A/N: songfic...again! Song: Coming Clean-Chase Coy word: Heartbroken

Lysander,

I'll start from the top, but you have to read the whole thing. From your name to mine.

You know I'm popular, and I'm not bragging, but it isn't easy. I tell those girls I love them but I don't. It's something I need to do to stay popular. I guess the words are overused. I had never known what love felt like until I met you, Ly. You are my heart. I may not be able to come out now, but give me time. I'm coming clean to you, I'm sorry if I lied before to you. When I laughed at you, I didn't mean anything. When Lily called you a faggot, I winced too. You ran too fast to hear me call to you after they were gone, but I tried to apologize. I guess this is my extended apology. I don't want you to be heartbroken when you see me with girls; every one is proof I'm a coward. You are strong though, Lysander. You told everyone who you were and you weren't ashamed. It's not that I'm ashamed, I just have too much at stake. I'll come clean to everyone else soon enough, I'm just not ready. You may have to teach me how to love though, Lysander. I'm terrible at it. They don't really know me, but you do. I know I can't take back what I've done to you, but I love you, Lysander Lovegood. I really do. Please love me back.

Sincere apologies,

Scorpius Malfoy
