Lessons of Love

Trails

"How did that night turn out Lilith?" This might have been the second time she was asking me this question, but it felt like the hundthreth.

Only one word came to mind and I said it.

"Awful."

I started out my story once again, taking in a deep breath before recollecting the memories of that night.

 I'll admit, a small part of me wanted to go to that party but I knew I couldn't, I stuck with my word.  I am as stubborn as it gets.  The only thing I could get from Harry is corruption and I do not need that in my life. 

I waved goodbye to Elizabeth after we both agreed she would drive me home directly after school even though I insisted she didn't have to.  She never took no for an answer. 

As I made  my way to literature class, I couldn't stop but think of how Harry handled himself with me.  I have never felt more terrified in my life.  I have never been treated so wrongly either.  I knew I had to distance myself from Harry without a doubt, but what I had to know was how I would do that, and how long it would last until Harry came strolling back into my life.  As I opened the door to the classroom, I couldn't help but look around and notice the vast collections of books, but suddenly my gaze landed on an angry Harry slamming the door shut with a sly grin on his face and eyes focused on me.  Oh no.

"So, I take it you told your friend what we talked about, didn't you?" He said, walking towards me.

I gulped, "Yes"

"Look" he said as he placed his hands on my arms, his fingers almost digging into my skin, he looked me straight in the eyes, "don't do that again."

That was that, he left afterwards.  Seriously, what is his problem? 

I just wanted to sit down and get on with this day now, I do not and would not let Harry ruin this for me. 

I wish I could say that I liked the students in my class as well as my teacher, but I can't.  Nothing really interested me today, maybe because it's because Harry has already ruined this day for me.  Dammit, I thought I said I wouldn't let him.  See, this is the problem with me.  I even obey my damn self.  As the class came to an end I quickly packed up my belongings and made my way out the door, but the universe loves me so much it wanted me to trip.  I waited to feel myself fall, but the feeling never came, someone...great not someone, Harry held onto me before I could fall.  I quickly got out of his grasp, while doing so I stumbled back before regaining my balance. 

He chuckled.

Seriously? "Can you not?" I simply said as I walked off already wanting to leave school, I didn't care if I had another class.  What I cared about was getting away from him.  I texted Elizabeth to meet me in the front of campus. 

I didn't hear Harry's footsteps behind, I took that as a good sign that he must not be following me. Until I saw black Range Rover pull up infront of me.  I've never seen Elizabeth drive that car before, maybe her parents bought her a new car. 

As I walked towards the car I hear another car in back of it honking...wait a minute.  Elizabeth?  I walked towards the other car confused, until I hear his voice.

"I'm still not done talking to you." He said with authority in his voice.

I let out a laugh and looked back at time, "I am.  I have to go."  With that I just walked away and fast, not wanting to see the reaction of his face to what I had just told him.
