Euphonious Memories {H.S}

41.

It was official again. Harry and I were back together. I gave in before the two weeks, but I realized that I was being sort of a control freak.

I was at work, and Ethan was wiping tables. He came back behind the bar where I was and wiped the bar.

"Hey Ethan?"

"Yeah?"

"So Harry and I are back together..."

"What?" He looked devastated.

"Yeah I realized that I was being a little hard core on him and that I needed to lighten up a little."

"Oh...well that's great, I guess." He said and went back to wiping tables.

"I was going to ask you if you wanted to come hangout tonight." I said feeling bad.

"Uh sure, I guess."

"Great! We should have a game night instead of movie night this time." I suggested.

We had been having so many movie nights that I got sick of it.

"Yeah okay."

I fixed a customer some coffee and gave them a muffin. When I turned back around from the coffee pot, Harry was standing there smiling at me.

"Hey boyfriend." I said walking around to the other side of the bar where he was.

"Hey girlfriend." He said back and kissed me with an hug.

"So Ethan and I just made plans for everyone tonight." I said excitedly.

"Yeah? What are we doing?"

"Instead of movie night again we're going to have a game night."

"Sounds fun." He said, sitting down on a barstool.

"Hey no PDA while you're on duty!" I heard Gemma say when she saw us kiss again.

"Sorry." I apologized softly and walked back around to the other side. Harry just laughed.

Customers started coming in like crazy, so Harry left so that I could focus on coffee.

After what seemed like longer than usual, it was finally the end of my shift. Ethan worked a longer shift than me on Friday's, so he was going to be there for another two hours.

"Hey don't forget about tonight!" I said, reminding him.

"I won't. What time do you want me to come?"

"Um around six, six thirty." I Answered his question. I knew that I would have time to get food ready if he came at six.

"Alright got it." He said and continued handed out coffee's to tables.

I walked out of the coffee shop and heard my phone buzz.

I pulled it out of my purse and checked to see who it was from.

Harry: Meet me at the bakery ;)

Me: Why?

Harry: Got a surprise!

Me: Really?! Be there in a few.

The bakery wasn't too far from The  Limestone. It was only about a block away, so as I walked there, I wondered what the surprise would be that Harry had for me.

I got there, and Harry was standing outside of the bakery Waiting for me.

"Hey, What's this about a surprise?"

"You'll see." He said smirking.

He grabbed my hand and I followed him.

I had no idea where he was taking me or what the surprise was.

"We're getting close." He said when we passed the library.

"Come on! Just tell me what it is."

"Then it wouldn't be a surprise." He said smiling. I playfully hit his shoulder and continued walking.

We walked for about an hour and I was starting to get tired. We walked behind some buildings and there was a beautiful stream and a blanket was spread out on the grass.

"Oh my God!" I said absolutely surprised.

"Picnic?" He asked.

"You did this?!" I asked extremely happy. "Harry this is beautiful." I looked around at the trees and grass. "I didn't even know there was land in New York!" I laughed.

Harry's phone buzzed in his pocket and he answered it.

"Hello?" He said and then paused, looked at me and his expression went from smiling to serious. "Are you sure?" He looked at his watch and then me again. "Okay, we will be there in half an hour."

"Who was it?" I asked him when he hung up.

"It was Gemma." He said in a stern voice that I hadn't heard in a while. "The police called her, they found the shooter."

"They found him?!"

"Well they know who it is, but haven't caught him yet."

"Does Gemma know who it is?" I asked following him back to where we came from.

"No they are going to tell us all at the same time."

"So where are we going?"

"The police are coming to your apartment to tell us who it is."

"Oh."

When we got to my apartment, Gemma was sitting on the couch looking like a nervous wreck. I ran over to her and hugged her.

"They will be here any moment." She said, looking at her fingers, which were shaking.

"Hey it is going to be alright." I said and hugged her again.

There was a knock on the door and Harry answered it, letting the police in.

"Gemma Styles?" One of them asked looking at Gemma.

"Yes?" She said nervously.

"We have found the shooter. It wasn't easy, he was wearing a mask, but we were about to get the street security cameras from earlier that day to reveal his identity."

"Okay?" She said so soft that it was almost a whisper.

"Here is a picture of the suspect with the mask." The officer said handing her a picture of the guy that shot me. "And here is a picture of the suspect without the mask." He said and handed her another picture.

"Oh my God!" She gasped dropping the picture to the ground before I could look to see the guy's face.

"Miss, do you recognize the suspect?" The other officer questioned her.

Gemma had her hand covering her mouth and she slowly nodded her head yes. She looked at me wide eyed making me more curious.

I bent to the ground and picked up the picture that was lying face down. I turned it over and saw the face of the person who shot me and killed my roommate.

When I saw his face my heart leaped and I felt like I was going to pass out.

"No." I muttered "Officer , that can't be right! Are you sure he is the shooter?"

"We have evidence, miss it's certain."

"Oh my God." I whispered.

"Who is it?" Harry asked walking over to where we were standing.

"It's Ethan." I said in shock.

I couldn't believe that all this time that they were searching for the shooter, he was right under in noses, right in my apartment.

Then that's when I remembered something. I looked at the clock and saw that it was 5:45.

My heart began to race when I realized that the murderer of Harry's cousin and my roommate was on his way to my apartment and would be here anytime.
