Disclaimer- Don't own the characters, don't own the song - It is sung by Something Corporate and it's name is Konstantine, so technically I don't own the chapter title either. Yay! I'm a lazy bum.

Chapter 4 - Konstantine

Tonks sighed as she slumped down on the chair in the living room. Why was Remus being so cruel? Had she done something wrong? She just didn't want to spend Christmas at The Burrow…

I can't imagine all the people that you know
And the places that you go
When the lights are turned down low
And I don't understand
All the things you've seen
But I'm slipping in between
You and your big... dreams

It's always you and my big dreams

There was a knock on the door. Remus entered, a guilty-looking frown on his lips. Silence filled the room for a while as they looked at each other.

Remus sat down beside her and sighed. "This really isn't working, is it?"

Those words struck Tonks hard.

And you tell me
That it's over
But I can't stand here in a patch of four leaf clover
And you're restless
And I'm naked
You've got to get out
You can't stand to see me shaking
No, would you let me go

"Get out," she whispered. Her voice was broken and full of hurt. "OUT!"

And you don't want to be here in the future
So you say
The present's just a pleasant
Interruption to the past
And you don't want to look much closer
'Cause you're afraid to find out all the hope
That you had sent into the sky by now had... crashed
And it did because of me

Remus jumped up in shock, obviously not expecting this reaction. Slowly, he exited the room. Tonks sat there with tears pouring out of her eyes.

And then you bring me home
Afraid to find out that you're alone, no
And I'm sleeping in your living room
But we don't have much room
To live

The past few days were obviously too good to be true. Lupin had finally accepted the fact that love is enough for a relationship to work. Age doesn't matter. She could even deal with his full-moon activities.

And I had dreams that I would learn to play guitar
Maybe cross the country
Become a rock star
And there was hope in me
That I could take you there
But dammit you're so young
But I don't think I care
And if I hurt you then I'm sorry
It's just this guilt has got the best of me

She curled up on the couch, shaking with anger. The man she had accepted so openly had thrown her away so easily – as if she meant nothing to him.

Slowly, she drifted off to sleep.

I'm not your star...

A/N: I know this chapter is really short, and if it weren't for the song, it would take like 5 seconds to read but I really don't have the time right now to make a proper update and this is the best I could do – sorry. Please R/R, I don't really want to continue unless I know some people are actually reading it.
