Shaking slightly, I sipped my warm tea. The liquid burning my tounge, but I chose to endure it. Me and Harry were sitting on opposite couches facing towards each other. He had made me tea, even after I protested I didn't want any. "What did you mean when you said go back?" he bit his soft lip and lifted his head up. "You know what I meant." I replied, no emotion shown in my tone. "Explain." Sighing, I placed the cup down on the glass table and held my head in my hands. "You've been with at least seven other girls since we dated, why come back?" I muttered, picking at my nails. "You know why." he growled, his voice deep and unsteady. "Frankly I don't." I shot my head up. "This is a waste of time Harry." He narrowed his eyebrows in confusion.
"Where are you goi-" he yelled, following me. "Somewhere you've probably forgotten about." I opened my car door, strapping myself in and then slamming it back shut. Turning the engine on, I glanced into the mirror, Harry was parked behind me. Rolling my eyes, I drove down the street, took a narrow corner and led myself (and maybe Harry) to where we first met.
"Belle, will you just wait and hear me out?" he begged, chasing me down the tiny path. Determined, I carried on walking, knowing exactly where I was going. A large hand grabbed my wrist and turned me around with force. "Listen." he demanded, his chest rising and falling fastly. "You think I don't remember. You think I got over you within months. You thi-" I cut him off, fury raging inside of me. "No, I know. You went out with the girl that first caught your eye." I shouted, cheeks flushing red. "I needed to take my mind off of you." Harry turned his head. "Yeah because 9 girls will surely do the job." Sarcasm dripped off my tounge as I spoke. "That wasn't my choice." he closed his eyes tightly, massaging his temples.
Biting the inside of my mouth, I turned around and ran away. Ran away from Harry. Ran away from everyone staring in disbelief at our little arguement. Finally, I stopped in my tracks and climbed up a large tree. Whilst I was making my way up, a heart with "H+B" had been engraved. This was the tree I and Harry had become an official couple. Crying softly, I lay cautiously on a wide thick branch. Some rain drops started patting on my head. Looking up, a large black cloud was looming over the entire park. Shaking my head, I got out my cell phone. "No signal" Just great.
"Um hey." Jumping in shock, I nearly fell off the branch. It was Harry, his hair completely wet, dimples showing but hurt in his eyes. "Steady." he soothed, climbing over next to me. "I remember it like it was yesterday." Harry almost sang in my ear. All the anger dissapeared. "What was it you wanted to explain?" I blurted, desperately wanting to know.
Shifting over, he took my hands and held them tightly. "Promise not to freak out and run away?" Nodding, I manadged to mouth yes. "It's not too bad." he reassured, smiling softly. "Well in my eyes." he added, laughing, rain drops sliding down his cheek bones. "Well?" I urged, loosing patience due to it was raining and I was frozen. "You cold?" Harry took off his jacket and wrapped it around me. "Thanks." My voice was muffled underneath the coat.
Smoothly, he repositioned himself next to me and wrapped a protective arm around me. His body warmth made the cold go and his cologne was all I could smell again. "Can there be an us again?"
-Flashback-
"Well why don't you just leave like my parents did." I yelled, throwing his old t-shirts at him. His facial features only showing guilt, Harry stared down at the floor. "I'm sorry." he whispered, picking up his clothes and folding them in his hands. "Please." Harry begged, wrapping his hand around my wrist. "No, get out." I hissed, jerking my arm away from him. "Here's your car keys."
-End of flashback-
{ my parents had abondoned me a few years back now, I was forced to look after myself and get my own money to buy food. They took all the money we'd all saved up, all I had left was the furniture and electronics that would soon go on sale so I could pay the rent. I now work in a little shop across the road which surprisingly pays me well and I've got enough money now }
"Not just yet Harry, you've only just came back..." I explained, wriggling out of his coat. "Come on." Harry sighed, climbing back down the tree with me shortly following behind him. We walked in silence back down the path and to the cars. "Follow my car." He instructed, opening his car door and dissapearing inside.
