Okay, so, folks. This is a drabble-ish short whatever thing that I wrote when I was crying and stuff.
Anyway, it's dedicated to Zhie [Renzhie] because she's boss.
And, always, the Scorpius to my Lily.
They clashed.
They were both too strong, neither willing to submit to the other.
And when they were together it was all a fiery rush of passion.
[the real love came later]
Their story was a long one, full of fights and jealousy and needs above all else.
But the little things. The way he'd just hold her in his arms when she was upset, the way they'd laugh and smile and just be together.
She used to sit with her head buried in his chest, his head resting atop her flaming hair. They could just stay as they were for hours.
It was just them in the world, all alone together. She would listen to his heartbeat.
They needed no one else.
And her trust, her complete trust in him. He would never hurt her.
.
But now all she could feel was a-l-o-n-e.
He had torn her, with every apologetic smile, when he looked at her and didn't want her to go. But the words he said, his voice echoed in her mind.
"I think we should… break up."
With his eyes closed, like a coward. Like he couldn't bear to see all the pain he was causing. And now she was broken, all alone. In a disused classroom, listening to her own mangled sobs echoing off the walls.
He had ruined her.
What was she supposed to do?
