The Heartless

Mrs. Harper Anakins

"I think you should rethink about this Katy," Matt stuttered.

I looked up at him and then finally rang the bell. We both were standing in front of Harper's house.

"Stop being a coward, can you?" I spitted out all my anger on him.

Understanding what I might be going through, he decided to remain silent. The door opened and a girl appeared. She was thin, not the skinny type, but THIN. Her hair was cut in a medium bob and she wore a black dress. Her heels looked out of proportion because who wears heels while they are at home?

"Who would you likeeee.. to meet?" the girl inquired. Her eyes were questioning and she was a little shy too.

"Harper. Harper Anakins." I said in a stern voice. I had never seen this girl before and Harper had never mentioned anyone like her, to me ever before.

She nodded and went back in the house. Without thinking for a split second, I held Matt's hand and marched inside. I walked through the hallway and towards the lounge.

"Who is it again?" Harper said.

I cleared my throat and his gaze moved towards my end. He froze for a minute and then his eyes went down to my hand which was wrapped around Matt Foyld's. For a second, I cursed myself inside and was about to leave his hand when I realised that he is "maybe" married and this should not bother him.

"Who is she?" I yelled, straight at him.

Harper jumped off the couch and eyed the "thin" girl to go out.

"NO! She stays here. And you tell me right here, who this lady is?"

I was shouting. I was yelling on the peak of my voice because I did not wanted to hear the truth. I just wanted him to tell me to calm down and sort this out. His silence just made me feel nauseous.

"I AM ASKING SOMETHING HARPER!"

The girl stared right at me this time.. "I am MRS. HARPER and YOU need to STOP yelling!" she said it out aloud and clear.

My heart stopped. I couldn't hear anything. It felt like the world around me came to a sudden halt. I looked up at Harper and he was staring at me with apologetic eyes which were enough to tell me that this was not a lie. He was married. He was not busy. He was just married now. I stumbled backwards into Matt, who held me close to his chest. His arm around me felt like an iron stand, crashing me hard or maybe I was too vulnerable at that moment.

"DON'T TOUCH HER YOU FILTHY DOUCHEBAG!" Harper shouted.

I swung back in his direction and gave him my final absolute look.

"This lady in this OHMYGOD amazing black dress is your wife and you are telling him not to TOUCH ME? You are disgusting Harper Anakins."

My eyes followed to the girl one last time and I smirked at Harper. He hated it. He hated when I smirked at him because he knew that it was filled with hatred or disgust or both. I ran outside and Matt followed me. I could hear Harper pleading me to stop and listen to him but he was the last person I would want to talk to ever. I kept running for endless time and when I came to a halt, Matt was right behind me.

"Are you friggin mad? You are going to hurt yourself Katy!" he yelled at me and that was the last thing I heard because I went swirling down on the floor and everything went black. Just the way it should have been.
