A/N: This chapter was based entirely on my favorite song (at this time haha) and I really am quite proud of it. There are some lines that seem to come directly from the song, probably because I stole some and reworded them (: I hope you like this little drabble just as much as I do!

Listen to: Fix You Cover by Secondhand Serenade. Or, if you prefer, Fix You by Coldplay.

Fix You

"And the tears come streaming down your face,
When you lose something you can't replace,
When you love someone but it goes to waste,
Could it be worse?"

She hit her head against the stone wall behind her, not caring if she cracked her skull in the process. How had this happened? She had tried so hard to convince him that she was better for him than her without coming out and saying it directly.

He was her best friend, but that was all. She needed more than that, and she had failed.

Tired. She needed sleep, but the tears streaming down her face reminded her that she was in too much pain to ever find comfort in a few hours of unconsciousness.

Far too convinced that there would never be anyone better than him, no one to replace the feelings she felt for him, Rose pulled her knees closer to herself and buried her face into them.

She loved him so much she could hardly breathe. Every time that he said her name it sent her heart into a frenzy. He was the sole best thing of her existence. She went to sleep every single night thinking of him, she dreamt of him every night, and every morning she woke elated, knowing that in just a few short minutes she would get to eat her breakfast with him at her side.

He was her best friend and closest confidant, and her love for him hadn't been enough. She had lost him, and the pain was unbearable. She realized her love had been for nothing as she watched another girl wrapped in his arms, kissing the only thing that kept her from falling everywhere at once.

Her love had gone to waste. She could feel her heart slowly breaking.

"It could always be worse, you know." a voice said quietly, bringing her out of her silent torment for a few moments.

Could it? Could it be worse?

She ignored the platinum blonde boy who stood not five feet away from her, his hands in his pockets as he looked her tenderly.

He settled himself next to her on the floor, sitting cross leggedly and looking the opposite way.

Why can't he just let me be? she thought to herself.

"It's kind of sad," he murmured, "that he can't see how madly in love with him you are. . . . Maybe he would have thought twice before kissing that girl in front of you."

"Please," she whispered brokenly. "Just go."

He turned to look into her eyes, she was surprised to see her own devastation mirrored in his.

She didn't recoil when he stretched out his hand to meet her cheek. He gently wiped away her tears and pulled her towards him.

"It's okay to cry." he said.

And she found that the tears that had been streaming down her face a moment ago were only the beginning raindrops in a storm so violent that it created a flood. She was grateful for the boy who followed her from the party above to hold her while she cried in anguish. She knew that slowly the ache in her chest would begin to subside, but for now she was comfortable sobbing in the arms of a kindhearted, compassionate, and considerate stranger.

A/N: So, I hope you liked it! Obviously.
One detail I didn't include when I wrote this - the boy who broke Rose's heart was Lorcan Scamander - Luna's son. I didn't see the need to include that in the story, so I left it out. I figured I could just tell you in my A/N, which I did! Don't you just love me? (:
