*Lilly's POV*

It had been a few days since Harrison had started ignoring me and it had been the worst days. I probably seemed dramatic but I hadn't let anyone close to me as I did with Harrison since my last boyfriend who broke my heart.

I'd let him in thinking he was different and he wouldn't hurt me. He was the 'respectful' type of guy. I didn't think he would want to put me through this.

I hadn't seen Harrison since the argument either, because I'd not really left my apartment besides getting the essentials to live and for work. Harrison luckily hadn't worked on the days I'd worked so far.

It was currently 8:00am and I was getting ready for my shift in half an hour. It was a Saturday so I knew that the boys where going to ask me for drinks like we do every Saturday. I knew Harrison would be there and I wanted to avoid THAT situation at all costs.

I was finally ready for work, leaving my apartment and began my walk to work. I had a car but it was only a 10 minute walk and it helped me clear my head. I heard loud footsteps from behind me. I ignored it thinking it was just the locals going for a morning run.

"Lilly wait up!" I heard a familiar voice chirp. I looked behind me seeing Harrison running towards me. What could he possibly want to confront me with now? I kept my pace as I continued walking.

"Hey Lilly..." I heard Harrison say finally getting beside me, breathing in and out heavily obviously being a bit exhausted from the run.

I ignored him for the reason of not knowing what to do or say and because he had hurt me.

"Are you seriously going to ignore me?" He said jokingly letting out a small laugh.

"I'm not laughing Harrison" I replied at his little attempt to make me laugh.

What was he trying to do? Didn't he have better things to do then hang around with the stupid and naive girl that fell for him?

"Look Lilly, I'm sorry I-" he started, but I interrupted him quickly. "Don't apologise" I said sharply.

"Oh... so you forgive me?..." he dragged out slowly as if he was questioning himself at the same time.

I instantly stopped and looked at him if he was crazy. "You've got to be kidding me?" I said quickly walking at a fast pace away from him. "What? What did I do?" He replied innocently catching up to me quickly.

I turned around quickly making him almost run into me. "What did you do? Hmm I don't know let me think. How about you acted as If you were interested in me and kissed me. Countless times. I opened up to you, let you in and trusted you with not only myself but my heart. You forgot to leave out the fact that you were interested in some other chick that you were going to ask to be your girlfriend. So stop acting so innocent" I said through gritted teeth.

I'd finally snapped. I was upset but now I just felt betrayed and angry at what he'd done. I was not the stuttering mess that couldn't fight her battle when he insulted me.

He stayed silent just staring at me. "Yea that's what I thought" I replied turning on my foot, continuing to walk to the tower being almost 10 metres away.

"I didn't know you liked me that much" he replied looking at me as I walked ahead.

I stopped again just wanting to yell at him. At how much of an idiot he was for acting like he liked me. At how much he'd lost my trust and respect. At how much he'd hurt me. At how much he'd broken my heart. But at how much I still liked him.

"Harrison. We almost had sex. I don't know about you but I only do that with people I really like and trust. I don't fuck around with shit like that" I said hissing the sex part out. I quickly ran the extra few metres left to the tower. I threw my bag in my locker before making my way to Hoppo.

"Hey Lilly! You and me are at Southend today. I haven't seen you in ages. I just got back from tafe" Maxi said giving me a tight side hug.

I missed Maxi. He was a really understanding guy who always made me feel better in bad situations.

I grabbed a radio and we made our way towards the Southend. "Lilly please-" I heard Harrison say grabbing my hand to spin me around. I yanked my hand away instantly before whispering "Stop".

I almost felt guilty once I saw the flash of sadness in eyes. But I kept walking beside Maxi. We got inside the Rhino as we drove down the beach. It was completely silent and totally unlike Maxi. I knew I was going to get an interrogation about what happened between Harrison and I.

We'd reached Southend. It wasn't too busy just a few hundred swimmers. It wasn't as busy in the morning, more towards the afternoon was when it got around the thousands of swimmers. This was nothing compared to then but we still kept watch.

Maxi still hadn't said a thing.

"Soo... what happened between you and Harrison?" He said awkwardly. And there it was. "We just... I don't know" I said putting my head in my hands to take a deep breath.

You are not breaking down again. You've cried to many tears over this guy who didn't even like you back.

"He got back together with his ex" I said quickly. "Wait what?" He said loudly. "Yea he got back-" I repeated thinking he didn't hear me the first time. "I know what you said Lilly. What the fuck. Chloe cheated on him? Why is he getting back together with her?" He replied obviously frustrated with Harrison as much as I was.

"Yea. That night I slept over he left to meet her and when he came to apartment after we saw them at Icebergs together saying he was sorry. He blurted out she was now his girlfriend. I felt so shitty Maxi. I just didn't want him to know I cared so I said we could be friends and he just mocked me and left... We saw each other at work and I tried to speak to him but he ignored me. I kept trying and he said I was stupid and naive to have thought he liked me" I said my lip starting to tremble.

Maxi looked at me in sympathy. I looked away not wanting his pity. "It doesn't matter now. Whatever we had is done. He doesn't want anything to do with me anymore. He has Chloe" I said strongly wanting everything to go back to normal.

It was silent for a bit when I heard Reidy over the radio. "Your a fucking wanker Harrison". What? Why was he calling Harrison a wanker so suddenly?

"I know. I fucked up" I heard a reply, obviously being Harrison.

Maxi looked at me with realisation and worry.

Oh shit. I'd been sitting on my radio button. They'd heard everything I just said.
