"But it's good to see you Julia, how are you doing today?" Fred asked,

Julia looked around at the shop a little and then looked back at Fred "I'm doing okay, thank you"

"Are you sure?" George asked, knowing that she knew he had seen her crying,

"I'm fine George," she said, "really, I am" she continued when she saw his worried face, "don't worry" she smiled weakly at him, and he nodded his head.

There was a short break were none of them said anything.

Julia was the first to speak after a few minutes, "I've found that book you asked to borrow" she said holding a book up in front of her.

"Great, thank you" George said and smiled,

"You're very welcome" she smiled back as she handed him the book "you can keep it as long as you want"

Fred grabbed the book before George could take it, and he started to turn through the pages.

Both Julia and George looked at him with surprise and as he felt their eyes on him, he looked up, gave them a weird look and then turned around and walked out of the room.

Julia raised an eyebrow, "Is he all right?" she asked looking at George.

George looked at the spot where his twin had been just a second before, then looked at Julia "good question,"

They stood there looking at the door that Fred had disappeared behind, thinking for a little while when George looked at Julia again.

He knew that she had lied before when she said that she was fine, he could still see the tears hiding in her eyes.

He knew that it was something that other people wouldn't notice, no matter how much they wanted to help her or to know what was going on inside her, they still wouldn't see it.

Some day's she was good at hiding her feelings and he knew that she hid them because she didn't want to make the people around her feel bad because of her, but other day's it would be harder for her, and she would let her feelings show, but it wasn't as often that that happened anymore.

He wanted to help her and wanted to make her feel better, but she always hid her feelings and said that she was fine, today no exception.

He sighed silently, "Julia?"

"Yes?" she said as she looked up at him,

"Are you sure that you're alright?" he said, knowing that she still didn't want to talk about it,

"George please," she said, almost in a begging voice, "I'm fine,"

"I know you're not Julia," he looked her deeply in her eyes, "You know that I saw you cry,"

"It's nothing George, I'm fine. I am. I just had a bad moment," she said and he saw that tears were starting to form, slowly, in her eyes.

"Julia-"

"Can we please just stop talking about this? Please George, I… I don't want to think about it…" she said, turning away from him so he wouldn't see the tears that were running down her cheeks.

"Will you please stop that," George said grabbing her arm and turning her around to face him, "you've always said that 'you should let it out', 'talk about it' and 'let people help', but you hide it yourself. Julia, please let me help you,"

There ran more and more tears down her cheeks, "I… It's just… I… I'm sorry…" she said, the tears streaming down her cheeks.

George did the only thing he could think of and hoped that she wouldn't get mad at him or think that he was crazy.

He wrapped his arms around her to hug her, and to his surprise she wrapped her own arms around his waist, sobbing into his chest.

He held her tightly, "It's alright… everything is going to be fine… you'll see" he said.

"It's just so hard," she said through her tears, down into his chest.

"I know Julia, but you have to let us help you. You can't go through this alone, you know that, and you know that we would be more than happy to help you," he said looking down at her with sad eyes.

She looked up into his eyes, tears still running down her cheeks, "Thank you," she whispered and reached up and kissed his cheek.

He felt her warm lips on his skin and couldn't help but close his eyes a little.

He felt the warmth spread to his whole body and butterflies started to fly crazily around in his stomach.

He felt a smile pressing to be shown on his lips as Julia moved her lips.

"You know we are here for you if you need it, no matter what," he said looking into her eyes again.

"You have always been here for me" Julia said, smiling a little,

"And we will always be here" he said, and thought I will always be here,

"You're the greatest friends I could ever ask for" she looked into his eyes, but turned her head again as another tear ran down her cheek.

He hugged her again, feeling her warm body against his, and he heard Julia give a small sob into his chest.

He stood there in his shop, holding her, enjoying the time he was allowed to be so close to her, not wanting it to end.
