Choice || Cedric Diggory vs Fred Weasley

15. Mixed Feelings

"Merlin, it's freezing out here" George wrapped both of his arms around himself as he was shivering in the winter cold.

Winter had finally come by the start of November and the three of them were in the black lake which had already turned into ice.

Fred, George, and Stella were sitting under the three admiring the beautiful view in front of them.

Today turned out surprisingly nice.

When Stella woke up she instantly realized that she wasn't in her bed but instead in her ex-boyfriend's, whose arms were wrapped around her, her head resting on his chest.

She wasn't mad or neither regretted anything about that tho, she wasn't that drunk last night and she could remember every detail that had happened.

She did miss Fred. They couldn't just avoid each other forever, he's still her best friend no matter what.

But something kept bothering her mind.

After last night's event, she couldn't stop thinking about Cedric. She knows that they had only agreed on being fuck buddies and nothing more but after last night, him fucking her mercilessly, touching her, kissing her, and being so fucking hot made her rethink.

She suddenly became confused.

No.

She couldn't like him.

Especially not Cedric.

She loves Fred.

A lot.

But does she really do?

"Oi give me one of those!" George complained at Fred as he grabbed a pack of cigarettes from his pockets along with a lighter.

After Fred lit up his, he handed it to George, him doing the same.

"What happened to the rules?" Stella raised her eyebrows at the two. "You said you aren't going to smoke until we graduate."

"Oh come on Stella, we were 12 when we made those darn rules! And don't blame it on me, blame it on this bloke here" He pointed at Fred. "Ever since you guys broke up, he started smoking so I also tried it." He shrugged.

"You can try it if you'd like" Fred offered her the pack and she hesitantly took it from his hand.

A few moments after the twins have taught her how to smoke, she lit up her cigarette putting it between her lips before inhaling and letting out the smoke making her cough a bit as the twins chuckled at her.

Stella had felt that everything was finally going back to normal but it wasn't. It pains her that she was slowly losing feelings for Fred, the only man she has ever loved, she never wanted to admit it but she knew she was falling out of love with him.

She still loves him of course, but not in that way anymore.

But she's trying to convince herself that she still does and that he is the only man she would ever like.

As she was losing her feelings for Fred, she was starting to have feelings for someone else but doesn't want to admit it, because the person she was starting to like was, toxic, treated her like shit her whole life, would never like her that way and that person was none other than Cedric Diggory.

She likes Cedric Diggory.

She can't like him, but she had fallen in love with the way he had acted every time the two of them had their moments together.

She knew he doesn't like her in that way but only a sexual way, but she couldn't help it even though she forced herself not to like him. I mean who couldn't like him? He's really hot.

And later that night she had found herself thinking about Cedric.

She doesn't know how Ethan would react if he had found out that she became fuck buddies with his brother and that thought made her anxious.

She also thought about Fred the whole time.

What would he feel?

She knew he still loves her and the thought of her not loving him back that way she used to, hurt her.

He was the perfect guy.

He was very nice and supportive in everything that she does, he never judged her on anything he lets her do whatever she wanted. He was also so hot, especially in the morning. He had always looked the best in the morning and what made him a lot hotter on when he wears nothing but sweatpants or pajamas with his messy hair and raspy voice.

He was so perfect.

Why does she lose feelings so easily and fell for an arsehole?

Well, she had wished she knew the reason.
