You were tense.

And it wasn't just that. It was that you could tell Harry was tense too. He was quiet. It made you nervous. Made you wonder if he was regretting his decision. He was loving when you'd first boarded the plane. But once it landed, he hardly looked at you. You were dropped off at your apartment by a taxi but were surprised when Harry asked the driver to wait. He helped you bring your suitcase up to your door and gave you a quick kiss before telling you he was going to have the taxi drop him off at his house so he could get his car. He told you he'd be back at your place in a couple of hours but he wouldn't tell you where he was going. You weren't sure he'd really come back.

You felt sick. You felt terrified you were losing him. But of course, you never deserved him in the first place. He was happily married with a great career and a beautiful daughter with a good head on her shoulders. Life was good for him. And would have been for years to come. If it hadn't been for you. You were a homewrecker.

You didn't have the energy to unpack your suitcase so you sat down and took a deep breath as you dared to look through all your messages and listen to the voicemails. You had envisioned checking your messages with Harry by your side, comforting you and you comforting him, but since he wasn't there you did it alone.

The progression of anger from Fae was easy to see. She first left a voicemail and she sounded more concerned than angry at that point. She was calm.

Then it was a text. And another that could be read as mad. Then the one you read at the airport where you knew without a doubt that she was upset. And then to her last series of text messages sent Saturday morning.

Your silence is telling. So is his. I can't believe either of you would do this. I hope I'm wrong. I'm hoping this is all a mistake and that it's a coincidence that you and my dad have gone AWOL at the same time. But if this turns out to be real, Y/n? I don't think I could ever speak to you or my dad again. I know you'd feel the same if I did this to you.

You sat your phone down and stared at your TV that you hadn't turned on yet. It was impossible to process what you'd just read. It was shocking. You knew it was coming but to see it in a text was jarring.

It took you a few minutes to lift your phone up and listen to your mother's voicemail.

Hey honey. I got a call from Fae and she's really concerned about you and... her dad? She said she needs to get a hold of you. Will you call her when you get this? Or have Harry call her?

And, Y/n, I just want to say too, that no matter what, honey. I love you. You can always reach out to me if you need help or want to talk. Your father and I won't judge you even if it's true. I love you. Call me after you call Fae.

Closing your eyes you lay down on your side. Your mother even knew. Fae must have called her and told her everything. It hurt. But it was deserved. You deserved the hurt and shame. You'd done some very bad things. Your mother knowing was the least of your problems. Your biggest problem was that you were a homewrecker. You'd damaged a family because you were selfish.
