[HELLO! PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU READ CHAPTER 17 BEFORE THIS! I posted both at pretty much the same time so please go back and make sure you read it!]

Also, play the song when it is mentioned in the chapter.

Harry's POV

I slammed the bathroom door behind me, leaving Nora inside.

"I don't need you, Harry"

Her voice ran through my head, repeatedly, making me feel insane. I ran over to the ring and picked up my hoodie. I threw it on and pulled the hood up over my head, tucking my hair inside. I put my air pods into my ears and blasted music. I walked over to a punching bag and let loose. With every hit, I felt more and more emotion. The whole world around me stopped. Nothing else mattered besides punching the absolute fuck out of this bag right now.

"I don't need you, Harry"

"I don't need you, Harry"

"I don't need you, Harry"

After everything I did for her, it still wasn't enough. It will never be enough. I might as well quit everything at this point. I do all of this for her. I work for her dad, for her.

I let out one last punch before turning around and grabbing my belongings. I could sense the stares around me, but I did not care. I walked out of the ring and briskly out the door, ignoring everyone on my way out, including Kane.

I walked to the parking lot around the corner and unlocked the doors to my black sports car. I threw my bag into the passenger seat and bent down to get into the driver's side. I clicked my seatbelt and started the engine, pulling out of the driveway and onto the street. I looked both ways before turning left down Main Street.

I just drove, with no stopping point in mind. I continued to blast music through my air pods as the acceleration of my vehicle sped up every time I was reminded of her words. I looked down at the gauge which read 110MPH. I sliced through other vehicles on the road, ignoring all road signs and street lights.

I continued to drive up a nearby hill, winding through cars on the opposing side of the road as the incline continued that overlooks the city. Then, I looked into my rear view mirror to see flashing lights.

"Fuck" I mumbled, making a split decision on whether to stop or try and lose the police.

What would Nora do? Doesn't fucking matter anymore. Let's ride!

The song, "No More Sorrows" by Linkin Park played in my ears as I floored the gas pedal, bringing my speed up tremendously, winding through the loopy road, trying to bypass slow vehicles. My mind was fogged as I entered fight or flight mode.

As the lights in my rear view mirror heavied, the sound of more sirens behind me played in the distance.

I finally made it to the top of the hill, where I planned on getting out and enjoying a nice calming view, but obviously I couldn't do that now. I looked out my side window as I passed the lookout.

Before I could even think, I felt the impact of another vehicle slam directly into me, the front of our cars running into each other.

It felt like slow motion. Debris flew everywhere, my bag spilling open and the contents flying everywhere. My body was flying into the air, somehow I wasn't even in my car anymore.

I felt my life flash before my eyes, memories from my childhood flooded back, Nora's hair flowing as we kissed in front of that fire as teenagers. It was all coming back to me.

Suddenly, I felt my body collapse onto the hard asphalt, bringing me back to reality. I laid there for a few moments, trying to understand if I was still alive or if I was dead and reached hell.
