Chapter 5

                 

Harry reaches for my hand and grabs it and for a second I felt my heart stop. His warm fingers wrapped around my hand, his eyes are looking at me with all desperation as if he is guilty of a crime he didn't do.I don't want to give Harry what he wants which is kindness. He was so unkind when I met him. He even hurt me more than Makayla did! I look at him blankly and trying to make a disturbing face and say:

-      What do you want from me Harry?

-      We need to talk. But not here, somewhere else.

"Why? Afraid that Makayla might see us or that someone's filming us and will ruin your reputation that " the popular guy talking with bullied girl"" I say this with sarcastic hand quotation. Harry feels filled up from me and he doesn't want to lose his mind so takes a deep long breath and he says "This is the 100th time I say I don't fucking care about Makayla or if anyone's filming us! Just come with me because I want to talk to you. C'mon please! You're really mean. I'm tired I've been following you the whole day and this is what I get. You being mean. Ugh." He puts his hand through his hair and his face is so beautiful I feel really sorry so I say:" Okay fine look I'm gonna go with you to talk but this is the last time okay? I'm not going a guy who hurt me once" He looks at me staring and he makes a sorry face" Look Ave, I know I hurt you I'm really sorry I wasn't conscious of what I was doing but you've got a sweet fragile heart and I didn't know about that. I'm really sorry. Do you want me to announce it in front of the whole school? I will-"I cut him off before he says anything "No. I don't want you to apologize for me in front of everyone. I'm fine."

-      You know what? I'm gonna do it so you could believe me and I don't care what people will say I just want you to know that I'm really sorry.

I was going to say no but he directly ran to the announcements room I ran after him and he just stood there holding the microphone. He speaks the following words : " To all students in this high school, I want you to be witnesses of what I'm going to say. These words are for Avery Kalvin. Yes. I've hurt her and I wanna tell her that I'm really sorry. Ave I wasn't conscious of what I was doing or saying. Please forgive me. I really am sorry." I was the whole time standing with one hand on my mouth and tears at the edges of my eyes. I am really touched. Nobody has ever done that to me. Like N-E-V-E-R. I run and hug him and say thank you. The moment I swung my arms around him he held me closer and tighter and I feel his breathe on my head and he utters the words: you're welcome. I tried stepping back but he was still hugging me, I looked up at him (yea he's taller than I'll ever be) and say "Okay you can let go of me right now. It was just a little bit of excitement that made me hug you. It's nothing more."  Harry looks at me and smirks and after that we go to Starbucks to talk. I still have no idea about what he wants to discuss. I sit nervously and put my backpack beside me. Harry orders Iced Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha and I take Ice Salted Caramel Mocha. Harry stretches his legs which obviously don't fit under the table so he puts them beside my chair. When we set everything he starts talking:

-      Look Avery I want to tell you that I really am sorry and I know I said it for the hundredth times but I really am. Plus, I was um... Up all night... I was um... thinking about you. I literarily hate myself for hurting you and I um... Like you. There I said it. I really do."

The words "I like you, I really do" echoed in my head and I felt like you just poured a bowl of cold water. I feel the blood rush through my veins into my heart that's already beating 1 million beats per second. I reply "Um... Harry... I don't understand you. Yesterday you were mean and today you are very kind and nice. You're like a puzzle that's hard to put together." Harry looks at me widely; his green eyes staring at me with all kinds of emotions. I feel sorry for what I said but it's too late. Luckily, our drinks arrive and Harry is now talking to the waiter asking him for some Chocolate Old-Fashioned Donuts.

When the waiter leaves, Harry looks at me "I know that you're not gonna forgive me from the first time. I just wanted to tell you that I really love you and you mean a lot to me" he says. "Harry. I'm really sorry but I don't feel any feeling towards you. I've known you for only like 4 whole weeks. Only! You can't love someone from the first site or first conversation." Harry shrugs. He touches my hand and then my heart beats 10,000 more times than usual. He links his fingers into mine and I was going to remove my hand but he tightens the grip. He looks into my eyes in a direct way and he utters "I love you, Avery Kalvin. More than you can ever imagine", he says. I smile at these sweet words and so does he.

Interrupting our moment, the waiter comes and places a bowl full of donuts like 10 donuts. "For whom are these?" I say surprisingly. "For us." He claims smiling. "Oh yeah? Well I'm not a monster with an empty tummy to eat all of these", I say giggling. "Ha-ha. Well I'll eat the rest of them", he talks sarcastically.

We eat the donuts and walk to the park under the flying autumn brown-orange leaves, the slight breezing wind, and the best part was his hands twined into mine. I want to remove my hands but I'm unable to do it because I don't have the heart to. Every 5 minutes, he turns, smiles, and asks me if I'm having fun or we should go back so he could drive me home. It was the first time in like billions of years I feel that someone cares about me, that someone's going to hold me if I fall, that someone's there to help me through my obstacles. What I've learned from my past is that life is given to us to have fun and live it the way we want to. Life is given for us to be happy not desperate and most importantly is that we live our life only once. Don't ever let your past affect your decisions in the future, as well as you shouldn't look back, life's moving so move on.
