A/n: I AM SORRY AGAIN. I know this is late for a day. Please forgive me! Something came up with our electricity thing. Our whole electricity source blew up. And of course, we won't have any electricity then. We lived like the freaking old age when you use fire and everything for light and heat. (Though we don't really need heat anymore. It's really hot down here.) So, anyways, our electricity was fixed up last night. And I really thought we had classes today so I slept early. But, for fate's sake, there was NO classes. It is a holiday today. So, I am really sorry for getting this up late. I'll try to avoid being late next time.ü
And by the way, AnjaliMalfoy, we are thinking of the same thing.ü LOL!ü Love your predicting skills.ü

Dilemma
Chapter 39
Draco Malfoy stared at the road as he drove his black convertible to the hotel. He had just arrived a few moments ago, and before he knew it, it was already dark. The night air blew past his cheeks, his hair tousled into a messy crop. He could feel his stomach toss and turn, not knowing what to do if he would see her now, standing in front of him. It felt like a dejavu. He felt this when he had dreamed that she was in front of him in the airport. He felt such an implausible emotional rumble. And now, it is happening again.
Ignoring it, he brought himself into his memories of her. He had survived the past two years with them, remembering her sweet fragrance, her beautiful hair, her smile, her voice, the way she eats strawberry ice cream, the way she would punch him if he insulted her, the way her voice whispers if she called in the morning, the way her tears fall, the way her eyes looks at him when she cried… He sighed at that and suddenly felt the craving for her. It had been so long…
How the hell could I be so stupid? He cursed himself. Everything would have been alright if he didn't run away. Everything would be fine with them if he faced his fears.
He's hopeless. He's just full of regrets.
He swore to himself he won't let her go. He swore he will find her. And when he does, he'll push those fears away and tell her, tell her everything.
He had loved her for what seemed to be eternity.
Turning to the next street, he stared at the road absentmindedly with all of those things in his head. He didn't even see the woman sitting on the asphalt ground.
"Shit! It's a car!"
If he didn't hear the woman's shriek, he would have ran over her.
"Holy Hell!" Draco screamed, pushing the breaks. His heart leaped, thinking he ran over the woman. His body shook in shivers. He held on to the wheel, calming himself.
Abruptly getting off of his car, he went to the hood and saw the woman lying on the floor.
His blood drained off of his face.
Running to her, he lifted her shoulders and squinted at her face. His headlights were dead, the city lights were dim, and the shadows hid her face.
But as he slowly studied her features, his blood went cold.
Oh God... It's her… It is her…
"Shit… Holy hell…" He muttered, lifting her torso, letting it rest on his. "God… Hermione… Damn it…" Terror abruptly clutched him.
"Who the hell are you?" Hermione groaned, pushing him off. "Get off me…"
"Hermione…" Draco held on, relief suddenly clutching him as she spoke. "Hermione… It's me…"
But then, Hermione turned away, pushing him off violently. "Get off me." She said.
"Look at me, Hermione." He insisted, gripping on her arms tighter. "Look at me Hermione."
"Let me go! I don't know you!" She said, shoving him, and then punching his face, directly hitting his jaw.
Draco groaned at first, and then winced, feeling the pain. But then, he shrugged it off. He knew she was drunk.
"Look at me Hermione!" He still insisted, now grabbing her hands and pinning her to the ground.
She still struggled, but he could see that she was wearing off.
He lifted her hands above her head and leaned over her. There were tears in her eyes, slipping down her face.
"Let me go… I have to find him…"
He paused. His heart was suddenly torn into pieces.
"I have to find him… I know he's here…"
He could feel his tears stinging behind his eyes. "Hermione… Who are you looking for?"
She closed her eyes, her body starting to relax. "Him…" She muttered, her voice turning weak.
"Who?" He asked again.
She was quiet for a while, as if asleep. "I need to find him..." She started again, a tear finally slipping down her cheek."Find... him... Malfoy… Draco… Draco…"
He didn't know what to feel. He didn't know what to do. He just lay there, staring over her, her face streaked in tears, her breath hitching.
He didn't notice his own tears slipping down his cheeks. "Hermione… look at me…"
She didn't respond.
Draco leaned over and whispered to her ear. "Please... Hermione... look at me..."
She finallyopened her eyes and stared back at him.
He smiled at her, lifting his finger to her cheeks, wiping her tears. "I'm here. You found me…"
She just stared back at him. "I'm looking for Draco… Draco… Draco…"
He lifted her and wrapped his arms around her, his chest heaving with sobs. He finally found her. She finally found him…
"It's me… I'm here Hermione…" He chanted, rocking her in his arms.
"Draco… Draco… Why did you leave me?" She muttered, her face resting on his neck.
"I'm sorry… I'm sorry…" He said, whispering in her ear.
"I've waited for you… You didn't come back…"
"I did… God, I did…" He was weeping already. "I did… I was too late…"
"I don't care… about what you did in the past…" She started, her voice still slurred, hitching. "I don't care… If you are Draco Malfoy… I don't care anymore…"
Draco closed his eyes and listened.
