Long Way Down《H.S》

3]Apologies

Later at work...

Bye. Enjoy you're Espresso Romano. I started to make my way towards the back of the store where we made the coffee when I heard the door chime ring and the creek of the door every time it was opened. I turned back around since that was my cue to go back. I looked down not really caring who was there and said "HI welcome to THE BREW how may I help yo-" I was cut off when I looked up and saw the man that gave me butterflies but I barely knew, Harry. I looked down in embarrassment because he now knows that I work at a coffee shop...but I mean I'm only in high school so TBH who cares. He showed off that million dollar smirk and I started to blush red. He chuckled and I couldn't help but let the smile creep up and on my face.

"Well, well, well I wouldn't expect someone so gorgeous to be working here. But anyways can I get a Caffè Americano please?" By the time he was finished I looked like a damn ripe tomato that was about to explode. I nodded my head not knowing what to say and walked to the back and made his drink. I came back out and saw him leaning against the counter talking to some girl. I couldn't help it but jealousy over took me. I cleared my throat loud enough for them to turn around and reached my arm out so that he could take his drink. I put on a bitchy smile that could kill someone if looks could truely kill. I walked over to the cash register expecting him to follow and rung him up and said "$5.79 is your total." He looked at me and opened his mouth as if he was going to say something but I cut him off by saying "$5.79 is your total,SIR ." I looked at him intently and he looked a bit hurt.

He dug in his pocket and handed me a $10 bill. I was about to give him his change when he said "Keep the change" and walked away. As he was walked away I couldn't help but to look back and admire the way his chocolate curls bounced up and down. I sighed loudly and looked to the right to see the girl he was talking to staring at me. I turn around where my whole body was facing her and yelled "WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK ARE YOU LOOKING AT? CAN I HELP YOUR ASS?" She fake gasps and then a smirk pops on her face and she walked away. I turned around and checked my phone to see that it was 6:00pm I gathered all my things and clocked out. I started to walk home when I heard a twig crack. I turned my head so quickly it almost gave me whiplash. I saw it was just a rabbit and turned back around still not relaxing, maybe I'm just paranoid? I turned the corner and spot the line of trees telling me that my house was right next to them. I couldn't stop myself from looking at the house that belonged to the curly haired freak. But...he was my curly haired freak. WTF am I saying.

I saw a faint light on in a big window seal. I quickly made my way into my house and up my stairs. once I've reached my room I quickly stormed in going right to the window where I could see straight into his house. I frowned when I saw the shades were drawn but the light was still on. I turned around and when I was just about to jump on my bed face first a little fancy note caught my eye. It was sitting next to some white roses. I picked up the note and examined it. It had Little flowers on it and it says Hello Doll I opened it up and read it. It says...

Dear baby girl,
I hope that what you saw at THE BREW won't change your mind about me. I feel something strong between us...something I've never felt before. I knew that nothing can happen since your 16 and I'm 22. Do you feel the same way about me as I do you? That girl was just a friend from work. She always flirts with me but today I was just looking for someone to talk to. I hope you can forgive me, love.
-Harry xx

I don't know what I feel about Harry, but there's definitely something there...something strong. I fold up the note and put it in my drawer. I leave the flowers there because I'm afraid that if someone as ugly as I am touches something so beautiful I will mess them up...just how I messed up my parents's relation ship. A tear escapes my looking balls and I'm quick to wipe them away. I hear a tap on my window and I go to check it out
