A/N: So sorry about the last chapter. I know they aren't supposed to break up, but oh well it's my story. But anyways here is chapter 20, enjoy!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later on that day Fred and I were sitting on the stone wall surrounded Malfoy Manor when a limo pulled up. We jumped down and meet the person at the gate. Well it turned out to be my mother, surprise surprise.
"Hello. Mother." I said with emphasis on mother.
"Hello Marie, so how has your stay here at the manor been. It looks like they've been treating you well enough."
"Good I suppose, and yes they have been treating me well."
"Where is you're darling fiancé?"
"Oh, what fiancé?"
"What do you mean by that, you ignorant child?"
"Well for one I'm not ignorant I just love to piss you off, and two the wedding is off. Draco and I are through until I decided otherwise."
"What? You cannot do this to me. There are two hundred people coming to this wedding, this Saturday. There is no way I can tell them the wedding is off."
"Well, you have to. Because unless by some odd miracle Draco can fix this screw up, which he probably can't, then there won't be a wedding. And if by some chance you were in on this then you can just forget about me ever getting back together with Draco." I stormed off with Fred on my heels.
"Good Lord, Marie. You really don't like your mum, do you?"
"No. I don't."
"Why not?"
"Because, don't you see how she treats me and on top of that the way she acts. She thinks she's all high and mighty just because her daughter is one of the strongest witches in the world."
"Marie, I know you probably don't want to hear this but-"
"But what? Are you going to tell me I'm a lot like her. That I sometimes think that I'm high and mighty, that I treat people the same way she treats me."
"Well yes."
I broke down. "How could I become like her. Everything I've worked hard not to be and yet look at what I've become." I just sat there crying and Fred just looked at me.
"Marie, I'm sorry. I never realized-" he sat down next to me and took me into his arms.
"Never realized what?" I said looking into his green eyes.
"I never realized how much I actually loved you, until now."
I was amazed Fred loved me. I leaned forward quickly and forcibly pressed my lips against his in a long lustful, passionate kiss. When it ended, he hugged me closed and kissed my cheek. "Oh Marie," he murmured into my hair, "I love you, I love you, I love you so much."
I grinned at him. "It feels good to say it, doesn't it?"
Fred nodded slowly, staring at me. "Yes it does."
I smiled at him and his apparent innocence. "And it feels good to hear you say it." I kissed him again. (A/N: This is where I originally ended it, but I don't like it so I'm going to add some things.)
It was supposed to be the day of the wedding and I was sitting in my room crying. I didn't want this to happen. I had been so happy with Draco, that is until I found out he erased my friends memories. But I loved him, and I was still carrying his child. Fred and I had only shared a few kisses after the first and I don't know it just wasn't the same as Draco. I tried to make it ok but I couldn't. Today I need to talk to Fred, and especially Draco.
I walked out of my room and just so happened to bump into Fred. "Hey Fred, I was just about to come look for you."
"Yeah I kind of figured that. It was like you were calling me to your room without really doing so."
I smiled. "Sorry about that, I guess I was thinking to hard. Anyways come on in and have a seat." I motioned for him to come in and he took a seat at my vanity, I sat down on my bed.
"So what did you need to talk to me about."
I looked down at my hands. "Well us really." I looked up to see the worry cross his face. "Fred you know that there can't be a me and you. I belong with Draco. As much as I hate to admit it, I do love him."
"I understand."
"Are you ok?" he nodded. "You know if you ever need anything I'm here for you." he nodded again and left. Damn it. Well that went well. I thought to myself. I decided instead of going and looking for Draco I would get him to come here so I closed my eyes and thought of him.
Draco? For a short while no one answered me.
Yeah? Is this Marie?
I sighed. Yes.
What do you want? To yell at me again?
No I was wondering if you could come to my room so we could talk.
Weasley isn't there is he?
No he just left.
Oh so you want me to come over after your lover leaves.
He's not my lover Draco, he's just a really good friend.
Good friend my arse. I've seen you and him together around the Manor, kissing and holding hands.
Draco I'm sorry.
OoOoO… the Great Marie is sorry. Well 'I'm sorry' isn't going to cut it. Goodbye.
No Draco wait. Please just come so we can talk.
You want to talk. Then talk, but I'm not coming to see you.
Fine. I sighed. I love you, Draco, and I don't want to be without you anymore.
Is that all?
Draco, please, stop acting like a child.
Me? I'm acting like a child? Well excuse me for having my heart broken.
You had your heart broken? My friends don't even remember me. Do you know how heartbreaking that is? No apparently not since you were the one who did it.
That was below the belt, Marie.
Yeah well as I remember it you like some things below the belt. I smirked.
Ok how did this turn sexual?
It doesn't matter. All that matters is that I love you and I need you in my life. Our baby needs you.
Oh that's right you are still pregnant.
Don't tell me you forgot.
Of course not, baby.
Whatever, will you please come see me.
Are you finished with your lover?
He wasn't my lover, but yes. I told him today that things just wouldn't work because I loved you. I think I hurt him really bad.
He'll get over it. What time do you want me?
I don't know. But you know what this was supposed to be our wedding day. I sniffled.
Yeah I know baby. Hang on I'll be there in a sec.
I lay back on my bed, closed my eyes, and took in a deep breath waiting to hear him come in but no sound came. Then I felt the bed move and felt the presences of him over me. I peeked through my eyelids and then opened them all the way to look at him. He actually looked horrible.
"Damn baby, it looks like you got hit by the Hogwarts Express."
"Well I haven't been able to sleep with you not next to me."
"I'm sorry."
"Don't worry about it." he leaned down and kissed me. "I forgave you a long time ago."
"It was only about a week."
He kissed me again. "So what, I still forgave you."
I smiled and kissed him letting myself melt into the kiss.
