Turning Point (A Reaching Out Novel)

Chapter Eighty-Three

Harry's Perspective
She left the room before I could say something.
Allana's emotions are flying everywhere.
I was just staring at the door when it opened.
" Allana? " I said; hoping.
" Not quite close, sir. " Austin said
" Austin? " I said
And now, I am suddenly crying.
Not sobbing though.
Tears falling.
" Austin, Allana's pretty angry. " I said
" Sir, she was hurt, pretty bad. " Austin said as he came out of my closet with clothes.
He handed it to me.
" Did you see her leave the room? " I said
" Yes, sir. "
" Where did she go? " I said as I pulled in my shirt.
" Sir, she told me not to tell you. "
" Oh, did she-"
" Don't worry sir, she didn't leave the palace. "
" Not yet though. "
" No, sir. Allana loves you. No matter what. She was the one who insisted to go to Wycombe to come and get you."
" Sure? "
" I was planning to go on my own sir. "
" But, she insisted on coming with you? "
" Yes, but she wasn't angry last night! She got angry a while ago, when she saw the papers. "
I zipped up my jeans.
This isn't against Austin's protocol, clearly, I had my boxers on when he came in.
" What did she do? " I said
" She was having breakfast downstairs, and she saw it, ordered a flamethrower, burned it. Then ordered another paper then tore it to pieces. Then ordered another one, for you to see. "
" Ohh. " I buried my face in my hands.
" Austin, what do I do now?! " I said
" Sir, you should talk to her. Explain. Though, pictures are worth a thousand words, nothing compares to your words sir. "
" That's kinda a problem, Aus, because I can't remember much of last night. " I said
" Say what?!"
I shrugged.
He shook his head.
" Did you tell her that? "
" Yes. "
Austin stiffened.
" Well, that explains the storming out thing. "
" Oh, what do I do now? " I said
" First, apologize. Communication is the key! "
" What's the second one? " I said
" Talk to her. Explain. Try to remember what really happened. "
" Third? " I said
" I don't know. "
I looked at Austin.
" Seriously? "
" I'm just trying to help. "
" I know, Austin. Allana thinks I want a divorce. "
" Well, do you? "
" No. "
" Then make her stop thinking about it. "
" How? "
" See steps one and two. "
