Chapter 15: Heartbroken

*Not gonna lie...actually tears up writing these...UGGHHH EMOTIONSSS!*

(Oliver's Pov)

During the Triwizard tournament is was definitely an intense game. The entire time Cecelia was havin a rough time through it. She was just anxious the entire time so I managed to stay by her side and help her through it because I didn't like when she was sad or got anxious so I never left her side.

I was glad I could be there for her though and make her smile and laugh even though it was very hard right now cause Harry and Cedric were neck in neck durin the final round. Cecelia held onto mine and her father's arm while chantin for her brother to win which makes sense due to their close bond.

However...her hand started to tremble which made me confused, she told me she didn't have a good feelin about anything but I told her it should be fine...but after a while...things weren't fine...

Harry came back but on the floor was Cedric...he was dead...Harry started to cry as he explained ta Dumbledore what happened and that's when everyone went silent...Cecelia and her father went down to see what happened and that's when her father screamed and cried...

Cecelia stood there and froze...not knowin what to do as her brother just died...I knew that it wasn't goin ta be good what happens next so I quickly pushed passed people just in time when Cecelia fell to the ground and screamed in agony...She screamed in pain as I quickly ran to her and held her trembling and shakin body.

Her father cradled Cedric and cried as everyone just went silent...Cecelia cried and went over to her father and hugged him and hugged Cedric...my heart broke...my heart literally broke...this wasn't supposed ta happen and I definitely never felt more heartbroken in my life that the love of my life lost one of the most important person in her life...

After a while, Cecelia managed to pass out in my arms. I sniffled as I tried so hard not ta cry but it seemed right ta in this moment as everyone else was. When the tournament was over, we all headed back to Hogwarts. Dumbledore told us school will be cancelled for the week so that's a good thing.

Cecelia's father told me ta look out for her no matter what because this will be one of the most heartbreaking things ever and he can't lose his daughter too...I made him that promise and I will always keep that promise.

Her father told me that Cedric would be buried at the Little Hangleton Graveyard which made me nod as I would have ta tell Cecelia that later. I headed to her dorm room and gently lied her on her bed...I sighed and sniffled as I brushed a strand of hair out of her pale and red face...

Her cheeks and nose were red, her lips were chapped, her face was pale and eyes were probably puffy and swollen along with her throat from all the screamin. I caressed her cheeks and sighed as I couldn't leave her so I stayed and made sure she wouldn't wake up alone.

Eventually everyone else came in to see how she was. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny and the twins Fred and George. They all looked miserable too as their eyes were a little red and puffy from cryin as well. They quietly approached us "H-How is she?" Harry whispered, I shrugged "Sleepin so that's good" I whispered,

Everyone nodded "for now" Hermione said, I just sighed and nodded "Harry...what happened?" I asked, "H-He got trapped in the maze a-and I tried to save him...I really tried...apparently there were dementors too a-and once he ya know, he told me to bring his body back to Cece and their dad...I couldn't leave him there...I couldn't" he explained as tears welled up in his eyes again.

Hermione rubbed his back as I nodded "Cecelia doesn't blame ya Harry...no one knew how this was supposed ta go down...but definitely not like this" I said, Harry nodded as I rubbed her back or ran my fingers through her hair "She's gonna be so heartbroken" Ron stated,

We all nodded "She just lost one of the most important person in her life Mate" "So of course she will" The twins said, "Just promise me lads that you all will check up on her cause I doubt she'll want to leave this room for a while, so just whenever ya have the time check on her and ask if she needs anything alright?" I asked,

Everyone nodded which made me sigh and nod as we waited for her to wake up...I could only hope and pray she doesn't do anything drastic or do anything ta hurt herself...I don't think my heart could handle it...

I fluttered my eyes open groggily to the rain pattering against my dorm windows. I blinked a few times and sighed as I looked around waiting for my eyes to adjust to the room around me. I saw Oliver, Hermione, Harry, Ginny, The Twins and Ron at the edge of my bed.

I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion as I sucked in a deep and painful breath, like my heart was actually broken and everythin in my body shut down. Oliver caressed my cheek and rubbed my head "W-What happened?" I asked hoarsely and cleared my sore throat.

Everyone looked so sad which made me confused "D-Do you remember what happened?" Harry asked softly, I thought for a moment and remembered yesterday at the Triwizard Tournament...Cedric...dead...My eyes widen as I sat up and groaned in pain as my vision blurred and head and heart pounded. Oliver rubbed my back as the others put their hands on my legs or arms "I-it was just a nightmare" I explained,

Everyone looked at each other "Cece-" Hermione said, tears welled up in my eyes "Please tell me it was just a nightmare...Please tell me it was all a nightmare" I explained in a whisper. Everyone looked down avoiding my eye contact.

