Chapter 23: Three words. Eight letters. Bullshit?

"I love you"

Harry finally said it. He loves me. But you know what I did? I ran. I ran away.

Stupid right? I know.

The person you love finally said what you wanted to hear. A normal person would jump around and say "I love you too" but since I was far from normal, I stood up and ran.

I kept running, leaving Harry in the building. People were looking at me. Obviously, I'm too colorful right now. It didn't mattered that I'm covered in paint, I just need to leave.

Why did I ran away?

I don't even know why. He probably thinks I'm mental or something. Or worse, he might think I don't like him.

When those words came out of his lips, the only person I could think of was Adrian.

He was the only guy who loved me. He was the only one who said those three words. But there's Harry now. Who was alone in my studio, waiting for my answer.

I stopped running when I reached a park.

Shit! Shit! Shit!

I was pacing back and forth.

Okay! Calm down Andie! Deep breaths!

I love you.

I love you.

I screamed in frustration and punched a tree. Adrian kept popping in my head.

Why?

Why?

Why?

I sat on the ground and buried my face on my knees. I pulled my hair and screamed again.

And you know what? I cried. I just cried.

My emotions were going crazy. My heart was about to explode. I'm such a fucked up.

Few hours passed, and I was lying on the grass.

I need to go back. I need to talk to Harry.

HARRY'S POV

She ran.

Andie ran away.

Everything was perfect and I ruined it. I shouldn't have said that. Maybe I was going too fast. I'm so stupid.

I pulled my hair and kicked the can.

But I really mean it when I said that. I do love her, so much.

Andie didn't come back so I left. I was now on my bed, staring at the ceiling.

Should I call her? Maybe not.

She probably hates me right now.

I think I should apologize. What if she won't talk to me? What if she'll ignore me? Or beat me? Or...

Stop with the what ifs Harry! Man up!

My subconscious was right. I need to be brave. I need to prove it to her that I really do love her.

I almost fell on my bed when I hear a knock on my door.

Andie!

It could be Andie!

I immediately got up and ran going to my door. I fixed myself and took deep breaths. Okay, this is it!

I hope it's her! I hope it's her!

I opened the door and saw Andie standing there.

"Hi." She smiled. Her hands were on her back as she keeps moving her heels back and forth. She looked nervous.

"Uhm, hi!" This is so awkward. We kept quiet. I decided to break the silence, it was defeaning.

"I'm sorry Andie. I shouldn't have said that. It's okay if you don't feel the same. I just-"

"Shut up Harry!" I looked at her. Now she's mad. Good job Haz!

"I'm sorry if I ran away. I don't know why but I got scared. I was scared when you said it. Adrian was the only one who ever made me feel this way. Then you came into my life. I thought I was never going to find love again. Every time you're with me, you made me feel alive. You made me feel I was worth it. You were always there. You make me happy."

She paused.

"And I... I was scared that you'll leave me too. I'm scared that you might regret being with me. I'm scared you'll see that I'm not perfect. I'm such a fucked up. I'm not like those girls you used to date. I'm impatient. I easily get angry. My past is worse. My life will never be normal. I'm not normal. And if you'll leave me, I'd probably go insane. I don't want to get hurt again but the thing is." She stopped and took a deep breathe.

"I-I'm completely and utterly in love with you and it hurts."

I was gobsmacked. Did she just confessed?

"Please say something." She mumbled and the sighed. "I knew it." She was about to walk away when I caught her wrist.

Her eyes were glossy. I don't want to make her cry. I pulled her back and wrapped my arms around her.

"I love you too, Andie!" Her face lit up with joy. I spun her around and kissed her while walking back inside. I used my feet to close the door.

I lifted her up and pressed her on the wall. I stopped kissing her and she whined. She so addicting.

"Be my girlfriend?" I asked, looking directly to her eyes. My heart was beating fast, waiting for my rejection.

"Yes. A thousand yes." She smile. She cupped my face and kissed me.
