Faded (Minishaw)

Ch. 13

-Josh tells Harry –

Harry's POV

I've just returned home from work, Josh and Freya are there, that's strange, they don't normally come over, well Josh does, but Freya is normally not with him so I get this unsettling feeling in my stomach like something is wrong.

"Harry can we talk?" Josh asks me

"what about"

"It's best if we talk in private" Josh says and I just nod as I lead him to my room and Freya follows us there. Now I'm getting kinda worried

Freya closes the door after us

"what is going on?" I ask

"I saw Simon last night" Freya said strait out, no messing about

"w-w-what?" I stutter

"I was at a night club, I saw a guy that looked a lot like Simon and I took a picture off him and sent it to Josh, who came down and it was him, it was really him"

"w-what.. and you did not let me know?, I would have gone there!" I ask, I feel the tears starting to fall

"I did not want to call you down there if was not him, I did not want to give you false hope" Freya tells me as she grabs my hands

"can I see the picture" I ask

"yeah sure, here you go" She hands me her phone and I look at the guy in the picture, It's so clearly Simon, I don't know who he thinks he is kidding with a little darker and little longer hair. I could spot him a mile away. I hand the phone back to Freya as my hands are starting to shake

"I just want to see him" I say as she hugs me

"He told us that he can't come back, he would not tell us anything, not why he left, he told us that he has a new name now, he would not tell us what it was but he has a hole new life" Josh tells me and I just shake my head in disbelieve,

"I'm sorry Harry, I'm so, so sorry" Freya tells me as we fall down on the floor, I still don't understand what is going on, I just want him to hold me. I just start screaming and bawling my eyes out. I can't believe it.

I get myself together after a little while,

"what else did he say?"

"he told me to tell you he loves you" Freya says and I just shake my head

"If he really loved me he would have told me what was going on" I say, I'm so upset, I just want to be alone right now and Josh and Freya understand that.

"Harry, now we know he is the city, we can find him, we will find him OK" she tells me before she walks out. I just nod

"thank you for letting me know" I say as I close the door and the tears just start running again.

Did he ever really love me

Can he just get a new life and leave me behind

Why did he do this to me? To us?

But he was not the one who cheated, that was me, but that was also after he had gone, does that count, I don't know, In my eyes it does.
