⬩GOOD-BYE⬩

"Y/n?" 

I opened my eyes to see Lorenzo at my door. His eyes shifted to my brothers who were passed out on either side of me. 

"I'll come back later," he said

"Okay," I yawned nodding 

He blew me a kiss before heading out. I laid back down looking up at the ceiling. Cedric is dead. He is gone. 

"Ugh Y/n get your hair out of my face!" groaned Mattheo tossing my hair from his to mine

"I got beautiful hair unlike you," I taunted shaking my hair in his face. 

He pushed me away into Tom who groaned,"For fucks sake," he pushed me off. 

I laid between them laughing. Mattheo joined me in laughing. Tom pulled a pillow from behind his head and slammed it into us. We laid on my bed laughing looking at the ceiling. I felt paws stepping on me. Midnight laid on my chest cuddling her face into my neck. I petted her feeling comfort. 

I closed my eyes remembering memories of Cedric and I. I smiled at the memories as I remember what he said yesterday,"If I die please live your life. Don't be sad about me," repeated in my head hearing Cedrics voice

"If I die please live your life. Don't be sad about me," I whispered to myself,"I will live my life for you Ced. I promise,"  

Soon we got up from my bed. I took a nice hot shower before getting dressed into sweats and a crop-top. I placed my hair into a messy bun as my door opened. I turned to see Lorenzo closing the door,"Hi handsome," I smiled 

"Hi amour," he pulled a chair sitting beside me,"How are you?" 

"I'm doing okay," I nodded turning to my mirror. 

"How are you really?" he turned my head to face him

"I'm in shock," I looked at him,"I know you don't want to hear about me crying over my first boyfriend when we are together so I am sucking it up," I looked down

He grabbed my chin making me look at him,"Amour. Like you said yesterday. He was your friend before you two dated. You deserve to cry, weep, scream, yell. You deserve to mourn," 

I felt tears in my eyes as I pictured Cedrics body laying on the grass as his eyes laid open. Lorenzo held me close to him as I cried. He kissed my head. 

Tears streamed down my cheeks, each one a silent testament to the boy I once knew. Cedric's laughter;a sound once as familiar as my own heartbeat. My father had killed him. 

Lorenzo's arms were wrapped around me tightly. His hands ran through my hair comforting me as I cried into his shoulder. His warmth seeped into my bones. The soft murmur of his voice  soothed me. 

"Let it out, amour," he whispered as his French accent, his breath brushing over my ear, sending shivers down my spine that had nothing to do with the cold; I felt in my heart. "He was important to you,"

But how could I explain the tangled knot of emotions that I felt about Cedric? He was my first boyfriend, and my first heartbreak.

"Six months," I choked out between sobs, each word heavy with loss. "We dated for six months before...before he cheated." I sobbed "But before all that...he was my friend. My best friend from when I was eleven until thirteen."

Lorenzo's hold tightened to me as he moved me onto his lap. His silence was comforting, allowing the space for my memories to unfold.

"Shh, it's okay," he murmured, his hand stroking my hair as I breathed for air "I'm here with you. For as long as you need."
