I hope you like it!
A.N.:The song 'Boulevard of broken dreams' by 'Green Day' does not belong to me! I only borrowed the lyrics for inspiration.
Take my hand and I will guide you through your boulevard of broken dreams
.
My shadow's the only thing that walks beside me
my shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there would find me
'till then I walk the empty street
on the boulevard of broken dreams
.
Lily doesn't really know what to do, so she just remains standing right where she is; at the top of the small, white marble staircase that leads into the beautiful garden. There she stands and watches him.
His long, slim and delicate fingers carefully turn the small and golden shimmering diamond, that is connected to the matching golden chain around his neck.
Time after time, he brushes his fingers through his blond, almost white hair and sighs.
Yes, the Malfoy men are indeed easily recognized; though Lily thinks that it has more to do with the way their handsome faces look; especially when they smile in this rather secretive way.
The fact that Scorpius still hasn't noticed her only makes it more and more obvious that the young man is completely lost in his own thoughts.
When Lily's eyes fall on the tears that are now freely flowing down his face, she decided to take matters into her own hands.
Carefully, as not to startle him, she descends the spiral staircase of the Malfoy estate and sits down on the small bench next to him.
At first, she doesn't say a word and together, they quietly stare at the tiny rose garden, that was enfolding in front of them.
"Everything will be alright, Scorp," the girl finally whispers.
His only response is to take one of her slim hands into his own.
Lily know exactly what is going on in his head right now. After all, the red-haired girl had been equally shocked at seeing her father's outburst upon the discovery that his only daughter is dating his former enemy's son.
After this rather unlucky encounter, Scorpius vanished and it took Lily quite some time to find her boyfriend again. In the end, it was only logical that he is here.
It's his late mother's favourite place.
"I miss her," he whispers and finally wipes away his tears; then he turns his head to fully look at her with his still teary grey eyes.
"I know," was all the red-head replied; but she softly squeezed his hand.
She doesn't really know what else to say… both her parents are still alive and she loves them with all her heart (despite her earlier encounter with her father).
"He hates me, doesn't he?" Scorp suddenly asks and turns his eyes away from her.
Lily sighs.
"I'm sure he does not hate you. He simply didn't expect it. But he will come around. He just needs a little time."
Scorpius shakes his head and gets up to walk closer to the flowers.
"You shouldn't be with me, Lily," he finally whispers in a thick, emotional voice and looks with her with sad, grey eyes.
All she can do now is stare at him wide eyed. "What are you talking about?"
The handsome young man sighs again and tucks his mother's necklace back under his shirt.
"I never though a wonderful girl like you would ever love someone like me."
"Scorp, please-"
"No, hear me out," he mumbles and carefully picks up one of the flowers.
"These last few weeks with you have been the best in my entire life. But you love your family. You love your father. I don't want you to fight because of me. And well, I'm already used to walk with no one but my shadow next to me so…"
One after another, he tears away the red rose-petals and slowly, like in slow motion, the fall to the ground.
Lily also gets up now and touches his hand.
"Dad and I got into a fight, yes, but I won't let you continue to walk on this boulevard of broken dreams any longer," she tells him and glances at him with her beautiful brown eyes. "You deserve some love, too. And I love you. So very much. We will get through this, Scorp. Together. Just – Just take my hand and I'll guide you."
Scorpius finally looks at his girlfriend. Relieve, gratefulness and love are shining in his astonishing grey eyes. The eyes she had fallen in love with all those weeks ago.
With one swift movement, he puts his strong arms around her slim waist and kisses her lovingly. In return, she puts her own arms around his neck and presses her body against his stronger one; showing him that she is there for him.
