Alone

Virginie's Point Of View

November 16

"Je t'aime Gynie"  He said to me before completely disappearing from my sight.

I bring my hands to my face to quiet my sobs.  He is gone.  And the fact he just told me he loves me in my language is overwhelming my heart with love.  A love I can't give back to him since he just left.  I breathe in and breathe out as the escorts are showing me the way out.  I look back one last time and follow them to the car.  I thank them and sit in his car for a long time without going anywhere.  I can't believe he was here with me a couple of minutes ago, with me.  Now he isn't.  He is on his way to America, to LA.  I don't like it.

I take my cell phone and text Matt.  I ask him to come pick me up at my dorm before class.  I need to go, I promised Harry I would, even if it's the last thing I want to do.  I drive back to the campus and rush to my room.  I jump on my bed and start crying again.  I never really stopped, but now I don't contain it anymore.  I hide my head in his sweater and hum his smell.  It doesn't help at all.  Everything in my room reminds me of him.  The bike against my wall, the flag on my other wall, the necklace on my neck, my clothes because they are his, the sheets of my bed where he slept with me once or twice.

Sooner than I thought, Matt knocks at my door and by then it was already the afternoon and I hadn't moved and I hadn't eaten.

"Come in."

"Hey, how are you?"  He asks closing the door and siting on the edge of my bed.

I take my head out of the covers and shake it from left to right.  He opens his arms for me to jump in.  I'm glad I have him, because I wouldn't have anyone else.  Harry was my home here and now he is gone.  So now, I'm not only away from my family, whom I miss dearly, but I'm away from Harry too.  Matt is literally the only one I have in the world right now.

"Harry's gone...  I drove him to the airport this morning.  You are the only one I have now."  I start sobbing again and he rubs my back.

"It will be alright.  I'll be with you when you need me.  I promised I would."  He says looking into my eyes wiping the tears under them.

"You promised to whom?  Me?"  I ask frowning at him in confusion.

"No, to Harry."  He says to confuse me even more, but it gets the tears to fall again from my eyes.  "When he came to see you the other day, when you were wearing those high heels, he came to meet me properly and ask me a favor."

"Go on!"  I demand holding his hand in mine getting so charmed and excited to what Harry might have done.  I smile widely remembering how incredible it was to see them meet formally.  It was a wonderful day.

"He asked me to always be there for you, like I always did from the beginning.  He thanked me for all I did for you and how he couldn't ask for someone better to take care of you, because I was making you very happy.  He made me promise and I did."  He says sweetly, quietly, wiping my tears yet again.

I never thought Harry could make me fall in love with him even more than I already was.  This is just how wonderful he is.  He is always asking to someone to be there for me, to protect me, when he isn't around.  He did it this morning too, asking for the escorts to walk me back to my car.  I'm glad he did, because I would have sat somewhere and cried blankly staring at everything around me.

"Thank you Matt!  For everything you've done and everything you are, I love you dearly.  I'm lucky to have you for a friend."  I hold him tighter to me.  He isn't Harry, but it still feels good.
