to figure out what it is you'll do."
"Whatever it is, I'll fight it. Nothing can take you away from me." Hot tears stung his eyes once more.
"Can you fight yourself? Can you fight me?"
"I'll fight myself. I'll look like a complete nutter, but I'll do it. As for fighting you- you don't really want to leave. You're just angry with me. You feel for me exactly what I feel for you and don't you try denying it."
"Ron-"
"You told me that I was worth more than a fight. So're you. I'd give anything for you."
"Ron-"
"I can't lose you."
"If you don't let me get a word in I'll actually leave-"
"You mean, you're staying?"
"You hurt me."
"Yes."
"Don't do it again."
She didn't smile. She didn't show any signs of any emotion. She stood up, without saying a word. She looked into Ron's eyes as tears swelled up in hers. Mandy turned, she took a deep breath and began to walk up to Ron's house. After she took a few steps, Ron decided to follow. He hurried to get to her. Ron wrapped his arm around her, rubbing his cheek against her shoulder in forgiveness. Nothing. A pearl like tear rolled down from her eye.
"I'm going to go home." She announced to Harry who was in the kitchen when she and Ron had come in, "I need to leave."
"You don't need to do anything-" Ron had begun.
"Bye, swee- er, Ron."
She didn't kiss his cheek. She didn't wave goodbye. She just picked up her Nimbus 2001, and left out of the front door.
"Ron, what happened?" Harry asked, stunned.
"She heard us talking. She heard everything."
"Bloody hell." Harry murmured.
She stopped so unexpectedly that it took Ron a second to realize it.
"Mandy." He rubbed her arm.
"Don't touch me!" She snarled through gritted teeth.
"What happened? I thought you wanted to help my mum out but, she came up and said she hadn't seen you-"
