This chapter was going to be longer, but I like the ending of it better. Don't worry, there's still more to go! Thanks for reading!
Chapter Six Priceless Psychopath
Things happened fast from then on out. Severus over loaded himself with N.E.W.T. work just to distract himself from Remus and Sirius. They had gotten back together the very next day, when Severus, who had thought it through that night, had decided to confront Remus and apologize, he had found them kissing in the Great Hall, for everyone and their mother to see.
And Sirius had caught him staring, looked up, and said, "What's with you, Snevvy? Like what you see?" But no, that wasn't even the worst part. Remus had started giggling at his comment and buried his face in Sirius' neck, telling him how clever he was. Clever!
Severus was trying desperately to ignore the pain in his chest at every glance at the happy couple, but it just hurt so much. He looked at nothing when he walked the halls, and concentrated hard on his note taking when he was in class shared with the Gryffindors. Even ones with just Remus were spent promptly ignoring him.
On the day of graduation, supposedly the happiest day of their Hogwarts careers, Severus stood away from everyone taking pictures and cheering excitedly, knowing that he would have only unhappy memories of Hogwarts thanks to Remus.
That was when he noticed the werewolf standing alone, smiling softly at Lily arguing with James about getting a house together a few feet away. Maybe if he just talked to him just once…
Severus moved forward and stopped in front of Remus, who blinked up at him slightly startled. "Remus, I want to say sorry for what I did and-" He stopped as Remus turned away from him, going over to Sirius who had been heading towards them. Remus buried his face in Sirius' chest and Sirius grinned widely at Severus.
The black haired teen stood, shocked for a moment, then turned and ran from the group of happy seventh years and into the Forbidden Forest.
Oooo0000oooO
Severus held up the blade watching the sunlight glint off it. He sat in the same place had had made love to Remus the first and only time. A fitting place to die, and only Remus would know the meaning.
His life had ended the moment Remus ran away, so it was only proper he die here.
Severus brought the small pocketknife down and drug it across his wrists, hissing in pain and gritting his teeth. He dropped the knife when he had finished and slumped to the side, his eyes falling shut slowly, and his left arm falling into the small stream, tainting the clear water with red.
Oooo0000oooO
"Well Mr. Snape, you gave us quite a scare." Dumbldore's voice was the first thing Severus heard, and he knew he wasn't in heaven. Severus slowly opened his eyes and looked up at Dumbldore, frowning at his old face. He looked down at his wrists and saw they were wrapped in bandages. "Luckily Mr. Lupin ran after you and brought you to us before it was to late. All the seventh years were quite worried, you know."
Severus had a sudden image of Remus dragging him from the forest and his entire class rushing over to see he had attempted to take his own life. And all of them on the train ride home, with Remus retelling the story and being told he was a hero.
Severus closed his eyes again and began to sob.
