A/N- The song is "Save You" by Simple Plan. I don't own it =)
Take a breath
I pull myself together
Just another step till I reach the door
You'll never know the way it tears me up inside to see you
I wish that I could tell you something
To take it all away
Angelina sighed, took her keys out of her bag and slid them into the keyhole. She looked up at the shop front. It was still as bright and colourful as when it was new, but only because she had made sure of it. She didn't want business to fail- she knew Fred would not have wanted that.
Angelina locked the door behind her, picked up the post, stuffed the keys back into her bag, then looked around and turned the light on. The shop was a bit messy, but that was only a sign of its ever-increasing popularity. She went into the back and climbed the stairs up to George's flat. The stairs were crowded but nobody ever got round to tidying it up, even though it had been said many times.
Sometimes I wish I could save you
And there're so many things that I want you to know
I won't give up till it's over
If it takes you forever I want you to know
"Angelina?" a weak voice called from the kitchen area.
"Yeah, it's me. How are you this morning?" Angelina replied, entering the kitchen and setting down the post in front of George, who was clutching a mug of hot water. Angelina was slightly puzzled-he always had tea.
"Do you want some tea in that water, or is it okay?" she said gently.
"It's alright. Didn't notice..." his voice turned into a mumble. Angelina frowned, but she didn't say anything else.
"I'll get dressed in a minute, just let me finish this...." George said, looking up at Angelina and attempting a small smile.
When I hear your voice
It's drowning in a whisper
It's just skin and bones
There's nothing left to take
And no matter what I do I can't make you feel better
If only I could find the answer
To help me understand
When they both were finally downstairs, George walked over to the door to turn the 'closed' sign round. Angelina knew that he could have easily done this using magic, but he remembered how Fred liked to see the customers waiting outside the door. The thought of Fred brought tears to Angelina's eyes, but she blinked them back. She knew that if George was going to recover, then the people around him had to be strong. She wanted more than anything to cry and scream with the unfairness of it all. After all, she had loved Fred.
However, she could never, and would never know the closeness that the twins had, therefore the pain that George felt was unknown to everybody but him. It tore her apart every day to see George, see all of Fred's features and personality, broken. She couldn't leave him. George was her best friend and she could not leave him while he was like this. She wished that she could be strong enough to get George through this, to give him even half the happiness he used to have.
Sometimes I wish I could save you
And there're so many things that I want you to know
I won't give up till it's over
If it takes you forever I want you to know
That if you fall, stumble down
I'll pick you up off the ground
If you lose faith in you
I'll give you strength to pull through
Tell me you won't give up cause I'll be waiting if you fall
Oh you know I'll be there for you.
