It's been a week since I last spoke to Genevieve. One week. It feels like a lifetime. I don't blame her for keeping her distance though, I would too in her situation. Theo is such a dick, he almost told her. If she is ever going to find out, I want to be the one to tell her. She needs to hear the full story. It's hard to explain because I technically didn't do anything. I couldn't do anything. I wish I could have done something to prevent it, I will blame myself for it for the rest of my existence. I don't want her to hate me. I'm in love with her, I've watched over her and made sure no harm to her was caused. I've known her since she was a child but I developed feelings for her about a year ago. I've always cared for her, I love everything about her. Her beautiful greeny/brown eyes that I can't help but get lost in every time I look into them. Her amazing smile that melts my heart, you could fall in love with her the second she smiles. Her melodic laugh that is music to my ears. Everything about her is pure perfection.

The event that occurred is unforgivable. No matter how much I love her, no matter how much I care for her, once she finds out, she will hate me forever. I wish I could take back what happened, I would in a heart beat.

I tried texting and calling her last week but she ignored everything. I want to hear from her, I want to see her. I don't want to force her to see me though, that's up to her. She will see me when she's ready and has enough time to think things over. I could have handled the situation a little better but Theo had it coming. I don't want Gen to think I don't trust her because I do, I trust her with my life. But I cannot tell her yet. I want to prove to her that I'm worth her time and I'm a good person. I can be good for her. She's everything to me.

I've been walking for hours now, being out in the fresh air allows me to think clearly. The sun is already beginning to set but I don't plan on heading home any time soon. I just need this time to be by myself and to think. I must admit I am quite hungry. I spot a restaurant in the distance so I speed up a little to get to it. I check the time on my phone, 6:39. I mean that's around dinner time.

I walk inside the restaurant and walk over to the man at the desk.

"Table for one please." I ask and he looks at me.

He looks me up and down with a frown on his face. What's his problem? I mean yes, I'm dressed in black jeans and black top with brown boots but it's not my fault that I only decided to eat here a few moments ago. I roll my eyes and tap my foot on the floor. I'm hungry so hurry up and give me a table. Dick.

He clears his throat, "Umm... table 48, umm... sir." He mumbles and I nod.

"Thank you."

I make my way inside the huge restaurant and search around for my table, I walk over to it and
take a seat. My eyes roam around the room until they lock with the beautiful eyes I've missed seeing. She's staring right at me as I am at her, her cheeks go red and a small chuckle leaves my lips. She bites her lip slightly to stop herself from smiling. Oh how I've missed her smile. I'm interrupted as the waitress makes her way over to me, I watch as Genevieve's eyes follow the waitress.

"Hey, what would you like to order?" She smiles and leans her arm on my table.

I look at her and then at Gen, she has a frown on her face. I think she's jealous.

The waitress clears her throat, "Excuse me sir, what would you like to order?"

I look away from Genevieve and down at the menu, "I would like to have the burger deluxe meal please." I ask and she nods.

"Would you like me to join you? You look kind of lonely." She smiles.

"I have a girlfriend." I state and her face goes red but she recovers quickly.

"I don't see her."

"Turn around." I hear Gen say and I look behind the waitress to see Gen standing there with her arms crossed. She looks so cute when she's jealous.

"Sorry." The waitress says before walking away.

I look up at Gen and smile, she returns the gesture. She turns around and looks at her table, her father and brother aren't looking this way so she sits down.

"I..." We both say in unison and laugh.

"Sorry, you go first." I say and she nods.

"I just wanted to say that I'm not angry with you and I was planning on seeing you tomorrow." She smiles and I sigh in relief.

"I'm glad to hear that, I'm sorry about Saturday. I should have reacted differently, I didn't mean it." I apologise and her smile widens.

"It's ok, I just needed some time. I'm not going to push you to tell me this thing, ok? I'm going to drop it. But I want to know one day, ok? But only when you're ready."

I don't want her to ever find out, ever. But she deserves to know. Just not yet.

"Only if you promise to hear me out when I try to explain. You're going to think so badly of me but please hear me out. This thing that happened is awful, I had no control. I couldn't prevent it from happening, ok? I tried everything I could to stop it. The fact that it happened and I was useless in the situation kills me. I had to watch it happen." I feel a tear fall down my face but I wipe it quickly.

Genevieve's eyes soften, "Harry I'm sure you did try, if you couldn't stop it then it's not your fault."

"You won't be saying that when you find out Gen." I say and she sighs.

"Let's not talk about it for now, I want to enjoy this time with you." She smiles and holds my hand over the table.

I smile, "Ok, but what about your family over there?" I ask and her eyes widen.

"Shit I completely forgot they were here, is that bad?"

I shake my head and laugh, "No! I have that effect on women, they get so lost in my eyes that they forget about everything." I say and she burst out into a fit of laughter, she holds her stomach, her eyes screw shut and her nose crinkles.

"Hey!" I put my hand on my heart, acting as if I'm hurt by her reaction.

"You're suck a joker Harry." She chuckles and wipes her eye.

"I know." I smirk and she smiles.

"I better get going, but before I do. Why did you say you have a girlfriend to the waitress?" She asks and I chuckle.

"Because she was flirting with me and I like someone else." I smile and she frowns.

"Oh."

"I like you." I admit and she looks at me.

"You...you do?" She asks in shock and I nod.

"I like you Harry." She smiles and I feel as if my heart could explode.

"Is that why you claimed to be my girlfriend to the waitress?" I wiggle my eyebrows and her face heats up.

"I just saw that you didn't want her flirting with you so I saved your ass."

I chuckle, "Ok, whatever you say babe, see you later." I wink and she stands up.

"Bye Harry." She smiles and makes her way back to her table.

She likes me.
