Okay before we get to the story I need to say, whoever keeps reporting the comments because they have swear words, please stop. It is fucking annoying. Thx.

"I-I can explain, Harper, I-" He rambled.

"You did this, you knew what you were doing. Don't try to explain anything, and don't talk to me," I told him trying not to cry.

"We work together... You have to talk to me," He told me softly.

"I know, but now we're just co-workers.... You were my best friend, and you tried to break my relationship, I told you I love him..."

"I was doing it for you! You know how he is! You know I would never intentionally hurt you!"

"You did though, there's nothing else to it, if this was a mistake. I needed to learn myself," I snapped.

"Harper listen to me, we need to tal-" He started, but I hung up. I didn't care what he needed to say.

Henry looked at me sympathetically.

"You didn't have to do that..." He sighed.

"Yes, I did," I muttered. It was 11:30, I had to be at the quarry in half an hour.

I grabbed a machete off my display and set it down on my bed putting a case over the blade so that I didn't have to worry about it breaking something that it shouldn't.

"What do you need that for?" He asked.

"I have some stuff to do today..." I sighed.

"Do you really need a machete for it?" He asked.

I nodded.

"Well what are you going to go- You aren't going to kill Zeke are you? I'd prefer you to not be in jail for the rest of your life..." He sighed.

"No I'm not going to kill him, or hurt him, I've just got stuff to do... It's hard to explain," I told him.

"Can we talk?" He asked.

"Not if it's going to take more than 15 minutes, I have to leave here by 11:45...." I sighed.

"It will probably take longer than that... Why are you in such a hurry?" He asked.

"I don't know how to explain, but we can talk when I get back right?" I asked trying to get everything together.

"I-I guess," He muttered looking almost betrayed as he stared at the ground. I walked closer to him and used my finger to make him look me in the eyes.

"Hey, I'll be back. I'm sorry," I told him, but I didn't know if I would come back, at least  alive. With my luck I'll come back in a body bag.... As I looked into his beautiful blue eyes, I wanted nothing but to kiss him... But..... like he said before...... we're done....... After that realization that he isn't mine, and I'm not his...... I stepped back from him feeling
embarrassed..

The heat rushed to my cheeks and they felt like they were on fire...

"I-I gotta go..." I muttered.

"You said you had 15 minutes," Henry said softly.

I looked at the clock, Shit I had 14 minutes still.

"I'll be back later," I told him, grabbing my things and rushing out the door. I threw the stuff into the passenger seat of my car and drove to the quarry(very slowly just to waste time.)

As I arrived, everyone was there but Beverly.

"You b-b-b-bring the ma-machete?" Bill asked.
