Heartbreak Girl (H.S) (New Girl Sequel)

Chapter 28: Worries & Decisions

Ivy's POV

We sat in my driveway, the car in park, neither of us saying a single word to each other. The radio was still just barely a whisper.

My hands were shaking and I felt like tears could fall at any second now.

"Please say something," my voice defied me and came out in a whisper.

"I-I don't know what to say," he shook his head. His hands tightly gripped the steering wheel.

"I was so stupid in high school and people that got hurt that I wish hadn't. I'm not the same person I was in high school," I tried to assure him.

"It's not that worries me, it's the fact that if this Harry fellow shows up, who's to say I won't end up dumped."

I shook my head at him and grabbed onto his hand, "I don't want him, I want you."

Ben looked down at our hands while in thought.

"Let me sleep on it. I'll see you in the morning?" He glanced up at me.

I nodded, "Text me and we can go get breakfast or something if you want."

He nodded and pecked my lips.

"Bye," I weakly smiled as I climbed out of his car.

He sat and waited in the driveway until I got up to the front door, before he pulled out onto the street.

When I opened the front door all I could hear was pots and pans clanging in the kitchen, which could only mean that Ana was cleaning up.

I kicked my heels off at the front door for the maids to clean the bit of mud I had gotten on them, and headed for the kitchen.

Father was seated at the counter, eating his nightly bowl of chocolate ice cream as he looked through the news on his iPad.

"Thought I'd let you know I'm back," I announced.

Ana glanced back at me from where she stood at the sink, washing pots from dinner.

"How was dinner/meeting the family?"

I shrugged, "Ben says they really like me. They're a really cute family."

Father joined in, "Daniel texted me earlier to tell me that I had done well in raising you. He also added that you refused to let Margie clean up everything by herself."

I blushed, "I would have felt bad since she spent so long cooking the meal."

Ana laughed and continued washing.

"Changing the subject," Father chuckled with a bite of ice cream in his mouth. "I chose who I want to stand with me at the wedding."

Ana and I both gave him a look of curiosity.

"Who's that dear?" She questioned.
"Harry," he simply answered.

I'm pretty sure my jaw dropped.

Ana nervously chuckled, "I thought you wanted to kill him?"

"I did," he shrugged. "But we ran into each other a couple weeks ago at a business thing and we talked. We're on good terms now."

Oh Ben was going to have a field day about this, considering he's already nervous about the whole Harry thing. Now I'm gonna have to walk down the isle with him.

"You okay with me picking Harry, Ivy?" Father's question broke me out of my thoughts.

"It's your wedding. We're on somewhat okay terms I guess," I lied.

"Fantastic, I'll call him up tomorrow."
