-1Seems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight
Everything, it felt so right
Unbreakable, like nothin' could go wrong
Now I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on

George punched the nearest wall, instantly regretting it. Blood ran down his fist, but he didn't care. His bleeding heart was worse than that wound.

She was one of the few people who could tell him apart from Fred. She was always happy to see him. Always managed to get him away from Fred and Lee to hang out, not really like a date. But he swore she flirted with him. And she seemed… different than anybody else. He could actually talk to her, not feel ashamed to tell his feelings (as most guys do).

I told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright
For once in my life
Now all that's left of me
Is what I pretend to be
So together, but so broken up inside
'Cause I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hangin' on

He was glad to have her, a best friend (aside from Fred, of course), someone he could count on to be there for him. But what he'd just seen…

15 minutes ago

Run, run, run!!! His mind screamed at him. GET AWAY FROM THE SLYTHERINE COMMON ROOM!

Him and Fred had just set off a series of dung bombs right outside the entrance, even managing to get a few in as a Slytherine girl walked out.

They began to run as she screamed for Snape, trying not to double over with laughter.

"Split up, we have a better chance of escape!" Fred yelled.

"Great, see ya in the common room!" George yelled back as he turned the corner. He ran up some stairs, through a few corridors, and suddenly- his heart stopped in his throat.

There she was, kissing some guy. Some dark haired Ravenclaw.

His stomach churned, and he ran outside. Far into the courtyard, where he could be alone and think.

So there he was.

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

He ran and ran without stopping, heart pounding through his chest. He felt tears forming in his eyes, anger making him see red. Past the last of the yard, past the lake, almost to Hogsmead…

No, he couldn't run.

He needed to go back and face her. Face himself. After all that had happened tonight, she had only built his shell.

Swallow me then spit me out
For hating you, I blame myself
Seeing you it kills me now
No, I don't cry on the outside
Anymore...

He walked through the doors, feeling calm.

When he heard a voice. A certain female voice that he loved to hear so much, that hurt him at the same time.
