A/N: Hey guys! Thanks to the people who reviewed last chapter! You guys are awesome. But to the rest of you, I'm a little saddened. Where are all the people who were so faithful to me on I Saw Sparks? I was hoping you'd give me the same kind of support on my new story. Come on guys, help me out here! I know its a little slow right now, but don't worry, it will get better. The first few chapters will be a little slower paced, but after that it is going to be better! Or so I hope! Lol. Read and Review. Thanks.

Grangers Twin: Thank you so much! You were my first review for this story! I hope you enjoy the following chapters!

Miss Hogwarts: Thanks!

Darkflower2113: I will definitely try not to write huge long paragraphs. I will try to cut them down if they get too long. There's not going to be much conversation in the first few chapters, so it'll be lots of descriptive paragraphs. Yes! Lol. Good luck with the relatives! :)

Loves to Read: Thank you so much! And I'm glad you liked I Saw Sparks!

And thank you to: brokentoy19, and cherryblossom08! You guys are excellent! :)

So she walked back to her room, changed into her pajamas and fell onto her bed. She was exhausted from the grief and the rivers of tears that had fallen from her eyes. Ginny soon fell into a restless sleep, just wanting it all to be dream. But knowing that it was not.

Chapter Two: Nothing Feels Good

The next morning Ginny awoke to bright sunlight streaming in through her window. She grunted, and rolled over in her bed, trying to go back to sleep. She didn't ever want to be awake again. Her alarm started going off loudly, and Ginny climbed out of bed reluctantly. After two minutes of trying to figure out how to shut it off, she got frustrated. The next thing Ginny knew, she had thrown the alarm clock against the wall. It hit it with a loud bang, and broke into a million different pieces. Ginny stared at what she had just done, and burst into tears. She could feel herself starting to lose it.

Deciding that she needed a shower, Ginny walked into the bathroom, turned on the shower, and stepped into the steam and water. She made it as hot as it could go, and winced in pain as the first drops hit her body. But she wanted to feel it. Slowly she got used to the burning feeling of the scorching water beating down on her. After getting out of the shower with red, burnt skin, Ginny dressed and flopped down onto the couch. She didn't want to see anyone, but she knew that if she stayed alone doing nothing then she'd go crazy with grief. Ginny debated for a while, and then finally made the decision to go see Adam.

Ginny stepped up onto the patio, and approached the door. She moved slowly, not really too excited about the prospect about being around people, not even the man she loved. Ginny pressed her finger to the doorbell and waited. A few minutes later, she saw the form of her boyfriend appear in the hallway. He opened the door, and saw her standing there. Adam didn't say one word, but instead pulled her into a tight hug. He led her inside, and sat her down on the couch. Ginny looked at him and tried to smile, but it came out as more of a grimace. Adam stroked her face for a moment before disappearing from view. But a second later Ginny heard pots being shuffled around, and she knew that Adam was making her some tea.

She sat there numbly until he returned with two cups in hand. Ginny took it with a shaky hand, and tilted the cup to her lips. After taking a long sip, she looked at Adam. They hadn't said a word to each other since Ginny had walked through the door. But she didn't mind. She actually liked it better. It was comforting just to have Adam right there next to her. A while later, Ginny and Adam leaned against each other and lay back onto the couch. Adam was heartbroken. He had too been very close with Ashley. Soon enough both Ginny and Adam fell asleep. A few hours later Adam awoke, and the rain was pouring down outside the window. Adam gently lifted Ginny's sleeping body and carried her into his room. He laid her down on his bed, and tucked her in. Then he quietly shut the door, and left her to sleep.

Ginny opened her eyes reluctantly. She peered out from under her cocoon of covers, and realized that she was still at Adam's. But he was not lying next to her. Longing to be held by someone, Ginny padded out to the living room. Adam was sleeping on the couch, mouth open and snoring. Oh god. How am I ever going to put up with that when we get married? Ginny thought with a chuckle. She mentally slapped herself for laughing at a time like this. And Adam hadn't even mentioned getting married. Not even once. Ginny let out a long sigh and plopped down on the couch. Adam stirred and turned over, mumbling something in his sleep. Ginny rolled her eyes and lay down on the couch opposite him. After what seemed like hours, Ginny decided that she could not take sitting in silence anymore. She stood up quickly and gave Adam a peck on the cheek. Then she quietly slipped out the front door and disappeared.

Three days later the funeral was held. It was an amazing tribute to a truly special person. Ginny stepped into the church, dressed all in black. Tears were already streaming down her face as she talked to all her friends. Ashley's friends. The lump in Ginny's throat increased and she was suddenly finding it hard to breathe. The memorial was beautiful and Ginny cried more than she ever had in her life. Ashley had not been buried, but cremated. Her ashes sat in an ornate urn at the front of the church. Flowers were everywhere, filling up the entire room. Ginny spoke about the best friend she had ever known.

"Ashley was an amazing person. She loved life and everything about it. She embraced it. Even when times got rough, she always stood strong. I moved out here five years ago not expecting anything. I arrived fully prepared to be lonely and without friends. But the very next day I met Ash. She was sitting on the beach by herself making sandcastles. I asked her where I could find the nearest swim shop. She asked me my name. From then on, we were inseparable. I have never felt so loved by a friend. She was always listening to me go on about my problems, never interrupting to tell me I was shallow or stupid. Always reassuring me that everything would be all right. She was funny and made me laugh no matter the situation. She was caring and treated everyone exactly like they would want to be. No person I have ever known has ever even come close to the person she was. I will try to be more like Ashley. I don't know if I will ever be as incredible as she was. But I will carry her spirit with me wherever I go. Always."

Ginny stepped down from the podium with tears streaming down her face. She couldn't see a thing, but couldn't have cared less. She was thinking of Ashley and only her. The memorial continued and all of Ashley's closest friends spoke. After it was over, Ginny walked out of the church. Sunlight was shining brightly, but suddenly it began to rain. Ginny stood in it, letting it wash away everything. After a moment the rain stopped and in its place a beautiful rainbow appeared. Ginny had never seen a real one in all her life. Ashley used to rave about them and say how extraordinary they were. And she was finally seeing one. Ginny smiled slightly up at the sky. She knew Ashley would always be watching over her.

Ginny got into her car, and drove to the beach. The urn containing Ashley's ashes were in her lap, and Ginny was careful not to tip them over. She stopped at the only beach that she knew would be deserted. It was Ashley's favorite beach, hidden away from the public. Ginny stepped onto the sand and walked down to the waters edge. She ran her fingers through the water, and decided to wade out. When Ginny was knee deep in water, she stopped. Carefully she removed the lid of the urn. Tears began to fall again as she took a deep breath. This is what Ashley always wanted. She wanted her ashes spread in the ocean when she...died. Ginny took another deep breath and scattered the ashes into the ocean. The wind took some, while the water took the rest. This is how she always wanted it, she reminded herself again

Ginny trudged back up to the beach and set to burying the urn deep in the sand. It was small, and she knew that no one would ever find it. After she finished, Ginny stood up with red eyes and walked back into the ocean. She swam farther than she had ever been and when she finally stopped, she was exhausted. Ginny floated on her back for what seemed like hours. Tears continued to fall as she lay there. Nothing will ever feel good again. Nothing.
