Harry's POV
Keith put down my phone on the table as he looked at me and gave me a sad smile
I gave him a nod,
"It's for her own good..."
He gave me a side smile as he went to me and gave me a hug and patted my back
Right after the talk I had with Mr. Stanford, I gave him my resignation letter. I didn't reply in any messages of Jennifer cause I don't want her to think about me that much. She has to be safe this time. The examination is coming this weekend. That is why I told and lied to Mr. Stanford that I was the only one who took advantage of her so the punishment will only come to me...
I took a flight yesterday going to New York from San Francisco with Charlize.
"I am sure, the day will come, Harry..That you two are going to face each other..I believe in that.." Keith said as he pulled away from me
"Thanks, Man.," I said
"So are you sure you're flying to London later?" He asked
I let out a deep sigh
"Yes...I think it's better for both of us..for now. I have to stay away from her for a while because If I don't, She'll be at risk and I don't want that to happen...I wish her all the best..as always...You know that...Plus, I just lost my job so I have to find a new one.." I said
"But how about your Dad? He was a big one in so many hospitals and I'm sure he can help you to find a new one." He said
It's been a long time since I talked to my Dad
"You know I want to be independent, right Keith? I want to prove to him that I can be a good and successful doctor without any help from him.."
"Yeah, I get it." He said as he gave me a nod
"Daddy, I am ready.." Charlie came out of the room of Keith's daughter, they're just in the same age.
I went to her and knelt down her height
"Okay, don't forget your things. We will be leaving 30 minutes from now."
"Okay, Daddy but why are we leaving without Aunt Jennifer..?" She asked
I looked up at Keith and he gave me a look
"Uhm, you know what honey, there are still answers for your questions that I can't give to you right now...I think you know that right..? We talked about this?" I asked
She just nodded her head and pouted her lips
"Okay.." She said
I smiled as I kissed her forehead and get her bag as I stood up
"Say goodbye to uncle Keith and Sophia," I said
Then she gave them sweet hugs and kisses
"Thanks for everything man and thanks for letting us stay in your place.." I said to Keith
"Oh come on, don't act like you're other.." He said to me and we laughed
"But seriously, Thank You.." I said nodding my head. I think he knows what I mean
"You're always welcome Harry.." He smiled and we hugged each other again
"If she calls again, can you please say Hi from me?" I asked
"Yeah sure. I will." He said as he gave a sure smile.
We then get out of Keith's house and drove straight to the airport..,
The boarding time came and we get our bags, Charlize fell asleep on my arms so I carried her as I make steps towards the plane.
But before I stepped inside, I just can't help it but release the tear I've been trying to hold on..,
Leaving her behind isn't an easy decision...
Jennifer's POV
"Ms. Lopez. Are you okay?"
Mr. Stanford asked as tilted my head up to him
My mind is nowhere to be found, I feel like I just lost the piece of me.., I've been feeling empty since the day the thing about me and Harry went out and when I heard Harry flew to London without any fucking explanations...,
"Yes, I am.," I mumbled
I am now sitting in front of Mr. Stanford's desk
He called me to go in here..,
"So if you're not aware, Ms. Lopez. Dr, Connick confessed to me that he was the one who took advantage on you so he accepted all the punishments." He said and I don't believe it. Harry lied..,
"You can justify and said that he came to you and raped you. You can say whatever you want to say against him..."
"What? But he never raped me...he didn't even force himself on me. Har...Sir Harry isn't like that..he never took advantage on me" I said
"So you're telling me, he lied to me? Huh, Ms. Lopez? He said that he came to you and took advantage to you and now you're telling me he isn't like that?"
I got froze for a moment..,
Damn you Harry...why did you say that..? You're so stupid...
I just looked down and grip my skirt as I felt myself getting teary
"Well whatever you say, Ms. Lopez. I already heard the story. Dr, Connick was really the one to be punished cause he disobeyed the rules that no professor here in this University can have an intimate relationship with their students. And it's done now. He passed his resignation letter and went out of this University so congrats to you, you can still graduate tomorrow" He said
I looked up at him as I felt my tears about to drop in any minute
"Well then.., Thank You, Mr. Stanford. I guess we're done here. If you will say anything, can I please go?" I asked
He nodded his head
"Yes, you may.."
"Thank You," I said as I stood up and went out of his office and let out the tears that my eyes having right now
I closed the door and pressed my back against the door and took a deep breath and wiped my tears away
I'm on my way home when I'm feeling so dizzy. I went inside my apartment and closed the door behind when I suddenly felt something sharp in my stomach and I think I'm going to throw up. I ran to the bathroom and threw up on the toilet bowl. I'm feeling dizzy and my head is hurting but that isn't enough compare to hurt and pain that my heart is feeling right now..,
He left..., without any explanations..? He took punishments that he doesn't deserve...
I sat on the tile floor and continued on throwing up..,
I stood up and went to the sink to wash up and stare at myself in the mirror
and asked myself..,
"Am I pregnant..?"
