Love Can Be Found in the Darkest of Times

Chapter 10

I still haven't read the note, I don't think I can take it. I know that it will be about me...why else would Harry leave? The tears fill up in my eyes, but the sadness quickly turns into anger. Harry only cares about Natalie! If he actually loved me, he would have stayed! I take a pillow off the couch and sling it across the room. I love him and hate him at the same time! I bat my eye lashes as my vision starts to blur. I haven't left the house since Harry left, three days ago. I've been a wreck. The note has not left the floor, It's still in the exact same spot. It's tempting to read, but I stop myself every time...knowing it'll be too painful. I can't do this anymore! I go back into my room and start packing. I give my aunt a call, asking if I can live with her for while. Hopefully I can get my life back together. It'll take at least two days to get there by train, so I'll leave in the morning. I curl up in a ball and fall fast asleep...

*buzz buzz*

I roll over and hit the alarm. Today's the day I'll be leaving my old life behind. I open my phone and the lock screen is of Harry and me. It's hard to believe that I won't ever see his messy curls, deep green eyes, or cheeky grin again. I shake the thought and quickly change into shorts and a t-shirt. I take one look last look around...wow, this is it. I feel a tear start to form, it's time to go. I roll my suitcase behind me and open the door. My heart stops. I must be dreaming...I run my eyes trying to come back to reality. The figure never left though,the tall, beautiful, curly haired boy was laying across my doorstep.

"Harry?!"

he shakily stands up.

"G-G-Grace,"

Harry pulls his jacket closer to his body.

"I've been waiting for you,"

Harry shivers

"It's been raining all night, are you ok?"

He takes a step forward and reaches out for me, but I keep my distance.

"Listen, we need to talk Grace."

Harry takes another step forward, backing me against the wall. We lock eyes and I want to forgive him so badly, but I can't.

"No, we don't Harry. I can't live like this anymore!"

I push him out of the way and sprint to the car.

"GRACE! WAIT!"

I start the engine and immediately drive away, I look back to find Harry chasing after the car. Soon enough he stops and I watch his figure slowly fade into the distance.
