She was half way through the old box of photos, when there was an owl
peeking the window.
She knew who it was from; she got five every year on this day; her anniversary.
She opened the letter and read it.
Dear Shorty, I'm sorry I hurt you and I swear I've changed. Please, give me another chance. I still love you. I want to be a part of our son's life. I need to be a part of yours too. Please, Shorty, please. I still love you.
Love You Forever, No Matter What,
Your Blondie
She picked up a quill and a piece of paper and wrote her response.
Dear Blondie,
I know your sorry and that you didn't mean to hurt me, but I also know that you can't change; you're Draco Malfoy, and Malfoy's don't change. I have given you many chances, but they always end out the same. I'm sorry, but you can't be a part of mine or Josh's life; we're better off without you.
Sorry,
Your Shorty
Sometimes, she thought she still loved him, and she probably did. But what he did to her, was unforgiving.
Flashback
"Mother's dead, Ginny." He whispered to her. "My mum's dead." She went to comfort him, but he turned away.
That was just the start of it. Draco would sit in front of the fire for hours at a time, not caring that his wife was sobbing in their bedroom. He never noticed his son at his feet, begging him to play with him. He shut everybody out, even Ginny. She tried so hard for him to break out of his shell, but to no avail. Soon, he didn't even go to his bedroom at night, just fall asleep by the fire, if he was lucky. Most of the time, he didn't even sleep.
"Please, honey, talk to me." Ginny would beg, night after night. "Please, Draco, I need you." she would colasp onto his knees and cry. The only thing he did was put his hand on her head, as if to sooth her.
He grew dark, like he had no soul.
It's gonna burn for me to say this,
But it's comin' from my heart,
Been a long time comin',
But we'd been fell apart,
Really want to work this out,
But I don't think you're gonna change,
I do but you don't,
Think it's best we go our separate ways,
Don't know why,
We should stay in this relationship,
When I'm hurtin baby,
I ain't happy, baby,
There are so many other things I gotta do,
And I think that you should,
Let it burn
End Of Flashback
Draco sat around his house in LA, feeling miserable, like always. This day was the hardest on him.
He had tried to move on, but he couldn't. He called all the other girls her name, and they left him too.
He missed his son, his Shorty, his old life; the happy one, where they would take Josh to the park and while he played on the playground, they would cuddle next to each other under a tree.
I made a mistake, No it's to late, Know she ain't comin back, What I got to do to get me Shorty back, Oooooh
Man, I don't what I'm gonna do with out my beau,
You've been gone for to long
She sent the owl on it's way and went down to the coffee shop across the street.
Josh and Ashley picked up the flowers he ordered the day before for his mom, and headed back for his car.
They found Ginny in the coffee shop across the street from the apartment building, and sat down next to her.
"Happy anniversary, mum" he said, handing her the flowers.
"Oh! Thank you Josh!" she said, standing up and giving him a hug. "You know you didn't have to. I told you last year. And the year before." She smiled.
"I know, but you deserve something besides those pathetic sorry notes from Him." He never called "Him" dad; it hurt to much.
"Yeah, so Josh and I are taking you out tonight" Ashley told her.
"Ashley, you too?"
"Of course, Ginny. You're like my second mom, and I couldn't let Josh mess this up for you." she laughed.
Draco figured out what he was going to do; he was going to find his Shorty.
"Well, we should get back and get ready, the movie is at four." Josh said, taking his mother's hand. They went over to his car, when Ginny said she was going to walk, since it's just across the street. "Okay, I have to take it to the garage, so I'll meet you there."
"I'll come with you, Ginny. It makes no sense driving."
"Ginny!" Draco called when he saw her in the hallway of her apartment building. She froze in her place. He ran up to her.
"Dr-Draco, what are you doing here?" she asked. Ashley just looked between the two of them, confused.
"I needed to see you." He grabbed her arm so she couldn't run away.
"Ashley, go get Josh. Or your mum, or anybody, just get some one." She nodded and ran off to find Josh.
"Josh! Hurry up! Your mom's in trouble!" she yelled when she found him in the garage. They ran back up stairs.
"Oi! Get off my mum!" he yelled and tackled Draco to the ground. He knew who it was, for they looked exactly alike. He picked him up and slammed him up against the wall. "If you lay another finger on my mum, I swear to God that I will kill you with my bare hands." He took his shivering mother in his arms and walked her inside. He walked her into her room and put her in her bed and went into the living room.
He sighed and fell onto the couch. Ashley sat down next to him and wrapped her arm around him.
"Who was that?"
"My dad" he said, putting his head in his hands.
"You wanna talk about it?"
"We left him when I was little, and after that, I would wake up in the middle of the night to my mum crying because of him. I want to strangle him for all the pain he's put her through." He said through clenched teeth.
""She's lucky to have you, you know that, right?" he looked into her eyes as she said this.
"How do you know I'm not a burden? I feel like I'm just a walking memory of him, I look just like him, I feel like I just hurt her even more."
"You're not a burden" she told him.
"How do you know?" She leaned forward and kissed him.
"That's how."
A/N: thanks for being so patient! That's why this one is a long one! Lol, I'll update soon!
