Performance of a Lifetime

Come Back

**Authors note** Ok, so this is kinda sad, I cried abit as I typed it.. I couldnt think of a way to end it and so I just wrote this.. uhm.. thats all :)

I sat in my bedroom, that's what I called it now, and looked at the picture of Harry and I sitting on the nightstand. I remembered what had happened earlier and tears caught in my throat as I push the picture down. I wrapped my arms around my knees and softly sobbed into my arms.

"Ava?.." There was a soft knock at the door. I recognised the too familiar voice,

"Go away, Harry. I'm a no body, remember." I said wiping the tears from my cheeks.

"You know I.. Come on.. Can I come in? Please?" His voice caught as he said please and I almost felt bad. Almost.

"I'm leaving tomorrow.." I said changing the subject.

"Leaving?.. Where?"

"To Japan. To home obviously." I said sarcastically. I heard him chuckle and a giggle escaped my mouth. I rolled my eyes and got up to open the door.

"Why are you leaving me?" He said as I opened the door, his green eyes filled with tears.

"Because you don't care." I said looking at the ground. I blinked fast trying to keep the tears from spilling out. He grabbed my chin and lifted it up towards his face.

"I do care. I love you. You know that, so why do you keep making things hard for yourself, Ava? Why?" He said, wiping a tear from my cheek.

"Oh, really? It sure seemed like it when you were with her! You said I was a no one! You even denied us being together! And at the airport, when I came to find you, because I did care, all you said was goodbye. Not nicely either! I tried to give you a hug, but you just pushed me off. I even flew all the way here just to be with you, because I love you. I used money I was saving for college to come here for you! But you don't care. I bet you don't care about these either!" I rolled up my sleeve and showed him my scars. At this point I was balling my eyes out. Before he could say anything, I turned and ran back into my room, slamming the door. I fell onto the bed, crying into the pillow.

"I'm sorry." Was the last I heard from him.

"I.. I don't know where he could be." Anne said.

"I'll go out to look for him. " I said getting up and grabbing my coat.

I walked through the park looking everywhere. I stopped at a booth and asked if they had seen Harry. They hadn't. I continued walking and ended up at the street the bakery Harry used to work in was on. I decided to stop by and ask if he had seen Harry. "Hi, what can I get you?" A man said at the counter.

"Um, actually I was looking for someone. Harry. Have you seen him?" Suddenly, I heard a crash coming from the kitchen. "Harry?" I called moving to the side of the counter.

Harry walked out, scratching the back of his head. "What?" He asked, putting his hands in his pocket.

"I..uh. I'll leave you guys. " the boss said, walking into the back.

"Harry.." I said running up to him. I threw my arms around his shoulders and buried my head in his chest. A moment later he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer.

"I'm so, so, SO sorry. " he said, rubbing my back.

"No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I yelled at you, I'm sorry I blamed you for.." My voice trailed off and we pulled away from each other.

"Let's go back home. " he said, entwining his fingers with mine. We walked out of the bakery and I smiled as I leaned my head into his arm as we walked.
