All I Need is You, Chocolate, and this Photograph
Chapter Two: Understanding and Tag
Flash Back from last Chapter:
Reese smiled at Fred's back and then called to George and Angelina, "Hate to break up a happy couple, but as you guys can see Fredrick is a little heartbroken after what he just saw." he said as he sent up blue sparks. Angelina and George looked up and saw Fred flying away, and Angelina's heart broke into even more pieces. She got onto Georges broom with the help of George and they flew back to the burrow. Both Angelina and George looked for Fred when they got to the Burrow but couldn't find him and decided to head to bed.
The next morning Fred had gotten up earlier than normal and ate breakfast and went for a walk. In his head he was debating over what had actually gone on, and what he should do.
His brother, his TWIN brother, swore, and acted like he liked Alicia.
'Could I be making a big deal over nothing'
'Probably'
'But what if I'm not'
'Only one way to find out'
'I guess.' he told himself 'But maybe I need to be there for her as a friend like old times, since we haven't talked like that in a long while. I need to be there for her, she's one of my best friends, I cant lose her over something stupid. I guess Ill talk to her today, because after all she is and always has been, my best friend no matter what was happening!'
Fred then turned around and started walking back on the path towards his house.
While that all happened Fred, here's what was happening at the same time
Angelina woke up due to hearing someone's footsteps walking by their room. She got up, took a shower, got dressed and made it so she was presentable. After all she didn't look to good but was looking better than she thought she would. She had horrible dark circles under eyes, crying all night helped put those there.
She went down stairs and to the kitchen to have breakfast and as she walked in she saw the back of Freds head going through the door. She was going to follow him but her stomach said other wise, since she hadn't had anything to eat since yesterdays breakfast.
So she sat down and started debating with herself. (everyone else came to breakfast at this point and there was kind of an 'awkward' silence above the crowd.) 'What if Fred thinks I like George or something, and he never talks to me again'
'Your kidding yourself, he is your best friend and always has been. Just because you guys havent talked like friends in a while about that kind of stuff doesn't mean he isn't your friend. Talk to him and explain everything'
'Wait why would he care what's going on he doesn't like me like that'
'You never know.'
During breakfast everyone kept sending glances at Angelina, who didn't seem to notice or didn't seem to care.
When Angelina finished eating, she decided to see if she could go find Fred.
So she started walking down the path near the lake and after about five minutes of walking, she found who she was looking for, he was walking and jus staring at the ground.
"Fred!" she called out to him.
He looked up at her and kept walking towards her. As they approached each other she smiled. They both stopped and stood there.
"Hey Fred!" Angie said as cheerfully as she could manage.
She didn't know what was going to happen, but she hoped what ever happened that it would be for the better.
"Hey Ange." he replied
"ah Fred?…" she hesitated "Yeah, Ange?" he asked
"Umm, about last night, ah, Reese said you saw George and me, it was not"
She was cut off by Fred who said "Ange, its okay, you don't have to explain anything, you're my best friend, and I understand, you like George, he likes you."
"Fred you have it all wrong!" she cried She couldn't believe what she was hearing, almost in tears she listened to what Fred had to say.
"Ange, I get it, Im not dumb, I"
"FRED! LISTEN TO ME! You don't get it." She yelled He looked at her confused, about to open his mouth to say something Angelina cut him off.
"Fred," she whispered pleadingly "please just listen to what I have to say before you accuse me, and especially at a time like this, I need you!" She looked up at him with tears in her eyes. "Please just listen Fred."
He looked at her face for a moment debating, then said "Alright Ange, Ill listen." without looking into her eyes.
She had a pleading look in her eyes hoping he would look her in her eyes. With no such luck she decided to jump into his arms wrap hers tightly around his neck, hugging him. He was baffled that she just did that, and it took him a minute to realise why. He wrapped his arms around her waist in a friendly way.
Holding her close, he felt her tears seeping through his shirt. So he whispered in her ear, "Come on Ange, theres a bench right up the path. Lets go sit down and we'll talk"
"A'right." she managed to choke out. Wiping tears away from her eyes.
As they walked down the path to the bench side by side she leaned into him and he had his arm wrapped around her waist in a friendly way. She knew by this that he would understand and he would be there for her to help her through it all. She knew it was going to be like old times again. It had been about 6 months since they actually had talked friend to friend because of everything that had been happening. She just had to let him get closer than they ever had been, and she had to open up, and it scared her.
