Dear John... (Open)

Amber was sitting in the morning sun that Saturday morning, with a thick book in her lap and the cool grass against her legs. For once, it felt like an ordinary day, and she couldn’t help but be thankful. What surprised her, though, was the clarity that seemed to come over her without warning. It was strange, how suddenly she was able to see exactly what she wanted. Though it pained her, she took out two pieces of parchment from her back, along with a self-inking quill, and began to write who letters.

Dearest Alex,

I have thought about everything that I’ve needed to and though it breaks my heart, I cannot be with you. I love you, and I think that a part of me always will, and I adore your children, but we are not working. Please, do not think that I am leaving you for Teddy. I am leaving you because I do not want to be involved in the werewolf drama anymore. The other, personal drama is another reason, but I will not get into that now.

I hope that your life is good, and happy.

Will all of my love,
Amber

She then slipped that parchment underneath the clean sheet and wrote another letter.

Dear Teddy,

I really enjoyed our date, and the time that we have spent together. Please don’t ever think otherwise. But, I cannot be around werewolves right now.. or perhaps ever. I am sorry for not telling you this sooner, but infact I didn’t even know myself until now.

Please take care of yourself, and remain happy, because one day you will find somebody who is worthy of your love.

Amber

With a call to her owl, the letters were sent and Amber felt lighter almost at once. She leaned back against a nearby tree and a small smile rested on her lips. Yes, writing what she had had hurt her, but now she was free to explore her own life, and perhaps find love some day with somebody simple.. or not so much. But right now, all she wanted was simple, and finally she was able to have it.

Teddy was in bed when he recieved Ambers letter. He growled and his eyes turned gold. Did she not understand what it meant for him to not be near her. He ran to the Slytherin common room and argued with the painting until it let her in. He stood at the bottom of the stairs and screamed Ambers name

Caylin Black was quickly getting tired of hearing her old friend screaming on about one of the girls in her house and so she stood from her position on one of the plush lounges and walked over. “She’s not here, Teddy,” she said with a raised eyebrow, “last I saw of her, she was heading outside with a book. You might find her sitting under that massive oak tree in the grass by the lake.” Placing her hand on his shoulder, she offered him a small smile before returning to her seat.

Tedy growled and crushed the piece of parchment with Ambers oh so hurtful words on it in his fist, "How could she do this to me? She knows what it means if I am away from her." He felt so weak already. Like he could hardly stand. He leaned against Caylin because he felt to weak to stand

Caylin's brow furrowed and she placed an arm around her childhood friend, and fellow Marauders child. "It's going to be alright, Teddy," she tried to soothe, but without know exactly what was going on, she knew that she couldn't be sure. "What is happening to you?" the brunette asked with a concerned frown, bringing her hand up to smooth back his hair.

Teddy closed his eyes and leaned his head against her, "Hard being away from my mate." Caylinknew about his werewolf nature, she just didnt know he had mated on Amber. "If Im away from Amber too long I get weak and will eventually die from it."
