angst, with a capital letter A :')

this story was inspired by Lana Del Rey's song, Dark Paradise. I suggest you to listen to the song while reading this!
I also put the lyrics in the story just to separate the timeline (You don't have to read the lyrics though because they are not related to each paragraph)

I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I do while writing it! 🖤

It felt as if your world was crashing down like a paper plane when the news struck you. Your heart stopped and you hoped you would die but you did not. You were very much alive, but your heart died with the one you loved.

"Y/N, it's all gonna be alright..."

Minerva's voice shook you from your train or thoughts. You looked at her and fell on your knees, breaking down into tears. You had been holding them for too long. You did not want to believe that he was gone.

He promised you that he would be fine. He swore to you that he would come home to you. Everything would go back to normal and you could live your perfect life with him, very much in love with each other.

"No, Severus can't leave me..."

You sobbed, unable to contain your agony. Minerva wrapped her arms around you comfortingly. You did not mind as others saw your pain and tears. The broken building of Hogwarts was none of your concern anymore. Your heart was troubled.

You lost your husband.

-
All my friends tell me I should move on
I'm lying in the ocean, singing your song
Ah, that's how you sing it
Loving you forever, can't be wrong
Even though you're not here, won't move on
Ah, that's how we play it

You could see Harry from the corner of your eyes. He was looking at you, his eyes were glistened with tears. You tried to stop your crying but you could not. The pain was growing in your chest, swallowing the fact that Severus Snape, the love of your life has died.

Love of your life...

You always doubted whether you were the first one in his heart. Years ago, when you started to fall in love with the Potions Master, you were scared.

You were scared that you would be a second choice to him, knowing that he had his love before you. You were just a naive young professor. Why would he love you?

Afraid of rejection, you distanced yourself from him, unaware that it was hurting him as well. Severus finally had enough and he revealed his true feelings for you.

"I love you, Y/N and I want you to trust me."

You could still remember how he whispered those words sweetly into your ears. You could still remember how he summoned his Patronus, announcing his undying love for you.

"Your Patronus, Severus... It has changed."

-
And there's no remedy for memory your face
Is like a melody, it won't leave my head
Your soul is hunting me and telling me
That everything is fine
But I wish I was dead

You breathed in awe as his Patronus came in front of you. You knew very well of his Patronus, but now when he was confessing his love for you, his Patronus had changed.

"I love you. Only you, Y/N."

He came closer, and you smiled. His Patronus had changed. It was not a doe anymore. It was the same as your Patronus, symbolizing his strong love for you.
