Chapter Twenty-Seven: Hogsmade and Long Conversations.

Callahan's POV

I sat in a booth in the Three Broomsticks waiting for Tessa to show up. I swirled my fire whiskey around in its glass. I want to talk to Tessa about the article Rita Skeeter wrote. I know Tessa says she isn't cheating on me with Androv, but it's not so hard to believe that she is. Tessa and I grew up together; we always knew everything about each other. Androv's father had always been a friend of the family but he would always be more mysterious than me. He's a Bulgarian. And He's big and Muscular, he's seventeen. Seventeen, only a year older than her, he is perfect for her isn't he? I looked up hearing the door open and Tessa's laugh bright as bells. Man today is going to be the hardest day of my life.

"Hey, Hun," Tessa greeted kissing me, I could taste her honey flavored Chapstick. I missed that, I also missed the way her curls frame her face perfectly and the way she smiles more from the left side of her mouth. It's not a smirk, but her genuine smile. "What's on your mind?" She asked slipping into the other side of the booth. God I'm going to miss her.

"I've been thinking about the article." I whispered watching the color drain out of her face.

"Why? I thought we moved past it." She whispered looking down at the table. I bit my lower lip feeling poorly about what I was about to do. I was about to give up the love of my life, my other half. God Tessa is the other half of me, but she deserves better than me.

"It got me thinking Tessa." I told her, "Maybe you're too young to be tied down to one guy. Maybe you're too young from me." She looked at me hurt and shocked,

"Are you breaking up with me?" She asked looking down at the table. I needed to be strong, she deserves better; she needs to be happy. I don't know if I can do that. I need to protect her.

"No, I'm not. It's just that maybe we're not meant to be together." I looked at her she was now crying.

"You don't mean that." She cried, her face was pinched up and her voice tight. No, I didn't mean it but she deserves so much better, I need to do this for her. I can't hurt her, she deserves a guy who will be around to hold her hand, and study with her, not someone who is off flying on a broom. I remained silent not trusting my voice to betray the hurt I was feeling on the inside.

"I don't want to break up; I just want to take a break. Maybe we should just cool it for awhile and see what happens." I whispered, I couldn't make my mouth tell her we need to break up.

"Oh so you just want to take the easy way out, you're just being scared. You're going to do it anyway." She half yelled angrily. I just kept looking down silently. "Well fine, why wait. Why not do it now." I still stayed quiet this is for the best. Rosmarie came over and sat a butterbeer down in front of Tessa. "Fine, I'll do it than. Callahan Ronald Brown, I never want to see you again." She yelled pulling her promise ring off of her finger slamming it down on the table. She stood up turning to leave. I could see Keisha, Lexy, Ana, Zoe, and Apolline waiting for her. Lexy and Zoe starting to rise up to defend her. Probably also to try to save our relationship. I looked around and saw an angry looking Vice sitting with Manda and baby Juliet. Tessa turned back around grabbing her glass of butter beer and flinging the contense of the glass in my face.

"I'm sorry Tessa." I whispered to no one in particular as she stormed away towards her friends. Lexy wrapped her up in a large hug sending me a sharp glare as the group of girls stormed out of the three broomsticks no doubt trying to console her by telling her what a heartless jerk I am. I picked up the sparkling diamond and looked at the inside of the band where CRB & CAB Forever was carved. I stood up gripping the ring in my hand walking out of the pub. I wouldn't cry, letting her go was for the best.

Contessa's POV

How could he do this to me? He was my first love my only love. I had stopped crying a few hours ago. Now I just feel numb. I don't understand how this could have happened; I don't understand why it happened. I had only ever wanted him and no one else. Now it feels like my whole world had come crashing down.

"Tessa it's going to be okay." Zoe whispered holding me close. I could see her black curls mixed in with my own honey blonde curls and her mocha skin next to my soft Carmel skin. "Tessa he doesn't deserve you." She tried to console me,

"Go away Zoe. I want to be alone right now." I whispered. Mom always told me that Zoe and I are a lot different than her and Aunt Bella. That we're two different sides of the same coin. I knew she was right, but not even having my sister who is also my best friend could possibly help me.

"I'm writing Mum." She whispered as she left the dorm room. I pulled my blankets up over my head laying there as I drifted off into an uneasy sleep.
