Just Breathe

Chapter 5

"Feeling okay?" Fred whispered sitting next to me and holding my hand. I looked at him confused. "Remus told me so I could keep and eye on you." He said making it sound obvious. I nodded.
"Fred, what if Harry doesn't want to be with me again. I've seen the way he looks at Ginny. What if I'm not good enough and he prefers her instead of me?" I asked looking into his eyes.
"Okay first of all you are more than good enough, and second he isn't interested in her. He is in love with you Riley."
"Are you saying that for me or because you don't want anyone dating Ginny." I said grinning.
"You, but of course the Ginny thing is true." I laughed.
"Alright if you two start dating don't make me have to wait three months until you come back for holidays, start now or forever hold your peace." George said walking over to us. I went a deep shade of red and so did Fred. "Oh, I see, little Freddy has gone as red as his hair, you two should date." He said smirking. I gave him a death glare which just made him laugh. I smiled.
"George, you know the reason I'm here yet you still talk about dating another guy? Your mad." I said laughing.
"Well you see here Ms. Lupin, technically I am, but also I'm not," I looked at him weirdly. Was he being serious right now? "By dating another person, it would help you to get your mind off of Harry and move on faster." He said walking around and acting all professional.
"Okay?" I said awkwardly "well I'm going to sleep." I say. "I just have to grab my bags from downstairs. Everyone should be done by now." I said standing up and walking over to the door.
"Hey, I'll come with you." Fred said walking towards me. I smiled and saw George smirking out of the corner of my eye. I secretly took my wand out and muttered a spell under my breath. I heard George groan and smiled in satisfaction. I walked down the stairs quietly with Fred.
"Is it bloody dark enough down here for them?!" Fred whispered. I giggle and almost tripped on the stairs. Fred grabbed me and I felt his breath on my face. "You good?" He asked me. I nodded. We continued walking but I still held his hand. Finally we reached the bottom and went into the living room.
"I can't see anything!" I said quietly laughing. Fred came over to me. I found my bag and bumped into a table. "Ow!" I whispered hugging my knee. Fred chuckled and came over to me.
"What did ya do?" He said grinning. I laughed.
"Its a stupid table." I mumbled. Fred reached over for my bag and took it. He held it in front of me and I took it. I put it on my shoulder and we started walking back. We were in the kitchen when Fred ran into a table and I bumped into him. He turned around and our faces were centimetres apart. Slowly Fred leaned in and I felt his lips touch mine. He deepened the kiss and I kissed back. Suddenly someone turned on the lights.
"Seriously!" They said loudly but not so loud it would wake someone up. I pulled apart and turned my head. Oh shoot.
"Harry please I-"
"no! Riley I was upset when we broke up. And now you just move on in two days!" He said throwing his hands in the air. I felt the tears spring into my eyes.
"Harry I can explain." I whispered, the tears threatening to fall.
"Explain what? That you'd rather have Fred than me? I don't need you to." He said storming up the stairs.
"Harry please!" I called after him but he ignored me. I stood there motionless.
"Riley, I'm so sorry." Fred whispered. I felt the colour drain from my face. "Riley..." Fred said starting to sound worried.
"I want to go home." I whispered, still staring at where Harry had left.
"Riley, it'll be fine-"
"No Fred! I want to go home!" I said looking at him.
"Okay, send a letter to Remus, he can come get you as soon as he gets it." He whispered to me. I nodded. "Cmon, let's go back upstairs." He walked me upstairs and I set up a bed. George didn't say a word about anything when he had seen I was crying, he just made sure I was okay. I wrote a quick letter to uncle Remus and sent it. I laid down in my bed until I fell asleep but wish I hadn't.

"Your worthless. Why would anyone want you. Your just a regular girl who is uglier than ever. Why would anyone want to be with someone like you? They can do so much better." A voice whispered. I was standing in a dark room and couldn't move. Harry appeared in front of me. "I'm happy we broke up. Makes me able to date the people I actually want to. Not a pathetic loser like you. It's a good thing your leaving. That way I don't have to deal with you. Your worthless."

I sat up quickly in my bed on the floor. Fred and George weren't in there. They probably left for the shop. I stood up and got dressed. I was wearing light wash skinny jeans, and a cream t-shirt. I had on a wrap that was grey with a hint of pink. I brushed my blonde hair out so that it was neat and down. I took a small piece from the front and braided it before clipping it back with a small grey flower. Once I was done I sat on George's bed. What had I done. Harry hates me now. I know it. I took a deep breath.
"Hello Molly. I got Riley's letter. Is she okay?" I heard Remus.
"She hasn't come out of the room yet. It's almost lunch Remus. I'm worried." I heard Molly say. Wow I really slept in. I took out my laptop and started watching a show to hide what happened. Remus slowly opened the door.
"Your awake. That's good." He said closing the door and sitting on the bed. "Do you want to tell me what happened last night." He said. I looked at him.
"Nothing happened." I said going back to my tv show.
"Riley, you wouldn't of sent that letter. What happened?" I shut my laptop and sat up straight.
"Harry hates me" I said bluntly.
"Riley he doesn't-"
"yes he does! Last night he saw Fred kissing me and now he hates me."
"Wait, you kissed Fred?"
"He kissed me! I didn't feel anything but now Harry's mad at me!" I said. I wasn't going to cry. I. will. Not. Cry.
"Riley it's going o be okay. I promise." Remus whispered to me. I shook my head.
"It's not. I want to go to L.A. early. I want to go tomorrow." I said wiping my eyes.
"Riley, are you sure that's necessary?" Remus asked me. I nodded.
"It is. I want to leave tomorrow."
"Okay. Cmon, let's go home and pack. I'll just tell Molly." Remus said standing up and walking down the stairs. I put everything back in my bag and stood waiting. Once Remus was back we disapparated to the house. I packed everything I had left and took out my notebook. I was writing down my ideas for the dances.
"Riley! Dinner!" Remus called from the kitchen. I put my book away and went into the kitchen. I ate quietly before going to sleep.
The next morning I woke up early so I had enough time to double check I had everything.
"Are you sure you don't need me to stay with you?" Remus asked, taking my bags.
"I'm sure. Witney and I have an apartment." I said smiling. We apparated to the apartment and Witney came shortly after. "Hey!" I said walking over to her and hugging her.
"Alright. I'm gonna go now Riley. If you need anything you know what to do. Oh, and I got you this." He said taking out a yellow iPhone 5c.
"Oh my god Remus! Thanks so much!" I said hugging him.
"It's all set up and your phone number is the same as your pretend one from when you were three." I laughed.
"Thank you Remus. Bye." I hugged him before he disapparated. Witney and I hung out a lot for the next two weeks and made up our own small dances. The first show was the day before hogwarts started so Hermione promised she would watch it. Since she had a laptop she was bringing it to the burrow, it was easy for her to show everyone else as well.

Finally it was the day before the show. We were practicing our group dance. Mark and I really got along. We were already good friends. Once we were done practicing Witney, Mark, Alfonso, Zac, Sadie and I went out for dinner. It was Los of fun.
