"H-Harry?" her voice spoke, the voice I haven't heard in so long. I missed it.

"Yeah, how have you been?

"H-how did you get this number?" she asked, fear in her voice.

I furrowed my eyebrows and I grabbed my gym back, heading inside the double doors.

"Mum, I know that it's been a while, and I know what you've heard about me. But, I don't want you to fear me, I'm your son." I said, walking to a bench by a lifesize sand bag.

"Harry," she sighed. "Harry, I just can't talk to you right now."

"Mum, it's all a lie, I didn't do it." I whispered into the phone, seated on the bench.

"How can I believe you? After all you've put Gem and I through, how?"

I was silent, my eyes stinging slightly.

"I promise, I didn't do it. Please," my voice cracked. "please, believe me."

The other end was silent, not dead because I could hear her faint breathing, but silent. After numerous seconds passed, she spoke, her voice hoarse like she had been crying.

"I have to go."

"Mum,"

"Goodbye." she said, strained.

"I love you."

Four seconds passed, then the call ended. I dropped my arms, leaving it to rest on my knee. I felt my bottom lip shake, I inhaled so my chest was as far out as it could be. I then let out a long, shaky sigh, running my hands up my face.

I didn't even feel like working out like I had planned to anymore, I felt too weak. Too dismal. I grabbed my things and walked out, acknowledging but avoiding the stares of strangers. They were questioning why I had come in here to not work out no doubt.

I walked to the black car, easily identifiable by the missing driver's side window. I got in and slammed the door, seconds later hitting my head against the steering wheel. So many of my emotions were swirling inside my mind right now, regret, sadness, anger, hurt. I called Liam's number and waited until the second ring.

"Harry?" he asked, I could hear someone talking in the background.

"You busy?"

"I can ditch, why?" I could hear the person in the back stop talking.

"I need to break something."

...

I cracked my knuckles, and they sounded with a loud popping noise as Liam walked over to me. He handed me a baseball bat, and he had one of his own.

"It's a junk car. My uncle works here so we get to destroy any cars that are impounded, so you know, go nuts." he said, leaning on his bat balancing on the dirt.

I just stared at the car, the bat hanging from my hand lifelessly. I just wanted to hide. Run away, forever. But I can't. So, until I can, I have this.

I swung the bat at the windshield of the faded red car, hitting it on the drivers side. A large circular crack formed in the broken glass, a pattern of shards. I hit the driver side window, sending it to pieces on the ground.

Liam just stood back, watching me break down. He had encountered this so many times before, it's nothing new to him. I threw the bat to my right, Liam stood to my left and took a step back. I stood there, my hand hovering over my belt buckle. I one swift motion, I snatched my gun and aimed it at the side door.

"May I?" I asked, my teeth gritted.

I looked over my shoulder to see Liam's shrug. I shot four times at the door, then shot all three remaining windows out. My arms fell to my side, gun gripped in my right hand tightly. My index finger hovered over the trigger, but I put it back under my belt.

"You done?" Liam asked, placing a hand on my shoulder.

I looked at the car, broken glass scattered on the dirt. I walked to the driver's side and opened the door, sitting on the seat and gripping the wheel. I adjusted my back so I was sitting straight, and I finally exhaled deeply.

"Yeah," I breathed out. "yeah, I'm done."
