Southern Comfort

Southern Comfort
The Straw that Broke the Camel's Back

Draco sat up and winced at the twinge of pain in his head.

"Why don’t you love me anymore, Harry?" He asked quietly.

Harry wrenched his hand out of Draco’s and took a few steps away from the bed. He cleared his throat and said,

"I think we’ve grown apart. I don’t think you really felt much for me or you wouldn’t have been snogging Crabbe in the potions room and I have been confused for awhile but after today I’ll have a new boyfriend who can help me figure myself out."

Draco’s eyes were very cold as he stared at Harry blankly.

"YOU FUCKING SLUT!!!" he yelled, "You don’t think we are growing apart, you just want someone to shag while I’m laid up in the hospital wing!"

"Don’t you FUCKING DARE you slimy Slytherin piece of SHIT!!!" Harry shrieked.

"You have NO Idea what I went through when you and Ron were laid up in the here. You just ask Madame Pomfrey how often I was here talking to you even though you were unconscious! Do you know how many opportunities I had in the last two weeks to go slutting around... Do you KNOW how many people I could have shagged! BUT DID I??? NO!!!!!!!!! I sat in the fucking hospital wing holding YOUR fucking clammy hand, bawling my eyes out because ‘my love’ was lying in a coma and might never wake up! And to top it all off I’ve lost my best friend because I was defending YOU! Last night was the first night in weeks I didn’t cry myself to sleep or even thought about looking at another guy. I just came to the realization that I didn’t love you in the last 24 hours. I don’t even know what I ever saw in you. I don’t think I ever really loved you. I think I only dated you because at the time I didn’t know anyone else who was gay and I felt that I had to love you because no one else wanted my love. You know what? I found out last night that I am better than that. I’m through settling for second best! I’m sorry Draco but this is goodbye. Its been fun but wasn’t meant to last."

At that Harry turned on his heel and left the hospital wing, Draco, and their broken relationship behind him.