"I don't care at all… All I know is that… is that…"
He just listened.
"I… I love you…" She sighed and closed her eyes, falling into a sleep. "I love you..."
Hearing her last words, Draco held her face and kissed her brows. His tears wouldn't stop.
"I love you too, Hermione… I love you…"
A/n: Shortest of all chapters. I know. But one of the most significant ones.ü lol.
So anyways... on with the messages.ü
Liz - I really hoped you could predict this one again. lol!ü It has been fun reading reviews with very much same ideas as mine.ü But, anyways, I am dead relieved that you are not angry anymore. Things like these could actually cause some readers to be pissed at the writers. lol! Well, that is life anyway.
Well, until next update again. And as I promised before, THIS IS NOT A DREAM ANYMORE. This is real. PROMISE.ü
MissDitzy - Wow. You are right. I love hitting people with cars. LOL!ü
Honestly I didn't realize it. I just happened to see myvery weirdnovel (which is not yet done until now.) about something and saw that car scene I made when I was still twelve. It is full of wrong grammars and spelling, I tell you, but I found that car scene really interesting. Perhaps I really DOlove hitting people with cars.
Anyhow, about the question. (OH QUESTION! How did Draco know that Hermione was going to Canada if he blacked out and Ginny couldn't tell him that?) Actually, if you remember that scene, Ginny told him everything before he ran to the airport. He was still conscious when Ginny was talking but when he ran into the cab and everything, that was the time he actually passed out. Lol. I pitty him. I love keeping him from Hermione. lol!ü Just kidding.ü People might kill me for what I said. Haha!ü
Why would I write this love story of theirs if I want them to be separated for the rest of their lives? That would be lame.
Oh, about the City of Canada thing, I honestly admit I made an error there. I was trying to look for a good city there and finally gave up to just end up to "City that could be found in Canada." And so I said, The city of Canada. But, yes, as you all saw it, it was kind of confusing. So I did another research and ended up with Ontario. It is the Capital of Canada, if I am right. And maybe it could be great there since it IS the Capital of Canada.
Anyways, forgive me about that.
Milk farm? Yogurt? Lol!ü That really is interesting!ü I would want to see how they make yogurts and milk cows!ü (David Milgates... HAHAHAHA!ü) That really sounded fun.ü I think you have a great family, if you think about that.ü It is rare for families to spend time in places and occasions like those, if you know what I mean.ü
Well, I understand about your point of view about Ronnekins.ü Lol. Well, in my opinion, he's just okay with me. Sometimes he may be annoying and funny, but that is part of his character. I just accepted him as he is. No strings attached.ü
Anyways, gotta go.ü I have to write more messages here.ü Until next update then.ü This weekend.ü And I hoped you liked this chapter.ü lol.ü TC!
SpiritWell- Aningme-chan.ü I liked the sound of that!ü Lol. Anyways, I will update soon enough. And I am sorry for this late chappie.ü Until next update!ü
Queen of Duct Tape - Well, writing a book wouldn't be bad too.ü If you made one, please let me know.ü It would be fun to read it, I am sure.ü
And if someone messes up with your biography, I would hunt them down and curse them. I hate lame biographies. But, honestly, as I read your stories about your life, it is really interesting.ü I really hope there would be a book about all of the craziness happening there.ü It would be famous, I promise.ü
Well, irony isreally a big concept. Sometimes it could be annoying and at times, just merely shocking. But life would be boring without irony. Talk about lame lives.
Anyhows, our cats are really bugging me right now, playing with the internet line and everything. They are really adorable, if you could see them. But sometimes I just want to throw them out the window when they start to get annoying.
Okay, where did that thought came from?
Sorry. My mind is drifting away from me. Today is just tiring, even if it's a holiday for us today. The sun is just WRONG, the heat is just wrong, and my head hurting like hell is wrong.
Everything justseems off today.
Anyhows, enough of my complaints.ü I should be happy that I got the chance to post this. Sometimes when you get to school, it feels like your life would never have any spare time to just sit back and relax. Very busy and everything.
Sigh, until next time then.ü Let's just hope I won't post any late chapters anymore.ü TC!
MysteryALASKA - Yes, the previous chapter was short.ü But I think this is shorter.ü But of course, this one is an essential part.ü And I couldn't make it any longer than this so, sorry.ü
Anyhows, will update soon!ü And I hope you would have a great week!ü TC!
Jade Blond - I know what you mean.ü Lol. City of Canada is a big error. I'll just copy paste my explanation about that to MissDitzy.ü It is kind of embarrassing to explain it all over again...ü Forgive me please...
"Oh, about the City of Canada thing, I honestly admit I made an error there. I was trying to look for a good city there and finally gave up to just end up to "City that could be found in Canada." And so I said, The city of Canada. (which should have been 'the cityIN Canada.')But, yes, as you all saw it, it was kind of confusing. So I did another research and ended up with Ontario.
