Threatening

Chapter 10

I felt some sort of guilt throughout my body for what I did to Harry but ever since I've pushed him out of my life everything has gone back to normal. Though my mind still thought about how he said he loved me. Never have I been in an actual relationship with someone so those kinds of words were somewhat new to me. I haven't seen him in three weeks and he tried to message me but I just ignored it. Kaitlyn has forgiven me for how she acted towards me and I forgave her too and made up with my mom. Also, I finally sent in my college applications and in a few weeks I should start to get my acceptance letters back. My mom sat in the drivers seat and looked over at me as we came up to a red light. 

She sighed. "Have you spoken to Harry lately?"

"Why are you brining him back up." 

"He called me the other day asking how you were.." She paused and the car started to move again. "You really hurt him Alex."

"I hurt him?" I questioned in disbelief. "He's the one who hurt me.." I trailed off, taking a sudden interest at the moving buildings out my window.

"You know that's not ture. That day he walked out he-"

I cut her off. "Can we just change the subject." She shot me a glare and then stopped talking. The car ride was much more quiet than before.

Today is a day I've been waiting for since last year. It was an annual charity even for children who have down syndrome and every year my mom and I would also go and donate up to $500. It always made me feel good about myself to go and cheer the kids up. Seeing a smile on their faces really made me happy and brought so much joy to my mom and I. So I did not want my past with Harry to ruin it.

I walked over to the 10-12 year old group of girls. Every time I came here I always brought a little makeup to give the girls a makeover. I approached a girl who had beautiful curly hair and what looked like to be her brother sat with his back against me. I stopped in my tacks and looked at the back of the boys head and it looked just like Harry. Brown curls flopped on his head, sitting tall in the chair. It couldn't of been could it? He's never mentioned a sister, let alone one who had down syndrome. I slowly picked up my pace and carefully placed my hand on the girls shoulder, eyeing her brother.

"Hi sweetie." I smiled at her and she gave one back. 

Suddenly the girls brother turned around and looked me straight in the eyes. It was Harry. I couldn't believe it. My mouth fell open and his face flashed with confusion.

"Harry?"

"Alex?" We both said together.

I couldn't get any words out and he stood up and towered over me. He lightly placed his left hand on my waist and looked deep into my eyes. 

"A-Alex, what are you doing here?" He stuttered.

I quickly snapped out of confusion. "I-I come here every year. What are you doing here?"

"My sister." He paused and looked back at her then back at me. "She has um..." He stopped and I could tell he was very emotional about it by the look in his perfect green eyes. "Alex can we go talk somewhere else?"

I nodded my head and then he grabbed my hand and lead me into a lightly lit hallway, by the restrooms. I stood with my back up against the wall and his body was lightly brushing mine. His strong arms pressed on the concrete wall above my head. There was a silence between us as we just looked into each others eyes, lasting only a few seconds.

"Harry, what I said to you a couple weeks ago-" He cut me off.

"Alex how I treated you. I shouldn't of acted that way."

"But you didn't ever do anything wrong to me." 

"I did. I put you in a position that I never should of. I acted like a total jerk to someone who doesn't deserve anything like that. Alex, you're beautiful." He paused and the placed his left hand just behind my ear and rubbed his thumb against my cheek. "I've tried so hard to get you out of my head, but you keep coming back. I thought maybe we could of had something special, but maybe it was just me. I hope you haven't forgotten about me."

"I haven't actually." I quietly spoke. I wrapped my arms around his waist and pulled him in closer to me. The warmth of his body gave my goosebumps.

"Then can we start over?" His warm breath tickled my neck.

I looked him straight into his eyes, his eyebrows slightly frowning. He pushed a strand of hair back behind my ear and wrapped his large arms around my waist. My mind was circling with thoughts. Should I start over with Harry? If I was honest about it he hasn't left my mind either but when I was with him my life began to fall apart and I finally picked it up again. Plus I'd be going to college soon and I don't know if I could leave Harry behind. Then I realized. He was the one I called that one weekend, he offered me a ride home in the pouring rain, stood up for me when we had breakfast that day, and came to comfort me when I was sick. Maybe I was crazy but whenever I was Harry I felt some sort of safety. 

He cared about me.

"I'd like that a lot." I whispered into his ear. 

He leaned into kiss me but I jerked my head away and placed my finger on his lips. "We need to get back to your sister."

He shrugged his shoulders and pulled away from me and grabbed my hand. My hands looked so small in comparison to his but I kind of liked it. He smiled at me then pulled me to his side and walked me back to where his sister was. When we came back she started to yell out to Harry. She was laughing and giggling as he made silly faces at her. He pulled up a chair for me in front of her and I sat down grabbing my little makeup bag. I pushed back her curly locks and pulled out some cherry lip gloss. Right before I put it on her I glanced over at Harry and he had the biggest smile on his face and mouthed out the words 'Thank you.' 

"So what's your name sweetie?" I smiled.

"Luhee." 

"That's a beautiful name Lucy." I exclaimed and then popped off the cap to the lip gloss.

As I dabbed a small amount on her lips I could feel Harry watching me. I glanced over and he flashed that beautiful smile of his. I was happy I decided to start over with him. Things started off rocky but maybe now that we understand each other things will work out for the better.
