SOULMATES

IT WAS YOU ALL ALONG?

23
PHOEBE'S POV.

"Why did you do it Harold? I trusted you! Not knowing you had a hand in all of this...why?"

My voice rose through the roof. I was so furious.Harold indeed had a thing With Percy's old friends.
He started distancing himself from that day we ran into Sam and Lucky at the restaurant. He knew I was going to ask him what all that was about she he chose to stay away which made me the more suspicious.Then he showed up this morning to take Xavier to the park. He avoided me completely and w decided to let it go.

I was feeling uncertain about being alone with Percy in the house after my sister almost walked in on us making out. I didn't know what he'd try next and I wasn't trusting myself to be able to resist so immediately he drove out which I was sure he'd come back soon,I decided to join Harold and Xavier at the park.

It was easy finding them because I knew Xavier's favourite spot at the park.Just after a while, I saw Sam and Lucky with another guy troop in. They matched up to Harold who had his back to them all this while. I sat there looking on.

"Sup doc."

Sam said and raised an eyebrow at him with a stupid grin on his face. Harold looked over to me and then back at them. Lucky then touched Sam's shoulder and gave him a wink.

"Maybe later doc. You seem occupied at the moment."

And with bigger grins on their faces they walked away.

" What was that ?" I asked

"I Was about asking you the same thing." He said, refusing to look me in the eyes.

"The other day at the restaurant they acted as if you had something in common with them, like you'll were friends or something and now this. What did they want?"

"Something in common? Oh come on. What can I possibly have in common with these Jerks. Maybe Percy asked them to stalk us."

That was his explanation? Outrageous!

"Seriously? Percy will never do anything like that....didn't you hear Sam the other time? He doesn't even hang out with them anymore."

"You believe that? " he chuckled and I rolled my eyes.

"We should leave." I hissed. He didn't even protest. It was as if he was waiting for me to ask.

"Ok...I'll get Xavier"..

When we got home,I was getting a glass of milk for Xavier when I heard Harold talking on the phone.

"What the hell was that about Sam! I thought I told you to keep your distance anytime Phoebe was around...... What do you mean by calm down ? she's now suspicious of me! .......if she get to know that I'm involved in what happened three years ago then I'm ruined!...... Oh really? You think it's no big deal that I had her living a lie for years? I have done everything you asked of me, you stop bothering me now ! I will not spare you if you ruin everything we fought so hard to achieve these years..stay away from my family you hear me?"

My heart began to swell up in my chest and it hurt so badly.
Harold? What did he do? Nothing was making sense to me. He would never hurt me in anyway would he? What was going on?
I clinched onto my chest in pain.

His voice snapped me out of my semi panic attack.

" shut the fuck up and listen to me ok...I didn't come this far to have Phoebe doubt me now. You'll have to do only as I say..I owe you nothing so leave me the hell alone!...."

I thought I'd had enough and swung the door open, he stared at me from where he stood and I saw shock in his eyes. There was something else too. Fear?

"What did you do?"

I asked in a shaking voice.

"Why did you do it Harold? I trusted you! All this while and you were the enemy? What the hell did you do? Start talking now!!" I yelled

I saw shame in swimming in his eyes this time. He better be so ashamed of himself. I trusted him with my life. I couldn't even imagine what horrible things he must've done. What secrets he was keeping from me.

" its not like that Phoebe.... " he began to say but I snapped at him

"How is it then! I heard you perfectly. I was right behind this door all this while. I heard you Harold....you did something so start talking now."

He tried to hold my hand but I shook him off.

"Don't touch me ! I'm so heartbroken right now. And all this time I was thinking you were sent straight from heaven.... You knew how I felt about him, you saw what I went through after he disappeared on me a day after we slept together and it was you all this time! You Harold,you! You were the one hurting me. You knew the truth I was searching for in order to find closure and you kept it from me. You better start talking.."

HAROLD'S POV.

I couldn't look at Phoebe as she told me how hurt she was . I couldn't believe I messed up big time. How do I pull through this?

What can I even say.?she heard me herself. This was it,the end of the road for me..

" I'm so sorry Phoebe... I did it for you...I wanted you to be happy... Percy was no good for you...."

I tried to defend myself and regretted it immediately I looked into her eyes.she was burning with rage.

"Shut the hell up! You are in no position to tell me who is good and not good for me. Are you good for me then?.... whatever you did, You did it for yourself!!! You selfish......."

I grabbed her arms and pleaded with her to calm down. She fought me with all her strength but I held on tight pulling her into my chest .she screamed and fought more, tears streaming down her face now. Xavier got up from his chair and began to cry for his mother. he thought I was hurting her?

I wouldn't do that. I let go of her suddenly and she was caught off guard. She landed on her butt so hard and banged her back in the wall.she screamed again in pain. I was too stunned by the turn of events to even react. I stood rooted to the spot, my face pale .Just then the door swung hard and guess who? ... My worse nightmare Percy!!!
