The Prince's Love

Chapter 16: Sorry

Story Note(s):

The song at the top does come into play in this chapter, it's not just there because it matches the title. Just press play when I tell you to, or you can read it without the music, it's completely your choice!

Also, the rights to the song "Sorry" go completely to Justin Bieber, not me! I do not own it, I did not write it! And I am not trying to take credit for it!

Anyway, that's enough from me, here's chapter 16, I hope you like it!

Melissa's POV

The moment I had shut the door behind me, I ran, tears falling heavily from my eyes. I eventually found an empty classroom, and barely had time to close the door before I sank to the floor, sobs wracking through my body.

My heart felt like it was torn out of my chest. I didn't want everything to end between us, he was the love of my life, I never wanted to lose him. But I knew I couldn't keep up our relationship if he was going to keep secrets and keep going from barely speaking to me to loving me.

I hated this, I hated myself for leaving him. I knew that I was doing the right thing, I shouldn't be with someone who isn't honest with me, but I still regretted it.

I recognized that he was a closed-off person, that it was hard for him to express all he's thinking. But I thought he had gotten past that, at least when he was with me. It felt like he had just restarted, and we were back at stage one.

He was distant and only with me half the time this past week, and even though he said he still loved me, it was harder to believe when he seemed to be drifting away. I couldn't keep doing this with him, I loved him so much, but there's only so much I can take right now.

I sat there against the wall, arms wrapped around myself as I cried, for what felt like hours. I heard the door open and quickly looked up, trying to dry my eyes, even though it was clearly hopeless.

Hermione walked in with a big smile on her face, nearly skipping, in a really good mood. However, that faded when she saw my face. She immediately sat down next to me and pulled me into a hug.

My resistance crumbled, and I burst into tears again, sobbing into her shoulder. She rubbed my back and pulled me closer. Why was my life such a disaster?

Time Skip: A Week Later

A week has passed, but I haven't felt any better. I felt empty without Severus. I cried nearly all of the time I wasn't in classes. I didn't even attend Severus' class, I couldn't bear it, but he never did anything about it.

I found out the day after why Hermione had been so happy that night, Draco had kissed her. They were finally in a relationship together and were really happy together. I tried to be happy for them, and I was, but it was hard to put a smile on my face when my relationship had failed.

I haven't told them what happened between Severus and I. They knew we broke up, and that was all they needed to know. They didn't push me for answers, knowing that I needed time. Though time didn't seem to help.

I cried whenever I felt my small baby bump because it made me think of Severus. I was so happy to have kids with him, and now I'd be having our kids alone. It was so much harder dealing with my pregnancy symptoms when he wasn't there. He always knew just what to say and do to make me feel better.

My grades had started dropping greatly, and I could tell the professors were worried, but I didn't care about school anymore. I barely cared about anything. I felt like I had gotten the Dementor's kiss. My life with Severus was gone, and my soul was gone with him.
