A/N You may need tissues for this one too! There’s quite a bit of music/lyrics in this one. Almost a songfic, but not quite…

I included a link to a cover by a male artist so you could hear how a guy singing it would sound! :)

Song: “I Never Told You” Colbie Caillat

Original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YtzsUdSC_I

Cover: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iq4dGQtnN7g&feature=related (echo is annoying, but guy is good!)

Hermione felt like she was floating in a haze. It was so peaceful, but something was missing. Something was wrong. She tried to remember, but nothing came to her mind. She heard a voice in the background singing. It was a deep voice, but the lyrics she heard echoed in her mind were with a female voice.

“…I miss the way we breathe

But I never told you what I should have said

But I never told you, I just held it in”

She tried to focus on the song. The lyrics and the voice singing it were pulling her so it wasn’t too hard. The voice continued pulling her.

“And now I miss everything about you

I can’t believe it, I still want you

And after all the things we’ve been through

I miss everything about you…”

The deep, slightly off key, voice pulled at her heart strings. Who… Draco! Oh Draco, you deserve so much more than me. I’m broken. I can’t… I can’t. She tried to pull away, to go back to the peaceful haze, but the voice continued pulling her, not letting her escape again. She was crying on the inside.

“Hermione?” His voice sounded again. And he sounded broken “Come on baby. Come back to me. I love you. Please.”

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Draco never left Hermione’s side. After the first day, Madam Pomfrey had no choice but to put her into St. Mungo’s. She and the Headmistress gave him special permission to stay with her after he explained to them the reasons for Hermione’s silence on her struggles had to do with avoiding the hospital.

It was three days since her collapse and two days before her parent’s bodies were to be buried. They had to wait for the transport from Australia. Nothing the Healers did could wake Hermione up. They said she trapped herself in her own mind to protect herself and escape.

By the third day Draco was beyond lost. He remembered the last time she closed within herself and she had been singing to herself. Granted she was awake at that point and at least semi-aware, but he figured anything was worth trying.

Thinking about how he felt about Hermione, Draco came to the conclusion that he couldn’t fight it anymore. He loved her. But he never told her. She would know he loved her. She needed to know. He remembered a song and began to sing. He knew he was no singer, but it was worth it if he could get through to her.

“I miss those brown eyes, how you kiss me at night

I miss the way we sleep

Like there’s no sunrise, like the taste of your smile

I miss the way we breathe”

He couldn’t tell if it was having an effect or not, he just kept singing. He closed his eyes and let the tears fall down his face as he kept singing.

“And now I miss everything about you

I can’t believe it, I still want you

And after all the things we’ve been through

I miss everything about you…”

He opened his eyes and watched tears sliding down Hermione’s face. She was coming back to him. He tried talking to her. “Hermione?” he tried to keep his voice from breaking, and continued unsteady “Come on baby. Come back to me. I love you. Please.”

When the tears continued to fall but he got no response, he continued to sing.

“I see your brown eyes everytime I close mine

You make it hard to see

Where I belong to, when I’m not around you

It’s like I’m not with me.

But I never told you what I should have said… I love you

No, I never told you, I just held it in

And now I miss everything about you

I can’t believe it, I still want you

After all the things we’ve been through

I miss everything about you”

He watched as her eyes slowly opened and focused on his face. He grabbed her hand as His tears began to fall harder and he continued singing in a broken voice.

“But I never told you what I should have said

No, I never told you, I just held it in

And now I miss everything about you

I can’t believe it, I still want you

After all the things we’ve been through

I miss everything about you”

He finished and stared deeply into her eyes. He leaned forward and kissed her lightly on the lips, choking back a sob when he felt her return his kiss.

“I love you Hermione. Gods I love you. Please don’t leave me. I need you like I need air.” He sobbed into her chest.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Hermione heard Draco’s confession, a couple of times. She continued to cry internally only to actually begin to feel. The first thing she felt was the stinging pain of her left forearm. She already knew why she hurt and was glad for the pain. The second thing Hermione felt was the wetness on her face. I’m not crying internally, I’m crying.

She listened as Draco continued to sing the song. She knew it as Colbie Caillat’s ‘I Never Told You’. As she heard the song reaching its end, she began pulling herself to the surface with the words. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at Draco singing to her, his face pale, eyes red with heavy bags. When he leaned forward to kiss her, Hermione could not say no. She could not deny the fire that was lit inside her. The life he made her see. The future he made possible with those three words.

His sobs broke her heart. “I love you Hermione. Gods I love you. Please don’t leave me. I need you like I need air.” He sobbed into her chest.

Hermione couldn’t speak for the sobs fighting to escape her own chest. “Draco” she whispered in a rough unused voice. When he didn’t move she tried again, slightly louder. “Draco, love.” He picked his head up then. “I love you.” The smile he gave her made her warm all over. She smiled at him momentarily before her tears began again. “I’m so sorry. I’m so broken. You… I don’t deserve you.”

“No” he said roughly swiping at his eyes. At the broken look on her face, he tried again. “I mean yes you do, no I don’t want to hear it.” He placed his hands on either side of her face. “I need you. I love you. Please Hermione. Do you need forgiveness? I’ll give it to you. Do you need love? You have it. Do you need kisses?” he leaned forward and kissed her lightly again. “You can have as many as you want or need.”

Hermione gave him a watery smile. “You mean there’s something finally good in my life?” He smiled back and put his forehead against hers.

