A/N: This is a flashforward!
Lexi's POV
I walked down the hallway, making my way to the library to check out books for my potions essay. Halfway to my destination, I heard strange noises coming from an empty classroom on the other side of the hall. Quietly walking over to the door, I pressed my ear against it. It sounded like two people were kissing.
Cracking the door open an inch, I peaked inside the classroom, only to slide a hand over my mouth a second later. No, it couldn't be true. Please don't let it be true.
But it was reality. My boyfriend was officially cheating on me. Pushing the door open fully, the two stopped kissing, the boy looking at me guiltily. "Lexi..." he said.
"How could you?" I said a bit loudly. "I love you! Or should I say loved you!"
"Lexi, it's not what it looks like." Fred whispered. "Please, that's the oldest excuse ever invented." I said, rapidly wiping at my eyes.
"I didn't mean..." But I didn't hear the rest, I was already racing down the hallway. I heard Fred calling after me, but I could care less. He lied to me. He cheated on me. And he didn't even care enough to come after me.
My legs felt like jelly beneath me. I collapsed on the ground, hugging my knees to my chest, wrapping my arms around them. My mom had always said that your first heartbreak would hurt, but I didn't think I would feel like this. My heart felt like it had been crushed into a million pieces, and nobody wanted to pick them up. So I just sat there, crying into my legs. I slid down the wall, my green eyes outlined with tears. How could he have been with Angelina the whole time? This was my worst nightmare. The guy who I had thought to been the one was gone, off snogging another girl. And right then, I felt my heart break. Suddenly, a hand cupped my cheek. Looking up, I saw a face full of concern. "Fred?" I asked.
"Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm George. I heard what happened, are you alright?" Shaking my head, more tears rolled down my cheeks. George looked into the green eyes, trying to be sympathetic. He really truly hated his brother for doing this to that poor girl. "Please don't cry. It's okay."
"No, it's not. I loved him, and now he's with HER." Seeing as he had no other choice, he sat down next to me, wrapping his arm around my shoulders. "Come on now, crying won't help. Do you want to go to the common room?"
"No, I just want to keep crying."
George chuckled. "If you won't walk, I guess I'll have to carry you." Without a moments hesitation, George put an arm under my legs, another under my back.
"H-Hey! Put me down!"
"Sorry, that's not going to happen."
Entering the common room, George placed me on the couch. "Thanks." I whispered.
"No problem." Sitting down on the couch, George nuzzled his head against mine.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Just trying to make you feel better. I never got to get close to you, you always had Fred attached to you. But now, I have you all to myself." "What in the name of Merlin are you talking about?"
"Please, I'm surprised you haven't figured it out yet." A thought zoomed into my brain. George eyes were always filled with jealousy whenever me and Fred were together. He would turn around and run off. Whenever they would kiss, George would make an excuse to leave. It all added up. I was surprised I hadn't figured it out before. I suddenly felt something warm and soft on my cheek, which had turned the color of ripened cherries. Those were not just his lip, I thought. "You know, I've always thought you were pretty cute. Man did Fred have it made." I said nothing. I was too surprised to open my mouth.
"I've totally just ruined everything, didn't I?"
"No, it's not that. It's just that, I just dated your brother, your twin. Isn't that strange?"
"Nope. Unless, you have a problem with it."
After a thought, I replied, "No, but...I'm not too sure about this, George. You're sweet, no doubt about that, but, I just learned that your brother was cheating on me and..." With that sentence, I choked up again and curled into a ball, rocking back and forth.
George's POV
I sighed. What have I done? She likes me, sure. But she's so upset, and she feels alone. I need to show her she's not. So, I leaned over, pulling the balled up form closer, resting my chin on top of the dirty blonde hair. Looking up with tear filled eyes, Lexi blinked a few times. I just smiled. "I may not be my brother, but I can still love you. But that part is up to you." I whispered. Lexi stumbled on words. Sure, George was sweet, and not that bad looking either. But whenever she looked into his eyes, Fred's stared right back at her, she thought.
"I'll never replace Fred," George whispered suddenly. "I know that. I will never be as good of a boyfriend as he was. I wouldn't be surprised if you laughed in my face right now."
Lexi's vision blurred. What had I done? "Oh, I've made you cry. I'm sorry."
"No." she said, wiping her eyes rapidly. "It's sweet, really. I know you won't ever be Fred, and for that, I'm grateful." "What?" "Fred was a cheating pig. He'll always have a special place in my heart, but, I think I can make another one. For another certain Weasley twin."
"Huh?" I asked confused.
"Okay, I'm going to explain this slowly. I like you." Lexi said as if she was talking to a five year old.
"Oh. Why couldn't you have said that in the first place?"
"I was hoping you could figure it out. But I guess you're as stupid as your brother."
"I take that as an insult. Why do you hurt me in this way?" Lexi covered her mouth with her hand and giggled.
"Aw, I made little Georgie upset. How can I make Georgie feel better?"
I smirked and tapped my cheek. Groaning, Lexi leaned over, about to press her lips to my cheek, but I turned my head at the last second. Now, lips locked, Lexi went wide eyed, while I just acted normal.
Pulling apart, Lexi blushed. "I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me."
I leaned closer. "Ah come on, Lex, don't pretend you disliked it. I can see the color rising in you cheeks. And don't try to the hide them," I pulled Lexi's hands from her cheeks and grinned. "You're ruining it for me."
