Turn Me On – Ginny
Ginny didn't know what to say. She just stood there, looking at him. It wasn't until he passed her on the way toward the door that she found her voice.
"Draco, wait!" she turned to face him. "Please, stay."
He had turned at the sound of her voice. He nodded and sat down, not sure what else to do.
She sat on the edge of the couch, still facing him. He wondered how she supported herself, she looked like if she actually put her weight down she'd slide off.
"Please, I…I don't know how…I don't really care why you didn't come." He wasn't sure how to take that. Was she trying to make leaving easier for him? Was she telling him to stay? "I…" she was fidgeting with the hem of her skirt.
He absentmindedly reached out and stilled her hands. "Gin…you don't have to…"
She looked up at him with a scared expression. "Yes I do!" She stood up and walked over to her window. "My heart's been so dark since you went away. Please don't take the light away again?" She turned to face him, fear still the most prominent emotion in her eyes. "You…I was telling the truth in that letter. I never have stopped loving you and I never will. Everyone I work with, all my friends think I'm crazy to pine over a guy I never even dated. They all have someone in mind for me, someone they think I should go out with, give a chance. They all think I'm wasting my life, sitting here alone, in love with someone I'll never see again. But I have! Here you are! No one else would ever be able to touch me the way you did, to get as close to me. Please, don't leave me in the dark again."
