Grant POV
After the argument with Cammie I retreated to my room so I could think over what had happened. I pushed the door open and flopped down on my bed before picking up a book and flicking to a random page and tried to get lost in the world of Harry Potter.
When Harry, Ron and Hermione entered the Great Hall for breakfast the next day…
Maybe I shouldn't have been so protective…
(A.n. anything in Italics belong s to JK Rowling)
Harry dropped into a seat at the Gryffindor table, next to George Weasley…
How could she think I don't care about her?
"Malfoy" said Ron, sitting down on George's other side…
It's not my fault I couldn't come and see her when she was in Virginia
"Nearly wet himself" said Fred, with a contemptuous glance at Malfoy…
I think I'll go and apologise
So I got up of my bed threw down the book and walked out the door in search of Cammie…
Cammie POV
I lay on my bed lost in a world of thought not wanting to leave or speak to anyone when there was a gentle knock on the door.
"Go away!" I said irritably thinking it was Grant and not wanting to talk to him.
"Cammie it's me" came the voice of Zach as he opened the door.
"Hey" he said softly looking deep into my eyes.
"Hey" I replied turning away so I didn't meet his gaze.
"Why did you say all that to Grant?" he inquired cautiously as if scared to approach the subject.
"I was fed up and angry and… and I don't know what came over me" I admitted faintly feeling ashamed.
"But you do know he does care about you, Don't you?" Zach replied trying to probe deeper into the depths of my eyes as if trying to read my mind and tunnel through my thoughts.
"I do I was just angry that he was trying to control what I do all the time, I can take care of myself but him and my dad don't seem to think I can and It just gets on my nerves! I know that they love me and want to look out for me but I'm capable of looking after myself because I've done it so many times before" there was a hint of sadness laced into my voice as I said this and Zach must of picked up on it as he said
"Well if it means that much to you is think you should apologise otherwise he's going to sit there and blame himself. So I think you should tell him what you just told me and make- up"
Listening to this made my anger ebb away and think clearly because, truth be told, I don't want to be angry with my brother, because he means a lot to me and fighting doesn't show that, and besides maybe his over protectiveness was a good thing because you need someone to look out for you in life.
"Yeah your right" I said slowly "I'm going to go find him now thanks for all your help" I said turning to meet his eyes for the first time as I left the room "I know where to come if I ever have a problem because you're a really great help and I don't think I'd ever even consider making up with Grant if it wasn't for you. You really do make a difference to my decisions… so … thanks"
"It's no problem "He replied still staring into the depths of my eyes "I'll always be there to help you when you need it."
I turned and left the room and walked down the hallway In search of Grant when I walked into something tall and hard and when I looked up it turned out to be Grant.
"I… um… I er…" we both stuttered
"You go first" again we both said in unison
"I'm sorry , I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions about you and Zach I guess I just didn't want to see you get hurt and I shouldn't have shouted at you" he said
" it's ok and I'm sorry too I shouldn't have said that you don't care and that you've never been all big-brothery before because you have, you always have been and always will be even when we're old and wrinkly we'll still be there for each other because that's life always has been always will be, I know you care and I know you were only looking out for me and didn't want to see me get hurt because your my brother always have been always will be and that's the way of life" I said a smile coming into my voice towards the end as we confirmed our forgiveness with a heart- warming hug
