Learning To Love.

The Only One I Ever Loved

"Alright, I'll see you later Jake. Bye," Harry hung up the phone.

His brother Jake called to check on him. It had been a couple weeks since that scene from the coffee shop. He had talked to Serenity every now and then, but she had a boyfriend.

Jake had planned to come see Harry later today.

*ring* *ring*

Harry went to pick up his phone from the bed, it was his best friend Fernando.

"Hey," Harry's voice a bit low.

"Hey man, where have you been?"

"Eh, been around I guess," Harry felt good to hear from Fernando again. It had been ages since they last talked.

"Still hooking them girls I hear," Fernando laughed.

"Yeah man, they can't resist the Styles charm," Harry chuckled.

"So I wanted to see if you were busy!"

"Well not at this moment, but my brother is coming over later this afternoon."

"Well I'm at the gym, and I wanted to know if you wanted to join me?"

Harry hasn't been to the gym since the death of Shanon. He would spend all his time there when they would get in an argument.

"Ehh, I don't know man," Harry sat down on the bed.

"Come on, I haven't had a sparing partner as good as you."

"I'll see if I can," Harry couldn't say no to getting to the gym one time.

"Alright, if you do come bring your gloves."

"Alright man, bye" Harry hung up the phone and headed to the closet.

Pulling out his gloves......

"Seriously Harry? Going to the gym again?" Shanon was a bit annoyed.

"Yeah, it's better then hearing you nag at me all the time," throwing his gloves over his shoulder.

"Harry, you never even talk to me anymore. You've been to that gym every single day this month."

"Maybe I have better things to do then talk to you?" Harry reached for the handle of the door.

"Are you cheating on me? Is that it? Seriously," Shanon grabbed Harry's arm and yanked him back.

Indeed Harry was, for the past month Harry had been cheating on her. He did love Shanon. But their relationship had been getting a little rocky and he felt like it was a stress reliever.

Harry's phone began to ring.

"Hello? Nows not a good time," he tries to whisper into the phone.

Shanon yanked the phone from him, "hello?"

A females voice was on the other end, "Harry babe. I'm ready to see you."

"Uhm yeah... This is Harry's girlfriend. Oh I mean ex," Shanon shot a look at him, "You can have him."

Shanon hung up the phone and threw it on the bed. Tears filled her eyes. She headed to the closet and grabbed her clothes and threw them in a bag.

"Baby, don't do this to me," Harry called to her.

After gathering her clothes from the closet she went to the bathroom and gathered her makeup.

Slamming the door shut.

Harry tried to grab her, but she shoved him out of the way.

Yanked a dresser drawer open, she began to pull out her bras and underwear.

"Shanon, lets talk about this," Harry begged her.

"Talk about what Harry? Talk about you cheating on me! Talk about you breaking my heart," she looked down at the shirt she was wearing. Realizing it was Harry's she yanked it off and threw it at him, "You can have this back."

Standing up, she zipped her bag and headed to the door.

"Stop. Shanon," a bit of anger filled his voice.

Harry's tight grip on Shanon's wrist left a red mark.

She yanked from him. Pulling the ring he gave her off her finger and threw it to his feet, "You can take this shit back too."

Harry became enraged. Grabbing her by the arms, he shoved her against the wall, "Damn it Shanon. I love you! Don't you understand. She's not shit to me. I made a promise to you. Not her."

Harry let Shanon's arms go and took a step back.

He walked over to the bed. Resting his elbows on his knees. Hands clapped together underneath his chin," Shanon. I gave up so much for you. I changed my entire life just to make you happy. I don't think... No, I can't lose you. Not now. Not ever," tears began to roll down Harry's face.

Finally getting Shanon's attention, she came to his side. And stood there trying to fight the tears. No words were said.

Shanon wrapped her arms around the broken Harry and whispered softly, "Why do you do this to me?"

She knew she couldn't leave him.

His soft teary eyes looked up to her. Choking through the tears he whispered, "Because I'm so in love with you."

"Harry?" A voice called from down stairs, "Harry where are you? It's me! Jake!!"

Jake trotted up stairs and knocked on the bedroom door of Harry's house.

"Harry, mate. Are you alright," pressing his ear against the door, he could hear a faint whimpering noise coming from inside, "Harry? Harry! Open the door."

Not a movement was made. Jake pressed his ear on the door a second time, but instead of whimper he heard a whaling cry. Somewhat filled with pain, and part filled with sorrow.

Jake swung the door open.

And there lied Harry, on the cold hard wooden floor. Curled up into a ball, crying out, "I'm Sorry! I'm sorry. Shanon it's my fault. Baby please. Come back."

Jake ran to his side and wrapped his arms around him to his chest, "Harry, it's alright. Calm down. Every thing going to be alright."

"Why did she do this to me Jake? I loved her with every damn thing I had!" The tears streamed down Harry's face. The raspy voice filled with pain.

"I'm nothing without her. I can't do this. She's the only one I've ever loved."
