Dusk h.s.

Chapter 72

I wake up in the nurses office with an ice pack on my head. My eyes drift over to my curly haired boyfriend who obviously refused to leave.

"Hi."

When he hears my voice, his head shoots up to look at me. "Aw babe! You're okay! What the hell happened?"

"I just got a little dizzy." I say quietly. He must notice my distance. "We need to talk."

"About?"

"About something that may really change us forever."

We are sitting on the couch. He's farther away from me so I can bolt if I really need to.

"I need to know what you did." I say quietly.

His face is full of confusion. "What?"

"Cut the crap, Harry!" I shout. "Tell me!"

"What the fuck are you talking about?"

"Hunter said that......"

"Whoah whoah whoah whoah whoah, before you even go on, just let me get this straight. We're about to have another conversation about what other people have led you to believe about me?"

I lick my lips, looking over at him. "This isn't funny!"

"And I'm not fucking laughing!"

"Did you hurt someone?" He doesn't say a word. "Harry!"

"I thought I was done worrying about what other people tell you."

"But this is bigger! We were talking about you and I told him that you were a great listener and everything and he just bashed out on me. He said, 'just wait till you're dead'. What's that supposed to mean, Harry?"

"I don't know, go ask him. You seem to listen to everyone else anyway."

"Harry!"

"Ya know what? I'm sick of this, Anna! I can't take it anymore! We talked about this! You want me to compromise with you, but you can't even agree to not let people get in your head!"

"Did you kill someone?"

"Fuck!" He stands up in anger. "No, I didn't fucking kill anyone!"

"Don't yell at me!"

"Well, what the fuck am I supposed to do?"

"You're supposed to tell me the truth!"

"That is the fucking truth! You don't believe me? That's your own goddamn problem!"

"Why would he say something like that when he barely even knows you?"

"I don't know? To fuck with you maybe? Maybe he wants to actually fuck you and thinks this is the perfect opportunity to get in your pants."

I stand up in frustration. "That's not true!"

"And you know what else? You'd probably give it to him just to spite me! I mean, come on. It only took me like 3 weeks to get you to spread your legs for me!"

My jaw drops in shock. How could he say that to me? Like it was a game.

"Why would you even say something like that?"

"I only speak the truth, princess."

I bite my lip to restrain the tears. They betray me by falling. "I hate you!" I try to scream, but my words turn into whispers.

He hears them very clearly though as his face changes. "A-Anna."

I push him away. "No, DONT talk to me!" I say. "Just......just leave me alone." And me, being the emotional wreck I am, runs upstairs and shuts the door, making sure it's locked.

Luckily, he doesn't follow me. Moments later, I hear the front door shut loudly and I'm left alone in the large house with no one.
