Harlow

Peter.

I felt my heart speed up my chest feeling heavy he tried to walk towards me but he just made me remember that night all over again. "Don't!" i called bringing my hands up as i took a step back, i felt vulnerable all over again. "Harlow listen to me please" he said softly, "stop no" i felt my hands shaking. I turned up to Gally, "i take it back, i do want a go" Peters head snapped to the side as i punched him before shaking my hand liking the numbness that coated it.

"I deserve that" he said wiping his lip, "oh you deserve a lot of things after everything you've done! what happened to you i heard you die! i crossed off your name on that stupid wall!" i called feeling my anger rise, Gally came up behind me holding me back "Harlow just listen to him, okay you don't have to forgive him just listen to him" i turned seeing most of the group oblivious.

"You're coming with me" i yanked his flannel making him walk, i felt my head fogging up the energy pulsing through my veins. Peter turned pulling me through a door that lead outside, my breathing was still heavy but this time from anger.

"Harlow" Peter whispered, "just stop, stop i need a minute to think before i blow this place up" i paced going all the way to the edge before walking back. "What are you talking about" the wind picked up as i tried to control it, "Harlow.."Peter warned "just stop" i clutched my head feeling the pounding before it vanished completely.

I stood there trying to regain my breath "what the hell was that?" he asked looking around, i sat to tired to pace. I looked up at him, "we have a lot of catching up to do" i groaned feeling my eyes burn.

"So WICKED used you as a weapon of sorts" Peter sat, i sighed "yes i guess" i turned to him. "Now you tell me what the hell happened to you, and it better be good" i warned, he slouched "well there's no good explanation, after i was banished i blacked out and woke up in a lab before some guys shot the place up and left. I felt weird afterwards like i was out of it, then i remembered everything i did and i felt horrible" he paused rubbing his face.

"It sounds crazy but it felt like this force in me was moving me, i didn't know why i did it i just knew i had to. I couldn't sleep when i left, i couldn't eat i threw up thinking about everything i did to you" i could tell it was hard for him. "Sorry won't even come close to fixing everything, but i just want you to know i'm not the same person i was. I would never hurt anyone, Gally made sure of that" my head snapped up.

"What are you talking about?" i asked, "i mean, i'm infected Harlow and i'll be dead in couple days. Gally promised to kill me before then" he said. "What?" my eyes grew big, Peter lifted his sleeve showing his arm that had a small bite and purple veins flowing out of it. "I'm sorry" i said on instinct, "don't be, i deserve everything that's coming" i sighed. "I'm gonna be here- through- through everything" i nodded as i brought a hand up to his arm in comfort.

"Harlow!" Newt called running forward "we have a plan-" he stopped hesitating, "am i interrupting?" he asked. "No" i stood up clearing my throat, "no, what is it? What's the plan?" i asked.

Gally lifted a large iron cover off the cracked ground revealing a tunnel, he slid the ladder down as we all turned to look at eachother. "Be careful Thomas" George said, i nodded. "Gally, take care of these two" Fry told Gally as he stood on the ladder. "Yeah" Gally responded, i went over to Newt who was fixing his shoes.

I saw the faint shadow of someone purple on his hands making my eyes wide "Newt what-" i reached for his hand only for him to pull away, "it's nothing just a bruise" Newt nodded. I sighed hugging him, "be careful" i pleaded. "I will, don't worry we'll be back before you know" Newt said, i nodded before we pulled away. He walked forward following Thomas and Gally who were climbing down the ladder.

When they were out of sight everyone released a breath, I walked over to Brenda pulling her a way from the crowd. "We need to talk" i nodded.
