Faded (Minishaw)

Ch. 19

Simon's POV

I need to explain myself to Lucy, I just ran away, Harry was so angry at me, I can't really blame him, would I have acted any different if we had changed position's, I don't think so. What would Lucy think off me now, I would have to explain myself to her. Would she be hurt.

"Lucy pliz answer the phone" I say to myself as I call her

"where the fuck are you? You just left me here"

"I'm still in the parking lot, I'm sorry"

"OK I'm on my way there now" she said and hung up, she sounded pissed. No wonder, I just ran away from her. she has every right to be pissed off

I just wait for her to get there, she is pissed, she is also confused.

"can you tell me what the fuck is going on?" she yells at me as she gets in the car, slamming the door behind her. 

"I don't know if it's safe"

"what are you talking about?"

"I'm in witness protection, I had to start a new life"

"what?" I see her face fall, this was not what she expected to hear 

"my name is Simon Minter and that was my boyfriend Harry or my ex boyfriend I should say, we can't be together because off this, the gang that is after me threatened to hurt me or someone that I love so the police placed me in witness protection and I got placed at your work, a new name and I was not allowed to contact anyone from my past life"

"but why can't you tell him that, he would understand I think"

"I don't want him to get hurt, I could not live with myself if they would hurt him"

"but he got hurt anyway." Lucy said and I nodded, it felt kinda nice to have gotten all that off my chest.

"thank you for telling me" she whispered after we had been quiet for a while, she was processing all this new information that I had just thrown at her.

"are you OK?" I ask her

"yeah, I think so, I don't know how I feel yet to be honest"

"I understand, I will understand it also If you don't want to hang out with me anymore"

"hey we are friends, I'm not gonna dump you OK" she said and took my hand.

"thank you!" I say and smile at her, she is amazing

"one question though, do you want me to call you Conor or Simon?"

"you can call me what you want, but Conor at work"

"I think I will start calling you Simon, to be honest you look a lot more like a Simon than a Conor"

"thanks I guess" I say and laugh.

"can I ask another question"

"yeah go ahead" I say

"what are you going to do about Harry?"

"I don't know, I love him, I do, I want to talkto him, but if someone sees me talking to him I might be in trouble." I say andI'm sad about it. Lucy just nods. Then we just drive back to my place and we start watching a movie, just to forget the world, but I just can't stop thinking about my little run in with Harry.
