It had been a cold, dark evening that last night.

He was very clear. His words cut like a freshly sharpened knife. "You must choose." he could practically feel the blood falling from his body as he felt his heart break. drip one, drip two.

"It is not fair to string me along if nothing will come of it, Sirius. You must know that." his glare burned right through Severus. "You think I don't know that? You think Remus and I haven't stayed up for hours talking about this? About what this is doing to me? It's pracically killing me and all you tell me to do is choose Severus, choose between you and my best friend. How in the hell am I supposed to do that? tell me! tell me now! how can I when just the thought of it is eating me alive. Is this how you want me to feel?"

"Yes Sirius, really I do. I want to hurt you because your friend is such a vicious bastard. Sirius, damnit, be...be serious. All I want is you. All I've ever wanted is you. But...we can not be, not if james is in the picture. He has tried too many times to ruin things, and you let him. You shrug it off because yes, he's your best friend. But he has tried to kill me on a number of occasions. Even more so since he found out about us. And all the talking in the world isn't going to change that!" he had turned around after that last one. Sirius knew he'd walk off any second now. and then, then it would be over. Kind of like a bandaid that took its time coming off. But the after effects would be life changing. How do you let yourself get over the one you love, to keep the one you can't bare to lose?
