•Part eleven

The doctor scheduled another appointment in two weeks for another check up, so you took some paperwork home with you for that.

The entire way home you couldn't stop thinking about family. The kids you would never see grow up, the daughter you would never see get married and have a family of her own, the son you would never see grow up into the perfect man you raised him to be.

All of the things you thought you would be very excited to eventually have, had been taken away from you. You didn't know how to feel.

You made it home safely and put on a brave face before stepping into the busy shop. Fred and George were running around helping customers left and right, so you could make it upstairs without being seen by then hopefully.

"Hey, Alexa!" Ginny called your name out as you started to walk up the stairs.

"Hey, Gin, I didn't know you were here today." You said and walked down the stairs again to hug your sister-in-law.

"Yeah, it was kind of last minute deciding but I wanted some extra money and had the day off so why not spend it here with my family." She smiled at you and you smiled back.

"Look, I'd really love to stay and talk but I really need a shower so once I'm done I'll come back down here." You told her and she nodded your head.

You turned around and walked back up the stairs with Fred calling your name now, you didn't want to face him as he was your husband and you are meant to start a family with the person you marry. You couldn't do that anymore.

He followed you up the stairs but you just unlocked the apartment door and went straight to your bathroom to start the shower. When he got into the apartment and shut the door, he heard the shower so he waited on the couch until you finished.

You got in the shower and took around twenty minutes, you were sat there for at least the minutes though. You felt ashamed to be yourself, you didn't want to be you anymore.

You felt like you failed as a daughter, a person and especially as a wife. Fred wanted kids, you knew that because you two talked about them in front of your parents one time. You felt terrible now that you couldn't give him them.

Once you got out of the shower and got changed, you walked out of your bedroom and saw Fred sat on the couch waiting for you.

"Hey, how was your appointment?" He asked you and you walked round to join him on the couch.

"It went well. Everything's okay, nothing to worry about." You lied, nothing about this was okay.

"You sure?" He asked again.

"Yeah, I'm sure." You lied to him again.

"Okay. Want to come down to the shop with me?" He asked and you nodded your head.

"Yeah, I haven't been down there properly in a while so it will be nice." You said.

"Ginny's here too, so it would be nice for you two to catch up as well." He smiled and the two of you walked out of the apartment together.

He grabbed ahold of your hand as you walked down the stairs to the shop. Customers were everywhere, you saw George and Ginny running around to try and find products so you and Fred went to join them.

•••

You, Fred, George and Ginny spent the day downstairs in the shop helping customers. You took some time to catch up with Ginny because you hadn't seen her in a while, then you talked to George for a little bit too.

The four of you were standing around in the shop after George shut the door, locked it and flipped the sign from open to closed. Fred made drinks for everyone using a bottle of vodka he had behind the counter and some lemonade.

You finished your drink first, pouring yourself another one with more vodka than lemonade. Today was a day that you wanted to try and forget, you have had one of the worst days of your life.

You basically downed your second drink before making a third, everybody else was still on their first drink though. Fred looked at you suspiciously but didn't say anything about it.

After everyone had quite a few drinks, Ginny and George decided to head home. Once they were home, you and Fred went upstairs to the apartment and got ready for bed. You got changed and made yourself comfortable on the living room couch with a book in your hand.

Fred came and joined you with a book of his own. The two of you sat there reading in silence, the only noise you heard was him moving around and trying to get even more comfortable.

"I need another drink. What one?" He spoke up and out his book down on the coffee table.

"Yes, please. Vodka and lemonade." You said.

"Coming right up." He walked into the kitchen and came out with two drinks shortly after. "Here you go."

He handed you your vodka lemonade and you started sipping it. He sat back down in his seat and didn't continue reading, he just drank his drink which looked a lot like whiskey.

Fred finished his drink and you still had half of yours left, you weren't going to drink it quickly like earlier because you started to feel dizzy not long after your fifth drink before with Fred, George and Ginny. You started to feel very tired and like you would drift off to sleep at any time.

You had been feeling tired for a while now, you hadn't slept properly since that night Luke held you down in his apartment and ruined your life.

Out of nowhere, your eyes shut and opened very quickly at the sound of glass shattering. Fred sat up straight to see if you were alright but you were so tired and was about to fall asleep.
