It's all over

So there we were, the two left-behind, broken hearts and it was all thanks to unrequited love. Both of us had never confessed, fearing what it seemed would have been, imminent rejection. Both of us had, in the process, lost a beloved best friend. Maybe we had brought it on ourselves. In the end, both of us had had to face the same bitter defeat because each of our best friends had met up, fallen in love and gotten married. None of that mattered any more. It was over for us.

I don't really remember what happened, but I felt dirty when I woke up. I vaguely remember someone kissing me and then kissing them back. It wasn't the sweet kiss that I'd always wanted from James Potter. It was rough, desperate and angry. I was suddenly aware that the room I was in was not my own and I turned to the left to see someone most unexpected - Severus Snape. I stumbled away and choked down a scream. Bile pushed its way up my throat. "What have I done?!"

I got dressed and out of there as quickly and as quietly as I could. Once I was out, I threw up in someone's garbage can. When I got home, I had a long cold shower.
