Drabble: I Don't Love You
I Don't Love You
PG-13
Harry/Ginny
Warnings: Break up.
Summary: Harry breaks up with Ginny, Ginny relives it in her memories.
AN: Wrote this today. Feeling very tired, but I wanted to share this. It fitted so well with Harry and Ginny, but this is very personal, because its basically the same conversation/argument my ex and I had. Except for the part where the other person is Draco, my ex wasn't gay, just found some other girl.
I don’t love you anymore. I can’t explain it. I’m so sorry. I never meant to hurt you.
But you did love me. I know you did. How can you suddenly just stop loving me? After everything we’ve been through together, how can you suddenly just decide you don’t want me anymore?
It’s not sudden. I’ve been thinking this for a while.
But all those things you said… about wanting a house together, to get married, have children? You said you wanted that with me! You promised me you’d marry me that day, and that you’d always be mine.
I just can’t explain. I just don’t have that feeling anymore. I can’t explain it. You know that sensation that makes you love someone? That unexplainable feeling? It’s gone. I don’t know why. But I don’t love you anymore. It’s so hard for me to say that, because I did love you, and I do care about you. But I just can’t be with you anymore. You don’t make me happy.
Silence.
Her heart breaks.
Who is the person Ron mentioned in the owl I read that you said was just a friend? D someone?
It is just a friend.
I don’t believe you.
I promise, D is just a friend.
Harry James Potter, I’ve known you long enough to know when you are lying. Tell me the goddam truth.
Silence.
Please. Please tell me. You know I can’t bear not knowing. It will tear me up inside if you don’t tell me.
If I tell you, promise not to do anything rash?
Fine, whatever, I promise, just tell me!
D is… I’ve fallen in love with D.
Stunned silence.
Who is she?
He. Draco.
I think I’m going to be sick.
Ginny -
No, don’t say a word. You’ve hated him your whole life, and suddenly you’re talking to him again for a couple of weeks and all of a sudden you fucking LOVE him? When’s his fucking birthday?
I… I don’t know…
And you think you love him. You don’t love him. You’re infatuated, but you don’t love him. You love me. You’ve been with me for four years. I’m the one you’re meant to be with. I’m the smart choice. I love you, please, please don’t do this to me.
I do love him. But I’m not breaking up with you for him. I had already decided I needed to end it with you before I even started talking to him again. I’m ending it because I just don’t love you anymore.
I don’t love you anymore. I don’t love you anymore. I don’t love you anymore. I don’t love you anymore. I don’t love you anymore. I don’t love you anymore. I don’t love you anymore. I don’t love you anymore. I don’t love you anymore.
Ginny curled further under the covers, hugging a pillow to her chest. She was wrapped up in one of Harry’s old hoodies, one he’d left behind for her years ago. She blinked tears from her eyes and tried to push the memories from her mind.
Harry had broken up with her a week ago. For someone else. No, she kept reminding herself. Because he didn’t love her, whether he started something with someone else or not, he didn’t love her. She choked back a sob.
He didn’t love her. It was over. Everything she’d hoped and dreamed for. Gone.
Just gone, just like that, because he decided to be selfish and do what made him happy. Never mind that she would be unhappy in the process.
It was over.
