Light Hazel|| a Dark Green sequel

Chapter 8

Quinn

Harry is outside the restaurant in barely 5 minutes. Asher didn't come outside despite the little hope I had he would come, ask for a reason why I'd call off the engagement. I don't have a reason so heavy it would make sense. I know he won't take the I don't deserve someone like you and all those poor excuse I can tell him. But it's just so true, I wish I could be someone as good as the person he deserves to be with. I have cheated on him, lied to him and hide the real truth behind why I was so hurt all those years back.

I open the passenger's door and step into Harry's car. He is smiling widely, like he just won a price he already knew was you. It makes me sad and a little sick to know that is probably all I am to him right now, but what else can I do if my heart is still confused?

"You changed your mind?" He asks as the car drives away from the wedding.

I will have to explain my brother and Diana everything. Maybe one day. When I can finally look them in the eye and tell everything. It was stupid of me believing Asher and I could pretend everything was fine when it obviously why not.

How is he feeling now? Is he alright? Will he accept my decision or will he fight it? I guess he would have come out if he wanted to fight it.

Even now, after all the pain I've caused him, he's still respecting what I want.

My heart aches and my stomach turns around.

I don't answer Harry, he already knows the answer he wants and the one that it's true.

His hand comes and rests over my knee, not giving it a small tug like he would do when we were younger. I look at him out of the corner of my eye.

He is still the same yet he seems hurt, or maybe lost. I want to know what happened to him after he abandoned me, what he did and where he went. What was the reason he didn't answer my calls or called me back, what was behind not letting me know if he was save or all the crap he was into was already eating the little bit of soul he had left.

I keep all those questions buried deep in me, and they probably will never get an answer.

I don't know where he is taking me, but I don't know where I would want to go. There is no place for me anymore, I will have to think about what to do next but I will leave that for tomorrow.

Today I need to escape, I need to forget what the past days did to me.

Maybe Harry was truly my future from the start. There was a connection that day, when we met at my father's station. He cared about me that time, or at least, it looked like it from my point of view. He still may care about me, if he insisted so much on seeing me the past few days. It should make me feel good, my heart should explode of happiness at the thought of him caring about me. After all, it's what I wanted for so long when we were "dating". But now, I don't care, not even a little. It doesn't make my heart full or draw a smile on my face.

I ignore my feelings, and lay my hand over his own.

After not too long, he parks the car in an unknown parking lot. When I step out the car, I'm surprised to see the expensive set of building in front of me. Comparing the place he lived before, it looked like he made a lot of money in the last four years. I don't even want to know how he earned it.
