Just be with me
We'll figure out
the details later.





Bill Weasley stood in Weasley's Wizard Wheezes watching as witches and wizards came and went, their faces filled with glee. He had volunteered to work under Fred and George in hopes of seeing Bailee, so far he was unsuccessful. He knew not if she was going to make an appearance in the now thriving store, he had only hoped he would see her. Maybe a strand of her perfectly messy hair, or maybe the excited glint in her forest green eyes, maybe her melodious laughter would be heard, or just possibly he would see her beautiful smile once again.

But those were all hopes for Bill Weasley.

Every time he would see a head full of messy caramel hair he would immediately turn in hopes of it being the girl he was hopelessly in love with. Fred and George watched from afar as their eldest brother looked hopelessly around for their best friend, and smirked simultaneously.

At that exact moment the girl in question walked into the now very popular shop in hopes of finding her red headed best friends.

Bill watched as she walked in, a smile growing on her face as she spotted the mischievous twins she was in search for. Bill couldn't take it. His heart and his mind were fighting each other. It had been year since he had met the brunette beauty and he was so hopelessly in love with her that even shattering their ever breaking 'friendship' to tell her he loved her seemed worth it.

All he needed to do was get her alone to explain.

***

Bailee walked out of the twins shop, ready to go home. She had been there a total of three hours before she concluded she needed to go home.

She was on her way to grab her wand so she could apparate away but that was put on hold when her name was called from an oh so familiar person.

She stopped in her tracks, refusing to turn around and face the truth that awaited her so impatiently. She couldn't bring herself to turn around, Bailee was left staring at the ground that had flooded with rain drops, just seconds before.

"Please" the voice begged, in a strained tone.

Just hearing the voice made her eyes sting, she couldn't stop the tears that filled her eyes, the eyes that have seen to much.

Bailee was brought back into her sad reality when a hand gently grabbed her own.

She couldn't seem to move the muscles in her hand, as it laid limp against his. 

"Bailee"

She heard him, but she didn't want it. She didn't want this. Hearing her name come off of his lips was enough to bring a strangled sob to her lips.

"No" she strangled out as she ripped her hand from his. She couldn't. Any confidence she had before about the situation she had thought about a million times over was not enough.

"No" she mumbled again.

"You don't get to do that" she estranged, holding back the emotions that made her feel loved and the same emotions that shattered her heart and her being.

"You don't get to stand here and act like you didn't do anything wrong" she mumbled, just loud enough for him to hear and loud enough to pull at his heart.

"Why!" She screamed. She had finally broke, well maybe not finally, she had always been broken. But now nothing was holding her emotions back. She had turned around and met his hesitant eyes with her fierce ones, ones holding anger.

"You have no right to stand here and beg. You were the one who did this. I just want to know why. Why did you lead me on? Why did you give me hope when you didn't really care? I don't understand and maybe some day I will, but right now I don't. I'm confused, I'm hurt, and I'm angry. You had your head so far up your own ass that you didn't see what was in front of you the entire time!" Bailee screamed out pointing her finger and at him, letting her emotions run free. Tears that were once held in her emerald eyes had since fallen into the pits of her own despair and heartache.

Bill stared at the girl in confusion and awe, the ginger was taken aback by her words of honesty and wondered if there was a hidden meaning.

"What do you mean 'what was in front of you the entire time' ?" He spoke in confusion as he looked to the girl who stood before him with tears streaming down her perfect face.

Bailee exhaled a shaky breath as she looked him in the eyes.

"You don't know anything do you?" She said, the tears that once fell now being replaced by more salty tears. Her eyes ached and her heart yearned, but she wouldn't give in, not yet. She had been strong for so long so why would she give up now?

The young man looked at the woman in confusion and a little bit of offense as he took in her distressed appearance and heartbroken eyes.

"Dammit Bill. You're an idiot, or maybe I'm an idiot. Yeah maybe I'm the idiot for-for" Bailee stumbled over her own words as she gathered up all of her emotions and courage to speak the words that would change her life forever.

"I'm an idiot because I fell for you"

Bailee looked him in the eyes as she spoke the truthful words that fell out of her mouth. She watched as his confused expression turned into one of surprise and regret.

"Bailee I-"

"You know- you know that i cared for you? Did you know? Because everyone said that you did but then you go and act out and throw it all away. So yes, i fell in love with you. And I'm still in love with you, i have been for the past year and god forbid that you don't feel the same way so just please" Bailee stuttered out as she stepped back and put her hands out in front of her as if it was a defense that would shield her from an emotional attack.

Bill stared at the woman who stood in front of him as he took it all in. She was in love with him.

She was in love with him.

holy shit.

Immediately gears turned in bill's mind as he made the connections. It was so blatantly obvious, so in conclusion, Bill was a dumbass. He was a dumbass who let the love of his life slip away from him.

Bill looked up expecting to see Bailee standing there like she was literally ten seconds ago, but she wasn't. She was down the street getting ready to apparate away and never talk to Bill Weasley again.

It all clicked in bill's mind. He knew what he had to do. He would not let her go again. He would not let her slip through his fingers again. So he ran. Bill ran.

"Bailee!" He screamed as he ran to her, adrenaline running through his veins.

"Bill how many times-" Bailee started as she turned around ready to tell him to leave her alone, but was ultimately interrupted, not by words and not by sight. But Bailee was interrupted by the very thing that had started this whole mess in the first place, the very thing that spoke the loving and heart wrenching words that Bailee had come to love and hate.

She was interrupted by Bill's lips meeting hers.

Safe to say, Bailee was shocked. Her brain went to mush as she tried to figure out what just happened and what was currently happening. Her brain slowly regained its cells and Bailee began to realize that Bill was kissing her.

BILL WAS KISSING HER.

Bailee immediately kissed back and wrapped her arms around the man whom had captivated her. The pair had slowly pulled away from each other as Bailee looked up and met his eyes. Bailee searched his eyes for any hesitation or regret but there was none.

Their breaths mingling they stared at each other, and for a good few minutes may i add.

Bailee went to speak but Bill was the one who had spoken first.

"Just be with me, we'll figure out the details later"

Bailee slowly nodded as she embraced him, her head against his chest she allowed herself to rest.

A faint smile made the way onto the pairs faces, but neither could see the others happiness radiating off the other as Bailee had buried her face into his chest, and Bill had buried his face into her neck.

They were content and all was well.
