My Crush

Chapter 13

"I'm going to kill him!" I tell Kate.

"Lacey" I looked up at Harry "is it true you went on a date with Dylan?"

"Yeah I did but I didn't go well so I'm going to talk to him about it, why do you care?"

"You should head to class" the bell rang.

"But..."

"Go to class Lacey"

I glared at him as I went to class, after class I went to go find Harry.

"Harry!" I yelled but then I stopped and noticed his bloody knuckles as he walked into the principal's office.

I stood right by the door waiting, the door opened and Harry just walked out.

"Wait!" I caught up to him.

"What?" He looks at me.

"Why did you do that?! You punched Dylan didn't you?"

"Maybe"

"I don't get you" I shook my head "first you want nothing to do with me then you say you need time and then you go punch Dylan... What is going on Harry?!"

"I don't know okay?! I'm confused as you are"

"Why did you punch Dylan? Were you jealous? Are you starting to get feeling for me?!"

"Lace" Harry stopped me.

"I want to help you" I tell him as I try to grab his hand but he pulls away "I can't help you if I don't know what's going on"

"I need to go"

Harry left the school and I sighed as I went to my classes. I got in my car and drove to Harry's house. I got out and knocked on the door.

"Lacey, how are you?"

"I'm good Robin and you?"

"Good good, are you looking for Harry?"

I nodded "yeah, is he here?" I asked

"He's in his room"

Robin moved out of the way as I ran upstairs and into his room.

"What the fuck Lacey?!" Harry yelled at me.

"I should be saying the same thing to you!" I yelled back "I don't get you Harry! You can't tell me you need space and then go punch a guy I had a bad date with!"

"Fuck Lacey, shut up will you?"

"No! I'm not going to shut up you can't..."

Harry rushed up to me and smashed his lips against mine and it took my breath away. The passion, the heat. Harry let go of me and walked away.

"Does that mean you like me?" I asked him as I tried to catch my breath.

"Yes Lace but I can't date you!"

"And why not?" I asked him.

"After high school, I'm leaving"

Tears formed my eyes "leaving? What do you mean you're leaving?"

"I joined the army" he looks at me as he paces back and forth.

"That doesn't mean we can't date! We can work with that" I tell him.

"You had so much pain in your life, I don't want to cause you anymore"

"I get to choose who hurts me in my life and I wouldn't mind if it was you... I've been wanting this since I was in 6th grade Harry... I want to know what it feels like to be loved and have that love returned"

Harry comes over to me and cups my face "Lacey"

"I can't imagine my life without you now" I cried.

He pulled me into a hug "you should go home"

"But"

"Go home"

"We're not done talking about this" I warned him.

"I know"

He walked me to my car and I looked at him, I felt like I was dreaming.

"Have a safe drive home Lacey"

"I'll see you tomorrow?" I asked him.

"Yeah"

I got in my car and drove home. I got out of the car and into the house. Emma was right there to greet me.

"Hey baby girl" I picked her up.

"Where'd you go Lacey?" John asked me.

"Um had to go to Harry's to talk to him"

"Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, um..."

"Lacey, what's going on with you two?"

"I don't know... Did you know he was leaving after high school?"

"Yes" John sighed "he told you?"

"Yeah after he kissed me"

"What?!" John smiled.

"I want to be with him John, you know that but I don't know if he wants to be with me... I have to go do some homework"

I went downstairs and went to do my homework. We went upstairs and are with the family then I read Emma a story.
