5. I'm Sorry

Chapter 5.

(Harry's P.O.V)

I was beginning to think she wasn't coming. I was about to walk away when I saw her. The once grey eyes were now a bright beautiful blue. She wore dark blue jeans with a nice tank top to go with it. She wore a short light jacket over it. Ugh I need to stop, I need to talk to her first. I started to walk towards her.

"H-Hi Harry" she said sounded nervous maybe even scared.

"Hey Alex" I smiled. I wanted to ask her why she sounded scared but I didn't."How are you" I asked trying to make conversation without flirting too much.

"I-I'm... I'm fine, how about you" she said looking down. When she looked back up I saw tears in her eyes. At that time I knew something was wrong, and I was gonna find out.

"I'm great" I said back smiling hoping she would smile back and she did. It was only a small smile but it was a start. "C'mon" I said leading her to the bench in the park, she nodded and started to walk beside me. Gosh she was beautiful, but it was all natural beauty she wasn't even wearing makeup, and I liked that. I liked her, and I couldn't stop myself from it.

(Alex's P.O.V)

Why can't I be normal. This is really bothering me, why can't I just talk to someone without getting scared. I always think they're all the same. Like him. Not this time, I'm going to get to know Harry, I want to. I want a friend, I need a friend. Despite all that's happened to me, I want to have someone to talk to. Most people would have their parents, but not me. They wanted nothing to do with me after I told them. Besides they were just nothing but rude and ignorant towards me my whole life. I swear it was like I didn't even exist to them, all they cared about was going clubbing, coming home drunk and yelling at me nonstop. But that's not the point, I haven't had a friend that actually cared about me since high school, I missed her, but life went on and she went to college. And then here I am, close enough to broken while she's making something of her life. I'd usually be trying to find a way to escape this hang out session but not this time. I'm changing, even if its harder than I thought it would be.

"Alex?" I hear Harry calling me. Oh crap I totally zoned out.

"Oh sorry Harry, I was just uh, thinking" I told him.

"Oh that's fine. How about we go get some ice cream and we can get to know each other" he suggested.

"I'm changing" I kept telling myself.

"Sure. I'd love that" I said now walking beside him down the sidewalk.

As we got to the ice cream shop he held the door open. I thanked him and he ordered for the both of us. We sat down and it was quiet for a few seconds before Harry started talking.

"So, tell me about yourself" he said smiling.

I was shocked. No one has ever wanted to speak to me, or know anything about me, or even know my name.

"I, uh, I" I froze. "I'm so sorry I can't do this" I said quickly then standing up rushing out of the ice cream shop leaving Harry nothing but confused.

Harry's P.O.V

I knew something about her was different. She looked terrified. When I asked her to tell me about herself her eyes turned back to the grey colour I once saw. She froze. Maybe she thought I would hurt her, but why would she, I would never hurt her, ever. All I wanted was to get to know her, I really did. I needed her to know she was safe with me. When she spoke she stuttered. I knew by that small gesture that she was afraid or nervous. But when she got up and ran out of the shop I was confused. I was going to find out what was wrong, I was going to show her that I care, that I won't hurt her. One way or another. I quickly stood up and ran after her.
