Real Friends Or Ones of Convenience

34.

Harry

Shit!! I can't believe I have somehow let those damn text get to me to a point now that I've obviously ruined the one day I absolutely in no damn way wanted to mess up with the one woman I'd give my life for. Yet here I am, listening to her yell at us, one and all that all she wants is for us 'shits' as she called us, to get her a bottle and take her home. I guess I'm happy she's not driving herself. Although when the hell did she get so drunk, we were all right here? What I'm not getting is what did I do so bad that she don't even want me around her now, since she's telling Lou and Bren basically to take me back to town with them. She's my priority always and that won't change, as well as  there's nobody else. I don't know what that's about. There's no way I'm not saying anything, she thinks I want to be with someone else? Is she out of her damn mind I love her with everything in me, she said she loved me too, just today. Was it all a lie, I don't even care I'm not leaving her in this state alone.

As we are driving back to her place...

"Nevaeh, what's going on?" I reach for her hand, but she pulls away.

"You tell me Harry, and don't touch me"

I pull over to the side of the road and stop.

"Nevaeh, please look at me"

"Why Harry, why the fuck should I do everything you want?"

"Baby, where is this coming from? What have I done? I thought we were happy and you wanted to go out today with friends, was I wrong?"

"Harry, you're not going to turn this on me, you brought it up to go out. I agreed as I thought you might actually want to do something with me, but it seems as soon as you 'talked' to Louis you changed. I don't know what happened, and right now I don't give a fuck because   I'm just going to prepare myself for the multitude of bombs that I'm sure are coming my way, and I'm sure you and the games you've been playing with me are one of them."

She takes a breath and continues

"I fooled myself into thinking any of the girls would actually care, or that you, a guy coming out of nowhere, like Brian did, would care. Good one, you got me Harry, but you know what, you won't fool me again. Now would you just please fucking take me home and leave me the fuck alone?"

"No, I can't do that. I have not nor will I ever play any games with you. I meant every word I said to you, I love you Nevaeh, even if you don't want to hear it right now or you don't love me back. I'm not going to stop looking out for you, do you understand me?"

"I don't need you to Harry" she takes the ring I got her off and hands it to me "here, give it to someone that needs your saving, because I don't need it nor want it. Now take me home and leave me along for fuck sake, or I'll get out and walk"

"No, don't get out, I'll drive you, this is your car afterall"

"Thank you"

"Anything for you, always, baby"

I finally get to the house being as I took a slow drive just to stay with her. I still don't want to leave her, I wish she'd let one of the girls stay with her, if not me so I could get contact somehow to know she's ok.

Then it hits me...

To Lou: Vaeh is hell bent on not letting me around her. Possibly ask JoJo if she'll stay, weren't they talking a bit?

From Lou: I'll see

From Lou: she says she'll try

To Lou: thank you, I think it's bad this round and not sure why. She even gave me the ring back and said she don't need me to save her.
