{Main Characters: Lily Evans and Severus Snape}
Green Eyes
You loved her from the very first time you saw her in the park behind your house. Her long red hair flew in her eyes as she swung back and forth on the rickety swing of the park, telling her sister about the wonders she could do, not with smug smile but with awe. You fell deeper when she talked to you and took you as a friend, unlike all those who called you a 'freak' and avoided you like a plague.
She was the only one to stand by your side, even when separated by the barriers of houses. She was a Gryffindor, you a Slytherin... yet you two were best friends. Her vivid green eyes, the mirror to her heart always filled with love and care for you.
But what you gave her back in return? You betrayed her by calling her the foulest name. It broke her. You broke the strongest person you knew. Now, the same green eyes look at you with disgust, hurt and... god forbid, hate.
Things said in the heat of the moment were the things one regrets the most, you didn't realize the truth in the statement, until that day. After that no apologies were worth, she moved on. You felt betrayed. Silly boy, it was always the other way round. You sold her out, not realizing what it entailed.
Now, as you clutch the message of her death, the reality hits you. That those green eyes won't ever look at you, neither with love nor with hatred.
