Heartbeat

Chapter 43

"I won't let you ruin your happiness for that damn Potter!" Brayn eyes blazed in fury.

I kept packing my stuff away, my train was scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, there was just so little time left. And so much more to pack.

"What did you say? I didn't heard you Brye" I said moving the clothes from my cupboard.

"I said I'm gonna kill Potter!" Bryan raised his eyebrows.

"Good for you. It will be a combat to watch. Sorry I would have to miss it" I replied him easily.

"I'm not kidding. I'm dead serious!" He growled crossing his arms.

"Of course, I believe you" I twirled around him to get back to my bags.

He marched behind me and closed my back with force and I looked at him annoyed, his face was red and his eyes usually filled with mischief were seeing red. He is really angry this time.

"Look Bryan, I know you are mad at me" I calmly placed my hands on his chest, he shrugged them off. Something inside of me broke again, "Brayn you need to reason here with me" I tried again.

"You are letting him play with you. I never thought you were this weak!" He spat furious.

"You are running away. Just like you did three years ago. How long are you willing him to rule and mold your emotions? Didn't you learned your lesson? He don't deserve this power over you." He pointed his finger at me.

"I am not running!" I shouted at him.

"Keep telling yourself that" he rudely replied back.

"I know this is your anger speaking, and you mean nothing like that" I said him softly.

"I mean every word of it. And it makes me sick to think all of this is true" he stretched his hands showing around my half packed room.

Silence.

"I should have guessed when you never showed up at that dinner and when Sara told me you will make a stop before dinner, I should have came back next day to see you." He said bitterly.

"But I am glad I didn't, I don't know what I would have done to that bastard if I saw you in that state. Look at you, you still have puffed eyes!" Bryan gave a dry laugh, folding his hands into fist.

"Tell me Ginny! Is he really worth it? Worth of losing your family, friends, home? Me?" He bored his eyes into mine. And I kept quiet the whole time.

Bryan anger cooled down when I made no attempt to reply him back and he slowly retreated his steps back to leave.

"I thought you would understand" I slowly said him and he halt his steps back. "I thought you knew me, I guess I was wrong"

"That's the point. I know you, and I know you are not weak enough to give up, or to run" he said back.

"I'm not running Bryan, I'm seeking out good for me. I'm concentrating on me" I said stubbornly.

"You are an Auror, you do what you enjoy what you aimed for. Sara is doing what pleases her, in which she is good at. When I decided what I wanted for myself, I'm suddenly weak or selfish" I furrowed my eyebrows.

"True. Harry pushed me in the right direction, that doesn't mean he is leading me, or has a power over me. I give no one that permission to held me in there power to control me!, I did what I like. What I decide for better me."

Bryan gave me a skeptical look, he was still not convinced with my motives taking a long sigh I sat on my bed.

"Bryan, you know me. You should be happy because I am clear with my future for once. A lot of things has been settled in past few days. All of it make me see a clear view" I said softly closing my eyes.

I felt bed shift under his weight and a deep sigh echoed in my ears I turned left and saw him sitting quietly beside me his head resting in his hands he looked more lost then me, I placed my hand over his shoulder and bought him close for an side hug, "Shouldn't I be doing this?" I heard his muffled voice and even in time like this I cracked a small laugh, he moved away irked when he found this funny to me, he quickly took my hand in his and traced a small circle on the back of my hand. "I am sorry, I thought I can change your mind on this, I thought I could..." his word hanged in air when his eyes met mine.

"Bryan" I said again but he quickly cut me off.

"I honestly don't care Ginny, so spare it. I became selfish for a moment, You are right, You are free to do what you like, in what you find happiness, I was in denial that I will have you here, always close to me, always with me." Bryan said, his voice rough around I kept looking at him his eyes they were speaking something different. "From this moment, I let go you." His words rang in my ears, I felt like losing another great deal of my life.

"You will always have me Bryan! I promise, you just need to call me." I pressed his hand in mine for comfort. A sad smile lingered on his lips "And you will have me.!" He said slowly and he pulled me in a quick hug, but I hold him for a bit long, "Paris, will never be the same." I whispered. He patted my back in empathy.
