Second chap!
I'll shut up and let you get to it. Harry's pov and 1000 miles by Vanessa Carlton.

I awoke with a start and blinked blearily at the lights shining through the window shades. Why did New York have to be so bright all the time?
Makin' my way downtown,
walkin' fast,
Faces pass and I'm homebound.
I looked over at Tom who was snoring loudly. Draco never snored. Whoa, I hadn't thought about Dray in awhile, well ok the last time I thought about him was yesterday but that's not the point. Ahem. I stared at Tom's face which I normally thought was handsome but tonight it just seemed ordinary. Now Draco's face…Gah! I smacked my head with my hand. It has been three months why can't I seem to forget him?
Starin' blankly ahead,
Just makin' my way,
makin' a way through the crowd.
I threw the sheets off and walked to the window. I lifted the shade and watched the millions of cars speed past. We lived on the second floor of some stupid apartment building. I must sound like I'm ungrateful but I'm not, Tom's a great guy and he kinda looks like Dray. Maybe that's why I can't stop thinking of him. Tom was nice and always made sure I was happy, anyone should be happy with him but for some reason I wasn't. Tom Felton; rich actor extraordinaire! Who wouldn't love him? 'You' a voice in my head said. 'And why is that?' I questioned, 'You still love that idiot Malfoy' the voice taunted.
And I need you,
and I miss you,
and now I wonder...
'He's not an idiot!' I thought angrily; forgetting entirely that I was arguing with my mind. 'Yes he is' the voice insisted, 'No he isn't; he's an amazing person!' 'A person who doesn't tell you he loves you?' I stopped and shook my head. Stupid voices.
If I could fall into the sky,
do you think time
would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
if I could just see you...
Tonight.
I started walking back to bed but I didn't want to sleep. I sat on the edge of the bed and Tom stirred. "Harry?" he said groggily, "I'm here Tom," I replied. He propped himself up on his elbow, "Everything ok?" "Yea, I'm just thinking about London" I said, 'Liar' the voice hissed. "Homesick?" Tom asked, "A little," I sighed. "You're keeping something from me," he said, 'Damn Tom and his perceptiveness!' "Tom," I looked at him and took his hand, "I don't think this relationship is gonna work," I said and waited for Tom to pester me with questions but instead his face remained passive and understanding. "You're right," he sighed and looked up at me through his bangs. "You still love Draco and…" he trailed off and I caught on, "And you still love Daniel Radcliffe" we smiled at our stupidity and burst out laughing. It felt really good to laugh.
When our laughter subsided Tom looked at me and squeezed my hand; "Go to him," he said. I looked at him disbelieving, "Right now?" I asked. "Yes, you go to Malfoy and I'll go to Dan. It's not that late; it's only 10:13" "You want me to fly to London now on my broom at night?" Tom smirked, "Yes." I smiled and pecked his lips lightly, "Fine but you better write to me about Dan," "Only if you write to me," "It's a deal!"
It's always times like these
when I think of you,
and wonder if you ever think of me.
I took off my pajamas and put on jeans and a blue sweatshirt. I took out my wand, "Pack trunk" I said and my clothes and belongings flew into the trunk in the corner. When I was finished; I looked back over to Tom. He had gotten up and had put on a shirt over his flannel pajama pants. "Well Tom I guess this is goodbye for now," "I guess it is." We shook hands and walked out the door together. We stopped outside the building and wished each other good luck and then he turned and was swallowed up by the crowd.
I took out my broom and snuck into an alley. I tied my trunk to my broom and cast a disillusion spell on myself and my broom and I kicked off.
'Cause everything's so wrong
and I don't belong.
Livin' in your precious memory.
It felt so good to be flying again; I had only flown once since moving here and that was a midnight flight with Tom. He had obviously been surprised at first when he found out I was a wizard but he had gotten used to it quickly and constantly wished he could do magic. I had gotten to know Tom when he was in London for a film he was in. He had just broken up with Radcliffe and I was feeling unloved by Draco and we just sort of clicked. Thinking of Draco; I thought of how big an idiot I was for leaving him. Sure he had never said 'I love you' out loud but he said it silently in the caresses and kisses.
