Broken Glass

Hey Readers! :) So…. After writing a few stories… and not continuing with them… I feel like a failure to everyone on FanFiction… SO…. I am promising to keep going with this story… No matter what! But I will need your help!

I will have a play list of songs that I will listen to for this story and choose one of those songs for each chapter. So you can play guess the song if you want! :)

You will be able to help by reviewing with ideas and tips to help me really shape this story.

I'm hoping to get around 35 chapters including Epilogue :) *Fingers Crossed Really Really Tight!*

On my other Harry Potter FanFic, this is one of the helpful comments that I need to be able to follow in this story:

Maximum Baudelaire2011-05-15 . chapter 1

I like it, I really do, but maybe try to put a bit of yourself into the story? Writing always turns out better when the author can relate to some point or other; it's so much more realistic.

Yep, I'm going to put myself fin this fanfic a lot more :)

And just a warning…. Because this is going to have a bit more of me in it, it isn't going to be a romantic story, It will be more of a tragedy … Yeah it will be romantic, but not for a while. So please enjoy it!

Oh and J.K Rowling owns Harry Potter, I own nothing, except maybe my new characters, anyway, she is honestly the greatest and luckiest person alive! She is so lucky to have such a great imagination!

Prologue:

Death is something many people fear, others accept and embrace it. Me, I had always feared it. Until now. Now I am ready to embrace it, my presence wouldn't be missed anyway. I always wanted to grow old with an amazing husband and many beautiful kids, but I never wanted to die. You might've called me greedy and selfish, I understand. But maybe, just maybe, you might like to hear me out? Listen to my story of how I've gotten to this point of not caring? How I got to this point, standing on the edge of the astronomy tower, preparing to jump? Well, I'll tell it to you.

Chapter 1: Rose's POV:

{Looking' so innocent

I might believe you if I didn't know.

Could've loved you all my life

If you hadn't left me waiting in the cold

And you got your share of secrets

And I'm tired of being last to know

And now you're asking me to listen

Coz its worked each time before}

I sat next to my bedroom window, not even bothering to admire the wonderful view, - I'd seen it a million times and right now it wasn't wonderful to me anyway - when my phone rang loudly, scaring me quite a lot. I was afraid to answer it, afraid of who would be on the other end but I still manage to pull up the courage to answer it.

"Who is it?" I answered bluntly, I was in no mood to be sweet to anyone in this world.

"It's Tyler, Rose look, please hear me out. Jake, he was the one who got me drunk! I thought a few drinks would be fine. But I guess…" Tyler paused, and I was fighting back tears furiously.

"… I guess it's still my fault because I still went up to her. You don't know how sorry I am Rose! Merlin Rose, you know I could only love you! Just you, forever! Give me another chance!" he begged, but there was no way I was giving into his pleads again.

"That's right, you went up to her. You took her to your place. You slept with her! For fuck's sakes Tyler, she's only 15! You're 17! I don't believe you this time," the lump in my throat was restraining me from shouting at him, but I thought my point had finally come across for once.

"Baby, come on. You know this is all a misunderstanding! How about we both sleep on it and forget about it in the morning? I tried giving you my apology and if you don't want to accept it, that's fine. Just don't come crying to me when you screw up and want me to accept your apology. I'll see you tomorrow when you think this through," his voice was demanding and cruel, it felt like razor blades against my already-broken heart. Except, unlike last time Tyler had hurt me, this time I didn't care.

"You got everything wrong in those bullshit words because one, I haven't misunderstood anything. Two, I can't sleep on it because I can't even try to sleep right now! Three, the amount of times you've apologised to me this past year has been way too many so I won't accept this one. And four, you won't be seeing me tomorrow because you won't be seeing me again."

And with that I disconnected his call and deleted his phone number from my mobile. I took a deep breath in and search my contacts for the person I needed most, the one person who I tell anything, who understood me best, my best friend, Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy.I hit the dial button and held the phone to my ear. Every ring felt like a lifetime, and I was almost going to hang it up.

"Rose? I just heard what happened! Are you okay?" he asked, sounding genuinely worried.

The sound of his comforting voice made me nearly break down, but I stayed strong.

"Scorp, he… he…" I stuttered, lost for what to say. He understood I couldn't speak right at that moment.

"I'll be over there soon okay?" and with that he hung again I took a deep breath in and focused on the situation.

I could see it coming though, how couldn't I? He was always "busy with the guys" on weekends, even though the guys would say he wasn't with them. The amount of times he said he was sorry, the amount of times he hurt me, I don't know why I had stayed with him for so long. Maybe because I had tried too hard to persist with the relationship when it was going nowhere. It takes two to keep a relationship going but I was the only one shovelling coal into the train to nowhere.

There was a soft knock at my door and I was ready for Scorpius' face to appear when instead my fathers head popped around the door. He looked rather worn out and I realised he must've had a big day at work.

