The Breakdown
Dear all, thank you for the reviews. This chapter may be a bit confusing as to why Hermione behaves like this but I promise to give an explanation in chapter seventeen. Joga
Chapter Sixteen
The next day
It was 8 a.m. when Hermione heard a knock on the door. She has just dressed up and was brushing her hair.
\"Who is it?\"
\"Draco.\"
\"Come in.\" replied she reluctantly.
\"I just wanted to say that most probably we will be unable to fly out as planned. There seems to be a hurricane approaching. We will have to wait here.\"
\"Thank you.\" She made no move, fully aware he was looking at her intensely. Seeing no reaction from her side, he shook his head and went towards the door. He placed his hand on the knob, when he changed his mind.
\"Hermione, please give me one more chance.\" He whispered.
There was silence.
\"I know that everything I said and done was inexcusable but…\" his voice trailed off. \"Hermione, please let me make it up for you. I love you so much. Give me one more chance. I\'ve treated you in the worst of manners. I said things I am so ashamed of now. I based my accusations on things that… I should have asked you first before jumping to conclusions. I should have trusted you. I behaved in such an unspeakable manner… I hurt you so much…\" Hermione got up and went towards the window. He could see she was sobbing. She covered her lips with her hand and closed her eyes, tears rolling down her cheeks.
\"Hermione, if you don\'t want to give me the chance, give it to yourself. Admit that you are unhappy without…\"
\"How dare you say so? How dare you ... after all you\'ve done to me? I am to give myself the chance of being with you! I should throw you out of this room. How dare you…\" she couldn\'t finish, the sobs were shaking all her body and she sat down on the sofa next to the window.
\"Hermione, I\'m sorry. I don\'t want to hurt you, not anymore.\" He came closer to her. \"I know that whatever I say will sound wrong but I have to do something. I cannot live like that. The last weeks were a Hell on Earth for me. I know I\'ve sinned but forgive me, please. Give us another chance. This one last time.\" He knelt next to her, she was still sobbing. He caressed her hair.
\"Draco, I ... I feel so… after all that happened, I just…\"
\"Hermione, please. I will beg, if there is a need but…\"
\"Stop it, stop it right now. Do you know how I felt being accused of leading double life? Do you know how I felt when you called me a bitch? I felt so dirty! The first man I fell for in my adult life and it turns out that he takes me for a whore! Get out of here, now. I hated you so much! ... I hated you! I hated you! I hated you!\" she was hitting his chest with both fists, crying and yelling at him. He caught her fists and forced her to stop hitting him. She was crying so terribly that the only thing he could do was - to hug her. He held her tight, fighting her attempts to break away. Before he realised it, he was pressing her with all his body to the sofa, their tears mixing together.
\"Wasn\'t that enough? Now, you are trying to rape me!\" called she, not believing she was actually saying it.
That made him let her go. He got up:
\"I believe you\'ve said enough, Miss Bennet.\"
He walked towards the door. He opened it and left her. He didn\'t even slam it.
*************************
He sat on his bed and wrapped his arms around his knees. He felt tears rolling down his cheeks. His heart was aching. The only thing he could think off was: why? Burying his face in his laps he sobbed. He\'s done her a great wrong but she treated him bad too. No matter what he has done to her, she had no right to claim he wanted to rape her. It was getting darker and darker outside. There was this terrifying silence and he could hear Hermione cry in the next room and then… the wind broke.
*************************
Three hours later
The storm hit the island. Malfoy has been standing in the windowchinching the trees bending on the wind. The rain was strong and the thunders were hitting the ground. He could cry no more. Something died within him and he knew, it would never come back to life, unless… unless Hermione was at his side. That seemed impossible now, after what she had said. When she was calling, she hated him, he thought she was just giving way to emotions she held back for so long. Now, he wasn\'t sure. She should have known he would do her no harm. No, she could not have known. After all he hurt her badly. But that was no excuse, maybe it would be if she didn\'t say he wanted to rape her with this cold voice, with steel-like eyes.
Suddenly, a thunder hit a nearby tree. A huge branch was cut away. And then… there was a terrible noise of broken glass. The branch landed in…
\"Hermione!!!!!!!!!!!!!\" called Draco rushing towards the door.
