That night when June was sent home and asleep, I called Harry to come over. When he came he saw me on the porch crying, and he rushed towards me.
“Hey, what’s wrong?” he said patting my back
Suddenly I said “I-I want to end this” with a minimal voice left on my throat.
“What do you mean?” Harry asked and laughed as if it was a joke
“I want to end our relationship” I said stabbing myself mentally.
“Is there something wrong with me?” he asked and started to cry
“No, it’s just that –“ I don’t love you anymore, say it! Say it! Whew, this is for June
“What?” he said tightening his jaws and full of tears
“You don’t deserve a person like me” I said
“Who is? Huh? I don’t want to end this, I chose you, please, I’m begging you” he said kneeling down and holding my hand
“You should be loved by someone better than me, specifically June” I said
“Why?” he asked
“Harry” I said turning around to face him “She cut herself because of you” I said
“You’re blaming me?” he said
“No. She loves you more than I do, you deserve her” I said
“Do you really want me to let go and love her?” he said as I looked at him in the eyes and saw the sadness he was in. I was just standing there speechless not knowing what to say. I tried to open my mouth but nothing came out. I turned around and grabbed the doorknob to leave him but he stopped me.
“I will not bother you anymore, just be honest with me” he said and I turned to look at him with my face so confused.
“Look at me in the eye and tell me that you don’t love me anymore” he said
“I don’t –“ I said, but I can’t continue, deep inside me screams his name so loud that I wouldn’t be able to move. He held his hand on my face to make sure I am looking at him in the eye. Then finally I had that 20 seconds of courage.
“I. Don’t. Love. You.” I said as my face darken looking at his island Green eyes. I turned back and slammed the door leaving him there.
Then the next days, he wouldn’t show up, they said he moved to somewhere far, and that made me take my meds for months.
After that flashback. I realized I was staring at Harry while he was taking, and I couldn’t even remember anything that he said, but then I asked him.
“How are you?” I said and I made his face fade from his smile as we walked forward.
“I’m fine, better than usual” he said, okay so today is June’s birthday, would Harry be a perfect gift? I thought.
“So uhm, do you want to drop by my house today?” I asked
“Actually, I’m about to go there” He said brightening his white teeth with his adorable smile
“Really?” I said
“Yep, it’s June’s birthday right?” he said taking out something from his pocket “And this is for her” he said grabbing a small circular box, my heart beated fast as he let out the amazing bracelet he bought for her. And I am so happy for him, knowing that he have moved on from the past as we all know.
“So how are you and Oliver doing?” he asked. He knew about Oliver?? Ugh! What will I say
“We’re fine” Liar. Erhh. And Silence came.
We both walked on the way home and roamed in silence until we reached our house. I opened the door and saw June eating her lunch, she didn’t notice us at first. I looked at Harry and gave him the go-for-it look. He nodded as he slowly walked inside the dining area. June noticed him and she stood up in shock, she glanced at me and almost cried. She didn’t actually expect Harry coming over. She smiled and hugged Harry and cried, simply missing him so much,
“Happy Birthday!” Harry said as he got his present from his pocket. A bracelet. He grabbed her wrist and put it on her. June smiled and hugged him again. Then Ranz took the spotlight.
“Guys, did you see a gift lying on the floor, uhm, the wrapper is pink with ‘Giana’ on it?” he said
“Hey, Ranz we’ve got to go” Someone surprisingly said from behind. Oh wait, he’s Austin, Ranz’s best friend
“Just wait for a minute, I can’t find it! – Here!, Thanks anyway” Ranz said and left. What’s he going to do with that box? Anyway, back to the present, Harry took a seat as they started to talk, I don’t want to disturb them so I decided to go for a walk. In the middle of the night. with dim lights. Alone. Okay I’m being so dramatic
