The Truth Untold

There's going to be a bit of a first-person POV to third-person POV switch somewhere in this chapter, so it can. E confusing. Also you know that all the text that are in brackets mean that they're either dreams or flashbacks, right? For this chapter, it means that it's something that's being played. No flashbacks or anything. You'll know what I mean when you get there. :)

This chapter has been in my brain for the loooongest time, and it's something I wanted to write before I even finished the first outline for it. I'm pretty sure it couldn't do justice to what I have in my head, but I tried my best to write it perfectly.

Enjoy!

[HARRY'S VOICE NOTE / in his raspy, morning voice:

I'm... on my way to the... um... here it is

Hi Patricia, you look lovely, as always.

Say hi. I'm in the flower shop to get some flowers for... everywhere. The flowers in our garden aren't tall enough yet, but they will be.

These are lilies. Are they high maintenance?

How about these? They're beautiful. They're all really pretty.

I'll get these, please. And these ones. Do they... can I get them in pots?

I called Nick a few days ago about the boxed ones? Yeah, okay.

*sings* I'm glad we didn't listen, look at what we would be missin'...

Oh, look at that. Would it be... yes, I brought a car. You're gonna love this. You'll see this later.

My husband? He's still in bed. You won't see him later though.

We'll come together next time. He's gonna like these. Thank you.

I'm going straight to the office now. I hope you're not too tired when you get home from work.

*sings* ...the one that I belong to... You're still the one I want for life...

I'm wearing pink sunglasses today.  You'll see me and you'll think my outfit looks hideous, but I'm gonna wanna kiss you anyway.

*sings* still the one that I love, the only one I dream of...

I'll be driving now. I love you.

END OF VOICE NOTE]

I'd be lying if I said I haven't been thinking of Harry. The problem is, I've only been thinking about him.

Maybe it's because I'd wake up in the morning to his voice recordings, files that I found in a flash drive that's lying around the bedside table about a week ago. I don't really know what they're for, but it's basically just him talking about random things and singing mellow songs. Sometimes I'd pretend that he really recorded them for me so that I can listen to him even when he's away. His voice is soothing and I find myself not having nightmares when I play it at night.

It's a rare feeling, and I like it. But I'll never tell anyone about it.

And it's not like I'm not making efforts to not think about him; I've already found ways to distract myself. I asked Niall to completely stop helping with the house chores. I was desperate to be doing something when I'm home because that's what takes my mind off things. I also asked him to make me run errands just so I won't always be bored. I still have a job— the biggest distraction, at that. I also found out that the kids also know Harry, which led me to remember that he's actually Lux's godfather.
