** I own nothing but a few ideas and thoughts that were in my head and needed to get out. I hope you enjoy this chapter**

May 2nd. The day started out well enough. I made breakfast, we ate. We had some light breakfast conversation, but I could tell that George's mind was somewhere else. He had debated on whether or not to open the shop and then at the last-minute he decided to do so. He said it would help to keep him busy. We didn't have many customers but there were a few visits from reporters wanting interview survivors of the battle at Hogwarts. George was polite at first and answered a few questions as did I but then one of them ask about how was he getting along without Fred. That's when George got angry and put everyone out of the shop and closed down early. He told all the employees they would be paid for the full day and stormed upstairs.

I stayed in the shop for a little while to balance the registers and get the bank statement ready to drop off at Gringotts. As soon as I locked the drop off bag in the safe I heard a clatter from upstairs. I ran up to our flat and found George in a rage he was swearing and casting all kinds of destructive spells in Fred's room.

"You should have moved, you shouldn't have been standing so close to that wall, you should have stayed home, why in the hell where you laughing at a joke made by a prat like Percy?"

"George," I hollered but he just continued. I ran up to him and grabbed his arm and he yanked away saying, "Get away from me Angelina, this is between me and Fred."

He had this look in his eyes that I have never seen before. It was a cross between hurt and madness all rolled up into one. "George please listen to me." There was no reasoning with him. He just continued on his rampage. I hurried and sent and urgent message to Bill and Ron asking them to come quickly. I knew they were the only two who could help him. I went downstairs and cried. I didn't know what to do or how to handle this.

Bill was the first to arrive then, Ron all I could hear was shouting and what sounded like a scuffle between them. I left I just couldn't deal with it anymore. I thought long and hard. I wondered if I would have to go through this every year, or would I be able to continue to handle the stress of it all. I looked at the beautiful ring on my finger and I thought about how would marriage change anything. What if we have children will they have to suffer through these fits of rage? As I was walking and thinking I noticed that I didn't recognize my surroundings so I decided there was only one place I could go and then I asaparated at the front door of my sister flat. I knocked on the door. At first I didn't hear anything then I heard a voice say, "Just a minute." Then the door came open. "Rosemaria, what brings you by?"

"I was just in the neighborhood and decided to pop in and chat with my big sister. You know so you can help me with the details of my wedding and all." I don't know why I told that big lie. If anything Alexis already knew something else was wrong with me. She just took me in her arms and held me and said "Know tell me why you are really here."

I didn't know where to start. I told her about how it all started at the beginning of March and I thought that it was over by May but this reporter came in and upset George so and he was in a mad rage and how I didn't think that there would be a flat left when and if I go back. She listened and then she asked one simple question, "Do you love him?"

"Yes. He has always been the one. I used to daydream about him in Snapes class instead of paying attention sometimes. I would get into trouble just so I could spend time with him in detention. I wish we wouldn't have realized that we loved each other after Fred died but that is just how it happened. I just don't know what to do to help him. That scares me, because I always know what to do."

"Rosemaria I can't tell you what decision to make because in the end it is your decision but I can tell you this. You came into his life when he had this big gaping hole in his heart that he had patched up with scotch tape. You have filled up most of that hole with cement but there is still some scotch tape on it and it is starting to unravel and fall off. It will take some time but you will continue to fix that part that is coming apart. You just have to be strong. He loves you; I can see it in his eyes. If you leave him now you will live to regret it."

Alexis was right. If I left George now and he did something stupid I would blame myself and live in a world of regret and heartache. I hugged my sister and I left. I went back to the shop and as I entered I didn't hear anything so I gritted my teeth and climbed the stairs to our flat I entered and I looked around. I could tell that there was some scuffle but I didn't see anyone there. I walked in our bedroom and George was sitting there, staring at the floor. When he saw the door open he stood up and walked over to me and hugged and kissed me so fiercely. He pulled back and said, "I am so sorry Ang. I would blame you if you are just coming to get your stuff and leave. You don't deserve any of this."

I started to say something but he kissed me again. This time I pulled away. "George, I'm scared. I don't know what to expect from you. I thought that the worse was over but….. What are we going to do? I want to help but if you keep locking things in that dark place I can't. I don't want to leave you but I don't know what to do." We stood there in silence. Neither one of us knew what to say. I finally sat on the bed. He sat down beside me. He took my hand and started to play with the ring on my finger. "If you're thinking that I don't want to get married then you're wrong. I think that we should agree to postpone the wedding until we get things sorted out."

"I think so too. I want to be the man who you need me to be. I love you Ang. I will do anything for you." We sat on the bed, held hands and talked. He told me about the fight he had with his brothers and how he never knew that Ron had a mean right hook. He said that Bill talked him into going to talk to a mental healer. I knew this had to work because I loved him and he loved me. That was all that mattered at this point.
