I could hear his steady breath next to me. Normally that is enough to lull me to sleep. I can't fall this time even though I'm exhausted. I can feel the sweat and other things cool on my body. I know that he will just get up in the morning and leave. Pretend that he doesn't sleep next to me each night. Pretend that we are enemies. I trace his face with my eyes. Angelic. When he sleeps is when his guard is down. The sneer that is usually etched in his face is smoothed away. Pale skin glows in the moonlight. I roll over and get out of the bed. I just wish he knew how much he meant to me. I just wish that I could have told him just once that I love him. I point my wand to my head. You have to really mean it with the Unforgivables. "Avada Kedarvra."
