Need You Now.
Personal Thoughts.
His fingers twitched to reach for the phone but he knew there weren't going to be any messages or calls. She was long gone probably at the Weasels. Hissing he reached for the whiskey losing the glass he put the bottle to his lips and let the thick drink coat his throat. It burned as it went down and he coughed for a minute. He hadn't really been a drinker but he was in so much pain and Blaise had always got rid of all his problems that way so why couldn't he? Slamming the bottle down on the table Draco Malfloy ran his hands through his hair and propped his head up on his kitchen table. His and Hermione's kitchen table. She had left hours ago and now he was sitting here dying in his own self pity. You would think after being married for a year and a half they wouldn't be fighting as much as they had been recently, but they were. All because he wouldn't change his haughty self. He was stupid and selfish and only really cared about people's status in the world, but she couldn't expect him to change over night, but he understood why she was mad, because he had promised her he would when they first got together and he hadn't. He was just a stupid prat who he didn't even deserve.
He acted like he didn't care but really he did. He wanted his Hermione back so bad. Her diamond ring still lay in the floor by the door and her suitcase was packed and gone. Her car wasn't in the driveway, her toothbrush wasn't in the holder, and her favorite pair of earrings weren't sitting on the bathroom counter. Her laughter wasn't filling the house and she wasn't propped in her usual chair with a book in her hand. They were only twenty years old and had only been out of school for a year and they were still fresh from the war that had ruined many lives. In a way they had helped each other out of depression after that dark time. Glancing at the clock it read two in the morning. Frowning he lifted himself from the chair and made his way to the bathroom trying to make himself look at least a little presentable.
Draco had never been one to run after someone. Even when his father left him and his mother and then his mother killed herself. He hadn't cried or showed any form of expression. He just dealt with it, but with Hermione it was different. He loved her and so he was going to do what any man in love should. Chase after his woman. Apparating from his house he found himself at the end of the burrow's driveway. Beginning the walk up it he was nervous, scatter brained, a little drunk, and mostly scared. Staggering up the path he knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer. Preoccupied by the weird flowers that were growing beside the house it took him a minute to notice the faces that appeared in the door. Three red heads and a brown head stared back at him. Glancing up with somewhat pleading eyes he hated that he was coming to their mercy. "Please…" He croaked as he looked at them all. "Where's Hermione?" Hoping that this would all go easily he watched as they moved out of the way and the girl of his dreams stood in the doorway anger clearly expressed on her face. She crossed her arms over her chest and her nose was scrunched making her freckles look all crinkly. Taking a step toward her he stopped looking at the men who were standing around him. He seemed so much smaller in the prescence of all those that cared about his girl. Hermione motioned for them to leave and they did begrudgingly.
"I'm sorry," That's all that he could get out of his mouth considering it felt like it was filled with cotton and he probably looked like he had been beaten up or something. Looking at her he could see the tinge of anger that still painted her face. Moving toward her again he waited for her to say something but she just turned away from him. "Please Hermione, say something…" She glanced at him with watery eyes.
"Why should I? It's not like you care any about our relationship! You treated me like my opinion didn't even matter! You're… You're just like… like… your father!" She hissed causing pain to shoot through Draco's chest. If there was one thing he didn't want to happen it was for him to be like his father. Moving toward her he grabbed her face in his hand and pulled her chin toward him staring in her eyes tears threatened to spill over his own.
"I'm sorry Hermione and this time I mean it! I want to change for you!" He dipped his head and locked his lips with hers and as her arms blocked him from her they slowly began to loosen and her body melted in his arms. He released her and she nodded at his words. "Let's go home."
a/n: I know I know. Sappy sappy. I guess you could say I'm taking a leaf from Nicholas Spark's page. So this was inspired by Need You Now by Lady Antebellum (but really the sam tsui cover because he's AWESOME). So hope you like it.
