A/N: Hey! Sorry it took so long for me to get this chapter out I was pretty busy over the holidays…Well Happy New Year!!(And I have a quote/question for you all to think about. Created by Me!)
"How many times does a person have to say they love you before you realize that you love them too?" ~Ayaka620
Wood still gave me the silent treatment after we'd been at the club for a little bit over an hour. I sat next to next to Katie for the first half hour, but she soon left me alone with Wood to go dance with my ex. I watched as Katie and Harry danced to a fast song. That should be me out there dancing with Harry not Katie. I looked at Wood but he still ignored me so I got up and went to the bar. The bartender greeted me and asked what I wanted to drink.
"Pepsi is fine." I answered. I sat down on one of the stools and glanced at Wood again. He was doing nothing, he just watched all the people dance. I knew that he was lonesome, and this made feel even worse about what I did to him. I felt a cold rub against my hand.
"Here's your drink. Your total is $3.50."The bartender said. I reached for my wallet but heard an unfamiliar voice talking to me.
"Allow me to pay for your drink." A guy said. He paid for my drink and turned to me. I tried to avoid any kind of contact with him. "My name's Derek, and May I ask you what your name is?" I looked at Derek and faintly smiled at him. I felt Wood watching us and sort of felt guilty that Wood was watching this guy flirt with me. I didn't want to pursue this conversation with Derek so I set him straight.
"Hey, Umm… Look I'm flattered that you like me but I'm not interested. I'm already in a relationship with someone, sorry." I said. I knew I was lying and it was a bit cold but this was the only way I could think of to turn him down. I noticed that Wood straightened up in his seat when I said I was already in a relationship with someone. He might had been eavesdropping but on the bright side at least he was listening.
"I understand." Derek said. He got up nodded his head and walked away. After about ten minutes I decided to try to talk to Wood again and went over to him and took a seat next to him.
"Hi." I said uncomfortably . Wood glimpsed at me and turned his head the other way. "Please stop with the silent treatment Wood, you're more mature than that. We both are." He focused on me again and sighed. "I'm sorry about earlier Wood."
"Its okay. I understand you don't like me."
"No it's not that. I'm just not ready for another relationship."
"Or maybe its just you don't want to give me a chance or if it's not that it's the fact that you're not over Harry."
I'm shocked at the way Wood spoke to me. He's usually so nice and calm but he seemed so scary. I was left speechless at what Wood had said to me, but he was right I haven't gotten over Harry and maybe its time that I should.
"You're right I haven't gotten over Harry but I'm willing to give us a chance if you let me." Wood sat there unable to speak now he was the one who was speechless and I could tell he was trying to figure out if I was telling the truth or not. After a few moments Wood finally spoke.
"Please don't toy with my feelings Hermione, I know what you just said was all a lie a cover up for that matter."
"I'm serious Wood!"
"So am I… You see I've loved you since God knows when. All I've wanted for the longest time was you, Hermione!"
I dropped my head in sadness and tears began to fall down my face. How could I not have known I've been blind all this time. When I broke up with Harry, Wood was there for me. He helped me through it all, without him I don't think I could of survived. We grew a strong bond and spent so much time together. All this time I thought we were just friends but I didn't know Wood wanted more to our relationship. He wanted to be mine…Wood lifted my chin up and stared into my eyes.
" All I've wanted was you Hermione." He leaned into me and kissed my lips ever so gently. I returned his kiss with another of my own. A sudden flash appeared out of nowhere. Both Wood and I looked in the direction of the flash. A Daily Prophet reporter had a camera in his hand and began shooting away at us.
"Over here!" The reporter said. He began shooting even more photos. Wood got up and started cursing at the man.
"Get away! Don't you have any respect for other people's business?" Wood said angrily. He called for security to escort this reporter out and the security personnel did as they were told. But the reporter vanished right before their eyes before security got to him. "Damn! That's going to be on the front page of the Daily Prophet tomorrow." I tugged on Wood's shirt and told him to sit down.
"It's okay Wood." I said coolly.
"How could you be so calm Hermione? That story is going to go around and rumors are going to start about us."
"I'm not worried and you shouldn't be either." Wood gazed into my eyes for answers. "Look it's not like we were having an affair or something and I thought you wanted us to be together?"
"I do, but I didn't want the whole universe to find out like this." I placed my hand over Wood's to comfort him.
" We could make it through this as long as we have each other, right?" I asked. He grasped my hand and kissed me on the lips again.
"Of course… So are we for real Hermione?'
"I'm willing to give us chance if you are but it'll take me some time to get used to us… together."
Wood nodded his head and hugged me. "I'll wait for you but if you don't feel the same way I do at the end I'll understand. I'll still be there for you with open arms as a friend, who'll always be here to support you." I smiled at him with tears running down my cheeks.
"Thank you Wood."
"Call me Oliver." I grinned at him happily and wiped my tears away. "Let's dance Hermione." He pulled me up from my chair and brought me to the dance floor. When we got on the dance floor the first song we heard was a slow song by Monica called; "Breaks my Heart." Oliver took both of my hands and put it around his neck. He embraced me while we slow danced to this song. I let Oliver lead the way and just listened to the lyrics.
When I think of what I've done all the pain that I brung. Baby you should of walked out on me and when I turned away from you whenever there were hard times how could you still be with me and it was no mistake when I hurt you that day and when I was somebody new but still you forgave me like it was so easy I should have been mad at you.
Baby it breaks my heart to think that loving me is not easy to do. Ever don't mean to make it hard, sorry for all the changes I put you through and it's hard to believe after everything that you're still right here beside me wouldn't change you for this whole world thankful for just being your girl.
