Unconditional

Chapter 14 part 1

Speechless. I was totally speechless. I stare back at the boy with the emerald green eyes. Was I mad that he followed us here? Maybe at first, but I can feel that anger slowly fading away. "Harry you just can't follow me here. That is so wrong on so many levels." I stand up completely straight and cross my arms. I couldn't look weak. I needed to look and feel empowering.

"I just accidentally followed you and coincidentally arrived at the same destination as you ."

"How the fuck do you "accidentally" follow me!? That is not normal! That is like stalker status right there!" I made air quotes in the air. I'm in disbelief of what I am hearing. Do you realize how creepy that could have been if I didn't know him. He would have gotten a slap on the face and a call to the police. He moved his weight over to his other foot . He put his hand over his mouth , slightly pulling on his lip.

"Fine, you caught me." He throws his hands up in the air with defeat. He still has the devilish grin on his face.

"Why are you following me Harry?" I relax my body position knowing that I won. I stare at him waiting for his excuse of an answer. He put his hand on the back of his neck. He stares down at his boots then looks back up at me.

"I just.... wanted to talk to you." He almost felt like he was embarrassed by what he just said. If he wanted to talk to me he lived like four fucking doors down to me. It would have saved him the time and money.

"Talk to me about what Harry? I am getting sick of these arguments. My life is already a living hell ,and I don't need you making it worse for me." My throat was starting to close and I could feel the tears forming around the rim of my eyes. I had to look away from him. I wish Alice would hurry up so we can get out of here. My day was going perfectly fine, and then this little shit had to show up.

"Elena, please just listen to me for one minute." He grabs my hand and holds it. I look at him through my blurred vision. "Please."

"Hey Elena I'm read-" Alice finally arrives and saves the day. "Harry what are you doing here?"

"Well, he followed us here." I turn and look at her. Her eyes widen in disbelief. "Are you joking with me right now? Harry did you seriously follow us?" He took a moment before he answered her.

"Yes, I did. But I have a legitimate reason to why I did."

"What's your reason then Harry?" Alice says.

"Yes Harry, I would just love to hear it."

"If you walk with me I will tell you."

"What? Nope that is not happening."

"Elena please. I am really trying here. Just listen to what I have to say, and what you have to say. After our walk if you still want me gone, I will leave you alone." He pleads. I study his face and think about my answer. I could say no, and he would probably still be an annoying little shit about it. If I said yes, I can get all this over with and not have to worry about him anymore. So I decided with my second choice.

"Fine, you get one hour. One hour Harry." I said with my serious tone.

"I will meet you at Zara's in an hour then." Alice says. "Text me when you get done with him." I give Alice a hug and hand her my bags to put into the car.

"Follow me." Harry reaches for my wrists and gently tugs me towards the door.

I smell the warmth of the coffee in the air. There was a fire place in the corner lit up. It was getting colder and colder here in London. Something I ready know I'm going to hate. I see Harry in line paying for our hot chocolates. After 10 minutes of walking I start complaining about how cold it was outside. He got annoyed and dragged me into this little coffee store. At least he was gentlemen enough to pay for my drink. He places the drink in front of me and sits down. I hold it in my hands to warm them up a bit. I take a sip and I can feel the warmth slide down my throat.

"I drank out of that one, well both actually , to see which one tasted better." Harry says.

"How thoughtful." I sarcastically remark back.

"That's us practically making out then."

"Oh so you think your funny?"

"I know I am." Harry throws me a wink.

"Okay , how about we cut the crap out , and you get to your point."

"Umm. Okay."

"You got 40 minutes. You better start talking." Harry looks down at his hands that are intertwined with one another. He closes his eyes for a bit. He's probably coming up with some shot story. He let's out a deep breath and looks back up at me.

"Look Elena. I know I'm a huge fuck up. I have been called that all my life. My step dad would tell me that all the time. My mom didn't know it then, but she finally left him and is with some perfect now." I could see the pain in his eyes. I could see a ten year old Harry crying himself to sleep. It did make sense why he would act the way he does. I do feel for this boy that's sitting in front of me. "I never wanted to be this way, I just can't help it. I'm sorry that I have ever caused you pain. You may never believe me and I'm okay with that. I want you to know I am being real with you right here and right now. I'm not shitting around at all. I'm sorry about the other night . I shouldn't have to force you to tell me what's wrong. If you ever want to talk about it, I'm right next door. I hope you know that Elena." He reaches his hand over the table and place it on mine. I believed everything he told me. I knew that I could trust him too. Why was I so afraid to tell him? My mind goes to memories I have with my Brother. I can feel my bottom lip tremble and my eyes start to tear up. I feel like I am suffocating now. I feel like I am burning up.

"Elena is everything alright?"

"Can we just go outside." I whisper unevenly.

"Sure. Come on , let's go sit on a green." Harry intertwined his hand with mind. I actually was glad that he did. He gave me a reassuring squeeze. I could feel myself calm down a bit, but my tears were getting ready to fall. Harry lead the way as fast as he can. I'm already freezing from the cold, but I can breathe now.

I see the small green with a fountain and chairs. I was surprised no one was here, it was such a cute place. He led us to a bench where we both sat down. I look down at my feet as I think. That's when I completely lost it. I hide my face in the palm in my hands in cry my eyes out. I can feel Harry rubbing my back , letting me have my moment.

"It's okay, just let it out Elena. I'm here for you okay?" I nod my head to let him know I acknowledged that. I lean my head against his shoulder and wipe my eyes with the back of my hand. We sit in quiet for a few moments. I decided that Harry should know why I have been so closed off. If was the only right thing to do in this moment. I took a deep breathe in and slowly let it out. I kept my eyes focused on the fountain in front of me.

"It all started 3 years ago.."
