Ron and Shanon: Story 4
Chapter 8
Ron sat crumpled on the couch, flipping through photo albums. They were pictures from his multiple dates with Shanon. He stopped at one page, where he was with her in London, strolling about. Harry and Hermione were there too. They all looked so happy together...the four of them...........
He pulled the picture closer to his face and looked at it. First there was him, with his arm around Shanon, kissing her cheek, then pulling away and smiling. Next was Shanon, who was laughing and hugging him. Then Hermione, smiling at Shanon, then turning to Harry and kissing him on the lips. Harry was smiling like good old Harry usually does. Ron skimmed the picture back and forth. She looked so happy, so innocent. And all this time..............
Ron roared and ripped the picture in half angrily. The faces in the picture dissolved away, and slipped out of the square, floating to the ground till they popped like a bubble. He watched his face go by, Shanon's, Harry's, and Hermione's, till they had all popped, and the background of the picture faded to white, leaving Ron with a ripped blank paper.
Ron slumped on the ground, tears coming to his eyes. But he held them back. He was done with her. Through. No more.............
"Your eyes are amazing......" David said quietly, smiling at Shanon. Shanon smiled back.
'Thank you......" she breathed. He put his hand out and took hers.
'This is our fourth date." He said quietly. She could tell it was hard for him to speak. He swallowed and looked at her.
"I want you to be my steady girlfriend."
Shanon gasped quietly and looked a bit taken aback.
"Me?" she said.
"Yes!" David was grinning. "Please. I really love you. You're so nice and interesting!"
Shanon looked at his eyes. She thought of how much pain she had gone through with Ron and why she had even bothered.........but she was over him now. And David was so nice. She really liked him.......even.....loved. She looked at him again and smiled.
"Yes." She said. His smile widened and he came around the table and hugged her.
"I love you." He whispered.
"I love you too." She whispered.
David pulled away, then leaned in and kissed her. Shanon smiled through the kiss, and kissed him back. Then she closed her eyes to feel him near her. But with her eyes closed, she saw Ron's face appear. She opened her eyes quickly, and saw David in front of her kissing her. She pulled away. David looked at her and frowned.
"Ok?" he whispered.
Shanon blinked, then leaned forward resting her head on his chest.
"I'm fine. I've just never felt this happy for a long time."
David smiled down at her and stroked her hair.
"I won't make you sad. I promise." He kissed her head softly.
Shanon grinned.
I don't need Ron. She thought. He hurt me so much. I don't think I can ever take him back.........
And she leaned up and kissed David again.
Author's Note: I always wondered what would happen if someone ripped a wizard picture. I don't think it would just stay the same ripped. I think the people would fall out.