“I’m here as long as you want me here. I’m not going anywhere.” He looked at her seriously for a moment. “I do need to tell the Healers you are awake.”

Hermione looked around herself for the first time. “Where am I Draco?”

“St. Mungo’s.” She took in a breath, but he cut her off. “Hermione you have been unconscious for three days. After the first day Madam Pomfrey had no choice. I have not left your side, I promise you.”

Hermione nodded, but looked amazed. “You did that for me?” she rasped out. Draco nodded “I’m so sorry Draco. Thank you.”

Draco nodded in return before pressing the nurse call button. A younger woman with blonde hair walked in the room with her face in a book. “Did you want your lunch early Mr. Malfoy?” she asked in a bored tone.

Draco looked at the nurse with distaste. “No.” She looked up at his tone. “If you had been paying attention when you entered the room, you would have noticed that Miss Granger is awake.”

The nurse glanced to Hermione lying on the bed and dropped her book as she ran to get the Healer. The two chuckled at the shocked expression, even though it worried Hermione that her being awake was so shocking.

The Healer rushed into the room with relief in his eyes. “Miss Granger, I’m Healer Mendez. Welcome back.”

“I never left” she said coldly.

The Healer paused at that. “Yes. I’m sorry. That was insensitive of me.” Hermione nodded at him. “Well. I would like to examine you and do some tests to make sure your temporary coma did not cause any significant damage.” She nodded again, but looked at Draco with fear in her eyes.

He looked back at her shyly. “Do you want me to sing to you again?”

She looked at the Healer who seemed surprised at this offer, then looked back to Draco, pleading in her eyes. “Please?”

Draco thought for a few moments and tried to find the words that would help her heal more. The words that expressed everything he was feeling.

“Find me here, and speak to me

I want to feel you, I need to hear you

You are the light that's leading me to the place

Where I find peace again

You are the strength that keeps me walking

You are the hope that keeps me trusting

You are the life to my soul

You are my purpose, You're everything

And how can I stand here with you

And not be moved by you?

Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

You calm the storms and you give me rest

You hold me in your hands, You won't let me fall

You steal my heart and you take my breath away

Would you take me in, take me deeper now”

Hermione’s eyes never left Draco’s as he sang the song. She answered the questions given to her by the Healer and nurse automatically, not actually aware of the info she was giving, but knowing the information was correct.

And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?

Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?

Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

Cause you're all I want, you're all I need

You're everything, everything

You're all I want

You're all I need

You're everything, everything

You're all I want

You're all I need

You're everything, everything

You're all I want

You're all I need

Everything, everything

And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you

Would you tell me how could it be any better than this

And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you

Would you tell me how could it be any better-any better than this

And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you

Would you tell me how could it be any better than this

Would you tell me how could it be any better than this”

By time the song was over, the exam was complete and the Healer and nurse were waiting for the two to be able to speak with them. The nurse had tears in her eyes and the Healer looked on with an interested expression.

Hermione gave Draco another watery smile. “If you keep this up I’ll be dehydrated before long.”

He chuckled along with her then looked at the nurse and Healer.

Healer Mendez spoke to Hermione and Draco equally. “You are malnourished. I’m guessing before the events leading up to your admission, you weren’t taking very good care to eat proper meals. You are also dehydrated, which can be mostly accredited to your coma.” Hermione nodded at the descriptions.

“When can I leave?” she asked.

“I would like to keep you for observations for a few more days.”

“When can I leave?” she asked again. “Not how long you would like me to stay”

“If there is someone we can release you to, tomorrow at the earliest.”

Hermione looked at Draco, “Do you think the Headmistres…” she started before he interrupted.

“I will take care of her. I’m of legal age.”

Hermione looked at him in surprise. “Draco, you don’t have to. You’ve done so much for me already. I can’t ask…”

“I know you can’t ask which is why I am offering.” He leaned in and whispered in her ear “Would you really deny me the pleasure of being Healer Draco again?” Hermione blushed and giggled a very un-Hermione like giggle.

The Healer looked questioningly at the duo and Hermione cleared her throat. “Draco is of age and I am not opposed to being placed in his care.” She was proud of how steady her voice sounded.

“Hmm that is definitely unorthodox. Miss Granger, since you are still a student I will speak with the Headmistress. I know you are of age, but we need to be sure the school hospital wing can attend to your needs.”

“Of course Healer. Please let me know if there is anything else you need from me.” Hermione smiled at the old man, losing her snippy attitude might help her get what she wanted. The healer looked suspicious but said nothing else and left them alone in the room.

A few minutes after the healer and nurse left, the nurse returned with potions and a meal for Hermione. She dutifully took her potions and ate the gruel that the hospital provided for her. She had Draco laughing at the faces she made at the taste (or tasteless?) food.

“Don’t worry love, once you’re out of here, I’ll get you a proper meal.” She smiled at the blonde sitting beside her. Once she had dutifully finished her meal, Hermione scooted on the bed and pat the space beside her. Draco climbed in without a second though. Both dreamt of a future. Hermione now understanding there may be something to be happy about. Draco now understanding he would never be letting go again.

A/N: Sorry for all the music! Hope you all don’t mind. After the shower scene in the earlier chapters, it just seemed right to have it be the way to get through to Hermione. Thoughts? Also i named the chapter Everything because of the song by Lifehouse and the lyrics for Colbie Caillat's song include "I miss everything about you" so i thought it fit well. :) Also i'll be posting the rest of Scars tonight! Please Please Review and let me know what you think!
