Harry's Point of View

January 8th

"What is it, Gyns?" I wonder as I follow her to our bedroom, taking two steps at the time as she runs the stairs quickly in front of me.

She doesn't talk to me, not a word, not even a single sound. I am genuinely freaking out. What is going on in her head? What is she thinking about? Did she hate my album?

I watch her take off her clothes on the way to the bathroom, dropping them on the ground next to her clothes from last night. What happened? I thought I had fixed everything. We were having a nice time at dinner. She forgave me. What did my album do to make her ignore me?

"You didn't like the album?" I ask her, watching her turn on the shower to let the water get hot as she finally strips her underwear down to the ground and gets in. "Is that it? You can tell me if you didn't. It's OK..."

I think about joining her, but by the tone she responds to me, I stay clothed to shield me.

"No, Harry. I loved the album. That's the problem. It's genius. Outstanding even. And everybody is going to be in love with it. Everybody with be singing all of your fucking songs."

"Whoa! What is that about?" I frown and ask her, pacing randomly in the bathroom.

"Are you really clueless about what could make me mad?" I see her gesticulate through the frosted shower glass.

"Yes, Gyns, please enlighten me, because this album is pretty personal and you are hurting me right now." I try to resonate with the emotional side of her, her compassion.

"Hurting you?! Ha ha! This is funny, Harry, because you are hurting me!"

Well, that didn't work at all, did it?

"How so?" I try to understand as she fuels herself up more and more through this whole argument.

"You sing not only about all your ex lovers, Harry, but about the baby too. How could you even think I would not get at least shocked about it. I just made myself to the idea of it and it was pretty hard for me to make this sacrifice with you. And just like that, you sing this song, which you name in her honour, about knowing the baby is yours and you rock about it like it's no big deal. How could you have known so soon Harry?"

"I didn't."

"You clearly say 'I'm having your baby, it's not of your business', it's pretty obvious you did. It's fucking stuck in my head."

"I didn't I swear, I was joking, the chorus was good and we thought it would be funny. I never thought in a million years it would ever be true."

"See? That's karma hitting you right back in the face." She spits out arrogantly and I don't even recognise her. If I were able to see her eyes, I would know how she feels. "The worst thing is, it's one of the best songs you have. It's groovy and rock and honestly amazing and everybody will be singing their heart out of the pain we are in right now. If not you then the pain I am in right now."
