Chapter 51: Morning After

"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND?!"

"Nothing happened! We didn't even kiss!" Fred was beginning to feel rather desperate. He hadn't imagined that George would react this way.

"As if Hermione's going to not care that your ex girlfriend touched your fucking dick!"

"Oh, fuck! I have to tell her?"

George stared at Fred in disbelief; "Will you listen to yourself? YOU LET YOUR FUCKING EX GIRLFRIEND FINGER-FUCK YOU! I feel like I should slap you and then kick you out of the flat!"

"George, come on, give me a break! I was drunk and out of my mind! You know I would never do that!"

"Being drunk is not an excuse! You know what? What's shocking me the most is how little you seem to care!"

"I FUCKING CARE, OKAY?!"

"Then why the hell did you do that to her?"

"GEORGE! Stop guilt-tripping me! Hermione and I haven't been an item for six months! Do you think it's easy for me to see you shag a new girl every night?"

"So this is about you not getting any? Because that's just fucked up"

"It's not about getting laid! It never was!"

They were both quiet for a few moments. George waited patiently for Fred's next move; "I'm so fucking desperate, Georgie! I miss her so much, and I can't stand the thought that I might not ever see her again! I haven't heard from her since she ditched me at the wedding. For all I know she could be dead right now! I just needed to pretend that she was here with me just one last time."

"Are you giving up on her?"

"NO! Never! I...I've just been so…lonely – I can't even begin to describe how much I miss her. It seemed as if Angelina understood how I felt. I didn't even bring her back here to shag. She just calmed me down, I didn't feel that constant need to throw up when she was there, and then, suddenly she just did this and that… And the worst part is, that I didn't even stop her! She stopped because I accidently called out Hermione's name! And I hate myself for letting it go that far, but in those few seconds it seemed like a bloody good idea to shag Angie!"

"This has not been easy on anybody but you can't keep doing this to yourself! It's been killing me to see you this miserable and I really wish there was something I could do – there just isn't…" George sighed, "I know that it seems as if it has been a long time since you and Hermione broke up and I know that you have your needs, but what you and Hermione have…or had…is not worth screwing up because Angelina wants your dick for one night! And I'm sorry but you're going to have to tell Hermione what happened last night."

George could tell that Fred really considered his options, "Do you think she'll be mad at me? I mean it wouldn't be fair if she got angry with me, would it? Seeing as we're not together anymore and all."

George put his hand on Fred's shoulder, "Homie, I'm sorry but she has every right to be mad at you."
