One Stone Changes So Many Lives - Book 3/10

Chapter 28 - End of Year Feast

George's POV

She leans over to me immediately hugging me, finishing off the last of her tears.

"Yeah.......but Connor was right about one thing" she stutters out.

"What's that?" I ask curiously.

"I am a stupid silly over-emotional girl" she explains, wiping her eyes with her sleeve.

"When did he say that?"

She doesn't answer.

"Oh that night?" I ask quietly.

"Those nights" she corrects me – Those nights? She was trapped with him, for more than one night!? Oh Sabrina – Come on George, make her smile.

"Can I tell you a secret? ..........Guys are the only ones who are supposed to know this, but I think you need dose of realising how special you are" I begin, as she raises her green eyes up at me "Guys are over emotional wrecks as well. We just don't show girls we are.......We have to be Macho!" I say flexing my arms in the air, making her cheeks turn red as she giggles – She's still in there, but barely. Trying to make her come and be her again, is gonna take some time. But she's there. She's still Sabrina.

"I wanna tell you something else as well - "

" – yes Georgie?"

"That blonde girl you found in my bed - "

" – George you really don't have to explain" she adds uncomfortably, looking at the beginnings of the lake at her feet – She called me 'George' again – Maybe she calls me that when she's jealous as well?

" – But I do........I didn't invite her there. I turned around at some point in the night realising someone was there, expecting to see you.......and I found her. I screamed at her. A lot. Her name is Rebecca. Apparently she was trying to find some 6th year apparently" I add, as a sudden shiver runs down my spine at the memory "You're the only girl I have EVER let sleep in my bed.......I swear!"

"Oh Georgie!" she giggles "You do get yourself into trouble, don't you? Even if you're not always conscious of it" she giggles again leaning her head on my shoulder – Her hair smells of strawberries again.

"Ha Ha! Very funny" I say cheekily to her. I bite my lip - Do I ask her now? At least that way she knows how I feel. How I've always felt. "Erm Sabrina....Would you like to - "

" – There you are!"

I spin round to see Fred leading Lee, Alicia and Angelina over to us – Perfect timing guys! Really Bloody Perfect!

As everyone comes and sits down next to us, the Giant Squid pops up at the bank, squirting water at Sabrina, making her giggle – Looks like he's trying to cheer her up too.

Sabrina's POV

We spent the rest of the day by the lake, laughing as the twins tickled the giant Squid again, making me smile as I watched them with comfort. I don't know what time I fell asleep, but I woke up to find myself in the boys dormitory. They were packing away their things ready for tomorrow.

"Hey, how did I get here?" I yawned.

"George carried ya" Fred answered quickly. I look up to see the tips of George's ears turn red – Awww.

"Thank you. And, sorry you had too"

"Don't worry about it. It wasn't that hard" he adds smiling to me, throwing another pair of trousers into his trunk. Fred shoots him a look before widening his eyes at me – I think it was a bit hard, and George is just being modest for my sake – He is sweet.
