The Way To My Heart

His Return

Your POV
Harry was released from the hospital today... I still never got to visit him. Harry got his Remedial Goodness class removed, which he deserves. He deserves a lot more than that. Evie comes up to me. "Are you ready for Harry to be back." I give her a small smile. "I-I don't know.... I don't think he wants to talk to me..."

"He's probably scared that you're still angry with him.... he's not exactly happy with himself. Last time he hurt Parker, you yelled at him.... he's probably scared that you'll "hate" him even more because he KILLED Parker this time." I nod my head. "..... I still can't believe he did that for me...." My eyes widen, I rapidly turn to Evie. "Wh-What if they send him back to the Isle?!" Evie gives me a look. "Hun, you and I both know that there are plenty of people including, your mother, Peter Pan, and the entire hospital staff who can stand up for Harry's needing to stay.

"He almost died to protect you." I smile slightly. "I know..." Evie smiles at me. "Try to talk to him okay?" I nod. She walks away. "If he'll talk to me." I muttered before sighing and going to my dorm.

Harry's POV
I look out through the window of the limo and see the school. Here goes nothing. I get out of the car and I am immediately greeted by Jay, Gil, Carlos and Ben. "How ya doin' buddy?" Jay asked. "Well, besides the fact tha' I almost died, I guess I'm alright." I smile, and they laugh at my statement.

"You gonna try to talk to (Yn)?" My smile falters. I look down. "I-I don't think I'm ready...." "You still think she hates you, don't you." I nod. "Harry, trust us. She doesn't hate you." I look at Ben. "How can ye be so sure?" "Because she's spent the last month or so of your recovery trying to visit and talk to you, and she's been paranoid that you would be sent back to the Isle, and..." There's no way that's true.... right? "And she blames herself for how you ended up."

"Why is she blamin' 'erself? If anyone had teh be blamed I should be the one teh take the blame." Don't do that lass.... it's not your fault. "She wished that she had listened to you." "None of this is even remotely 'er fault. If anyone is teh blame eht's me!" "Harry, calm down." "Bu-But she didn't do anythin' wrong. I'm the one who messed up!"

They don't respond. "Let's just get to class Harry. It doesn't matter." I sigh and follow.

~Timeskip 3 weeks~

It was the end of the last class that I had with (Yn). I quickly stand up to leave, but she catches my wrist. "Harry, can we please talk?"

Your POV
He stares at where my hand was grabbing his wrist, and with a shaky breath he pulls away. "Harry—" "Please don't say anythin'....." "But I—"

"That night was cold in the kingdom
As I saw you turn
Hiding the frown and tears you blink and
Your pain makes my heart break

Don't cut me down, throw me out, leave me here to waste
I once was a man with dignity and grace
Now I'm slipping through the cracks of your cold embrace
So please, please

Could you find a way to let me down slowly?
A little sympathy, I hope you can show me
If you wanna go then I'll be so lonely
If you're leaving baby let me down slowly

Let me down, down
Let me down, down
Let me down, let me down
Down, let me down, down
Let me down
If you wanna go then I'll be so lonely
If you're leaving baby let me down slowly

Cold skin, drag my feet on the tile
As I'm walking down the corridor
And I know we haven't talked in a while
So I'm looking for an open door

Don't cut me down, throw me out, leave me here to waste
I once was a man with dignity and grace
Now I'm slipping through the cracks of your cold embrace
So please, please

Could you find a way to let me down slowly?
A little sympathy, I hope you can show me
If you wanna go then I'll be so lonely

If you're leaving baby let me down slowly
Let me down, down
Let me down, down
Let me down, let me down
Down, let me down, down
Let me down
If you wanna go then I'll be so lonely
If you're leaving baby let me down slowly

And I can't stop myself from falling down
And I can't stop myself from falling down
And I can't stop myself from falling down
And I can't stop myself from falling down

Could you find a way to let me down slowly?
A little sympathy, I hope you can show me
If you wanna go then I'll be so lonely
If you're leaving baby let me down slowly
Let me down, down
Let me down, down
Let me down, let me down
Down, let me down, down
Let me down

If you wanna go then I'll be so lonely
If you're leaving baby let me down slowly
If you wanna go then I'll be so lonely
If you're leaving baby, let me down slowly." With those words he walks away, not even waiting for me to respond. I open my mouth to say something.... but nothing comes out, and by the time it did... "I love you..." He was gone.