'Cause I need you,
And I miss you,
and now I wonder...
Thewind whipped at me as I flew over the ocean, "Ok, I love flying but this pushing it!" I muttered. "Come on Potter you should be able to fly or are you still as bad as you were in school!" Draco's voice rang through my head and I plunged on.
If I could fall into the sky,
do you think time
would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
if I could just see you...
Tonight.
I looked at my watch as I finally approached England; it was 11:35. Would Dray still be up? 'There's a stupid question' I yawned as I set my course for London.
I, I, don't wanna let you know
I, I, drown in your memory.
I, I, don't wanna let this go.
I, I, don't.
Finally after about a quarter of an hour and a million thoughts of Draco later I approached London. 'Oh crap!' I thought, I was flying right towards a storm!
Makin' my way downtown,
walkin' fast,
Faces pass and I'm homebound.
The big thunderhead loomed about me and I flew underneath it; I've flown in storms before, I can handle this.
Or so I thought, I was about two miles from home when a lightning bolt hit the tail of my broom and I went careening towards the ground.
Starin' blankly ahead,
Just makin' my way,
makin' a way through the crowd.
I pulled on the shaft hard and just missed crashing. I landed shakily, 'Dang, my brooms useless now' I thought angrily, 'I'll get it repaired soon but I was so close!'
I looked around; there was no one outside and no cabs in sight. 'Guess I'm on my own' I sighed. I pulled my already soaked sweatshirt closer, gripped my trunk, and ran as if my life depended on it; and in a way it did.
And I still need you,
and I still miss you,
and now I wonder...
'What if he's already moved on?' the voice teased, I gritted my teeth and ran faster; ignoring that idiotic voice. 'He won't want you back, not after you ditched him' it said, 'Yes he will!' I growled. 'He never loved you anyway,' it persisted, "Then how come he always knows how I'm feeling and what I need and what I'm thinking?" I asked smugly. I could almost feel the voice glowering at me.
if I could fall into the sky,
do you think time
would pass... Us by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
if I could just see you...
'He doesn't need you!'
oh oh
'He doesn't want you!'
if I could fall into the sky,
do you think time would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
if I could just see you.
I finally came to our street and ran up to our flat; my lungs were burning and despite the rain, I was drenched in sweat.
I rang the doorbell and waited anxiously. 'He's with someone else'
If I could just hold you...
Tonight.
Draco wrenched the door open and stared wide-eyed at me, "H-Harry?"
"Hi Draco" I panted, "What are you doing here?" he asked breathlessly before putting up his cold façade. "I'm sorry," I panted; trying to catch my breath. God my lungs hurt. "Why?" he sneered; had he really moved on? "I realized my mistake," I said, "I couldn't live with Tom anymore because I'm still in love with you"
Draco looked surprised but he regained his composure and suddenly pulled me into a kiss. I froze, this isn't what I was expecting. Sarcasm and sneering; yes but kissing?
He pulled away but still held my face, "Harry, I'm the one who should be sorry," he whispered, "What are you trying to say Draco?" I whispered back. "I love you too," he replied, "I'm sorry I never said it before." "You said it Draco, just never out loud," I thought of all my experiences in the past few months, 'Any regrets?' the voice asked. 'Surprisingly no,' I thought, 'I needed the separation to realize how much I love Draco.' Draco's voice pulled me out of my reverie, "So are you staying?" he asked nervously.
"Well, let's see, my bags are here, I'm soaking wet and in desperate need of a shower, and you're standing there looking incredibly desirable. What do you think?" I said huskily. He licked his lips, "A shower huh?" I smirked, "Think you're gonna get lucky?" He pouted sexily, "Please Harry, I love you," I laughed silently and smiled. "That's all I need Dray, that's all I need."
If I could just hold you tonight…
I pulled him into a heated kiss and finally that stupid voice shut up.
