The Repents

Chapter 4: FlashBacks!

"Ahhh.....!" I sighed as the last lecture of the day ended. It was by far the most exhausting day of the week but then keeping buzy makes you forget all the rest. Makes you live and helps you not to think.
I drove my way home. 'Greenwood High' was 20mins from my house towards the countryside. It was one month ago, when I first walked into this place for my graduation classes. I wasn't interested in making friends and something deep down still twitched me. I had decided to stay focused and study, and to make my way to success I was to forget the past. Even Though it was hard but my strategy was 'Don't Think.'
I walked home straight up to my room. Climbing the straits, I heard a noise in the kitchen, so I came down to look....
"Who's there?" Nobody answered. "Mom? Is that you?" Still nothing.
It was now that I realised that it was me and nothingness in here.
"Drake...... Jamie......," I called out. It felt strange cx I had been a total stranger to this house and hadn't even spoken to my two little brothers for like a month.
Jamie was the youngest of us three and was such a sweetheart. Every morning he would leave a bar of chocolate by my bedside table with a note saying 'Smile'. He knew I was sad and everyone was trying to cheer me up and now I really felt bad and sorry.
"Roofis," it was my cat. She jumped on me, licked my face as if she was grateful to see me. I smiled. Roofis was white and cuddly; I carried her to my room, while she rested her head on my arm feeling relaxed and calm.
In my room, I sat on the couch next to the window while Roofis snoozed on my lap. It was a sense of calm and relaxant just like old times. I closed my eyes and went 4 years back when things were perfect.........

"It was the first time when Harry sneaked into my house at night. It was my fifteenth birthday and he texted me to come out in the garden.
'Harry I cant. Mom and Dad are out of station and Drake is practically body guarding.' I laughed. 'Well...... Ok I kept your gift and stuff on the lamp-post come and get it before someone else does.' Harry warned teasingly.
Me and Harry were only friends at that time and he was sweet and shy.
'Hate yew Harry,'
'Haha.... I know' he laughed.
I sneaked out to the garden while my brothers were watching a movie. It was a huge box, I was flabbergasted to see it. I picked it up and went back to my room, bolted it and opened the box.
It had a big box of my favourite chocolates; a smile spread across my face. It also had a teddy bear with a heart saying I Love You. It also has a card, i picked it up and started reading:
"You are someone who always spreads a smile across my face, you make my heartbeat faster and looking at you is the best part of my day. Keep smiling and Live a Long happy life. Happy Birthday."
That very moment I took my cellphone out and called him.
" Harry...." I went as soon as he picked up and I went speechless.
"Mavi..... Are you okay?? Are you crying??" He sounded worried and tensed.
"Mavis.... I'm sorry. Please don't cry. Its your birthday. I didn't mean to.... Please smile."
"Shut Up silly.... That was the sweetest gift ever I love it. I never knew you were this sweet," I sobbed out of tears of happiness.
"Ohh...," he sighed. "Thank god."
"Harry, why did u say sorry ? You didn't do anything"
"Mavis. I Love You."
I fell quiet, totally hushed, I didn't know what to say. It was like Harry was the perfect guy and yes I loved him and yes I wanted to live with him forever. He made me feel so very special. I was his everything, he never made me feel left out.
"Mavi... I cant live without you. I know I'm crossing my limits of friendship but I cant share you.... I'm S...." I cut him short, " I love you too, Harry."
"Wait.. What?? You aren't joking right?" He sighed and I felt him smiling. "Wow..... I cant believe it..... I love you."
"Harry, can u come over tonite?" I asked, thinking nothing.
"What? Where?"
"To my place. I wanna meet you." Just then someone knocked the door.
"Harry..... I'll see you then.... Bye."
I opened the door after I hid the gifts under my bed.
"Mavi... Mom's home," said Drake.

It was 11pm and everyone was awake, I couldn't wait till he comes. Now, I was in my room impatiently waiting for everyone to sleep and I couldn't even call Harry as I was sitting in between everyone and they had no plan to sleep. Worry drifted over me and I looked scared too.
"Okay, folks I'm off to bed. I've got class tomorrow," Drake said, getting up from the bed and waving.
What A LifeSaver.
Just then dad looked at the clock, "oh.... It's late. I'm gonna go too..... Mavi, you should sleep too, you've got class too, don't you?"
"Yeah, dad I've got class at 9," A sigh of relief passed over me and it was honestly a relief.
Mom, Dad, and Jamie said Goodnight and walked out of my room and into theirs to sleep.
Now all I had to do was to wait till he comes ☺️
