Last Summer // George Weasley

32. Not My Fault

Song: jealousy jealousy by Olivia Rodrigo

The next morning you let out a long groan when your alarm clocked went off
"No, too early" you mumbled and rolled over
"Come on" George said rubbing his eyes and getting out of bed
"Nooo" you whined
"Weird it's like someone warned you this might happened" he laughed when you threw a pillow at him and begrudgingly got out of bed
"Now there's a good girl" George teased and you shot him a look
"Coffee"
"Wha-"
"Coffee" you said again pulling on your clothes
"Whatever you say" George chuckled and went out to the kitchen to make you some coffee. Once you were all ready you walked into the kitchen a hot cup of coffee waiting for you
"Thanks babe" you smiled at George as you took a sip. Fred walked out of his room looking how you felt
"Rough night mate" George asked
"No talk" Fred said holding his hand up, a moment later Angelina came out of Fred's room
"Oh Angelina" you said choking on your coffee "we didn't know you were here"
"Ahha yeah" she said shyly. You looked over at George who looked just as surprised as you
"but I have to get going" she said clearing her throat "Fred"
The two of them walked out the door and you turned to George
"Uh?!"
"Hey I didn't know either"
Fred came back in the front door and walked into the kitchen preparing his breakfast
"Uhm hey Fred"
"What's up"
"Why didn't you tell us Angelina stayed the night"
"Didn't realize I had to" he said making you roll your eyes
"Stop being a prick Fred, you know that's not what I meant"
"Then what did you mean"
"Well it was a bit awkward and I don't want to make Angelina feel bad or anything"
"If it was awkward it was only because you made it"
"Fred" you said a bit shocked at his answer
"No just stop" he said slamming his butter knife down. You just nodded and got up from your place at the table and headed downstairs to get a little work done before the shop opened.
"Not cool Fred" you heard George say as you closed the door behind you. You walked into the office and turned the lights on, pulling out the inventory list and the sales from yesterday. A few minutes later someone knocked on the office door
"Come in" you called softly
George opened the door with your coffee mug in his hand
"You forgot this" he said placing it down next to you planting a kiss on your head
"Thanks" you smiled up at your boyfriend
"I'm sorry about Fred" George sighed running his hand through his hair
"Don't worry about it, it's not your problem"
"Well I'm going to get out there, we need to open up soon"
"I'll be out in a minute" you said turning back to your paperwork.
About fifteen minutes later you finished up what you needed and headed out to the floor to start on the register.
The shop was just as busy as it had been the day before so you were on your feet the whole day working like crazy. You were ringing someone up at the register when a loud crash made you jump, you saw a small boy looking guilty next to a broken jar of wiz bangs.
"Samantha" Fred barked "clean that up"
You were shocked at Fred but quickly finished up with the customer you had at the register and went to sweep up the broken glass
"It's alright honey" you said to the small boy "accidents happen"
He smiled at you and walked away leaving you to clean it up.

The shop was closed now and the sun was setting. Fred had immediately gone upstairs and you cleaned up after the busy day in silence. George was in the office signing all of the paperwork you did this morning.
"Im all done out here" you said popping your head into the office
"Thanks love" George looked up from his work and smiled at you. You blew him and kiss and headed upstairs. Fred was in his room with the door closed so you went into the kitchen and looked through the fridge deciding what to make everyone for dinner. You decided on cottage pie which you quickly got started and into the oven when Fred came out of his room
"I've got dinner started" you smiled at him but he wouldn't even look at you
"I'm not hungry"
"Oh..." your smile fell and you looked down at the three places you had set at the table "excuse me" you mumbled and hurried into your room collapsing on the floor in tears. Mari rubbed up against you and meowed, almost as if she was asking what was wrong. Fred didn't want to be your friend anymore, he didn't want you around and you had nowhere else to go.
You heard George come up from the store seconds later
"Where's Samantha" George asked And you didn't hear Fred answer. George walked into your room and found you sitting against the bed crying
"What happened" he asked hurrying to your side
"N-nothing" you said trying to stop your tears
"Clearly it wasn't nothing" George said gently rubbing your arm
"It's silly" you sniffled accidentally getting some snot on George's shirt "sorry" you whispered
"It isn't silly if it's upset you"
"I made dinner, cottage pie" you started "and Fred said he didn't want it, he won't even look at me"
George hugged you tightly and got to his feet
"I'll be back"
He walked out of the room leaving you to clean yourself up. You changed out of work clothes and went to the bathroom to wash your face. When you went into the hall you could hear George and Fred arguing
"She works her butt off not just for me but for you too and you're being an insufferable dick" George yelled at his brother
"This was our thing George, you and me"
"And it was you who suggested she come with us in the first place"
"Well I fucked up because I can't stand her being around anymore" Fred screamed as you walked into the living room. Your stomach dropped and George's eyes met yours, Fred turned and saw your face his own looking worried
"Samantha" he said quietly
"Is that how you really feel" you shouted "all those years of being friends meant nothing to you"
"No samantha I-"
"Fuck you" you screamed and apperated out of the flat.

