She's Mine

Chapter 4: Time Heals All Wounds Right?

Emma's POV:

I stood at my locker with tears in my eyes. He'd forgive me, right? He had to we've been best friends for too long. I can't lose him.

I wiped my tears and walked out to my car. I drove to the only person I could right now. My friends and Luke kept calling me to see if I was alright but I couldn't talk to them right now. Liam needed time so I went to see Harper, she would know what to do.

I texted her saying "I'm Coming over... I'll be there soon"

She replied with a "K"

Harper's House: Harper's POV:

I got Emma's text and got up to unlock the door.

Once unlocked I waited for her to arrive.

When she arrived I could tell she had been crying. Her face was red and puffy. We walked upstairs to my room. She had her book bag and purse.

She sat on my bed with her head in her hands. She kept shaking her head saying " I can't lose him."

At first, I thought she was talking about Luke, but after she looked up at me I knew she was talking about Liam.

I whispered as we sat on my bed. "Oh, he found out, about you and Luke."

She replied "Yeah."

She started to explain to me what had happened between her and Liam. I looked up at her.

Ok, I have a serious question. "Do you have feelings for Liam? And really take a second to think about this. Are you just friends or is there something else between you that you don't want to face?"

Emma laid back and looked up at my ceiling. She finally spoke "I'm not sure Harper. I mean he's been my best friend for years. I love him I do, but I don't know if I feel more than just friendship for him."

I replied with a sigh saying " Well you better figure out soon. Before you lose your boyfriend and best friend"

Emma replied with a sigh.

It was 10:20 when Emma left I laid on my bed thinking. After sitting in my room listening to music. I slowly drifted off to sleep.

Emma's POV:

I got home late at night. When I got home I took a quick shower and put on my pajamas. I plugged in my phone since it was dead. As soon as my phone turned on I started to vibrate nonstop bringing up all the text messages I missed over the past couple of hours.

I finally look at my phone once the vibrating stops.

Emma closed her messages. She laid on her bed, she had thought a lot about what Harper said. but even if she loved Liam she was dating Luke. She didn't know what to do. Was she really falling for her best friend

The guy that had been there since they were little.

She always loved him but this was different.

She never worried about who she was around him she felt safe.

She sighed and grabbed her phone.

She replied to Luke with "I'm sorry Luke, but we can't be in a relationship anymore. I can't lose Liam he's my bestfriend. Maybe one day my life will have room for you but right now it doesn't."

She put her head in her hands after hitting send and let out a quiet sob. All the tears trickling down her face. 

She knew exactly what to do. She got up out off her bed and threw on tennis shoes. She grabbed her car keys and drove to Liam's house. She had to see him. His parents were on a trip this week and she had a key to his house. She unlocked the door, expecting to see Liam but all she could hear was silence. As she walked up the stairs to Liam's room she could hear the sound of his earbuds blaring in his ears. She stood in the doorway watching as he had his eyes closed, tears trickling down slowly. 

She could usually tell if he was asleep or not but right now she couldn't tell. She walked into his room and he still didn't hear her. She sat on his bed and he finally paused his music and took his earbuds. 

He wiped his eyes and sat up looking right at me. He pulled me in close and hugged me. I let my arms release as he squeezed me and I inhaled his scent. The very familiar smell of his body. I laid down next to him and finally spoke with my voice cracking. "I'm sorry."
