Henry's pov❣
It's been three weeks now of Anna's return from the hospital. Three weeks that I haven't seen her. Three weeks ago I made that mistake and I regret it so bad. I missed her so much. She means everything to me now but i need to prove it to her even though she doesn't remember me or anything I'll make her remember me and I'll prove to her that she is more important, more important than some fucking reputation I tried to keep
I was on my way to Anna's house to pick her up for school. At least even though she doesn't remember me. I'll try to give her a good impression about me because I love her.
I pulled up my car at the front of her lawn. I walked up to her door and knocked twice on it. The door opened, expecting to see Anna I saw her mom.
"Good morning" I gave her a small smile moving my head side to side to check if Anna was around.
"Morning dear. Anna is not around she has gone to school.... Look Henry she needs to start new life, Anna has been through a lot and it hurts me to see her this way because... because of the mistake you made. Henry I know it's hard for you to also see Anna in this kind of situation and since she has this short term memory loss and she can't remember you I'm sure you'll want to start afresh with her and make up for what you did to her.... But please don't hurt her... Don't hurt her again" Anna's mum voice was laced with concern and her eyes was all watery as she wanted to cry. I hugged her tightly as her patted her back and then let go of her.
"I promise" I held her hands in mine "I promise I won't cause her any harm, I won't let any harm come to her, i- I regret what I did to her, I'm the cause of her problem now, I'm the cause that she's in this terrible state now and I regret it. But I promise i'll make it right" I noticed the sting I felt in my eyes as tears wanted to fall but I quickly brushed it off with my hand.
She gave me a small nod and I walked to my car, started the engine. I was so frustrated, I hate myself right now. I'm so stupid. I let out a loud shout I can't take this anymore. I can't live like this anymore I can't bear the pain I'm feeling right now. I just lost someone close to my heart, someone I love so much. I can't give up yet. I'll do anything to get her back. Even if I ruin this so called reputation.
"Yo man... I can't believe you missed this morning drama" Brent, a guy from the football team placed his hands on my shoulder as I walked to my locker.
"What are you talking about" I wonder what story he wants to tell me now. I don't have time for his lame talks. I really had a lot on my mind now.
"That whore you dated hmmm what's her name again... Anna yes Anna... And Sharon pulled up some show this morning" I could feel the anger boiling in my veins. How dare he Call her a whore . I pushed his chest with force so hard that he almost fell to the floor with that contact.
"Dude... What the fuck is wrong with you"
"Don't you ever call her a whore you hear me!!... And that also goes to all of you" I looked at the people that where watching us in the hallway.
I took the book I need for the first period. I had biology and Anna also had the same class with me. I wonder how I was gonna face her in class.
Fortunately and unfortunately the bell for the first class rang. My heart was beating so fast now I was scared of what her reaction would be if she sees me although she has short memory loss and she don't remember me but what if she sees me and maybe a memory of me might trigger. I shook my head at the taught of what could happen.
I was at the front of the classroom door hesitating if I should open the door or not. I took in a deep breath as i opened the door. Suddenly everyone was silent and their eyes were all on me. A normal daily routine for the most popular boy in mortlake high. Then the girls were looking at me with seductive looks on their faces while the guys were calling my name, cheering for me and where also looking to a direction and was laughing.
I followed their gaze and it landed on her.
Anna.
She was looking at me with confusion in her eyes she sat with her bestfriend Hailey, maybe she remembered her because they are so close. Her face looked a little bit pale but she still she looked very beautiful. I stared at her for a while thinking about all the good times we spent together. But she can't think of them, she probably don't even know me anymore. I caused all this to her it's all my fault. I felt so guilty, I stopped staring at her a small frown placed on my lips.
I saw brent sitting down alone so I walked towards him. Atleast I should apologize for my behavior towards him earlier. I sat down beside him placing my book on the table.
"Hey man. Sorry about earlier.. I was angry about some issue from home and I let it out on you"
"It's no big deal" he shrugged. Just then the biology teacher came in.
"Hello class" Mr Harris said placing his books on the table while opening one.
"Hello sir" everyone in the classroom chorused
"Welcome back to school Anna" he said smiling at her. Attention was now on her and some of the students were chuckling or laughing at her while she bent her head low.
"So..." Mr Harris said diverting the attention back to him before he continued "The time for your graduation is coming soon and as you all know you guys will be given tests" he said adjusting his eye glass. "And for my test I'll be pairing you up to work on something. So listen to you names and no changing of partners" he said looking at everyone of us then he looked at his book.
"Matilda Evans with ace sparks"
"Sharon Mendes with Hailey Stratton"
"John Macaulay with Mary Jane"
I took in a deep breath praying silently that this pairing up thing should not be cliché with me. But...
"Henry Donovan with Anna dobriv"
I shifted my head towards her and she did the same thing.
Looks like God wasn't answering prayers at this time.... Or maybe it's just my prayer.
❤❤❤