• George's POV •

The loud crack was the only thing to be heard in the now silent flat
"The fuck is wrong with you" you screamed at your brother "you're a real Fucking prick Fred"
"George I'm sorry I didn't mean it" Fred said
"I don't Fucking care what you meant you still fucking said it and now she's gone so I hope you're Fucking happy"
You stormed out of the flat and ran down the street looking everywhere for Samantha with no luck. You eventually made it back to the shop and sat on the steps out front. Fred came out of the store and sighed
"I don't hate having her here" he sighed "I'm just..... I'm jealous"
"Jealous" you asked
"I wish I had... something like the two of you do" he admitted "and sometimes I wish I had it with her"
"You...have feelings for Samantha" you asked
"No" Fred held his hands up "well, I don't know. I mean I don't think I do"
"Jesus Fred" you shouted jumping to your feet "can you never just let me be happy, can I never have something of my own"
"I'm sorry George I am, I've tired with Angelina but it isn't right, it's not like you two"
"Well of course it isn't you guys aren't us"
"It isn't right..... it isn't right"
"I'm sorry" you told him
"I just want what you guys have"
"You will, one day"
You and Fred walked into the flat and you ran to the kitchen taking out a very burnt cottage pie from the oven
"Fuck" hissed placing the hot dish down on the counter as smoke billowed out of the oven. Fred opened the window and turned to face you 
"Sorry"
"It's fine" you sighed "I'm going to pop over to mum's to see if she's seen Samantha"
Fred just nodded

•Samantha's POV•

You apperated into the living room at the burrow Mrs. Weasley hurrying into the room when she heard
"Samantha darling" she smiled at you but it quickly dropped when she saw you had been crying "what happened"
"Fred and I got in a fight" you said Mrs. Welasey wrapping her arms tightly around you
"Oh dear I'm so sorry, you know Fred and his temper he can be right nasty sometimes"
You nodded and sniffled
"Come on let me make you some tea" the two of you walked into the kitchen and you sat at the table
"Mum" Ginny called coming into the kitchen "have you se- Samantha" she ran over to you and hugged you "what's going on what did George do to you" 
"George?" Mrs. Weasley asked
"They've been dating for the past few months" Ginny told her mother
"Oh how wonderful" she said running back over and squishing you again making  you laugh quietly
"No Ginny it wasn't George, it was the other one"
"Should have known Fred's an ass"
"Ginny" Mrs Weasley scolded her daughter
"Well he is"
You started to explain to Ginny and Mrs. Weasley what had happened when you heard a sharp crack from the living room
"Mum" it was George "have you seen Samantha she rushed out and didn't say whe-" George walked into the kitchen and spotted you
"Samantha" he grabbed you tightly and kissed your head
"I'm sorry" you whispered
"Hey no you have nothing to be sorry for" George said rubbing your down on your head
"I'm just glad I found you" George sat at the table next to you and Molly put a cup of tea in front of him. You sat in silence while George absentmindedly rubbed circles on your leg
"You'll come home right"
"Of course George, I just..... needed to get out for a while"
"Good"

After another cup of tea and plenty of hugs from Molly and Ginny you and George headed home. The flat was dark and quiet when you got there, no sight of Fred.
"Are you hungry" George asked
"No I just want to go to bed"
"Alright princess" George kissed your forehead and the two of you went into your room. George pulled out a pair of your pajamas and got the bed ready while you changed. You climbed in bed under the warm blankets and let out a long sigh
"Comfy" George asked a silly smile on his face as he took his clothes off and got in bed
"Very" you said snuggling into his side
"Perfect" George wrapped his arms around you and fell asleep while you laid awake thinking about everything Fred had said earlier today, what if he really meant it? What if our friendship was over?
