The Accident
We were in our way back to school, we had driven. I didn't even know he could drive. I didn't know he had a car.
I had my head against the cool glass of the window, hoping to ease my throbbing head.
I knew I had let him down.
""I'm sorry. I really am.""
""What was that all about? I thought you wanted us to be together.""
""I…I do -- but together? It's so…official…it's so big -- for…us.""
""Maybe you should just say what you feel for one. Huh?""
""I could do that. I can…I can. I felt like I had to get out of there because… I might…really care about you, and it scared me so much because that meant that…you could hurt me. Maybe I just didn't feel ready, to like someone that much…like you.""
""Don't make it so complicates, Hermione.""
We came upon a yellow light and Draco floored it, trying to make it. It turned red before he got to it, so he picked up more speed.
Suddenly, a white light illuminated his face and he swerved, hard, leaving the road to avoid the on-coming car. There was a crashing sound and the windshield shattered. We hit a tree.
I got out of the car a laid on the ground, Draco stumbled over.
""I love you. Oh, God, Hermione, I'm sorry. I love you, I'm right here, just hold on. I'm right here,"" he said at the wrong place, wrong time, holding my hand.
""Happy New Year,"" I mumbled.
""I love you, Hermione, hold on.""
