Chapter 20

Her hands trace the outlines of the sparrows, keeping me awake though I'm so tired. My throat still hurts from the bile I've thrown up and my stomach is still upset. I know my body needs the rest but with Taylor's naked body on mine, tracing parts of my tattoos, I find it quite hard to fall asleep.

Which then brings me to why Taylor is awake. Well, I guess questioning why she is awake. I hope that it doesn't have anything to do with what we just did, but knowing girls, it does.

Izzy would always get into a silent funk after we had sex, and she claimed it had nothing to do with me, but I still think it did. She claimed that it was just her time to think and reflect on everything, but she never shared what she was reflecting on.

Rachel is the opposite though. She would tell me everything I did wrong and everything I did right, giving me a play by play on the sex we just had. It was super annoying but it makes me better today, so I guess I can't complain too much. And when she was don't critiquing me, we would put my listening skills to test.

I wouldn't get much sleep with Rachel around.

"What's going on up there?" I finally ask, rubbing her head. She's silent still, moving onto my butterfly. "Tay?"

"I'm just curious" she fills the silence

"About what babe?" I run my hands through her hair, making her feel comfortable to share.

"Who is Izzy?" She asks again and my body twitches. She takes her hand off my chest and I apologize, bringing her hand back to where it was.

"Was" I correct, past tense.

I'm guessing you've come to the conclusion that Isabelle is dead. Which you're right and you've also assumed that her death, had been my fault. Both statements you are correct.

Otherwise why would I bring her up so many times in my own story?

Memories flood back to me of that night. (The night I told you about on our 4 year). I was a dick, I was a high school graduate with a 4 year girlfriend and didn't understand the repercussion of my actions.

So let me bring you back five and a half years.

It was graduation night, also the night of our anniversary. Izzy had look forward to taking me out on our date, telling me it was going to be the best anniversary gift I had ever gotten, which also meant really good sex.

She met up with me at graduation rehearsals, I gave her the flowers I had grabbed on the way in. God, I was madly in love with her. 

I place a kiss on her cheek, "happy four years babe" she smiles back at me, grabbing the flowers.

"Meet me in the parking lot after rehearsal" she gives me a kiss with those plump lips before leaving to take a seat.

I run out to her when I see her sitting by my car with a present in hand. I don't care about the present though, I care about grabbing her waist and spinning her around so I can hear that beautiful laugh of hers. Which I end up getting with a smile on her face, I stop it with a kiss from me.

"I got you something" she holds up the box but I don't care, again, wanting to just kiss her. She giggles on my mouth, "Harry, please"
