Chapter Eleven: Thanksgiving Day

Cassie's POV

I continued to watch him as he paced back and forth in front of me. I already knew what was coming, and now I was just waiting for the words to leave his mouth. He had to know what I felt, I practically was begging for him not to leave me, but yet he never said he felt the same way. Now, I was spaced out on the floor, waiting for him to tell me he didnt feel the same, and that we could no longer spend the days together. Cause I mean thats why we were standing here in silence while he paced in front of me. Any sane person would have said something by now, but Severus and I were far from sane. 

I finally pulled myself together, looking up at the black cloaked man as he finally stopped mid pace. My stomach dropped instantly but he wasnt saying anything. He didnt look my way, he didnt say one word, but I had it at this point, it didnt matter, I was ready for whatever he was going to tell me.

Still, I didnt understand why? He never listened to anyone, let alone Remus. Nothing made sense, and I was going to find out why. Yet, I knew that unless he told me, I was doomed. Maybe this was his payback. Instead of getting revenge on Sirius, he was getting revenge through me. He made me feel these emotions because he wanted Sirius to pay for it all. God, I sounded stupid.

I was tired of this. I was tired of watching him stand there frozen as if that was going to solve it all. I just needed him to tell me it was over, so that it would give me more of a reason to leave. I was going to get it one way or another. No matter the state it was going to leave me in, this was all going to end soon. 

"I don't like that you are just standing there not saying anything. Something. I just need you to say something," I said, watching as his hands dropped to his side.

"You ask something of me that is simply impossible," he said softly.

I lightly chuckled to myself, pushing my body off the chair, taking slow steps towards him, trying to watch his reaction. Instead, I watched as he clenched his fist each time I got closer to him, not wanting to be anywhere close to me or that is what it seemed.

"If you want me to leave then just say that. Dont blame, Remus. Stop giving me excuses, just give me an actual reason. One that isnt bullshit and forged,"

"What would you like from me, Ms. Black? Would you like me to tell you how I am struggling when you are not beside me? How I think of you when I close my eyes, and when I open them?" his voiced raised, now for the first time looking at me.

"I just want the truth,"

He opened his mouth just to close it, and I can only assume it was because he was about to tell a lie. I just needed this to end. I was at my end, I was tired of waiting for him to tell me how he felt, and I refused to wait for someone who was still holding on to a women who never cared for him.

"Do you hold any sort of feelings for me?"

He looked at me and stood like a statue, still and silent. I lightly sighed before pushing past him to leave the living area.

"You can leave," I said at once.

I walked to my bedroom door, opening the door wanting nothing more than to lay my head down and sleep. His hand came to view shutting my door once again. I turned around once more, feeling his hands cup my face like he had done moments ago. He bent towards me and for just a moment, I expected his lips to touch mine, but they didnt. He stopped inches away to were I could only feel his hot breath on me, his onyx eyes looking into mine, and for these few moments I didnt care that he said nothing.
