"Bella, you have to get up." Hermione said, dragging me out of bed

"Five more minutes."

"You said that 20 minutes ago. Come on."

"I can't go down there, 'Mione."

"Well, you can't hide forever."

"Yes, I can." I grumbled as I stood up. I threw on a pair of leggings and went to grab a sweatshirt. The one on top was Fred's old quidditch sweater that didn't fit him anymore. I grabbed it and threw it out of my closet. I put on a plain white sweatshirt and slid on some sneakers. I put my hair in a messy ponytail and didn't even bother putting mascara on, "I look like I was just hit by a bus." I frowned in the mirror

"I'm not going to lie, you don't look great but it's a start. It's better than what I was expecting you to leave this room looking like."

"Let's just get this over with." I said and walked out the door. We walked to the great hall. Everyone was already eating, Hermione and I seemed to be the last, "Hermione, I don't want to do this." I said after I caught a glimpse of Fred talking and enjoying his morning. Bloody git.

"It's okay. I told Harry and Ron to find a seat away from him. You just have to walk past." She nudged me to start walking. I walked down the aisle between the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff tables. As we got closer to where the twins and Lee were sitting, George and Lee stopped talking and looked at me then quickly looked away. Fred turned and looked at me,

"Bella." He breathed

"I can't-" I said quietly for only Hermione to hear. I turned around and started walking out,

"Bella." Fred said again and I heard him stand up,

"Don't do it, mate- No- Fred. Stop" Lee and George tried to get him to sit back down but I heard his footsteps continue to follow me

"Bella, please." He said when we reached far enough out of earshot from the other students

"What?" I whipped around, "What could you possibly want from me, Fred? Why can't you just leave me alone?"

"I don't know but I can't. I love you. I need to talk to you. And see you. And hug you. And-"

"Too late. You ruined that. Please go away. Stop making this harder for me. If you loved me, you would realize how hurt I am and you would stop making it worse. Go. Away...please." a single tear fell from my eye,

"Please. How can I fix this?"

"Go back in time and undo all of this so none of it ever happened, or leave. me. alone." I turned around and started walking away

"I love you." He said softly

"Where was this love yesterday when you looked directly in my eyes in front of my friends and broke up with me...after lying to Angelina saying we broke up? Nowhere. Don't lie to me just because you aren't getting what you want. It makes you seem like a child." I said, not looking back at him at all

"Bella, please." He begged. I shook my head and kept walking

A few days went by and a lot of quiet tears were spilled as I passed him while I walked in the halls. Fred seemed to have given up harassing me and as much as I appreciated it, I missed his voice. He never said a word to anyone when we were in the same room. He hadn't pulled any pranks. I didn't see him smile. It looked like he didn't sleep or eat for days. He looked sick. All I wanted to do was hug him. It pained me to see him like that but he deserved it. He did that to himself. I, on the other hand, tried my best to look normal but all of my friends knew as soon as I got to my dormitory I would fall apart. Who knew it could hurt this bad? I didn't. If I didn't have the smallest bit of self-respect that I have I probably would've forgiven him by now but I know that this happened for a reason and whatever the outcome of this is, it will all work out... I hope.
