Prologue
As he stared at the locket she had thrown back at him, his thoughts went back to her. He couldn't forget. She had to understand. She needed to know. They were working together but still Rose would not even look at Scorpius. He opened the locket and looked at the inscribed words, 'I love you…'
It was over anyway. But he couldn't help but care about it. Albus was the one who knew what happened. Rose chose to talk to him about anything but Scorpius. It was maddening for you to lose the one you love. And even more to know that they choose to ignore you.
Rose was the only girl he had ever truly fallen in love with. The others… Not really. He missed her. He wanted- no- needed to hear her voice. He needed to talk to her. It was probably impossible. He would always love her.
No matter what.

Rose just lay on her bed. She didn't understand. Why would Scorpius do that to her? She had thought he loved her. She snorted. Yeah right. Like he ever cared about anyone. She couldn't distinguish her feelings from each other.
Why on earth did he have to work in the same department as her. It was torture just to breathe the same air as him. He had lost her trust. He had shattered her completely. She chose to ignore him. She knew if she talked to him she would break down right there and then. True. He was the only one who had ever seen her cry. But now, she couldn't let him see her crying.
She missed him-painfully. She would confess that to no one. It was the same ritual every night. She cried herself to sleep every night. Thinking about his betrayal and how naïve she was. How stupid she was. And most importantly how much she still loved him.
She felt her neck. No locket. It felt empty. It felt like there was a big hole in her heart. A hollow empty feeling in her stomach. Just hearing his name made her want to cry. She never wanted to see him. But she knew she would always love him.
No matter what.
