Euphonious Memories {H.S}

50.

"Hi Louis. My name is Skyler." I said smiling at him.

"So if I work here I'll work the same shift as you right?" He asked

"Yeah basically we all have the same shift." I laughed

"Sweet." He said smiling and laughing.

"Okay." Gemma said coming to the counter. "Hi I'm Gemma I'm the manager of The Limestone."

"Hi I'm Louis, and I would like a job here." He said.

She smiled at him and told him to follow her to the back so she could interview him.

I waited on a few more customers before they came back out.

"Okay Louis, well I will get back to you later and let you know." She said smiling.

"Okay great!" He smiled and waved to me before he walked out of The Limestone.

"So?" She asked me as if it were my decision.

"So what?" I asked laughing. "You are the one who interviewed him."

"Yeah, but I don't want to hire someone who will be working with you if you don't like them."

"Oh, well he seems fine to me. I mean I don't have a very good judgment on who people really are though." I said and felt my eyes watering when I thought of Harry again.

I turned around towards the cash register so Gemma couldn't see me,but it was too late.

"Townes." She said softly, and of course I broke down again. I don't remember crying this much at all until I met Harry.

She walked over to me and turned me around.

"Townes I promise it's going to be okay. You two have fought before and worked it out you can do it again."

"But that's just it Gemma, I can't do it anymore. I can't keep fighting with him and keep going in circles. It's over, for good this time."

She put her arms around my shoulders and I hugged her back, tight.

That night we went home and watched netflix and ate ice cream like Raine and I used to do before Harry messed me up.

Raine was still in the hospital that night, but she was coming home the next day.

The rest of that night was just as it sounds...miserable.

I woke up to the sound of Gemma talking to someone in the kitchen. I was sprawled out on the couch. I still had makeup on from last night, which was smeared from all the hours of crying that I had been doing. My hair looked as if a rat had made a nest in it.

"No, you are going to have to beat it before she wakes up. And plus I have to go pick Raine up from the hospital." Gemma said, still talking to whoever was in the kitchen with her.

I tried not to move too much just because I wanted to eavesdrop before Gemma saw that I was awake.

"Gem please just let me talk to her." I heard a deep velvety voice beg. My heart stopped the moment that I realized Harry dared to even come into the same room as me or Gemma after what he had done.

"Harry!" Gemma said, in a tone that said "honesty?" I could almost see what Gemma's face expression was in my head, just by knowing the way that she reacted to things. "What you did was absolutely absurd, and I doubt that she will ever forgive you for it. You know how she holds grudges when it comes to lying and being loyal. Honestly I should be the one who is mad, you fucking sent our cousin to basically die."

"Gem." Harry said and paused for a moment before I heard him sigh. "I swear to God I was going to go get her back..."

"Yeah and when were you planning on doing that before or after you were out there getting drunk and thinking that you had gotten some street whore knocked up?"

"NIALL FUCKING SAID!..." Harry started to raise his voice until I jumped a little by surprise and he noticed. I guess he assumed that he had started to wake me up so he lowered his voice. "Niall said that he was going to kill her Gemma." He said and I heard his voice crack after he said his sister's name.

"I understand that you were just trying to protect Skyler, but Harry we wouldn't have let anything happen to her. There was no reason for you to just hand Raine over to him. Because now she has been through hell and back and still isn't herself yet."

"I feel awful about all of this. It's all my fucking fault anyway, I'm such a shitty person. I don't know why I am even fighting for her, Because I don't deserve her. She deserves someone who can keep her happy and not fuck everyone's lives up. That's all I ever do is mess everything up, everywhere I turn I end up ruining something in everybody's life." He said barely above a whisper.

When I heard the words leave his mouth I wanted to hug him, and slap him at the same time for saying that. But then I remembered that he isn't mine anymore.

"Harry don't beat yourself up like this please, yes you did something stupid...okay a lot of really stupid things, but you are still one of the most kind, warm hearted, spirit lifting people in the world and, hey Raine will be alright."

I waited until Harry left, and then pretended to wake up.

"Hey sleepyhead!" Gemma said in such a fake happy tone that I wanted to scoff, but I had to go along with it to prevent a fight.

I ate breakfast then took a long hot shower before we went to pick Raine up.

It seemed like it took hours rather than minutes to get to the hospital from our apartment. There was so much awkwardness between me and Gemma that I could have just screamed.

We picked Raine up from the hospital and the cab ride was a little less awkward,but not much.

Raine was almost eighty percent herself again. She still did weird things like freak out when she saw certain things or heard certain noises. The doctors told us it would wear off though.

When we got to the apartment, I honestly didn't feel like trying to act like everything was perfectly fine and dandy, because it was the exact opposite.

I went straight to my bedroom and grabbed a book off of my bookshelf. It had been a while since I desperately needed to drown myself in a book to get away from my world, but I needed it more than anything at that moment.

The book I was reading was based in a utopian world. The main character acted like the biggest problems in life was chipping a nail. Books have a way of making you think that you could actually have the same life as the main character where everything just seems to go perfectly, but in reality we all have our own stories.

And at the time my story was one that I would not have read about.

A/N:
Current mood: Happy, confused, scared, mad, and wanting to cry myself to sleep listening to One Direction songs due to the recent events that have happened on twitter.
