It's the next day and I'm in the living room with Ginny just talking about our problems and stuff. It's now the second day at the Burrow and Molly won't be home for another three to four days. So, I'm stuck being in charge with these idiots of boys.

"So, how are you and Harry?" I ask Ginny

"We're great actually. He's sent me so many letters already" she says smiling

"How are you and my brother?" she asks, a small smirk appears on her face.

"Ron and I aren't dating Ginny" I tell her

She gets up fast from the couch and looks me dead in the eyes.

"What?! But you guys do all this lovey dovey stuff together and you still aren't dating? Unbelievable" she says

"Well I guess you could say we're friends with benefits sort of? I mean I still hate him a bit" I tell her

"You're screwing my brother?! Gross!" she says

"Oh hush Ginny! Now I have to start breakfast since Molly left me in charge" I get up from the couch and head towards the kitchen.

I start breakfast until I feel a pair of arms wrap around my waits. I know it's Ron because no one else would do that.

"What do you want Ron?" I say turning around. But, Ron wasn't there.

It was Fred.

"Oh, um hey Fred" I say, why the fuck is he touching me? I think to myself.

"Hey Y/n" he says smirking

There was a moment of awkward s silence till I hear someone coming down the stairs. I draw my attention to them and see it's. Ron. Fuck.

He stops in his tracks and see me in Fred's arms. His eyes went soft, almost as if I just broken his heart. Damn it.

"Ron wait!" I say getting out of Fred's grasp. He doesn't say anything and just goes back upstairs.

"Great job Fred you ruined the whole day!" I tell him

"Whatever Y/n. You only care about the people who make you worth something in life" he scoffs and walks away.

What the fuck was that all about? I look down at the living room and see Ginny. I give her a worried look.

"Go get him Y/n. I'll fix up breakfast" she says with a smile

"Okay, thank you!" I say and quickly head up the stairs.

I approach Ron's room and hover my fist over the door getting ready to knock. Maybe he doesn't want to be bothered. Maybe I screwed everything up. I get lost in my thoughts until the door swings open.

"What do you want Y/n?" he asks in a stern voice.

"I want to say that what happened down there wasn't meant to happen! Fred, he came up behind me and I thought it was you and then you came down stairs and-" before I could finish my statement he cuts me off.

"I don't wanna hear it Y/n. You've screwed up one too many times. First with Draco and now Fred. So what's gonna stop you from cheating if we actually get together" he says looking down at me

"We weren't even dating Ron! And what happened with Draco was a mistake, I don't even want to look at him anymore. And Fred, he came up to me! And I was so in shock I couldn't move. Please Ron" I tell him.

I hope he understands that I fucking love him. Even if our relationship or whatever this is, is "toxic" he's the only one who can make me forget about all my problems.

"God Y/n. I'm tired of the excuses. One day you say you love me and are in my bed, and then next it's like I don't even matter to you Y/n!" he yells the last part kind of loud.

"You are so full of shit Ron! I'm the one being used, not you! The only reason I even went to Draco is because you were being a dickhead! You use me and throw me out like i'm just a hooker off the street!" I say quiet loudly.

I was a bit taken back at my words because I never talked like that before.

He lets out a sigh before speaking, "Then I guess you are just a hooker off the street" he says and closes the door on my face. What the fuck?!

I groan and kick the door making a loud noise. Soon enough that door swings open and a large hand pulls me inside closing the door and pushing me up against it.

"Let me go Ron!" I yell

"No, because you don't accept the fact that you can't keep a stable relationship" he says looking me in the eyes

"Well obviously Ron! I've been through enough shit that I want to forget about but I can't!"

"That's your problem! You don't know when to let go of the past and be in the present!" he says.

"Please let me go Ron!" I beg.

"No!" he says.

His force of pushing against the wall grows more unbearable.

"Ron please, you're hurting me" I say in agony.

What did I do to deserve this? I think to myself.

"Don't you ever shut up Y/n?!" he says getting mad.

"I don't want to be with you anymore Ron! I fucking hate you!" I scream at the top of my lungs making my head go a bit fuzzy.

Before I knew it I felt a stinging sensation on my cheek. I slowly put my hand to it. It stings a bit but, it's mainly numb.

"Ron.." I breath out looking up at him.

"Get out!" is all he says before opening the door and pushing me out making me stumble and fall on the floor.

I just sit there in shock. He was never physically assaultive. The stinging brought back the memories of my father. I don't even want to think about him.

I slowly get up and make my way down the stairs trying to keep my balance.

"Oh hey love" Ginny says looking at me.

"Hey Ginny" I say forcing a small smile.

"Y/n, what happened?" she asks.

"Nothing" I say.

"Why is your cheek red?" fuck she's getting suspicious.

"I tripped and fell and my face smacked the floor" I say hoping it's a good enough lie.

"Hm, okay well breakfast is ready if you want to eat. If not then just drink some water okay love?" she says

"Yeah, thank you Ginny, for everything" I say

"Of course!" she says giving me a warm smile.

Soon enough we're all at the breakfast table. Everyone is here except for Ron. That's until I hear footsteps approaching us.

He looks pissed, his knuckles are bawled up into a fist as he makes his way to the table. I look around and notice the only empty seat is next to me. Fuck.

He makes his way to the table and sits down next to me. I try to ignore him and not think about what happened upstairs. I would've punched right then and there but, I didn't want his siblings to think poorly of me.

It was sort of awkward but we did pick up a few conversation so it wasn't too mad. But, there's something that's just bothering me.

Ron's eyes are glued onto me, not looking away.
