This was killing Scorpius. He thought it had been worse when he wasn't able too see Albus, but now he knew better. Seeing Albus, talking to him, laughing with him, all that did was hurt Scorpius. Scorpius couldn't stand it. He yearned for Albus, vied for his attention. His heart beat faster every time Albus looked at him, and fell when Albus looked away. He rode a roller coaster of emotion. He let himself believe Albus might like him, then he died when realized it would never happen. He couldn't go on seeing Albus every day. It was too painful.
