A/N: (gasp) another already? Yup. There's a break in my finals and I'm taking advantage. So THANKS FOR ALL THE AWESOME REVIEWS! I hope you enjoy this chapter.

WARNING: This chapter contains sexual references…

I don't know. It depends on what you think but to me, it did. I guess, b/c I don't write stories with anything in it…ever. I dunno why I decided to that with this one. A new adventure I guess. Anyway….

Chapter 3

You most definitely can not go there Hermione Jane Granger Malfoy, you are not going to Apparate there. "I'm not. I can't go." I muttered to myself as I looked in the mirror and fixed a couple strands of my hair. I don't need to see him. But I do. I have so much to talk to him about. I don't understand how I can still love him after all that. How can I? Why can I? Why do I? He hurt me. He hurt me so badly. And now, I'm just going to let him come back into my life like that…that's not right. I can't do it. "I'll just go and tell him that. Then…then I'll leave," I told myself. "Who am I kidding?" I vented as I fell into the chair. "I won't leave. I know it. I shouldn't even go. No, I can do this. I can just go there and talk and yell or whatever, then I'll leave. Yeah…I can do that." I can.

"Hey Mione!" Ron exclaimed when I popped in. "It's not all ready yet. I'm almost done. You can make yourself comfortable in the living room. Then we can eat and talk." I smiled at him as I sat in the chair.

"Are you sure you don't need any help?"

"No, I've got it."

"I thought you didn't know how to cook."

"I've improved. I'm not mum but I know enough," he smiled at me. "Just yell if you need me. I'll be right back." He walked into the kitchen, leaving me alone in the living room.

"I'm glad your parents got to go on a vacation. They sure needed one," I said to him from the living room.

"Yeah, they did need to get away," he mumbled. I walked around the living room. There were so many memories here. So many things that I did that I'd never do again, but it always seemed right when I was here. All these memories flooded my mind as I sat in the Burrow, the place that was my second home, with Ron in the next room.

(FB)

"I love you," I laughed at Ron. The quiet of the Burrow filled the entire house. Especially from the upstairs hallway, the house seemed empty.

"Why do you laugh when you say that to me? It doesn't make sound as real," he grumbled.

"It doesn't change the fact that it's real," I smiled. He shot me a pouty-angry look. "Aw…what's that? You're overdramatic."

"Well, I'm sorry. My girlfriend teases me; it's not something I'm used to."

I looked at him and he smiled. I kissed him softly. He kissed me back. We kissed each other repeatedly. Within seconds we were on the floor, him on top of me. He kissed me and I felt his hand slide under my shirt. His hands moved under my back and unfasten my bra. His hands explored me as his shirt came off. The quiet house suddenly seemed loud as we got farther and farther into what I wanted to never end.

Ron unbuttoned my blouse as he kissed me down my neck. His hands were like ice as he touched my body and made every nerve inside me shiver. I unbuttoned his pants as I felt him breathe above me. I kissed his chest as his pants made their way to the floor. He unzipped my skirt and left us both in nothing but our underwear. He kissed me down between my breasts to wear my underwear touched the top of my waist. It was only a couple of seconds until we were both completely naked.

His body was on top of me and he was kissing me. I felt safe under him, like nothing could ever harm me. I always felt that way when I was around him. I felt like there was nothing and no one who would ever be able to complete me like he could. I kissed his neck as I felt him enter me. It took my breath away to be such a part of him. That's as close as two people could ever be and we are that to each other. For a brief moment time stops and we are caught in the middle, frozen for a second as we become one.

I let out a moan as he moved in and out of body. My heart was racing but my mind was empty of anything except this second. He was breathing hard as we were both feeling everything within us reach its peak. I slid my hands across his back and kissed his neck as he pulled away from me, sweat pouring from him. He breathed hard as he lay beside me on the floor. I gasped beside him and we both looked at each other and laughed. I kissed him. He smiled at me and I kissed him again. I turned on my side and cuddled up to him. He put ran his hands through my hair as I smiled at him.

"Promise me we'll always be this way," I told him whole-heartedly.

He looked at me intently. "I want to promise you that, Mione. I want that more than anything. But I can't promise you that; if I ever had to break that promise, I wouldn't be able to live with myself. I will promise you, that I will always love you and as long as I'm alive, I will never give up on you and me being together forever. I'll never give you up without a fight. I love you."

