My mom wasn't happy at me moving out of the neighborhood and in with harry. But the cat was already out of the bag and it seemed like any one who cared already knew Harry and I were together since that article.
I decided I wasnt going to tell her about where I was previously. I didnt really think it was any of her business and I knew she would definitely freak out and try and pull something crazy.
While Harry and I were getting my things from my house, she came over with my dad. Harry continued to gather everything into the U Haul with a few helpers and I went over to my parents.
"I hope you know what you are getting yourself into." My mother said to me. I really didn't know how to respond to that so I just stood there. My mom crossed her arms at me.
"That's it? No explanation. No apology for what you are putting me and your father through?" She asked.
"What would you want me to say?" I asked in confusion. It's not like I planned this entire thing.
"How about, I am so sorry mother for putting you and dad in this uncomfortable and public situation that you guys warned me about from the start but instead I went out of my way to chase a gangster!" She started to raise her voice. My dad wrapped his arm around her to keep her calm.
"I mean... I didn't go out of my way." I said quietly.
"Okay, Hunter that's enough." My dad said trying to mediate the exchange.
"Ryan, she's going to get pregnant and be out on the streets wishing the year smoking crack!" My mom said. I rolled my eyes.
"You don't know that." My dad comforted her. I scoffed at how dumb they think I am.
"Okay, great thanks for the farewell you can have the house back in 10 minutes, we're almost done." I said as I turned on my heel because I was over this conversation.
"Tell your boyfriend to get over here." My dad said. I sighed and gestured for Harry to come out to the curb with us. He came over and interlocked my hand with his.
"Harry, I'm Ryan, I wish we didn't meet under these circumstances but I do appreciate you helping Hunter with this crisis she's having." My dad said and reached his hand out to shake Harry's. Harry reluctantly took it at the back handed compliment. My mom looked disgusted at Harry's tattooed arm.
"I'm very lucky that she has allowed me into her life." Harry said. My mom rolled her eyes and was about to say something before my dad tightened his grip on Harry's hand and cut her off.
"I just want to tell you, that your business is your own, but if my daughter gets wrapped up in it in anyway, regardless if it comes back to my wife or I, I don't care who you think you control, because I will come after you, with everything in my and my wife's power. I know you don't like your face on the news. But imagine it plastered on every billboard, every channel, every newspaper and article worldwide, because you did something to our daughter. You're her first real boyfriend so I know there is a clock on this little relationship you have here, but when time runs out, you will let her go." My dad said in a serious tone that he's never even used on Seth before.
"I'm glad that you care about her as much as I do and that you would be willing to go to the ends of the earth as well. However, Mr. Kohls, I don't appreciate being threatened." Harry shot back at him respectfully, though he had a tone of authority that was greater than my fathers. They both let go of their hands and Harry took mine again.
"Hunter, when you come to your senses you know you can always come back." My mom said angrily and she stormed off and my dad followed her.
"Well that was uncomfortable, how was it for you?" I asked Harry. He smiled.
"It was fine actually." He said and picked me up in a hug and twirled me.
"Everything you need is loaded up and if we forgot anything I'll get one of the boys to grab it. But right now I want to take you home." He said as he spun me. I laughed and hugged him tight and buried my face in his neck and let my legs lift up off the ground. Once he put me down he leaned in to kiss my forehead and led me back to his car. The people who helped us already took off in the U Haul to Harry's house with the bigger things like my vanity and desk and chairs.
He opened the passenger door for me and helped me in. It was his black suv so when I stepped up he punched my butt. I tried to smack him but he was too quick. He went over to his side and we both buckled up to start the drive to his house, and also my new house.
"Say goodbye, cuz you will never come back here again." He said as we drove past my parents house. I stared at it for a long time and watched the big house grow smaller as we got farther away down the hill. I was driving away from my childhood and my family. All of the memories of everything were in that house. The fighting with my siblings and parents. So many parties and random strangers my mom new and the many nights Brenna and Jaden stayed the night, all just going in a lock box in the back of my head as the past. I turned back to face the front and look onward at the sun as we got out of the neighborhood gate for the last time.
I looked to Harry who had put his black sunglasses on and smiled at him. He smiled back and put his hand onto my thigh and started to trace "I love you" with his finger.
I took a deep breath and exhaled, fully letting go of my past and parents.
