Chapter 83

Christin's P.O.V

Harry has been acting so weird lately, he's so abstracted and when he's not that way, he's glued to me like something bad is going to happen. His behaviour is so strange that has me into thoughts because he's not like this. Yeah, he may be bored of school, but he has never missed classes before mostly because he wants to get in a good university and 'do his thing', but lately he's been missing so many classes. He doesn't wake up on purpose or leaves in the middle of the day acting like he's sick to go home and I'm really wondering because he never avoids what he has to do, it's not in his character to avoid his liabilities.

But him coming late on the first day and missing his first class, Biology, was the straw that broke the camel's back because I was listening to the teachers talking about expelling him already because of his apathy and his absence from his classes. I love him and that's why I worry about him band I can't take this behaviour without saying a word. Like he cares about me to the point that he calls me to make sure that I don't forget even the simplest things, I care about him the same way and even more.

We headed to his black Hyundai Santa FE that was parked on the student's parking lot quickly and he drove straight to a little coffee shop that we always go when we want a little more privacy and we don't wanna stay home. When we got there I left the car first and Harry followed right behind me. We sat on a little table in the corner of the shop and after ordering two cappuccinos I looked straight into his eyes while I was tugging at my uniform's skirt. He looks so handsome even in these stupid wine red and grey uniform and that stupid tie.

"Could you tell me what's wrong the last two months with you? I'm super worried Harry." I murmured while he was playing with the phone in his hands turning it around again and again.

"There's a minor problem. That's all love. It will be solved soon enough for you to stop worrying." He tried to reassure me, but of course, it was a waste of time.

"Harry you're in the worst state I've ever seen you lately and don't tell me that out of sudden you decided to change your attitude and cling to me like never before," I exclaimed with the lowest voice possible as there were only a couple of people in the coffee shop.

"Goddamn Christy! It's nothing! Stop seeing problems when there aren't any!" He said annoyed as the waitress brought our coffees and left quickly.

"There is a problem! I can see that you're hiding something, I feel that there's something bothering you. Why don't you tell me?" I pressured more to make him talk.

"Because my father is none of your business!" He snapped and looked into my eyes.

"What's wrong with your father?" I asked worriedly because I know that no one in his family is in good terms with his father, but if it's bothering him so much it must be really serious.

"He wants my custody. I know it's stupid to worry because I'm getting eighteen in a few weeks, but I learned it just two months ago and he's trying to take me for two and a half years. My mum is a wreck now that I know too and he calls home and on my phone all the time trying to talk to me even though I want nothing that has to do with him and he knows it." He mumbled while looking down at his cup of coffee.

"Are you serious?" I asked shocked and watched him comb his curly hair with his fingers like a madman.

"Yeah. He even tried to convince the judge along with his lawyer that my mum is inappropriate because she has an alcoholism problem which is not the truth, of course, my mum is the exact opposite. He's been pressuring all of us so much to the point that he asked me to attest at the court that I'm having a hard time with my mum and he'll probably ask my sister to do the same thing." He said and I felt my eyes fill with tears.

"Oh my God! How can he do such thing to his children?" I said shocked and tried to push back the tears that were starting to fill up my eyes.

"Aye don't you dare to cry for such a stupidity." He kissed me softly and smiled. "He has nothing on my mum. She could kill for her children."

"He'll take you to Birmingham if he'll win. You can't go attest." He looked at me while I couldn't take in the thought and whipped my eyes.

"I'll just do it, show that my mum is the perfect person in the world and leave. My mum's lawyer is Jessica's dad, he's the best of that kind of things." He kept reassuring me.

"Can they slow down the procedure until you get eighteen? He won't be able to do anything then, you'll be an adult." I whispered while wiping my eyes.

"No love. Everything's under control though I'm sorry that I'm stressing you, but I'm stressed to at the moment." He kissed me and cupped my cheek.

"You can't quit from your own future though because that what you do right now. Why don't you talk with Gemma? She always has a solution." I wiped the last tears from my cheeks and took a sip of my coffee.

"I don't have too. She's too stressed with uni right now she doesn't have to think about this too. Just relax and everything will be alright." He kissed me one more time.

"I want to come with you at the court."

"No way, don't even think about it." He said emphatically. "Pinky promise that I won't lose any more classes and practices and I'll always be on time for everything if you stop wondering." He said showing me his pinky.

"I'm not five Haz." I smiled but gave him my pinky either way.

"It doesn't matter you're adorable like a toddler to me." I smiled and he kissed me for a few moments.

"I love you so much Haz," I whispered.

"I love you too princess." He answered smiling.

We sat there for about thirty minutes until my ringtone was heard and it was Jessica who was calling me. I answered and within minutes we were inside his car and I was watching him as he was absorbed in driving. His profile is so beautiful that could kill you with his perfect jaw and soft skin. I kept on thinking while he was looking at the road with a serious look and my finger was playing with the charms of my Pandora bracelet that he got me for Christmas and without saying a word he took my hand in his and kissed it, then started brushing it with his thumb while he had a little smirk on his lips. We reached the school and he parked then we quickly got to the theatre entrance and sat on two of the empty chairs close to it.

"Will you stop thinking about it?" He murmured and kissed my forehead.

"I'll try," I whispered and replaced myself in his hug as the doors opened and everyone rushed out.

Α/Ν Well hello there! We know it's been so long since we last updated, but the past few weeks have been so difficult and we don't think that we need to explain more.

We really hope that there are still some of you out there reading the story and that you're not really annoyed with us. 

Whatever! We hope you liked it and stay tuned for the next one.

Hugs and kisses to all of you!