My bottom lip quivered "Ceddy no...No no no no no" I said and shook my head as my hands trembled and tears streamed down my face. Oliver held me close as Harry sat on the other side of me and hugged me too "I'm so sorry Cecelia, I'm so sorry. I tried to save him, I really tried" Harry explained as he lied his head on my shoulder.

I choked on sobs and started to cry yet again, "H-He promised me. H-He'd promised h-he'd never leave w-what am I s-supposed to do now? C-Cedric please, please, please please!" I cried in agony and rambled gibberish at this point, "H-He wasn't supposed to die. I-I didn't even say g-goodbye, I-I didn't tell him h-how much I l-loved him a-and n-now I have t-to live my life alone. Bring him back please I-I beg of you" I muttered between sobs as I coughed and choked on tears and snot.

Oliver rocked me back and forth while rubbing my head and back, "shshsh love, shsh Cedric knew how much you loved and cared for him. I'm sorry love, I'm so sorry" he whispered and kissed my head. My face hurt, my head and chest hurts...everything hurts...Ceddy is dead...my big brother is dead and I didn't even say goodbye...I didn't get to tell him how much I love him and how much he meant to me...I-I didn't get to say goodbye! He wasn't supposed to die! He wasn't!

My world is falling apart, my heart is broken, I lost one of the most important people to me...now what do I do? What am I supposed to do now that he's not here? What do I do without him? I can't live without my brother...I can't live without him!

I cried in agony, I cried in pain and frankly so did everyone else and I don't know if it cause I was crying or they all cared for Cedric like I did but everyone was now crying...I just lost one of the most important person in my life and I'm not sure how I'm going to live now...I don't know how I'm gonna do it...

After a while, Cecelia was finally wakin up, we tried to put on strong faces but none of us had the strength ta. Cecelia looked miserable though as I caressed her red cheek which made her suck in a deep breath.

She asked what happened as if she forgot what happened or doesn't want to admit it. Harry then asked if she remembered anything which caused her eyes ta widen as she sat up too fast and groaned while puttin her hand on her head.

I rubbed her back as she explained it was only a nightmare which only made our hearts break more because she doesn't want to believe it happened...Hermione tried tellin her but she didn't have the strength ta. I'm sure Cecelia knew it was true as she started to cry again...I don't know how much tears this girl has but there's still going ta be so much.

I held her close as she wailed in agony and in pain and muttered through her sobs about Cedric and begged for him ta come back. Harry lied his head on her shoulder and cried too along with the others...this truly, truly broke my heart, but there was nothin I could do besides let her grief...all I can really do is keep that promise ta her father and be there for her...

After what seemed like hours of Cecelia cryin, she managed to pass out again which made us all sigh and sniffle. I gently lied her back on the bed and covered her up with blankets "we should let her sleep" I said, everyone nodded "at least schools been canceled for the week" Ron stated,

We all nodded "Remember everyone, whenever you have time please, please check on Cecelia, we can't trust her ta be alone by herself" I said, everyone nodded and headed out to do their own thing. I still didn't want ta leave so I went to get her water for her throat and wrote her a note tellin her I'll be at the Quidditch stadium practicin...I kissed her head and caressed her cheeks and hesitantly headed out of her room leavin her ta sleep...

(Cecelia's Pov) (A Few Hours Later)

I fluttered my eyes open again and sighed as it hurt to breathe and was hard to breathe...I looked seeing the rain finally stopped but it still was gloomy out...That felt about right for the situation right now...I let out a pained sighed as it was hard to keep my eyes open...I just felt so drained, exhausted and dehydrated.

I looked around seeing no one was in my dorm assuming everyone was in classes or playing Quidditch...they have more important stuff than to worry about me...not like I'll be going anywhere let alone killing myself...I saw a glass of water and note on my dresser which made me sigh as I weakly grabbed both and downed the water and read the note,

'My darlin, ya passed out again from cryin and pure exhaustion. I figured ya'd be thirsty so I left ya some water. Classes have been cancelled for the week so everyone is out and about. I'm at the Quidditch stadium if yer lookin for me my love...I know this is hard and I'm so sorry...but I promise ya that I'm always here for ya...and so are the others...

Just try and get some rest alright, I'll be checkin on ya and havin others check on ya to see if ya need anything...I love you my flawless skater and I'm not goin to stay it'll be okay because I know ya won't believe that but I will say yer not alone...I love you.

~ Your Quidditch Captain Ollie'

I couldn't help but smile softly as I set the card and cup back on the desk and lied down on my bed. I brought the covers over my head and sighed as I stared outside...I still wanted to cry...every fiber in my bein in screamin but I'm so exhausted...I'm too tired...I'm just numb at this point so all I can do is stare blankly outside and drown in my thoughts...I don't know what I'm supposed to do?

I'm just so broken...I'm so heartbroken...what am I supposed to do without my big brother? I can't live without my big brother...I can't...I don't want to...Bring him back please...I beg of you...just bring him back...I'll do anything...please don't leave me here...

(Oop...Enjoy?)
