1 Year later:

Rose sat on the bench and looked out the window into her front yard. Again she thought of the boy who had stolen her heart and never given it back. The same boy that had told her he loved her and then left without a word of explanation. Her thoughts always seemed to come back to him when she had a spare moment. She let her mind take her back to the place where she was always truly happy. In his arms. Even if all she had these days was the memory of being in his arms it was better than nothing. She no longer had him to call her own. He was gone. Gone and he was never going to come back. Just as she always did when she thought of him she wondered why he had left. Was it something she had done or said? Was it something she didn't say or do? Or was it something that had been out of both of their controls? She sighed and hopped off the bench, walking towards her bedroom and hopefully, some decent study time. As she walked past the fridge she glanced at the calendar and when she saw the date she stopped dead. It had been exactly one year since he had left and she was still thinking about him everyday. For the second time in the space of 30 seconds she sighed and continued walking.

She put her music on full blast, laid down on her bed and sang along to her favourite songs. After a while she fell asleep, the stress of school and the exhaustion of late nights all week eventually catching up to her. She woke to the sound of the postie delivering mail up and down the street. She climbed off her bed and walked out the front door. She stumbled backwards and into the door she had closed behind her at the sight that meet her eyes. The sight of the man who had haunted her dreams since for a year. Not one day had gone past that she hadn't thought of him and wondered where he was now.

"Um hi?"

Hi? He had disappeared without more than a please don't forget me and now all he had to day was 'Um hi?"

Then, out of nowhere every bad thought, every ounce of anger she had ever had for the man in front of her, resurfaced with alarming brutality. So instead of saying anything, she simply turned back the way she had come and slammed the door behind her.

"No Rose please, Rose please wait" He yelled at her through the door.

"Why Scrop? She screamed back.

"Because I need to -" He stared

But she cut him off.

"No why did you come back? Why? To break my heart again? To tell me who your engaged to? Or to tell me who your starting a family with? Why Scorpius?" Her voice broke a little as she yelled out his name.

"I came back to tell you that I love you. To tell you that I had given up on staying with my family because every second I spent away from you nearly kills me. I came back to say sorry for being such a jerk to you! To say that if you would give you a chance I would love you forever and I would treat like a queen. I-".

But he stopped short because the door had been flung open and Rose had gripped him in a suffocating hug. He was momentarily stunned but then his face broke out into a relieved grin as he hugged her back. He gripped her with such force that is was a wonder that he ever let go. As he held her in his arms he sighed and thought "Maybe, just maybe it would be okay now"

The End