Never gave you my heart cause I never thought you deserved any of me and never told you how I felt when even inside I knew that you're really what I need and I almost gave you up when ever I thought something better come on home and right when I come back you waited for me and you welcomed me home.
Baby it breaks my heart to think that loving me is not easy to do. Ever don't mean to make it hard, sorry for all the changes I put you through and it's hard to believe after everything you're still right here beside me wouldn't change you for this whole world thankful for just being your girl.
And if takes my whole life I'll make it up to you cause I've been so cruel and you've given your love to me in spite of everything I… I don't deserve you from this day forwards I'm truly yours it took me a while to see that we were meant for one another. Thank you for loving me…
Baby it breaks my heart to think that loving me is not easy to do. Ever don't mean to make it hard, sorry for all the changes I put you through and it's hard to believe after everything you're still right here beside me wouldn't change you for this whole world thankful for just being your girl.

Oliver spun me around after the song ended and kindly kissed me on the lips. He deeply gazed into my eyes and spoke.
"I've wanted you for…forever Hermione… Thank you for giving me a chance." I nodded my head and blushed. It seemed so awkward standing there with him. I honestly rather be standing there with Harry… not Oliver. But I said yes to Oliver to give him a chance and let me be with him. I want Harry so badly it hurts. I already regret being with Oliver…Tears flow through my eyes and down my cheeks. I'm so sorry Harry I've betrayed you. Oliver looked into my eyes again and kissed my forehead then my cheeks. He slowly made his way down to neck. I felt his lips on my neck they were soft and tender.
Oliver led me back to a couch in the far corner where no one could see us. He was still kissing my neck when he sat down and I sat on top of his knee. I felt his tongue on my neck and he sucked on my neck so delicately. Oh God did it feel good! I breathed in quietly and moaned. Oliver grabbed my leg and brought me up higher. He moved his lips towards my chest and started licking me. I have to stop him but I don't want him to! I placed my arms around his neck and held onto him for dear life. I kissed him wherever I could and moaned out even louder. I heard a cough from behind me and turned around. Harry stared down at me in disbelief. Katie was also there with him unable to take her eyes off Oliver and me.
"Hermione… what are you doing?" Harry said in an angry tone. I got up off Oliver and looked into Harry's green eyes. These same eyes used to look at me with love and care but now glared at me in disgust. What is Harry mad about? I didn't do anything wrong, well maybe except have a make out session right before his eyes. But I'm not his girlfriend anymore, but God I wish I were…
"Harry… I could explain." I said desperately. I went towards Harry and placed my hand onto his shoulder. "Please let me explain." Harry shrugged me off.
"Forget it." Harry said coldly. "Katie lets go." He started to walk but stopped. "You're not the person I had come to know Hermione…you're no good and nothing but a slut. Tears filled my eyes and dropped to the ground one by one.
"Harry!" Katie said.
"But she is." Harry replied. "She's nothing to me…" I felt my heart being torn into a thousand pieces. This isn't how it's supposed to be. Before I could stop Oliver or even before I knew, he was charging towards Harry. He tackled him from behind and he laid on top of him and threw punches to Harry's face. Crowds of people were watching this fight go on.
"You mother fucker don't you ever call Hermione a slut she doesn't deserve that kind of shit! She's the kindest and most honest person I know!" Oliver said forcefully. Oliver got up and began to kick Harry. Harry just laid there doing nothing not even fighting back. Why is Harry just lying there and taking this beating from Oliver? I pulled on Oliver's arm to try and stop him.
"Oliver please stop! Don't hurt Harry anymore." I demanded. Oliver obeyed me and stopped in his tracks. I ran to Harry and kneeled beside him. "Harry are you okay?" He turned around and onto his back. His nose overflowed of blood and dripped onto his shirt. Harry got up and stood tall. He looked directly into my eyes then to Oliver's.
"I know she doesn't deserve to be called a slut I apologize for that, it's you I don't like…" Harry said. He turned his back on Oliver and me and walked away. Katie frowned at me and followed Harry out of the club doors. I've made Harry and Oliver enemies. What's happening to me…to us? Fresh new tears came to the surface and trickled down my face. Oliver kneeled down next to me and hugged me.
"Let's go Hermione." Oliver said. I didn't listen to him and just stayed on the ground and sobbed. "Don't cry Hermione I can't bear to see you like this." He placed his hand on my face and rubbed my cheek… then he kissed me lightly on the lips. I sniffed my nose and gave a little laugh. "Are you ready now?" I half-heartedly smiled at him and got up. The crowds of people were already gone when Harry left the building.
"I'm ready." I answered. I felt faint and weak and almost fell over but Oliver caught me in the knick of time. He grabbed me and lifted me off my feet. "You don't need to carry me I could walk by myself."
"I want to." Oliver carried me all the way to the car and laid me inside the passenger seat. He strapped me in and went to his side of the car and got in. He turned on his engine and drove past the very familiar city buildings and highlights. Oliver held my hand while we drove but I soon fell asleep. Little did I know when I woke up I was lying in a bed. He must of carried me all the way to my hotel room. He's so sweet for doing that for me. I got up and out of bed and walked over to the window that was covered by heavy curtains. I slid the curtains open and started out at the scenery. It's so beautiful…and it's still dark out. Now the scenery looked even more incredible. I sighed and sat back down on my bed.
"I still love Harry so much but I care for Oliver too." I whispered to myself. I felt tears forming in my eyes but I held them in. I laid back down in my bed and covered myself with some blankets and just stared up at the ceiling. Why was Harry so mad about Oliver and me getting together? I wonder if he still feelings for me? And I wish he did… I said Harry's name silently and I let my tears flow. My last thoughts before I fell asleep were of him… and I wish he were still mine…
