Angel (H.S AU)

Chapter Twenty-Nine

I put my last suitcase in my parents car and shut the door. I'm off today. The month leading up to this day has been intense, and lonely to say the least. I have barely spoken to Harry since the day we broke up. I have texted him here and there to see how he is, but he never answered. I understand, I hurt him, and he has a right to be mad at him. I should've been honest with him from the day I was offered this job. But it was always going to come to this, anyway. I make sure to go to every gig that his band gets, though I always leave before the end, because I doubt Harry wants to speak to me. They're getting real popular lately, and are getting more and more bookings which is great. 

*Any chance I can drop by your place before I leave?*

I write the text and hover over the send button, wondering if I should even bother asking Harry if I can see him one last time. I think about it for a few moments, and end up sending it. There's no harm in trying. What's the worst that can happen? I go inside and gather the rest of my things and tidy up my room.

*I'm home now.*

Thank god. I'm quite surprised that he actually replied. It's the first time in a while. I go to tell my parents that I'm going out and will be back later, and then head over to Harry's place. I miss him more than anything, honestly. I didn't realise how important he was to me. Our relationship was hard work, but it was worth it, and I realise that now. But it's too late. 

I get in my car and head to Harrys place, my heart beating roughly against my chest the whole drive. When I arrive at his house, he is sitting on the front step. As I expected, he looks pretty terrible. I get out and walk over to him slowly, with no idea what I am going to say, or what he'll say. He looks up at me and I see tears in his eyes. I remind myself to be strong, I am going and I cannot let him change my mind.

"Hey." I say, sitting next to him. He quickly holds my hand, and intertwines his fingers in mine. I frown, this isn't making things easy. We're supposed to be over and this was supposed to be a quick goodbye. "Please don't go. I'm sorry for everything, I love you and I'll try harder. I'm sorry." I pull my hand away from him, "Harry, stop apologizing. I am going, because I know this will be good for me, and you. I'll be back." He shakes his head, "No you won't. You'll make a new life there, and you'll meet someone new and forget all about me." 

"Don't you dare say that, Harry. You mean more to me than anybody, I won't ever forget about you. And I will be back, I promise you." He stands up and I catch a glimpse of his arm. Shit. There are cuts on it, and they are recent. "You cut your arm again." He pulls down his sleeve quickly, "What do you expect me to do?" I sigh, "Harry please don't let me leaving cause this-" He stops me, "Honestly, what do you expect?! I have nothing, Alexa! You are all I have, you came into my life and changed everything and now you're just leaving. What the fuck do you want me to do?" 

I don't know what he means by me changing everything, and I don't know if he means it in a good way or not, but I'm too scared to ask. "Well I'm sorry for everything I did, Harry. I have to go." I stand up. I want to hug him, or get some sort of goodbye, but I can tell by the look in his eyes that he is angry. Not just normal anger, but the kind of anger that he always had when I first met him.

I walk over to me car, and hear the front door open. I look back expecting Harry to be walking away, but I see Louis coming out instead. He looks over to Harry and he comes over to me. "Hey." I force a smile, "Hi." I feel a tear roll down my cheek and he pulls me into a hug. "I only wanted to help him and now I've made his life worse." I whisper to him. "Alexa, no you haven't. You're the greatest thing that has ever happened to him, he just doesn't realise it." I shrug, " I don't know what to do." He smiles, "Go to Amercia, and have an amazing time. I'll make sure he waits for you." He nods, "Yes, you have to go." 

I wipe the tears from my cheeks. "Thankyou, Louis. Please make sure he knows I love him."
