PAIN

Hi everyone. This is a small chapter. I haven't managed to start the next chapter so I will give you kinda sneak peek from another characters pov.
If you don't recognise the characters, go to the start of the 'New Beginnings' chapter.

FLASHBACK
DAMON

She was so beautiful. Beauxbatons always had the prettiest students. I looked into her deep dark eyes, and they glistened in the sunlight. Her hair felt so light when I would run my hand down from her head to her back.

She sat there in the library, studying. As always.

I started to walk up to her. But Ana stopped in my tracks.

"Hi, Damon," She smiled gleefully.

"Hi. I'm kinda busy right now," I said, peering by the side of her shoulder to see Jennifer.

"You know, you can study in my room. It's a bit...crowded..in here," she said smiling.

"Maybe later."

I dodged past her. Luckily.

"Jennifer," I sighed. She looked up at me.

"Damon. I don't want to deal with you right now," She groaned.

"What about later?" I smirked, taking a seat.

She chuckled then hid her expression.

"Later... is that after you say you didn't have a girlfriend again?" She mocked.

"Look," I said, taking my hand up to her cheek. She slightly hesitated with anger.

"I didn't tell anyone because I thought you were uncomfortable about me bringing it up. You know, considering what happened with your last boyfriend," I muttered, looking down.

She nodded, putting her fatigued head in her hands.

"I know. It's just hard," She sighed.

I looked at all of her books piled high and sheets of paper surrounded her.

"Come on, it's getting on. I would have an early night," I said.

"Damon, look-"

"Come on, you need the sleep," I smiled, placing a hand on her back.

"Damon-"

"You need sleep," I reassured.

"Damon," She said loudly, causing him to look at me in confusion.

"I'm moving. To Hogwarts." She said quickly.

I took my hand off her back.

"No."

"What do you mean no? I leave next week."

"Tell me anything other than that. Please."

I looked deep into her eyes. I knew this was happening, she was distant and I overheard her.

I couldn't cry. Not in front of her.

I hugged her close to me. I tried to get a whole lifetime out of that hug.

She rested her hand on my shoulder.

I pulled back, getting up.

"I'm going to miss you."

Before she could answer, I left. The only girl that I loved, is leaving me.

PRESENT (DAMON)

It was about three weeks. I couldn't stop thinking about her. I missed her so much. She was in my mind every time I sat down, got up, worked, everything.

I didn't want to continue without her. But I have to.
I have to.

I got dressed and looked at my reflection.

I noticed the deep, dark look in my eyes.

Only if she were here.