It felt like she was Rapunzel and had to let her hair down so someone could climb up and get inside the tower, which in her case was her, just so they could get close enough tot her and know everything. She was scared. How was she suppost to let someone get close when for so long that's what she had feared?
If she let them close, would they use her? Make fun of her? Hurt her? They were all the questions she was scared of.
As they neared the bench Fred looked at her and smiled.
"Alright Ange, whats up?"
"Fred, before I get into that, I want you to know that George and I are just friends. He like Alicia and was just helping me out, he was just being a friend, he wouldn't have lied to you and if me and him were dating you would have known. I wouldn't keep something like that away from you. Nothing else. Okay?" she said reassuringly
"Okay, I believe you." he said with a smile.
She didn't hear any doubt in voice, so she knew he was being truthful.
"Alright, Fred, I didn't mean to push you away last night. It was just, I mean I should have just stayed and explained everything to you, but I was scared, upset, angry, surprised, shocked, I just didn't want to be around anyone at the time." she said looking up with tears streaming down her face.
He smiled "Angie," she got quiet, he hadn't called her Angie for months. "Its okay, but what are you upset about?"
"hh-hh-hh, hhe, he, he, he, He killed her FRED! He freaking killed her." She screamed her tears burning her cheeks, it was like a thunderstorm, the tears just kept coming, like the rain.
"What? He? Who? Who killed who?" Fred asked confused but already had a feeling who did the killing.
"Lord, Vol- Vol- Voldemort," she stuttered with anger overcoming her voice. "Fred he fucking killed my cousin Rachel! He put my brother Josh and sister Lauren in St. Mungos in critical condition." more tears rolled down her already drenched cheeks.
Fred moved closer to her and wrapped his arms around her protectively and held her tight while she cried on his shoulder.
"Angie," he cooed "its all going to be okay, it'll all be okay." he said sounding reassured, but he didn't even seem to believe it himself. He wiped away a few of her tears.
There had to have been a reason he went to Angelina's house. Could it have been to kill her? He thought to himself
She couldn't say anything but "I hope your right Fred, I hope your right." she started wiping the rest of the tears of her face.
"Fred, umm I think I'm done talking about this for now. I jus- I just wanna have fun! I don't want to cry right now."
"Angie, alright we can talk more later, but for now what do you want to do?" he asked
"I don't know." she said getting up She lightly pushed him on the arm and started running. She then screamed "Your it Fred"
She was running and laughing and before he knew it Fred was chasing her and when he finally caught her they were in The Weasley's back yard, and they were laughing crazily.
Everyone who happened to be in the back yard at that time decided to join in. They joined in not only because it was fun, but because they saw how much Angelina was laughing and smiling and enjoying herself and how happy she looked. They wanted her happy for as long as they could. It was the least they could all do.
After about an hour everyone was panting and laughing. Their breath gone and collapsing to the ground. For a while they just sat there catching their breath and talking.
A lil' while after that the girls decided they wanted a girls night out and went to Ginny's room to plan it all out. So Angie, Katie, Alicia, Gabby, Ginny, Mione, and Mandy all went to choose what they were going to do and all that girl stuff.
So after the girls and guys separated, the twins and Lee decided to make more joke products for WWW. They couldn't find Reese, or they would have asked for his help to.
Ginny's Room "So what do you girls want to do tonight?" Ginny asked
"I don't know, but what I do know is that I just want to have fun and not have to care about anything for the night!" Angelina said smiling "Okay then, any ideas?" asked Hermione Katie smiled and said "I got an idea. How about we first get our nails done, head to the mall and get some stuff and an outfit for later tonight, go out to eat and then head to a muggle club, and maybe after that if we are up to it how about going to one of those muggle movies? It'll be tons of fun!"
Everyone agreed and they went to ask for Mrs. Weasleys permission. Mrs. Weasley had doubts but finally agreed to let them go as long to always have two or more people together, at all times, no one was to be alone. The girls all agreed and went to go get ready.
After an hour they were ready and told the boys their plans who then decided they should get a guys night out, so they decided what they wanted to do and asked Mrs. Weasley if they could go get some food and go clubbing. She agreed as long as they abided by the same rule as the girls. They agreed and went to hang out until it was time for them to go.
