More Than Heart Could Desire 《 A George Weasley Love Story 》

Chapter#11 I Love Her

GEORGE'S POV:

Bright sunlight streamed through the window and kissed my face. I squeezed my eyes before opening them. I rubbed my eyes and stretched my arm as I sat up. I saw Fred was already dressed and was leaving the dorm.

'"Freddie ", I called him.

"What is it mate", he turned to face me.

"Where are you going?", I asked him.

"Great hall. I'm hungry. You didn't eat last night either, you must be hungry too. I'll wait here for you, go get dressed then we'll go together", he started walking back into the dorm.

"No it's okay. You go on, I'll see you there", I told him to go.

"Alright then. Come fast", he said and walked out of the dorm.

'Thank God he's not mad at me anymore. But I feel myself still mad at me. Anna doesn't talk to me much now. If I say something she just nodes or shakes her head or just smiles. She don't even see me eye to eye. I know I hurt her. Freddie is right she likes me but I screwed it up, I realised it too late. If I hadn't assumed things about her and Wood, the situation would have been different today. She would have been with me. My love for her is growing even more now. This love is flourishing swiftly with every passing minute of every day and I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it, from Darla. I hurt Anna, the girl I love the most and now I don't want to hurt Darla too. I know I did her wrong. She deserves to be loved by her partner just like any other girl, but I'm afraid I won't be able to do that. I love Anna. I love only Anna but I don't want to hurt Darla. I wish I could just flick my wand and turn back the clock and fix everything I ruined. I feel so helpless'. I thought to myself.

I swore under my breath and sighed loudly. I got dressed and left the dorm. I saw everyone but Anna in the common room. She might be in her dorm, still upset and not wanting to come out. Should I go see her. No, this might upset her even more. She didn't eat anything. She lost her appetite and so did I.

We all left for great hall. I didn't dare to ask the girls about Anna because they will come at my throat as they were still mad at me.

As I enter the great hall I saw Anna sitting with Fred, eating, laughing and talking. I sighed in relief to see her somewhat better than yesterday. Thank God she is allowing Fred to look after her.

I started walking towards her but then Darla sprinted towards me and engufled me in a hug and kissed me. I immediately looked at Anna to make sure she didn't see that but she did. DAMN IT.

"I was waiting for you. I thought we could have breakfast together, but I already ate it. I'm sorry", she said.

"It's okay Darla. Don't worry about that", I smile at her
.
"Can we have lunch together", she asked sweetly.

" Sure ", I answered her.

I walked towards the Gryffindor table and sat beside Anna. After few minutes she stood and left saying that she was going to her dorm to get ready for school.

Later we sat together in classes but didn't talk. At lunch she left the great hall early probably because Darla came and sat with me. After school Fred and I went straight to our dorm as Anna went to her dorm.

I miss my old Anna with whom I used to spend the whole day and now we barely talk. I miss her dearly.

We both sat on our beds. I took my robes off and started untying my tie.

"I've never seen her cry this much before", Fred mumbled.

"Come again", I became more attentive.

"I've never seen Anna cry this much before", he said more clearly this time.
I didn't say anything in answer.

I felt a sharp twinge of penitence, remorse and pain.

"She cries everyday and I'm certain that she cries herself to sleep every night", he continued.

"My heart aches to see her cry. I feel sorry for my best friend that she fell for someone who is not witty enough to understand her feelings for himself", his words made my heart shatter in my chest, but I didn't say a word. Tears welled up in my eyes.

"And what about Darla. Are you treating her right? The way she deserves", I remained silent. Fred came and sat beside me.

"You can talk to me if you need to vent mate", he said I hugged him tight, he hugged me back. I shed few silent tear. We back off from the hug.

"Freddie I know I spoiled everything. I hurt Anna and I'm not treating Darla right either and now I know that Anna always liked me but I'm too late. I'm broken Fred. I feel so helpless. I want to change everything but I just can't", I said in a sorrow filled voice.

He draped his arm around my shoulder and comforted me. He's the only one who can comfort me right now. Thank heavens I have him.
