The Fatal Flaw | LT

V E N U S 

"I still hate you for this." I grumbled lugging my last suitcase into my brother's Range Rover before turning around to glare at him.

I have gotten a much better scholarship at Manchester University but he refused to go there with me and decided that 'I should be more independent' and stayed at University of London. I was studying to be a doctor and UM have offered me a much more better scholarship than what UL offered while I was in my freshman year.

Harry and I were twins and were inseparable ever since we set foot on this world. He acts as if I was a couple years younger than him but in fact he was older than me for approximately 7 minutes and 43 seconds. He and our older sister, Gemma has treated me like a baby and it surprised me that he refused to go to the same college as me since he never wanted me out of his sight, that is until now.

"Grow up and be a woman." He chuckled as we entered his car.

We waved one last time at my mom who was standing in our front porch, wiping away her tears as if she hasn't seen us leave last year. Harry was driving me from our home, Holmes Chapel to Manchester while he'll drive alone to London.

"You know I could have taken the train right?" I asked Harry who was humming quietly to the radio.

"Yeah right, as if." He scoffed, his curls bouncing as he moved his head.

The ride was quicker than I have expected. Before I knew it, Harry pulled up to an old building which was said to be my apartment. I groaned quietly at the sight. Trust me, the offer was amazing and all but being away from my brother sucks big time, although I wouldn't admit that to him.

My dorm room was fairly simple; the designing was up to me of course. I didn't have a roommate, thankfully and the room was slightly bigger than my old dorm in UL. After Harry and I brought my six suitcases in my room, he turned towards me with a sad smile.

"Don't." I warned as his eyes were already brimming with tears.

"I'll miss you little green." He chuckled while going in for a hug.

"I don't want you to leave H." I mumbled through his shirt. He was much taller than me, that's why my face was squashed on his chest.

"I know. I don't want to leave you, too, but you need to be independent and I would be the proudest when you graduate and live your life here without my help." He rubbed my back comfortingly. My tears were falling now, my water works leaving a wet patch on his gray shirt. "I love you V. I am always one call away and won't hesitate to drive for four hours to see you. Call me and text me anytime okay?"

I nodded my head as we break away from the hug. I wasn't being dramatic. It's just the first time Harry and I were going to be separated and I don't know what to do or react when he's gone.

"You need to go H. I don't want you driving in the dark." I smiled, finally letting it sink in that he was leaving.

"Mom said your car is going to be delivered in about an hour. The man will call you." Harry stated looking up from his phone. "I love you Venus, always remember that, love." 

He smiled one last time while getting in his car and driving away.

I wiped my tears with the heel of my hand and made my way up to the elevator. I have to admit, the way this building looks nice on the inside pays for how crappy it looks like on the outside. My studio apartment was white and has a high double bed, no kidding it was a little bit high probably up to under my boobs, perched on the left side of the room against the wall and under the bed were several drawers for my clothes and shoes. There was also a window that overlooked the city since I was on the 16th floor and a small black couch was also settled beside my bed under the window. A flat screen TV was mounted to the left wall with a desk below it that has several drawers for my school supplies. There was also a small bathroom which I was thankful for.
