my yellow - fred weasley

36. The truth ~

Y/n's pov:
"Ooo that one looks really nice" Hermione says

We decided to head out for a bit with just the two of us as it got a bit boring at home

We're at Diagon Alley and as much as I didn't want to go, I didn't want to make this day all about me

We're in a clothing shop skimming through the racks when Hermione comes to my side, pulling out a sweater to examine

"Y/n don't freak out but Fred, George and Lee have just entered the store" she says still pretending to act normal

I tense up, not wanting to talk to him as I try to make my way to the front door without being seen by any of them

I walk in front of Hermione just about to get to the door when I freeze

"Y/n?! What are you doing here?" George says catching the attention of practically everyone

I slowly turn around to see the trio not far from me

I smile slightly at George as he approaches me

He pulls me into a hug as I give Hermione a 'help me' look

She smiles sheepishly as George pulls away

We talk for a bit before George brings it up

"Y/n please hear Fred out" he says confusing me

"What?" I say not hearing him properly

He takes a breath before "We went through the stores tapes and was able to find the moment it went down, moral of the story, Fred feels terrible like when I tell you he sulked for the whole day, I mean the whole dayyy"

"George I want to hear him out but he really hurt me, it's not that easy for me to switch my brain gears and forgive him" I say rubbing my head

"I know, I don't expect you to but he was so caught up in the moment he was even thinking properly. I mean you know how he gets whenever stuff like that happens" he says

"Yeah I understand" I respond back as I take a look at the other twin

He stands talking with Lee when he feels my gaze. My mind goes blank as I see the eye bags under his eyes which aren't so visible but clear enough for me to see

The eyes that I always loved looking at stare back into mine as a pleading look shines through them

I sigh before looking back at George

"In 5 minutes or so, bring him to the 3 broomsticks, I'll talk to him then" Is all I say as Hermione and I walk out

I let a deep breath out I didn't know I was keeping in as Hermione reassured me everything will be okay

I hope so too

Fred's pov:
Since the day I saw the tapes, I've been trying all I can to get y/n to talk to me or at least hear me out but it's no use

Flashback:
George flicks through the tapes, going back to the day it all happened as we find the right moment

We watch as y/n stacks the shelves before the guy walks up behind her

Discomfort is clearly masked on her face as she speed-walks off looking for someone

Most likely George or Me

He pulls her closer to him, talking to her as she tries to get her wrist out of his grasp
