My Sister's Boyfriend (Currently fixing 03/22/16)

Caught

It was 2:29 pm, November 28th, a Thursday. Nothing really horrible happened ever since Justin and I fought. today was Thanksgiving and I couldn't wait to stuff my face in the turkey (not literally). We were going to have a big family party, including Justin and Harry. Just to make sure, I texted Harry.

Me: So are you coming to the Thanksgiving party later on? :)

I waited for about 20 minutes and no reply. Might at well help my mom decorate the house. We put some cute Thanksgiving cloth on the dinning table. It was a LARGE table. Afterwards, my mom started to do the cooking and that stuff. I was just watching tv. We usually have our guest over at 5 and eat around 7. My mom's a slow cooker when it's Thanksgiving. It was now 3:03. I checked my phone and Harry responded 4 minutes ago.

Harry: i can't babe, busy. cant talk rite now. i love you, bye. xx

I was perfectly fine with that. Oh and did I mention it was our 1 month anniversary like 3 weeks ago? Not a big deal, really. 1 year isn't a huge deal either. I think maybe 10 years is. Anyways, I'm glad it's Thursday. And tomorrow is Friday, so a 4 day weekend. I really needed that. Especially being in my shoes. Everyday when I look in the mirror all I see is shit. I feel like shit doing all that stupid shenanigans. But I can't help it?

"Hey mom, how many people are going to be here?" I asked, because I was concerned - of course.

"Ok, let me check the list." She went to the counter table and got her little notepad, and glanced at the list, "Your aunt Ruby, Uncle Rob, and your two cousins, then your grandparents are coming, um, your two uncles, and Justin and last, Harry."

"Oh, scratch Harry off. He can't come."

"Why?" my mom looked at me while scratching his name off.

"I don't know, he didn't give me a reason. Anyways, going to take a shower."

I went upstairs to take a shower. Came out about an hour later. I always take about an hour because I think too much about life. Don't you? That also happens when I'm about to sleep, I think about things I want to happen. But I know never will. Like when I first met Justin, I wished I got to see him again. Which I did, but it was from luck. Then I thought about Justin breaking up with Selena, which I don't want to happen because Selena is a human being just like me the rest of us. I went into my bed room and changed into a cute classy lass light brown dress, with a skinny white belt around. I turned around to view the clock and it was now 4:27. I curled my hair with my wand I got last Christmas. I needed a new one. After I was done curling my hair, I put it into a "half up, half down" kind of hairstyle. When I was done with that, I put on a my white flats and sprayed some perfume around my neck.

"Ariana, come down to say hi to your grandparents!!" My mom yelled.

I came running downstairs to say hello to my grandparents, which I hadn't seen in almost a year. Once I saw them they had a huge smile on their face, I hugged both of them and said hello. I'm glad our whole family is spending time together. It makes me feel happy.

"Go get your sister, she's taking an awfully long time to get ready. She's been fixing herself up since 1!" My mom commanded.

I went to Selena's room and she looked amazing. "Ever heard of anything called knocking?"

"Oh, sorry. Mom wants you downstairs because grandpa and nonna are here."

"I'll be there in a sec."

I came out of her room and I was sighed of relief. I guess the old Selena came back, or maybe she was in a bad mood for right now. She went downstairs 2 minutes later and greeted our grandparents. I went downstairs and watched the Thanksgiving Macy's parade. My two uncles came 20 minutes later. Then my uncle, aunt, and two cousins. Next thing you knew we were watching the football game, a usual Thanksgiving traditions my dad and uncle have. Justin came 10 minutes before we were about to eat.

"Sorry I'm late." he told my mom and Selena. 

"It's alright babe, we were just about to eat!"

My mom told us to get the table organized and to be seated. Oh, and guess who got to sit in front of me? Yeah, that's right. You guessed it. Justin. My mom came with the food and we did our "What We're Thankful For." It was Justin's turn, "I'm thankful for everything I have right now. And for Mrs. Grande for inviting me. And last, for this special girl." he gazed at me. I just rolled my eyes and began to eat. Man, was the turkey delicious. I felt like I was pregnant, which I wasn't.

It was now 8. We were all full. I felt a little bad Harry couldn't come so I decided to surprise him and bring him so left overs. "Mom, I'm going to Harry's. I'll be back in an hour."

"Ok, you better bring a jacket. It's cold outside, I don't want you to catch pneumonia." my mom commanded. I did what she said, I got my jacket and walked to Harry's house. It took me about 25 minutes, my best guess. I could've been 10 if I drove but I'm still waiting for my driver's licence. I was outside of Harry's house and it looked like his parent's weren't home. I knew where their keys were, he told me a long time ago. I quietly opened the door and closed it. It was dark in here, I wondered if he was even in here? I didn't want the neighbors to think I was an intruder and call the police. Happened to me before when I was trying to open the front door to my house. Anyways, I went upstairs and heard the television playing. So I knew somebody was in here, and I also knew it was Harry because it was coming from his room. I opened and and yelled, "Surprise!" Harry turned around so fast. But once I saw what I just saw, my heart broke into pieces. He was in bed kissing... Lily?

"Wh-what's going on here?" I tried so hard not crying. But it was too late, tears started to stream down my left eye. Have you heard the "fact" that if you cry from your left eye, it was because you were in pain. Well, I'm beginning to believe that's true. I was in so much pain. I dropped the food and ran out of the room.

"No, Ari. It not what you think!!" Harry yelled while getting up from the bed. He was shirtless. Which made me cry more. He ran to me and grabbed my arm to stop me from running away. I turned to him with a red face. I was embarrassed. "Yeah? Then explain it to me. Do you think I was born yesterday?" I asked him. He was speechless, he tried talking but it was more like stuttering trying to think of an idea to tell me. "I was stupid trusting you." I cried even more.

"I'm sorry Ariana, I didn't mean it. She came onto me. I didn't want to but -" he stopped talking.

"Stop lying and tell me the truth."

"Okay." he sighed. "She's my ex. We went out 4 months ago, but she dumped me 2 months ago. She started to go out with some other guy just recently and I got jealous. That's why I agreed to go on that blind date with you to McDonalds. I wanted to get my mind off of Lily because deep down inside I still loved her. But once I started to date you, it all changed. You were the only one I wanted to be with. You gave meaning to love. I didn't go to your Thanksgiving because Lily was heartbroken that her boyfriend broke up with her. We talked and I tried getting her mind off of him. Then it led to kissing. I didn't mean for it to happen, Ariana. Trust me. If I could rewind everything that happened today, I would. If you forgive me, I would never talk to her again. I promise Ariana. I love you. And only you. I don't even like her, she basically kissed me. Trust me, what you just saw was all her. I didn't even enjoyed it."

I didn't know if I should've believed him or not. I was sick of everything. It was to the point where I wanted to destroy everything.

"Ariana, listen to me. You're the girl I love. ONLY YOU. No one else. No one can change that. If I were to choose between breathing and loving you, I would use my last breath to say I love you. Which I already did a thousands of times because I do. You make me breathless. Without you, I'd be a wreck." he grabbed my waist, but I turned around crying. He gently pulled my chin to his and whispered, "I love you." then kissed me. We kissed for about 10 seconds, until I let go.

"I don't know Harry." I made him left go of me and slowly walked away. I went outside sobbing. I wasted 1 month and 3 weeks on him. With that time, I could've gotten my driver license, which was really handy right know because it was really cold outside. I took out my phone and dialed the person I really needed the most, Justin.
