Harry's POV

I sit in the parking lot of  the local bar as the drops of rain run down my windows. I don't bother turning on the windshield wipers, the rain stands as a barrier between me and the world. I take a small sip of my beer before putting my car in drive. The roads are wet and my vision is blurry,  a dangerous combination on my part.

I pull into the driveway of my Breckinridge home, as I see my mum carrying a box to the movers truck. I stumble over feeling more drunk then I intended to be.

"Mum what the bloody hell are you doing?" I slur, she glanced at me, perplexed of my lack of balance I suppose.

"Harry darling the question here is, what are you doing, we need to go. My treatment starts tomorrow you know?" She calls. I nod as I begin to speak.

"Ye...yeah I'm sorry mum, I was...I was just out," i slurred once more. My mum furrows her eyebrows walking towards me. I can tell today is one of her good days as she walks without pain.

"Harry? Have you been drinking and driving?" She questions, guilt comes over me. My poor mum has put up with so much while my dumb ass has been drinking and partying the whole time.

"No," I lie for her sake. She walks over to my car and opens the door, pulling out 3 empty beer bottles and a shot glass.

"Harry, are you kidding me!" She screams " that's the most dangerous thing you could do!"

"I'm sorry mum, I wasn't thinking and Bella she..." I cut my self off momentarily , not thinking.

"Bella what?" She questions concerned.

"Nothing, I... I was just saying goodbye is all," i lie walking into the house, grabbing a box.

The van driver glares at me as I take my time loading the boxes. I bite back with a snappy "got a problem?", I'm guessing he had not problem nor the balls to try me.

After all the boxes and belongings are tucked away in the van I close it, hitting the back, indicating it was all set. My mum and I stand back as the van drives off the be shipped.

I'm slightly sobered up from an hour ago, still a bit tipsy I decide to drive anyway. I set the airport address into my phone's gps as my mom gathers her purse and jacket.

The gps points to the way where I originally came and my stomach clenches, knowing I have to pass the apartment complex where I know Bella is.

————

30 minutes pass as I see the stone wall rising slightly above the trees. My heart shatters into a million pieces,as I pass the building enclosing her, I say my final internal goodbye. Tears gather in my eyes and I push them back so my mum won't see. Minutes later we arrive at the airport where my sadness is over bearing. If I wouldn't have been so stupid Bella could be here now so I could give her a kiss and hold her in my arms until my flight was called.

————

I stare out the small window of the passenger plane as we prepare for take off. My only thoughts are of Bella, I wonder if she thinks of me, I wonder if she feels the way I do.

I am instructed to fasten my seatbelt by the busty flight attendant as I've been zoned out through the announcement. Before my belt is fully clicked in we begin down the runway and my life crumbles with he rocks on the pavement under us.

Bella's POV

I lie on the bed in a fetal position as my father talks to me.

"Do you wanna explain what the hell just happened?" She pushes again. I am motionless and the words can't come out. I just lie there without the courage to look at him.

"Fine, don't talk to me," he states and as he walks out my voice speaks before my mind can catch up.

"Dad, wait," he back-petals into the room again, sitting down on the edge of the bed .

"I'm sorry," i state " that was harry, my EX boyfriend," I explain pinching the bridge of my nose, an action I had picked up from harry I assume.

"What happened between you guys? Has he always been this violent? Has he hurt you?" All the questions are overwhelming, my head begins throbbing.

"Dad, I'll explain another time, right now I need to just sleep okay?" I state with a sympathetic smile. He nods, standing from his spot on the bed, closing the door behind him.

All I can do is cry as the situation catches up to me. I wish my mom wasn't too caught up in her new boyfriend, then maybe I could go to her for comfort.
My best friend isn't really in the picture at the moment. My boyfriend is now my ex, and my dad just wouldn't understand. I stand and walk over to the bedside table where my pair of sweatpants and tee shirt lie. I slip them on before sliding myself into my cocoon of sorrow. This day is all too much as I finally find my serenity in the presence of sleep.

(Okay so I'm aware Wattpad isn't the most popular thing anymore but random thought... I really wish it was again because tbh I enjoy reading on here still and it makes me sad that everyone has left. I still find happiness in reading and writing, so if your still here reading you're awesome xx)
