Hi everyone! I just want to put some song lyrics, to put you in the right mood before I start the story...Enjoy!
For those who have watched the film 'Closer' this was the opening song...
Damien Rice - the blower's daughter...
And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...
And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...
Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new
Hermione stared out of the window.
It was raining outside.
She placed her pale hand on the window and sobbed silently.
She saw her reflection in the mirror and a teardrop fell from her face with a splat on the windowsill.
"Why hasn't he come back?" she thought silently.
For all these past 10 years, she waited and waited for him to return...so they could be together, just like he promised before leaving her.
She kept staring outside, expecting a man in a dark suit to materialize.
An hour passed.
No one came.
She turned away from the window and slumped into the leather recliner, her face buried in her hands.
"WHYhasn't he returned to me?" she sobbed, soaking her navy sweater with tears.
He had promised her...that he would return...
It was the first time she had fallen in love, the first time that she kissed...the first time for everything...
She was determined not to throw any of that away. She would just keep waiting patiently...until she would go insane.
The rain pitter-pattered on the rook of her bungalow.
The hands on the clock moved slowly.
"Tick-tock...tick-tock..."
Every minute was killing her.
Her cold fingers reached for a glass of water. It clumsily loosened from her grasp and fell to the floor, decorating the floor with shards of glass...
"No..."
Recalling all those memories...was like a sharp pin...plunging into her mind...it was so hard to erase, even though it was so long ago...
"I can't forget him...I just can't..." she mumbled into her sweater, not bothering to wipe the tears from her face. She wasn't bothered about anything anymore really...just bothered that he wouldn't come home to her...
I know. My chapters are all pretty short. But I just want to keep it short and snappy.
