You've Changed.. (George Shelley Fanfic)

Chapter 12- Autumn Night

George led me into the front sitting room;

He dived onto the couch and lay there, staring at me.

It was a smallish room yet average.

The walls were a light caramel colour with a cream carpet and a mahogany side table with a big red lamp on it.

I glanced at the walls over near the corners and there were pictures covering them,

There was one in particular that caught my eye..

I strolled over to get a closer look & then let out a giggle,

"what are you laughing at?" George said smiling and walking over to me..

I pointed at the picture "look how cute you were!"

The picture was of George in his school uniform on his first day of school!

George scoffed "even then I was a chubby little thing.."

I turned to him. Glaring.

He kept glancing at the picture and then at the ground. He was obviously still afraid to show his feelings about when he was bullied.

"George..your perfect" I whispered brushing a bit of hair from his face;

George shook his head "I was already proven I wasn't."

"But George that was so long ago? Look at you now!"

He looked away "I still feel the same.."

I remember that painful look he always did. When he used to always look away when he ever spoke about the bullies.

It was sad to still see him the same. He has changed so much but yet he still just doesn't see it.

I felt his hand slip around my waist and he gave it a tight squeeze.

I turned to look at him & he smiled sweetly. I gave him one back.

"how about we go make some hot chocolates? I have cream and marshmallows!" he said excitedly;

"yay! ok!" I replied giggling at him,

He grabbed my hand and led me into to kitchen.

The kitchen was big & spacious.

I brushed my hand along the table and then looked at George

He opened the cupboard and took out a small tin that looked like it was pretty much from tescos!

He shook it and then looked at the back "Oh.."

"what?"

"we can't have it.."

"what? why?"

he giggled "cos it expired 3 years ago"

I burst out laughing "you kept it for that long!?"

"I guess so!"

He walked over to me & sighed,

I sarcastically sighed back making him smile..

"what are we gonna do?"

I shrugged at him "I dunno.."

He was quiet until suddenly he gasped!

"what George?"

He grabbed my hand and ran with me back into the sitting room,

"sit down beside the fire!" he said pointing at the floor,

"why?"

"just do it! i have a surprise!"

"but I-"

"ill be back in a sec!"

and before I could get another word in, he was gone.

I sat on the ground and stared into the fire.

Rubbing my hands gently as I tried to get a bit warmer.

The roaring fire was making little crackly noises as the sicks burned & broke inside the flames.

I looked back around the room, staring at the pictures on the wall again.

But this time getting a closer look.

I looked at each one hanging on the wall, so many family members! and lots of new ones..

I never knew George had little brothers..

Probably because I was never told!

But..where were they?

George came back into the room with a small case in his hand.

He kneeled down beside me and put his hands on it..smiling.

"what's in there.." I ask rubbing a bit of dust away from it's surface,

He didn't reply. He just unclipped the front and opened it.

I looked at him..

"take a look" he whispered gently..

I stared at what was in the case.

There was a neat pile of paper in one corner and some items in the other.

I took out all the paper & flicked through them "wh-what are these?"

He took one from me and pointed at the date "read it

My hand brushed over it and I started to read it.

"- Today's To Do List With George-

• go to the forest and pick some sticks

• get some rope and tie them together

• go find Winnie the Pooh and tell him we have a new house for Eeyore "

I giggled "this was our first day together.."

He nodded "we never did find Winnie though.."

"awh..what a disappointment! after building Eeyores house and everything!"

We both start laughing hysterically.

Remembering the times when we were most happy together.

I gasped and reached into the case again..

"this is my silver bracelet I had when I was a kid!..you took it?"

He sadly looked down "it was all I could remember you by.."

I didn't reply, I just stared at the bracelet..

"you used to always wear it..I just felt like you'd be near me when I left. I'm sorry"

I put my hand on his hand reassuringly.. "don't be..I'm glad you did"

He glanced at me and then at my lips..

I eagerly bit them and he started to lean in slowly..

He was now so close I could feel his warm breath against my cold lips.

His hand suddenly gripped onto me as he smashed his soft lips onto mine.

I wrapped my arms around him as we got deeper into the kiss.

George suddenly stopped and swung his head around to face the door..

"what's wrong?!" I whispered.

"..my parents"
