Gabrielle’s POV

I saw on my phone that Harry’s aunt was calling me so I quickly hit answer and then sat down on the couch.

“Hello?” I said a bit too quickly into the phone.

“Hey Gabrielle,” she said back with a slight laugh, I guess noticing my rushed tone when I answered since I’ve been waiting for what felt like forever for her to call me.

“So do you know when he’s leaving?” I asked her.

“In about two weeks,” she answered, “That’s what he told me, and I’ll text you the exact date later today or tomorrow when I get it,”

“Okay,” I said.

“So might I ask why you would like to know what day he is leaving?” she asked me.

“I’m not even sure why I want to know, I guess just for certainty that he is really leaving and when he isn’t going to be here anymore. It was just kind of a shock hearing that he was going to be moving back to England,” I told her, not really giving her the whole truth but hoping she wouldn’t care or notice.

“Are you sure that’s the only reason why?” she asked me, seeing through the facade I had put up.

“Yeah, pretty sure,” I continued on, sticking to what I had said.

I knew that on the other side of the phone she was probably giving me a disapproving look since she knew there was more than what I was telling her, and she likes she know everything that’s going on. I knew she wasn’t going to give up until I told her.

“I guess…” I began struggling to find the right words,

“I don’t know, like I said it just came as I shock, and I don’t know if I want to talk to him or if I just want to fully accept that we’re broken up and just to leave him alone now,” I told her.

“Well who says you have to stay broken up?” she asked me and I knew that she was going to go there with this conversation.

“He’s moving halfway across the world, I think now would be a bad time to even ask him that. Plus things are getting so much better with my dad and Bella and I don’t want to ruin that again,” I told her.

“So talk to them, I’m sure if you to ease them into the idea of him they’ll learn to like him, or at least not hate you for it. The why they found out about you two probably wasn’t the most pleasant why so a lot of their anger most likely came from that,” she told me.

“Like I said before though, he is moving to a different country. Even if we did get back together I don’t see how it’s going to last long,” I told her.

“Maybe you could be the reason he decides to stay,” she said to me.

“I don’t know, I don’t feel like I could even ask to get back together, he probably hates me,” I told her. “You don’t know that,” she said.

“I don’t that he surely isn’t happy with me,” I said back.

“Okay well I need to get back to making dinner, but I want you to think about what I said and what all we talked about, okay?” she told me.

“Okay,” I said with a sigh and then said bye to her before hanging up the phone.

I put my phone back in my bag and then got up from the couch to go back into the kitchen. I didn’t really want to think about what she said, it was just going to stress me out and confuse me even more. She told me that I should go talk to him at some point, but I’m beginning to think that it would just be better if I didn’t talk to him at all.
