City Gurl

Chapter Twenty-Four

It is a crime scene. The cops are here and everything. And it is partly my fault.

Harry keeps telling me that it is Oliver's fault, but I won't believe him. But after a while, I begin to wonder, 'Why IS it my fault?' and realize that it isn't my fault at all. But the police do keep asking me questions.

"What was his name?"

"What did he do?"

"What did he look like?"

"What did he sound like?"

It's very annoying. But I must put up with it until my mom and dad come down. I don't think they heard yet.

I sit down on an empty barrel and think about the whole Oliver thing. There's actually people like that? All my life I've lived in North Carolina and climbed mountains, swam in rivers, ate in diners, but only saw rapers in movies. Never in actuality. Guess you can't trust North Carolina when it comes to the real world.

But I'm pretty sure Oliver was drunk, right? He did smell like beer. Are rapers only drunk people? Or can they be in control and rape as well?

I glance outside and wish I never came into this fucking bar. Then none of this shit would've happened. And Oliver wouldn't have gotten away. Now he was a criminal on the run. What if-

My thoughts are interrupted by a male voice. "Hey," Harry says. "Mind if I sit?" I shake my head to show I would LOVE him to sit. So he sits.

"So. You must be really blown away with this whole raping thing." Harry raises an eyebrow. I nod.

"Yeah, this is new to me," I grumble. "North Carolina was so much more. . .uh," I snap my fingers, trying to think of a word.

"Quiet? Controlled? Nicer?" Harry suggests.

"Exactly. Controlled." I sigh, and put my head in my hands. "I don't even understand why the bastard raped me."

Harry looks a bit taken aback. "Well, there are four options. One, he could've known you already and had a damn big crush on you," He holds up one finger to mark that this was number one.

"No, I never saw him before in my life."

"Ok, then. Two, he could've really wanted to have sex and you were the only girl in the room."

"EW. Ok, that's gross, but likely." I wrinkle my nose.

"Three, he could've been drunk. That was probably it."

"Most likely."

"And four, he could've thought that you were hot." Harry says, grinning like a Cheshire Cat. Uhhhhhh. . .

"No. I don't think so." I smile. "I'm not hot."

"Of course you are. You're very hot, I've always thought so," Harry shrugs like it's no biggie, when, in fact, it is.

"You think I'm hot?" I squeak.

Harry now realizes his mistake. He puts his hand over his mouth and blushes. "Well, not that way, but I just think you are. . .um. . ."

I am flattered. And in love. "No, I won't take it that way," I say weakly. But I want to. I really, really, really want to! Why can't he see that?

"Ok. That's good." Harry says, still blushing. "I think I'd. . .better go now." NO!! But he gets up and walks to Bernie, who is talking to a police officer.

Does Harry like me? Does he want to be my boyfriend? Cause I will happily be his girlfriend!!

Byron who??!?!?

I glance over at Harry with his grandfather. His wonderful blonde hair. His beautiful blue eyes. But most of all, his Rey kissable lips. How I wanted mine to meet his one day! Not Byron's. Not Oliver's. Not anyone but Harry.

I only he could hear me sing! I bet he would love it. I would make a love song just for him, he would fall in love as well, and we would date. And kiss. It's that easy. I actually might consider doing it.

"Honey!!!" screamed someone I knew. My mom. Ugh. "WE WERE SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU!!"

"Hi, Mom," I mumble as she embraces me in a huge bear hug.

"How are you?"

"I'm in love."

"What?!?!?"

"Oh. . ." I glance at Harry again. "Nothing."

Mom smiles and hugs me again. Then she frowns. "That Oliver! If he were here, I would smack the shit ou-"

"Gwen!" my dad barks. "Language!" Mom rolls her eyes.

"Yeah, yeah, they're exposed to it anyway."

"Mom, I need some alone time, ok? We can talk later. Go confront Keith. He was drinking."

"OH MY GOD, HE WAS?!?!?!?" Mom explodes. "WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME?!?!?!?" She runs over to the snoozing Keith and shakes him awake. "WAKE UP!!!"

I giggle and turn back to Harry, who catches my eye and winks. I blush.

Love is a wonderful feeling.
