It Won't be Long Now (sequel to adopted by mullette)

Theodosia

I took a deep breath and watched. Surely he'd push her off, right? He wouldn't do that to me. He wouldn't. 

He wouldn't...

right? 

I watched, this was dragging on, he didn't even try to push her off. 

I gulped, swallowing my feelings and backing out of the parking spot. I was headed home. I already couldn't see. It was starting to rain and I was about to bawl my eyes out. Can you blame me? You go to meet up with your boyfriend and find him with someone else. It hurts like hell. 

I pulled into the house and walked in, slamming the door.

"Harper wh-" Herc started. 

I whipped my head around to stare up at him. His face turned to shock. I had tears covering my face. A pathetic face.  I turned on my heel and ran down the hall into my room. I slammed my door and collapsed on my bed. Sobbing my heart out. 

It's not fair, I thought he loved me? I thought he truly wanted to be with me. I loved him, I loved him, I still love him. Does he even love me? 

I heard my door open a little, I pulled my blanket over my head. 

"Harper, honey are you okay?" It was both Laf and herc. Though I wasn't paying attention to who was talking. 

 "leave me alone.." I muttered. 

I heard footsteps, then a weight on my bed near me. Then more footsteps that stopped in front of my bed. 

"No, why're you crying?" 

" please go away.." I said, in my pathetic sobbing voice. There was a beat of silence. Then which ever dad it was got up and they both walked to the door, talking. Then left. They'd be back. I knew it. 

Nearly a half an hour later there was another knock. I heard someone come in and close the door behind them. 

"Harper?" It was Eliza. Wow, they went and got her to help?

" What..?" I was still crying, unfortunately, my voice showed it. 

She pulled the cover off of me and smiled. 

"Cmere, babe." 

I sniffled and got up, practically throwing myself into her arms and sobbing into her shoulder. 

She rocked me a little, rubbing my back. 

"Let it all out, hun. I got ice cream," she said softly. 

She held me there for 10 minutes. Then I could calm down and we sat against my wall, netflix in front of us, loads of blankets around me and a pint of ice cream in my hands. 

"She kissed him! And he di-didn't even move!" I said, defeated. 

"wow." she said simply. 

"Wow wow wow. Philip Hamilton, a cheater. Y'know I dated Alex once, he cheated. Pip better not follow his lead." 

I sniffed.  "really...?" 

"Eyup. Course' he'd never do that to John. He's much more mature now...I think. " 

I laughed quietly and nodded. 

"Yeah.." 

"Listen, Philip was raised right. If something is really going on he'll tell you. He can't handle guilt like that. But watch him. If he avoids certain topics and refuses eye contact. Question him." she nodded. 

"okay...thanks." I smiled weakly.
