Y/N POV
The twins were busy at work. Me and Angelina were just relaxing at the flat.

"Okay so when are we going to go dress shopping?" Angelina asked excitedly.
"I don't know. Soon I promise." I giggled.
"That's the best part!" She complained.
"I know. Just calm down. Trust me I'm just as excited as you for shopping for a dress."

We stayed in silence before Angelina spoke up again.
"What's been on your mind?"
"The wedding," I shrugged tilting my head back.
"Liar." I turned to face her.

"Excuse me?" I asked confused.
"There's something else and whatever it is you have to tell someone sooner or later. Especially Fred." Then all my worries came rushing back.

"I've just been stressed lately." It wasn't a lie.
"Don't be. Everything is going to work out." She put a reassuring hand on my shoulder. I weakly smiled still feeling unease.

Fred POV
Me and George have closed up the shop and made our way up to the flat. As we entered I only saw Angelina sitting on the couch reading.

"Where's y/n?" I asked.
"She's in your room." I started to walk towards our room.
"Fred wait," I stopped and turn around. She walked up to me.

"You should talk to y/n."
"Why is something wrong?" I asked worriedly.
"I don't know. I have a feeling that she's hiding something."
"Oh okay. Thanks for telling me." I walked inside our room unsure how to feel.

Y/n was scribbling down something and stopped when she looked up.
"How was your day?" She asked slowly putting her stuff into the drawer.
"It was tiring. What were you writing?" I took off my shoes and just laid on the bed.

"Nothing. Just writing down some ideas I have for the wedding that you can't see quite yet." She smiled.
"You do realize it's our wedding right?"
"Yes, but it's a surprise. It's just some small things that are lingering in my head."

"Okay fine you win." I put my hands up in surrender.
"Besides that can I ask you something?" She looked at me curiously.
"Go ahead."
"Angelina says that you hiding something." Her eyes widened in panic for a second.

"She won't give up, will she?" She shook her head.
"I'm fine. At least for the most part. I'm just stressed." I knew that wasn't it by her reaction, but whatever it was I was going to find out.

"Okay, I trust you love." She gave me a small smile.
"I love you, Fred."
"I love you too y/n." I cupped her face and pulled her in for a kiss.

Y/n POV
I couldn't do this anymore. I was feeling so guilty. Last night I could tell Fred knew something was wrong. I needed to tell him, but I had to ask George for advice on how to tell him.

"I'm going for a walk," I told Angelina.
"Want me to come with you?" She asked.
"No, I'm alright." I closed the door and made it to Diagon Alley. The twins were too busy to notice me.

I walked into an alley and apparated to the cave I took Fred not that long ago. I sat in the soft sand feeling the breeze.

"Henry I'm messing up." I began to cry.
"I could use some big brotherly advice." I tucked my knees into my chest.

"What the hell is wrong with me?" I asked frustrated.
"I'm screwing up everything!" I began to yell. All the bottle-up feelings I had begun to come out.

I wiped my tears. I didn't realize it was almost nighttime. I had left the flat in the afternoon. I appeared back at the flat and all the lights were off.

I quietly walked into our room and saw Fred sound asleep with light snores. I smiled at him before changing and crawling onto my side.

Today was the day. I would tell George the best way to go about this to Fred. I wasn't going to keep this in any longer because each day it was eating me alive. I couldn't mentally handle this anymore.

I anxiously waited for the day to be over. As I looked up to see that it was closing I saw Fred walk in.
"Hey, Freddie. Are you alright?"
"I'm just going to bed." He quickly responded and walked straight into our room. I brushed it off and walked down to the shop.

"Hey, Georgie." I stood against the door frame of their office.
"Hey y/n. Is everything alright?" He looked up from his paperwork.

"No. I need to tell you something." His expression became more serious.
"Come in," I walked in and closed the door behind me. I walked over to an empty chair in front of his desk.

"What's wrong?"
"You promise you won't tell Fred?"
"I promise."  I took a deep breath to calm down my nerves.

"There's something me and Percy haven't told you about when we almost died."
"What it is?" He asked worriedly.
"There was a book to tell us how to get back. The thing is, I was only able to read it."
"Did you figure out why?"

"I talked to McGonagall a couple of weeks ago."
"And what did she say?" He asked anxiously.
"Percy couldn't read it because supposedly he was too desperate to come back." I paused for a second trying to word my sentence correctly.

"I could read it because a part of me accepted death. I understood that I could still die and accepted the fact." I began to tear up.
"I didn't know how to tell Fred because I didn't want him to take it wrong, but keeping it a secret probably made it worse." Tears slowly started to fall.

"It's okay y/n," George rushed over to me and picked me up to my feet, and gave me a comforting hug.
"I don't know how to tell him."
"You'll figure it out. How about I come with you, so I make sure he won't overreact and reason with him." We both pulled away.
"I'll like that. Thanks, Georgie." I gave him another hug.

I was so in the moment I didn't realize the office door was open.
"So when were you planning to tell me this again?" I turned to see Fred with a mixture of hurt and anger.

Fred POV
I was done trying to figure out what y/n was hiding. Enough is enough and I'm done playing this guessing game.

I convinced George to do the paperwork tonight and rushed up to the flat.
"Hey, Freddie. Are you alright?" Y/n asked.
"I'm just going to bed." I quickly replied and walked to our room.

I eye her drawer and was debating to see if there was anything to help me with y/n.
"Fred don't do it. That's her personal belongings." I mutter to myself.
"But then again I might find out what y/n's hiding." I sighed as I had made up my mind.

I approached her drawer and slowly began to open it. Inside was a journal that was opened. I reluctantly took it out. There was writing everywhere.

How come I was able to read the book and not Percy?

What should I do?

I have answers, but do I tell Fred?

How to tell Fred?

My eyes widened at all the writing. I looked back in her drawer filled with anger. She's been lying to me for almost a month.

I clenched onto the journal and walked downstairs with fury.

I approached the office door that was closed and heard y/n talking to George. I stayed behind listen closely.

"I could read it because a part of me accepted death. I understood that I could still die and accepted the fact." I felt pain and my face fell. Did she give up on me? On us?

I was too zoned-out and I felt rage again. She kept it a secret from me for so long and left me in the dark.

How could I trust her? She's never done something like this and I was going to marry her. She didn't trust me enough and that's what I knew was key to marriage. Trusting each other.

I zoned back in and opened the door to see her and George back away from a tight embrace with each other.

"So when were you planning to tell me this again?" I crossed my arms still feeling hurt, but now mostly anger.