"I love you too. So much." I replied as kissed him gently.

He laughed to himself. "So…will you ever be able down this hallway again without blushing?"

I laughed too. "No, I don't think so. Oh gosh, I never thought of that! We'll be in this house every year for the rest of our lives too!" He laughed at me as he pulled me close in his arms.

(NOW)

Tears were forming in my eyes as I looked up the stairs. Memories of all the times we were together took its place back in my heart. I was so caught up in my memories that I didn't hear Ron calling my name. "Hermione…is something wrong?" I looked at him quickly. He was kneeling down by my chair. "What's going on?"

I stood up. "I have to go."

"Why? We haven't discussed anything yet," he replied softly. His eyes followed mine to the top of the stairs. "Hermione…"

"I can't be here. This was a mistake. There's nothing to say—just stay out of my life!" I yelled and took a step away from him.

"Hermione what's the problem? Calm down! Talk to me!" he bellowed, jumping in front of the door.

"Talk to you? Talk to you? Fine! I'll talk to you!" I yelled back, If he wanted me to talk, I was going to talk and yell and scream like nothing he ever heard. He wanted me to talk to him, then I was going to talk to him. "Why is it like this? Why are we like this? I want back what we had when we had that! I want you to be that person for me again Ron! That's what I want!"

"Mione, that's what I want too. That's all I've ever wanted."

"Do you remember that day…"

"Yes, I do."

"Remember what you promised me… "I will always love you and as long as I'm alive, I will never give up on you and me being together forever. I'll never give you up without a fight." That's what you said. But you didn't do it! You didn't do it! Why didn't I mean enough to you for you to keep that promise? Why Ron? Why did you leave? Why didn't you owl or stop by or send word or use smoke signals to tell me you still wanted to be with me? Why did you let me marry Draco if you still loved me? Why did you not try to come back to me? Why wasn't I what you wanted?"

I yelled at him. Really yelled and I sobbed the entire time. I couldn't stop. Everything that I had held inside of me for three years was finally pushing its way to the surface. Ron stared at me blankly. "Hermione, I…"

"I don't understand Ron! I don't understand how you love someone with everything you have inside of you, every fiber of your soul and just walk out like you did! I don't understand! I would have done anything for you—anything! And you couldn't even stay! You said you would love me; that was your promise and you broke it! You broke it! You were the only one who never disappointed me! The only one—and you broke my heart. How can you say you love me, that you still love me, when you left me? That's not love Ron! It's not!" I didn't know what had come over me. I couldn't stop.

"Love is absolute, it's forever; it's something that you can never get back. Love is more than a ring and a law it's a life. It's something that you have with someone that can take you to a whole new dimension. Your life can be hell and you can see that person and everything else doesn't matter. That's love Ron. We had that. We had it! But it's over! It's nothing anymore! We're nothing anymore! We had a chance but that's done! I can't do it again! I can't! I won't. I can't let my heart break again over you…it's gone through enough Ron!"

I took a breath and saw him standing there. I realized that I said all that and now it was over. My eyes burned as tears continued to fall. "Goodbye Ron. I can't stay here with you. I can't…" I turned to walk out the door.

"Hermione, I can tell you all that. Wait a second!" He was in front of me before I could take another step. I couldn't see anything with the rate the tears fell from my eyes. "Hermione…I…I'm not letting you leave!"

"Ron," I sobbed. "I can't do this…please."

"You're not leaving, Hermione. Not until we talk." I couldn't move or think. I couldn't do anything but cry.

"Ron, I hate you for what you did! I hate it more than anything!" I screamed at him through my tears.

"No, you don't. You love me and you're not leaving."

He was right in front of me, I could feel him breathing he was that close. "Why are you doing this? I really…" I started to cry a little harder.

"You're not going anywhere," he whispered. I started to say something else to him but he kissed me, deeply and passionately until it took what little breath I had left away.

A/N: ah, a cliffy. Don't worry…I doubt you'll have to wait long for another but who knows? Anyway, POLL TIME!

This is like the only story I've written where I don't have an entire plot written out. It's a stretch through-and-through. So, I'm leaving some things up to you and I might listen to them. Here's POLL question #1…

Q: What happened? Why did Ron just walk out the door? Why did it end between them?

Give me your comments on what you think…I'd like to hear them. Thanks all!
