The weather was getting warmer, and the musical was coming closer and closer. We were now a week out from the first show. Today I was running rehearsals with Eleanor at the end of the school day. The flu has been going around, and it happened to catch both my dad and Potter's theater teacher.
Eleanor and I had gotten permission from the teachers to have rehearsal during the last period of the day, and just running through the musical without costumes. This came unexpected for all of us, I mean I'm the one who wore a dress to school.

"Now I know this is unexpected," I say with my hands clasped in front of me. "But hey I got you out of class so you're welcome." There's a chorus of cheers and laughter before I continued. "We're not doing anything excruciatingly hard today, just running through like normal. We won't use costume just so we can get it done by the end of the day. We will be using props though. Sound great?"
There's some responses and I look over at El who looks at me. "Eleanor and I will be switching off being out here when the other isn't on stage," I say "so if you have any questions please see one of us or Lou because he usually knows where we are."
"That's true," you hear Louis say from on stage and some people laugh.
"Let's have a nice run through!" I clap "Set up for Jailhouse Rock!"
Eleanor walks over and stands next to me "You are definitely your father's daughter," she giggles and I shrug. "So I've been told."
Eleanor leaves to run onstage for Heartbreak Hotel, but I stay down on the ground to watch. I come in at the end of the song when we start the other part of the scene, so I was keeping an eye out on the dancers.
"So lonely, so lonely, lonely!"
I hear the auditorium door to my left swing open and then close as the song closes.
"Heartbreak hotel gets so lonely I just wanna-" I turn my head to see who walked in.
"Die,"
Oh
"Die,"
My
"Die!"
God.
Harry.
My jaw slightly drops and when everyone cuts the song all eyes are on me.
And mine are on Harry.
I finally get my eyes off of Harry and I turn to everyone on the stage. "Go through it again," I say please," I add at the end and everyone sets back up again.
"Thena," Harry rasps while I walked over to him. "I wanna hit you," I tell him "I also want to hug you. I don't know which to do right now." I cross my arms and he nods "I was expecting that, let's just talk after rehearsal yeah?" I bit down on my lip "Yeah," I get out "after rehearsal."
----------------------
We manage to get through the entire show, hardly any slip ups. The bell rings a few minutes after we finish the show and we all disperse to our lockers. "Did you drive?" I ask not looking up from my locker, since I already knew it was Harry next to me. "No," he responds and I shut my locker.
"I did." I look at him "Come on."
Harry follows me out to my Jeep, Ash was going to Zoe's after school so he was riding home with her.
I wasn't going home either.
I start driving to where Harry took me the first time we hung out together; his treehouse.
He doesn't say a word, and neither do I.
What do you say to someone you have barely talked with in a month?
A month doesn't sound like a long time, but this one went by so fast.
I pull up alongside the road, the treehouse in view out of my window. I put the Jeep in park and turn off the car, pulling the keys out and setting them on my lap. My eyes trail out and land on the treehouse.
The amount of times I drove past this place in the past month were endless.
I grab my keys and slam open my car door and slamming it shut, storming out into the field. I hear Harry's open and shut quick, him trying to catch me.
"Talk to me," he says "yell at me, hit me, do whatever you need to do!"
I stop and spun around "What I need?" I choked out "What I needed was to know that I didn't hurt you! That I did the best I could to help you!" I shout "I needed to know you were safe! That you were going to get help and be okay!" My chest rose and fell quickly as I spoke.
"I needed to know that we were okay, that we would get through this together!" My eyes stayed on Harry "I thought I did something wrong, that I couldn't help you like I was suppose to. That I didn't love you enough," I could feel my lip starting to quiver.
"You didn't tell me you were leaving, you shut me out," I wipe my cheek "and I know you were hurting. We all were, we all are." My arms fall to my sides and my vision gets more blurred.
"I need to know you still love me."
Harry walks over and wraps his arms around me and mine go around his neck. I let out sobs as Harry cradled my head in one of his hands, kissing my forehead when he did.
"I love you more and more everyday," Harry says resting his head on top of mine. "I needed to get help so that I could be the best version of myself for you. I needed to know I was going to be okay." My hands held onto fists full of Harry's shirt. "I needed to know I could be better for you, for mum, for Gem, for Louis." Harry kisses my head again "I needed to know you supported my decision, and I knew you would."
Harry cups my face "I should've told you, I should've kept in contact with you." His eyes soften "I should've told you everyday how much I loved you, but I didn't. And I'm sorry." His thumb strokes my cheek. "You're okay?" I softly ask and he nods "I'm okay." He kisses my forehead again.
"And we're going to be okay." I nod once he finished "We're more than okay," I tell him "if anything this made us stronger." Harry leans down and gives me a small kiss. "I'm sorry I was really harsh," I softly mumble while resting my head on Harry's chest. "I'm sorry I left without telling you," he mumbles in the same tone as me before kissing my head.
"We're okay."
