Hullo gentle readers!

Dunno what came over me to do a second piece to this, but I felt it needed to be done. Since "That is how" is entirely based on personal experience, I thought it needed to continue on in light of recent events. I'm not too sure whether I'll add on a third chapter or not. Maybe...lets wait and see what happens between me and...that person...>.>

Welp, this is still in Harry's POV and for those of you who were confused from the first part, it WAS Draco who raped him. Just for clarification. But, yeah, ok, I know this one is pretty choppy and totally not like the first part, but thats the point and you love it cause I say so. Anyways.

The plot is Draco comes back after a pretty long disappearance after the "incident" and asks to meet up with Harry. He's already sent a letter to apologize, but this is the first time they've met face-to-face since they broke up and he wants to try being friends again...

Right. ON WITH THE SHOW!

Enjoy and REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!


Smile
Look my way
Notice me
Notice me
Notice me
melt

Beautiful
As always
"You too"
Such a shame
Do I believe?
DO I?

Pretty words
I want to be naive
I WISH I was naive
I'm not
I know I'm not
You know I'm not, too
But we'll pretend

Talk
Talk
Talk
So much to say
But we never just say it
Everything else
JUST SAY IT!

So you do

I look away

I'm not naive
We've been over this
You know I'm not
We can't pretend

You scarred me deeply
It'll never heal
Maybe I'm to blame
Maybe I linger
Dwell
Remember...

Like your eyes
They're beautiful
As always
Your voice
I don't even realize I missed it so much
I did
Your warmth
Spreading from shoulders into souls

Close my eyes
Pretend
Just for a bit
Like I still could
Like I never stopped
Pretend
We're inlove
So tragically inlove
Waves crashing beneath us and storms above us
Yet we still kiss on that cliff and never fall
Never
Never
Never

Maybe just once
I lean too far
Its inevitable
You can't catch me
And I die
A bloody mess at the bottom of our naivity

So lets not pretend
Let me look at you
Look at me
Notice me
SEE me
The REAL me
Look at my scars
See my tears
Know the dirty, ugly, filthy mess underneath the most gorgeous person you'll ever meet

Love me
Just love me

Yes
Like that
Just like that

With arms
And bodies
And warmth
And tears
And promises
And apologies
And whispered memories of a dream we'd long woken from

Yes
Yes
Like that
Love me

Do I?
I never stopped
I always touched with tentative fingertips
As if you'd break
As if we'd break
Cause you're porcelain
We're precious china
But I broke us
You broke us
We're broke

So hold me like its not a lie
Its not pretend
I really do believe your words on my cheek
I trust those hands on my neck and hip
I don't flinch under those sharp grey eyes

Lets just sit here
Talk
About nothing
Like we're fine
Cause we're fine
I'm fine
Things haven't changed
Ron and Blaise are still alive
Just in the next room
We can still hear their laughter
There's still warmth in the world
I can still trust you
Can't I?
Can't I?
Can't I?

A shiver
A tear
I push
Pretend is over
A lie wasn't enough
An ache
A hollow
Not enough

So love me
yes
like that
cold hug
salty kiss

Don't look at me like that
I bear the burns of your sin on my neck
Don't look away now
See them
See ME
Love me
Just love me
Don't pretend
Don't look away
Hold my hand
MEAN IT
Cry for me
On your knees
On my knees

No more
Maybe
I don't know
Just love me
Do I?
I never stopped
Do I?
Do I?
Do I?
I don't know...
Ask me again tomorrow
