She watched him as he paced around the bathroom. He was in pain, emotional pain, his chest rising up and down rapidly. No one has ever seen him in such a state and yet here she was, watching him while he slowly comes undone. She didn't want it to be this way, but it had to be done and this was her way of helping him.

"You have to come to terms with the reality, Draco" she broke the tense silence, her voice just above a whisper.

Draco shook his head. He ran his fingers through his sweat dampened hair, messing it up more in the process.

"No, no, no, no. Don't. Don't. Don't say it"his voice cracked. He was in denial.

Emilia gave him a weak smile, tears threatening to fall from her eyes. This was the end, she knew it and he knew it too. Her face contorted into an agonizing one, mirroring his. Everything he was feeling, she felt it too and it killed her.

"I have to, Draco. Please. It's the only way you'll move on"

He stopped pacing around. His pain filled expression turning cold again. Draco glared at her, urging her not to say the words he refused to hear.

"I don't need to move on! So don't say it! Don't you fucking say it!" He shouted at her.
