Chapter 20:A voice out side the door
Face your fears head on."-Anonymous
Ron looked down at his watch. It had been an hour since he had left the roses. He was getting anxious.
Has she figured it out yet? Maybe she was sitting back in the common room still unsure. Or maybe she didn't want to know and had tossed it aside. Maybe she didn't care and had gone to bed. Or worse, had started on her weekend homework. Questions of all sorts ran through his head as he paced the room. He was getting really bad. He hoped she would come soon or he might chicken out and leave.
"No!" He scolded himself. "You can't leave. You have to tell her. You want her to know and she has every right to know now that you've practically announced it to the world. If you don't tell her, Harry might for you. And you want to be the one to tell her." He realized he was talking out loud to himself. He was going insane. All this waiting was driving him insane.
Ron push up the sleeve of his sweater and looked at his watch. It read 9:20pm. He sighed.
"Come on Hermione. I know you can do it." He mumbled out loud hoping he wouldn't have to wait much longer. The waiting was killing him. If this went on much longer, he would be dead. Or worse then dead. Broken.
Suddenly he thought he heard a voice outside the door. Instead of turning to face the door and who would enter, Ron immediately turned to face the opposite wall putting his back to the door.
"This is it." He whispered to himself. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "You can do it." He thought and opened his eyes as he heard the door handle turn.
