Summer to Remember

Chapter Four

I stopped laughing but had the biggest smile on my face as I admired the city of London from my balcony. We were both in silence but it was a comfortable silence, nothing awkward. Just at that moment my cellphone began to ring from inside my room.

"I should get that" I said as I ran inside. I recognized the phone number right away and my heart skipped a beat because it was my boyfriend Eric calling. "Hey honey" I said excitedly but all I received was a hi back. "Something wrong?" I asked worried.

"Look Ella, we're over, it just wasn-" he said but I didn't hear the rest. My eyes filled with water and tears dropped onto the floor one by one. "Eric..."

"No Ella, look I'm sorry but I have a thing with Claire" he admitted.

"YOU ASSHOLE! I HATE YOU, GO TO HELL!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. "YOU'RE SUCH A JERK!" I said not controlling my anger but he had already hung up. Then I started bawling my eyes out, not realizing how loud I was until I heard a knock on my door. I quickly wiped my tears expecting my uncle to show up at my door but was surprised when I found Harry instead.

"Ella, you okay?" he said but I just walked over to my bed and sat down with my legs crisscrossed and head looking down. He entered my room and sat beside me on my bed. "I heard you screaming..." he says and my eyes started to water and I couldn't control my tears. "Don't cry" he says noticing the tears drop on my lap but I just turned my head the other way not wanting to seem weak. "What happened?" he asks.

I reply screaming "ERIC BROKE UP WITH ME ON THE PHONE AND CHEATED ON ME WITH CLAIRE, OK? Do you understand now?" right after those words come out from my mouth I start to cry loudly. I bring my knees to my chest and let all the tears escape. Feeling a hand on my shoulder I flinch but relax when I realize Harry's trying to comfort me. He has his arm around my shoulders and sits there in silence listening to my pain.

"You deserve someone better than that anyway" he says breaking the silence.

"You really think so?" I ask as I wipe my tears with the back of my hand.

"I know so" he replies, bringing a slight smile to my face.

"Sorry for screaming at you, I didn't mean to" I confess.

"It's fine, I understand" Harry replies. And then I realized he still had his arm around my shoulders but I guess he realized to because he slowly let go. "I should go now so you can rest" he said as he got up and walked to the door.

"Harry?" I managed to say before he left. He turned around curious and I said "Thanks for everything". His cheeks turned a crimson color and he nodded before closing my bedroom door.
