One day after another

Goodnight.

The day was long and painful, I went home and my mother had no desire to see me. She rushed me while I was getting my things and rushed me to leave. I tried asking about her job but she just seemed irritated, said something about it not going perfectly.

I sat in Ginnys room while everyone else was down in the living room. I was trying to avoid Fred but it was paining me horribly, he's taken notice and stopped trying to talk to me. George has also been noticing so he's been trying to distract Fred all day by either playing quidditch or even planning stuff for their shop.

Harry had given them money after winning the tournament. I was happy for them, they're doing what they love and I wouldn't want anything different for them. Dinner was almost ready and I finally finished putting my things away in drawers.

A knock on the door was heard in the background along with the door creaking open. My uncle and father walked in closing the door immediately behind them sitting down on my bed looking at me.

"Claire sit down we need to talk." My father said

My stomach dropped from how serious he was sounding, I sat down on Ginnys bed in front of them looking at their posture. Both of them were serious as they looked at me.

"What happened between you and George last night? You haven't talked to Fred all day, you've been avoiding him and he's clearly not taking it well. What's going on Claire? Talk to us." Sirius says

His voice was filled with concern, I couldn't necessarily tell them I wanted to leave Fred since our whole relationship was sex. I needed to figure something out to tell them and quick.

This was the last thing I wanted to talk about. Nothing happened between George and I so I should start off with that.

"Uncle Sirius nothing happened between George and I so that's not why I'm avoiding Fred. Being at the house was rough, mom wouldn't pay any sort of attention to me let alone ask how I was. She rushed me the whole time." I say looking between both of them.

They nodded their heads as they listened to what I had to say. My stomach hurt from guilt, I was hurting Fred but that was the last thing I wanted to do.

I've said it may times and I'll say it again, I care about him a lot and I really don't want to hurt him. He cared deep down but he's overcome with lust. It can happen sometimes but it could be partially my fault. I gave him what he wanted every time he wanted it.

"So what's going on between you and Fred?" My father asked.

That's when I felt myself break, I haven't had to say it aloud and that's how I kept denying everything. Saying everything aloud made it real, this wasn't happening in my head any longer. Fred and I fell apart and now it was time that it was over.

"I think...I think just maybe that what Fred and I have is over. Not that I want it to be over but it's for the better, We took something small and made it big. We turned and inch into a mile without realizing it and we shouldn't have" I mumble

My eyes stung from trying to hold everything in, this hurt. A lot.

"Well then" Sirius mumbled

"Everything will be okay in the end I promise. I know this will hurt and it will feel like the world is against you but just know that it is okay. Talk to him, I'm sure he'll understand. After dinner everyone's going to bed we have to be up early tomorrow we have a surprise for everyone. Besides the point take him outside and talk to him, the worst that can happen it you two break up." My father says sympathetically.

He leaned forward with his elbows resting against his knees and his hand connected together. Sirius stood up fixing his pants as he headed towards the door signaling for us to come with him.