"Rose baby, are you okay? I heard you kind of shouting almost. Everything alright?" he asked, studying my features closely. Aurors are good at that.

"I'm fine Dad, thanks for asking. Becky called to tell me that she bought a new broomstick, and I got a bit excited, that's all," I said sweetly, fortunately for me, I was good at lying. I know I shouldn't lie to my Dad, but I couldn't tell him the whole story of Tyler being a total dick so lying was the best option.

"Okay sweetie, just keep it down next time alright?" he smiled, it was an odd smile, not happy, not mischievous, maybe it was just a look of I'm-confused-but-I'll-just-smile-and-pretend-it's-all-good-smile.

"Okay Dad, night,"

"Goodnight Posie," he said before closing the door. I rolled my eyes at the old nickname. I've had it for as long as I can remember. Dear little "Rosie Posie" was my name to all our family and friends. I didn't mind it, as long as none of my friends (except Al of course) new about it. Ever.

The thought of my friends made me feel better, so I kept thinking of going back to school to see them. Will they have changed over the holidays? I wasn't sure, it was hard to tell by their writing.

I slowly drifted off to sleep, forgetting everything that had been happening.

There was a tap of my window and I jumped in fright, hitting my head badly on the wall.

"Fuck!" I cursed loudly, I prayed my parents didn't hear me.

I looked at the clock, it confirmed I had fallen asleep for just under two hours. Wow, Scorp had taken a long time to get here. He must've walked.

"Language Weasley," he laughed, causing me to smile instantly.

I turned to look at him as he climbed through my window. His almost white hair was spiked in random directions, reminding me of a porcupine I had seen at a muggle zoo Mum took us to once when we were younger. He had filled out a bit over the break, as I saw his muscles literally bludging out of his t-shirt. His pastel blue eyes were striking in the dim light of my bed lamp and he had a look of concern on his was honestly my best friend. No one could separate us, not even our parents. They'd tried before, and never won. Now they accept our friendship and I think his Mum, Astoria, kind of likes me. He was always there for me and always knew what to say to make me feel better. We would help each other with homework, family dramas, even relationships. Scorp had even made a pair of "Best Friends" bracelets for us to wear in second grade, which we both still kept hidden on our arms under or clothes but that was mainly for Scorpius' benefit.

He walked over to me and hugged me tightly, I held on for ages, not wanting to let go. Scorp was like my asylum from the real world, he was the peace through the war, what I never wanted to lose.

"Ok, I know it's going to be hard Rosie, but please, start from the beginning and give me a reason to not kill the bastard," he said, his jaw was clenched tightly at his last words.

I began to search for where to start off, but it was impossible. I finally had someone to talk to and I couldn't begin. Instead, my shoulders gave way and began rising and falling as the loud, uncontrollable sobs wracked through my body."Scorp, I… He… Uh," I stuttered through sobs, trying to stop the tears from flowing.

"Shh, it's okay Rosie. I think I know everything already…" he began comforting me, hugging me tighter. We then sat on the floor, and he sat me on his lap. I felt like a little child but I couldn't care less then, as long as he was with me.

"You… You do?" I asked, I was hiccuping quietly in between each breath.

"Yeah, I know that Tyler Thomas is a total asshole, you deserve better than that Rosie. Much better," he insisted, and I couldn't help but laugh loudly -and might I add- rather obnoxiously.

"I think so too Scorp," I whispered as I shut my eyes lightly to picture a world of happiness, a world I longed to find.

"Rosie, Rose, wake up gorgeous," a soft voice spoke, the person nudged me slowly, trying to wake me up. I groaned rather loudly and un-lady-like.

"Go away," I mumbled and I reluctantly open my eyes to see Scorp. His framed shook from underneath me as he laughed furiously, probably at my manly groan.

I looked at the time and realised it was 10:30pm and I'd been asleep for quite some time, again. I sat up rather fast and the blood rushed to my head. Scorpius stood up and caught me and sat me on the bed. I was ready to fall asleep right then."I'll see you at the station tomorrow okay? Mum misses you anyway, so good luck avoiding her," he laughed.

"Okay, night Scorp. Love you," I said, I was too tired to make him stay longer.

A strange look had come across his face at my last words, I couldn't figure it out. I didn't even know if it was a good look or a bad.

"I love you to Rosie, goodnight," he whispered as he climbed out my window again and disappeared into the night.

For the one hundredth time that night, I took a deep breath in and drifted off to sleep.

Tomorrow would be an awkward, dreadful yet totally exciting day.

So yep, there we are. The first chapter!

Please Please Please Review and Follow this story, you won't be disappointed! I promise!

Now I'm sure you can see the chemistry between Rose and Scorp, but because I've put myself in this story, be prepared for many twists and turns before that mushy lovey stuff - if there is any - to come into the frame.

I love any of you readers, your reviews will keep me writing more frequently I swear!
