“If you want to kill me, you can. Next week, kill me before you lose the chance and be prepared, I won’t go down without a fight.” His sentence, yet again, roams around my head. Why does he always leave me in shock and hurt? He is driving me crazy but I can’t seem to push him away because I am deeply in love with this guy!

Before I left the hospital, I’ve already made up mind, and I am hoping I chose the right one. I know, that Harry isn’t that harsh of a person, it’s because I believe in him. I get home, and found no one. I wonder where they are while heading to my room. I plop down on the bed with an exhaustion sigh. I stare at the ceiling in complete silence. I sit up and look around, searching for something that would keep me occupied. My eyes then falls on my diary, which is on the shelf across my bed. I walk towards it, I have almost forgot about the diary, I take the worn out leather diary on which dust has settled down. I wipe it with my hands, which is then wiped on my pants. I quickly open my diary and sit on the bed. I smile at the moments I wrote down about, the memory itself making me laugh. I have been softly smiling the whole time I read the diary, until I reached the page of the dream which started it all. My smile dropped immediately I skimmed through the pages, the next few pages were painted with the same dream as I furiously turn page.

“No, no, no!” I scream at the pages in frustration and roughly threw the diary on the floor. I tug at my hair lightly and let out a long breath, trying to calm myself down. I then pick up the diary, and read through the dream.

Daniel, Anna, Bella.

Green dark eyes, mixed with black.

“Soon, Harry.” I read, I read again and again. Suddenly, as if I have got a piece of memory which was once taken, my eyes went wide in realisation and the diary falls off from my grip and I weakly plop on the ground.

“No, it can’t be. It can’t be him.” I whisper to myself, convincing myself to trust Harry, but my heart is now singing a different song as well as my brain. My heart and my brain, now are in sync and I have nothing but a gut feeling, which is also slowly fading away.

“Oh my god! Em! You scared the living sh*t out of me! What the heck are you doing in the dark!?” I heard Meg, her voice high in surprise, I didn’t even realise the darkness took over the room because I was too engrossed in my grief. I could hear the pages of my diary turn, means Meg is reading them.

“What the actual heck!? You’ve been having these dreams and you didn’t tell any of us!?” Meg scolded me while I stay frozen and not being able to find my voice. She calls out to my mum and mum came rushing in.

“Emily, why haven’t you told us about this!?” she shouted, I could hear a thud which means she threw the diary across the room in anger.

“So, it was the truth?” my voice came out broken and low while I stay frozen. I look at them when I didn’t get any answer from them. They look at me, with confusion painted all over.

“So it is the truth after all.” I said, and scoffed. I nod my head in realisation, I could feel my body heating up in anger and my heart going crazy at the thought of letting my own hopes down. I start laughing, the sound of my laughter echoing throughout the house, my mum and Meg look at me with worry and confusion.
“I am so done with it.” I say to myself and get out of my room, before I could go any further a hand held my wrist with a tight grip. I turn around to see mum deeply scowling at me.

“Where do you think you are going?” she asks me, her voice dangerously low. I look at her, the worry in her eyes is making me feel like crying. I could feel a lump form in my throat, I try to push it down but fail eventually. I aimlessly plop on the floor and slowly let my tears out. I open my mouth and scream while I let my emotions out. I felt warmth around my weak body and I sobbed harder.

“Shh baby, I am here with you, don’t listen to your father, Harry nor anyone else but follow your own heart.” A voice said, I didn’t bother looking around because I am too busy being wrapped by warmth and sobbing. I can also feel someone patting my back and also smell the familiar strawberry scented conditioner.

I wake up feeling sore and found a wet, cold towel neatly wrapped, on my forehead. I look around in confusion, seeing the familiar walls of my room makes me sigh in relief. Then suddenly, the door of my room opens wide. Mum comes in with a bowl from which I could smell the aroma. She looks at me with look of worry and happiness.

“Oh! You’re finally awake!” she said with enthusiasm and also it felt like she is relieved, she then keeps the bowl down and places her hand on my forehead.

“Ah, thank god, your fever is gone.” She said and sighed out of relief.

“What happened?” I ask with my croaked voice, 

“You passed out after crying.” She directly explained and I nodded thoughtfully.

“Look, I heard from Meghan-” she started talking but I stopped her mid-sentence,

“Thank you for telling me to follow my heart.” I said, I gave her one of my genuine and warm smile. My heart warms up at the memory making my smile stretch more.

“Follow your heart…?” she questions me in confusion, and I squint my brows while also smile at her in confusion.

“You didn’t… say that?” I ask her,

“Say what? What are you talking about?” she asks me, her voice lacing with confusion.

“No, never mind. I must’ve been hearing things.” I said, and gently shake my head. But the thing is, I wasn’t really hearing things but actually heard someone saying it. Maybe it was Meghan.

“Uh okay, if you say so.” She said, and I could sense a tinge of hesitation if she should believe in my words or not.

“So you were saying something about hearing something from Meghan?” I start the topic she started with.

“Oh yes!” she said, her voice going high in realisation.

“I heard from Meghan that…” she looks at me, searching for something and also hesitating, I raise my brows and nod, encouraging her to speak further.

“I heard that, Harry has agreed to… kill him but he won’t go down without a fight.” She said, and we both went silent. I opened my mouth and then closed it, not really knowing what to say.

“Look, I understand that you need time to think about it because you have connection with hi-” I stopped her before she could complete by giving her a stern look.

“I don’t need time, it’s already decided. I am going to make him feel the pain he made me feel.” I said, my words filled with loathe.

“Are you sure? You don’t-” she started asking me again, but I give a sharp nod.

“I know what I am doing.” I snapped, but somewhere deep inside my heart, I could feel my heart protesting, before it takes over, I push it down further till my heart and my brain are singing the same song in synchronisation.

“Okay then, let’s start getting you ready for next week.” She said and enthusiastically clapped her hands. I nod sharply in determination and encouragement.

Ugh finally, I actually wrote this chapter ages ago, but then by the time I was going to upload it, my internet died. It will take time for chapter 28 though, because I am still thinking. Hehe.
