Something Greater (Something Great 2)

Chapter 49

Harry's POV

The drive back to my house was silent. No one said anything, and Jen hadn't even tried to talk or touch me since we left the restaurant. I could see her occasionally glance over to me from the corner of my eye, but she didn't speak.

No matter how over it I thought I was, the subject of Ashton was always going to hit a nerve. Especially when my girlfriend was declaring her love for him, in front of me.

We moved past the issue, we talked it out and I found my closure with it. I guess I just wished she hated him as much as I did, but she had a good heart, and I couldn't be angry with her for holding one of the qualities that made me fall for her to begin with.

In all honesty though, how can anyone be completely over a situation like that? She's the first girl I ever allowed myself to love, he knew that, but he still pursued her. It was him I still held spiteful feelings towards, not her. I found my peace with her, maybe I should attempt to find my peace with him too.

His smug grin crawled back into my mind though, the devious smirk he held when he told me he slept with Jen. Piece of shit, flaunting around he had her- to my face.

Then his pathetic declaration at the club that I would lose her again, and she would go back to him came to mind. I clutched the steering wheel in anger as the traffic came to a halt.

Why the f*ck was there a traffic jam at nine at night? I could see some kind of roadworks happening, and the car in front of me was going ten kilometres an hour.

I was already pissed off, this was just the tip of the iceberg.

"Move!" I beeped my horn profusely and screamed out the window.

"Relax, there's roadworks he can't go any faster Harry," Jen tried to reason with me, but the sound of her voice right now was just the trigger to let off the ticking time bomb of my anger.

"Relax? If I had just said at dinner I loved the girl I f*cked the night I broke your heart, would you be relaxing? You would be ripping my head off right now, I think I am pretty relaxed considering the circumstances."

I didn't scream it, my voice was actually quite calm, but in a aggravated way, and she knew that.

"Whatever, I'm not getting into this again," she turned away from me and out her window.

She had her arms folded, and her seat belt was tight against her which made her shirt cling to her stomach, showing me her small bump.

I don't know why, but that seemed to relax me. Just being reminded that we created that little life together, and we had an amazing future ahead of us clouded any other bad thoughts I was having.

"Jen," I reached over to take her hand in mine, and she pushed it away, not even bothering to look at me.

I deserved that- I was being a tool and overreacting. At some point I would need to forgive Ashton, that's the only way I knew I would really get over this.

He was just such a prick, and I hated that he had even just a little bit of her heart. I always knew he did though, I had written an entire song about it, I guess she had just never really confirmed my thoughts though. I knew the love was different, I was just selfish enough to wish I had all of her love.

I wondered if she ever did end up listening to the song. I made it very clear in our interview together it was directed towards her, and I'm sure she picked up on it.

"Ah Harry, are we going to be going home today or are we going to sit at a stand still while all the car's behind us beep?" Gemma pulled me from my thoughts, and I hadn't noticed the traffic was moving again.
