Chapter Sixteen - Save Tonight
As hard as it was to pretend that they weren't parting, Draco and Ginny managed to spend two days like nothing was going to happen. They went on another picnic and went fishing on the first day. The second day, they decided to stay home and just nap under a tree for the afternoon.
"Come on," Ginny asked as she pulled Draco up. "Come on Draco, I'm hungry."
Groaning, Draco followed and let her lead him to the house. He wasn't surprised to find the house completely deserted. She pulled him into the kitchen toshow what she'd done. It was lit by many candles surrounding them and food lay on the table waiting to be eaten.
"I... Wow," he was speechless. He pulled out a chair for her and sat her down. "Thanks."
She gave him a quick kiss before they ate. They ate in silence and slowly as if trying to stop time. Today was their last day together and they didn't want their time to end.
"Once again, you made the food delicious," Draco smiled faintly. He looked at the clock. He had to leave early in the morning. He sighed.
Go on and close
The curtains
Cause all we need
Is candlelight
He took her hand and led her to the living room. She smiled as she slid her arms around his neck. He slowly wrapped his arms around her waist and held her close.
You and me
And a bottle of wine
I'm gonna hold you tonight
Oh yeah..."Take me with you," Ginny said though she already knew the answer to that. He shook his head. He could see the tears welling up in her eyes.
Well we know
I'm goin' away
And how I wish
I wish it weren't soHe could fell his spirits dropping from high to low. He began to feel hot as the tears blurred his vision. He wished he could stop the world from turning.
So take this wine
And drink with me
Let's delay our misery"I love you," she whispered as her hot tears flowed freely down her cheeks, "and I'll always love you."
He blinked away his tears. They fell onto her shoulder. He closed his eyes as she lightly touched his cheek.
"I'm going to be waiting," she smiled as best as she could. "So you'd better come back to me."
Tears running down his face, he slowly nodded.
Save tonight
And fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight
And fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow
Tomorrow I'll be gone..."You were the best thing that ever happened to me," Draco whispered as he held on to her.
She buried her face in his chest. She never ever wanted to let go ot him. She couldn't even think of a life without him.
There's a log
On the fire
And it burns
Like me for you
"Don't leave," Ginny pleaded before she could hold her tongue, "don't leave me."
Tomorrow comes
With one desire
To take me away
Oh it's true
"You know I don't want do," Draco felt like someone had sucked out his soul. "You know I want to take you with me, but I can't."
"Let me come with you, please."
Draco sat her down on the sofa, trying his best to comfort her. Every tear that fell from her eyes tore him apart.
It ain't easy
To say goodbye
Darling please... Don't start to cry
Cause girl you know I've got to go
Oh... And Lord I wish it wasn't so
"Ginny, don't... Please don't," Draco pleaded as he gently wiped her tears away. "I'll never forget you, don't worry."
She held him tighter. "I can't stop crying. Not when the one I-"
"Shush now."
Save tonight
And fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight
And fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow
Tomorrow I'll be gone
They sat on the sofa. Ginny crying while Draco tried to comfort her as best as he could. He whispered comforting words into her ear until finally, she'd fallen asleep. He watched her sleeping peacefully. He wanted to remember her this way forever.
Tomorrow comes
To take me away
I wish that I
That I could stay
Draco stroked her hair and fixd her so that she was lying down. He took a seat on the armchair. The only sound was the crackling of the fire. He began to count down to the minutes, each passing second more terrible than the last.
But girl you know
I've got to go
Lord I wish
It wasn't so
In a couple of hours, Ron would be outside, waiting for him. It hurt him to know that when she woke up, he wouldn't be there.
"Oh Ginny," he sighed burying his face in his hands, "what would I do without you?"
Save tonight
And fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight
And fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow
Tomorrow I'll be gone
"Draco," Ginny called out in her sleep. Her hand lifted into the air, searching for him. "Draco."
He immediately took her hand. She gripped it tightly. For a moment, he didn't want to let go.
Save tonight
And fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight...
There was a light tap on the window. Draco didn't want to look, but he had to. Sure enough, there was Ron standing there, gesturing for him to come along.
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Sighing Draco stood up. Ginny's hand still held his tightly. He pried her hand off his and looked down at her.
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Another tap on the window. He gave her a light kiss on the forehead and walked toward the door. Draco took one last look at her.
Tomorrow I'll be gone...
Save tonight...
"Goodbye Ginny," he sighed and walked out the door. He met up with Ron out in the yard.
"Don't worry mate," Ron clamped a hand on his shoulder. "You'll see her again."
Draco nodded as he hopped onto the broom.
Save tonight
He glanced at the livingroom window. He sighed.
"Yeah, I'm going to see her again," Draco said sternly. "I promise you Ginny, we'll see each other again. I promise."
Save tonight...
