Chapter 41 - Weird.

~Some things never change ~

Crystal'sPOV

"Harry?"

He turns around.

"What are you doing here?" I ask him, to be more accurate when I came in he was admiring my pictures.

"Well, hi!" He says.

I cross my hands and wait for him to reply back to my question.

"Well actually. All of the staff , your boss and the boys were worrying 'bout ya so they sent me to check if you are fine or not" he says , innocently.

I smile and sit on the couch.

"Well thank you and um- you can sit down. That's no problem."

"S'okay" he says.

"Crystal. Are you fine? I got worried?" Brent comes in shouting.  He looks at me and then at Harry.

His mouth forms an 'O'. He smiles in the direction of Harry and then turns to me "I have to go right now. There are some formalities that I have to complete at my university before leaving so I'll see you later."

"Okay. I'll see you later then." And in nanoseconds he disappears.

"Before leaving? Can I ask where is he going?' Harry asks rather nervously unsure about what exactly is going on. Why does he care? Why is he so interested?

"Well uh... Brent is leav-leaving. He is shifting to L-london cause his parents....." I suck a huge breath cause I know I am on the verge of crying.
"His parents are shifting their business and they are forcing him to join him so he has to go......forever" And I start crying.

Harry looks at me unsure of what to do. He comes and sits next to me.

"I am sorry. I am so sorry. I shouldn't really cry. Oh shit. Well I am sorry. I dont know why am breaking down. That too... in front of you!" I ramble.

"It's okay. I know how it feels when someone leaves when you happen to... love that person." He says and honestly that hurt. I know what he was referring too but right now I am too broken to deal with my past when my present is all ruined.

"Wanna talk about it?" He says.

"Talk about what?" I ask him looking at him confusingly.

"About Brent. Talk about your journey with him so far. It will help you. Well it actually worked." He clears his throat before continuing " in my case."

I can't believe that I am talking to my ex-boyfriend that too when I am crying over the fact that I am losing my bestfriend. What is wrong with you Crystal ? What in the world is actually happening right now ? But for now I just push all of these thoughts aside and think of Harry as someone whom I have never met before but he is someone who cares for people so here is , comforting me.

"Well I met Brent when I shifted from New York to Los Angeles for uh- better work opportunities." Awkwardness seems to fill in the room. This isn't a good idea. My subconscious tells me but my heart says to go on.

"I was offered an apartment in this building and so I happily accepted it. It was my second day here and in the morning while I was on my way to work we accidentally bumped into each other. And so it was the beginning of our friendship." I tell him.

" So we started talking and then every other day we used to hangout. We weren't very formal with each other but as days passed by we just happened to form this unique bond and we understood each other very well. Those days were actually terrible for me cause my past-" I stop for a second to look at Harry who seem to have gained interest in the story of my life. Wow. I just quoted on of their songs. I used to be a directioner and I still am.

"Please continue. Just don't stop and-" He stops , finding the exact words I guess "-and dont feel awkward for any reason."  I nod and close my eyes , taking a deep breath.  This is actually helping me.

"So at that time , life was depressing because of few things that happened in my past. I couldn't or wasn't able to deal with it so I was an emotional wreck but Brent actually made me feel happy. He used to find these stupid ways to make me laugh. So it was actually I got dependent on him. He became a source of happiness in my life." I laugh at how immaturely he used to behave.

"We became best friends. Just best friends. I wasn't in a position to fall in love and things never got awkward between us. It was  understandable that we are just bestfriends and that no matter what we both are here for each other. So like I said that we have an unique bond that is something which is unbreakable. But now that he i-is going , I have no idea what am I gonna do. Cause you see no matter what your past does leaves few scars which cannot be fixed in a way. My life , from last one year , has revolved around him and now it'll be like a huge part is missing and-" I laugh while tears doesn't seem to stop " there is going to be a huge whole in my life and no matter what his presence will always be missed and no person can take his place"  And now its the last level of my breakdown. I cover my face because I really don't want to cry in front of Harry and its all just weird for me and for him too. I guess.

"What was so bad about your past that you just happened to be an emotional wreck and you couldn't seem to recover?" He asks and I am taken aback.

My mouths hangs out open and my eyes are wide enough that my eye balls just might fall.

He couldn't have asked this question. But he did.
