~CHAPTER 39~

~EMILY'S POV~

Everything had happened so fast. I was just talking with Chandler when all of a sudden Harry was standing behind me. The tension between all of us were intense. Even from a slight distance, I could see Harry's fists clenched up into a ball and he seemed displeased. I avoided his eyes. His eyebrows were crinkled and he stared at the two of us with eyes that were cold as ice. I held my gaze toward him and Harry tried to reach for my hand- until I jerked it off. I didn't feel like talking to him right now. He tried to hold my hand again until I brushed it off.

"Oh shit."

I murmured under my breath. Then, things just spiraled out from here on. Chandler and Harry exchanged few words before Chandler excused himself to leave us two alone. He waved goodbye to me and turned around to leave- when suddenly Harry pinned him against a nearby tree and grabbed ahold of his collar. I immediately shrieked and ran over to them. From the look of it, it looked like a fight was going to break out soon. I tried to restrain Harry until he thrusted me off to the side- leaving me helpless on the ground. I couldn't believe it. He had just pushed me onto the ground.

All I remember next was that Harry had started to yell at me. I saw the anger in his eyes and he had spat out some hurtful things. It wasn't fair. How could Harry do this to me also? He was the one that I had depended on and trusted. I pushed him aside when he tried to help me up and slapped his hand away. I looked up at him in my most piercing glare. I was angry at him. He didn't even know the full story of what had happened between me and Chandler. He started screaming at me and accusing me of certain things. Harry didn't seem like the Harry that I had once known.

"What the hell were you thinking Harry?!"

"What the hell were you thinking?! Being alone with Chandler? You know how he is! And don't you know how worried I was? I called you about a million times and you never picked up!"

"We were just talking! And you don't give him enough credit. He's actually a okay person an-"

"Oh so now you are sticking up for him? You didn't have anybody else to talk to for example me? Your boyfriend?"

"That's enough Harry."

"You just couldn't have picked up the phone and called me? You just ha-"

"AT LEAST HE LISTENS HARRY. AT LEAST HE WAS THERE FOR ME. UNLIKE YOU. OKAY? JUST LEAVE ME ALONE. JUST LEAVE!"

I had suddenly exploded. All the times I was disappointed and upset with Harry these past few months just broke me down. I started to sob- and that's when Harry looked at me apologetically. I clamped my hand over my mouth and turned away so I wouldn't have to face him. I grabbed ahold of my bangs and brushed them backwards while wiping my tears with my sleeve. I stood there silent for a moment after my big argument with Harry. He too had been quiet also. I cried for about a few minutes before I took off in the opposite direction. I didn't look back- not even once and ran as far away as I could from Harry. My vision was blurred from the tears while I ran past several cars and pedestrians. My head felt like it was going to literally burst from the noise.

"HEY! MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!"

I heard one of the drivers honk and yell at me from his car window. I didn't even care to apologize or stop to take a good look to see who it was. People swore and honked at me as I suddenly stopped in the middle of the intersection. I felt lost and confused- standing in the middle of traffic as I looked around several times. A truck honked at me while it swerved past me. I felt helpless and idiotic. After pausing for a minute or two, I started running towards the house. All I wanted to do was curl up in bed and just fall asleep. Forget about what had happened today and wake up later as if it was all a dream.
