Dance Central

Chapter 35

Sorry it's been awhile. I hope you guys like the chapter!

-Recap-
Lima finishes typing on her iPad and shows us the video footage, and there it is. In plain black and white. The footage of Harmony and I going into the time machine. Oh, this is not good.

Harmony's POV

"I can't believe you Glitch! You had one job and that was to protect Harmony from finding out the truth. That's it. Now she's in more danger than she already was, thanks to you!" Rasa says while raising his voice. I've never seen him this angry before in my life. It makes me feel guilty seeing him like this. Knowing that the reason behind his anger is the feeling of pure disappointment and fear. Disappointment of putting all of his trust on a single person and of himself. Fear of losing the people that he spent years trying to protect from Tan. All these feelings for something that he couldn't stop. That nobody could ever stop. I guess what they say is true. The truth will come out, regardless of how hard you try to hide it.

"Harmony deserves to know the truth Rasa. You can't just tell someone they're in danger and lock them up in a building without a reason."

"That was not your job Glitch. We know that Harmony needed to know the truth and we were planning on telling her-"

"When?" Glitch interrupts Lima. "After all of this is over? When she's already married and has kids? Is that when you were planning on telling her the truth?"

"Of course not," Rasa responds.

"When we planned on telling her is not your concern, Glitch. Your number one concern and priority should've been to protect her. You promised Sarah that you were going to protect Harmony. Now you've failed to do that, just as you failed at teaching her how to fight. Don't you think we know what you guys have been doing these past couple of days? We know about this little relationship that you both have been trying so hard to hide." Lima says, while looking at both of us with pure anger in her eyes. This was the first time I've ever since her this mad as well.

"We trusted you Glitch, Sarah and Matthew trusted you to help take care of Harmony. You broke not only our trust but Sarah and Matthew's as well. That's why we have to punish you for what you did and you know what that punishment is, right Glitch?" Rasa says, lowering his voice but his anger still present.

"Y-yes, sir." I hear Glitch respond and start to take off his DCI watch. It is then when I look at Glitch for the first time since Rasa and Lima started scolding him. He looked so different than earlier today. Just before we came here he was happy and full of joy and hope. Now, all of the hope and joy has washed away from him, leaving behind a sad and broken person. He looked like a part of his life had just been taken straight out of his hands without warning and there was nothing that he could do to retrieve it.

"W-what's the punishment?" I say finally gathering up the little courage I had in me to speak. I can't help but feel like this is my fault. No one would be looking this way if it weren't for me and my curious mind.

"Do you want to tell your 'girlfriend' what the punishment is for breaking the number one rule here at DCI Glitch?" Rasa responds without looking at me.

"Anyone who breaks the most important rule of DCI is punishable by immediate termination of the company, which means that I-I-I....h-have to l-l-leave DCI...forever." Glitch says, holding back the tears that were visible in his eyes. He looks over at me and I feel myself break inside. I'm going to lose him. I'm never going to see him again... "I-I'm so sorry Harmony."

I feel the tears start falling down my face. "Y-you can't l-leave Glitch. You're the o-only one I can trust now. I-I need you h-here with me."

"I'm sorry but I can't stay. I have to go Harms," He stands up from his seat and I do as well just in time for him to embrace me in his arms. We've gotten so close over these past few months and now I'm losing him. I cry into his chest as he hugs me tighter, like if I was going fade away any second. The hug ended sooner than I wanted it to. I look up at him as he looks down at me, wiping the still falling tears from my cheeks. "I'll see you again Harmony and I promise that I will still love you no matter what happens." He gives me a quick kiss on my forehead before letting me go completely.

A few guards walk towards Glitch and start escorting him out of the office to the entrance of DCI. He gives me one last wave and smile before he's forced to walk out of the doors and onto the raining and dark streets of New York City.

Little did I know that was going to be the last time I would see that perfect smile of his for a long time.
—————————
So I would like to first apologize for this extremely late update. I know I said that I was going to start updating sooner but I got extremely busy because that's just how life is sometimes.

But now I'm not as busy (or lazy lol) as I used to be so I will start updating more often because I want to finish this book and the other one that I have before the school year starts.

Even if this fandom is kinda going away, I'm still going to finish these stories.

Anyways, thanks for reading and see you guys soon with another update!
