Can You Help Me? (Setosorcerer)(Book 2)

Chapter 31

Harvey's POV

**************

I entered the cafe, nervous, but excited to see my old friend in person.

I nodded to Crystal's manager, who smiled and looked down to finish what she was doing.

I looked around the empty shop, and found somebody sitting alone on a table at the other side of the shop.

She looked towards me, her eyes widened and a huge smile appeared on her face.

"Seto? Is that you?"

I nodded, pulling my hood further over my face. Even though we are friends, I still don't trust her enough.

I sat down opposite her, and she hugged me over the small table.

"It's so good to finally meet you." She said excitedly.

"Um, you too..." I answered, starting to feel uncomfortable, I know it's mean, but that's how I was feeling.

"I've wanted to talk to you for so long, I've wanted to just tell you how I feel."

I give her a confused look. I have a feeling this isn't going to end well. I think I know what she's going to say.

"What are you on about?" I asked, wanting to get away from this as soon as possible.

I looked around, the manager was giving us a funny look.

"Seto, I just want to say, that I love you, and I always have." She said. I looked at her, shocked.

I had suspected she was going to say that, but to hear it. Did she not see my video.

All of a sudden, she grabbed my face and pulled me into a kiss. She put one of her hands behind my head so I couldn't pull away.

I heard the door open and I panicked, I struggled to try and make her let go, but it didn't work.

She finally allowed me to pull away, and I gave her an evil glare. I looked at the door and met the gaze of...

Oh no, oh...oh no.

Stood in the doorway, Crystal stood there, holding Melody, years stinging at her eyes. A wave of panic rushed over my face.

I froze, she'd seem that, and she's going to have the wrong idea.

Crystal looked at her manager, a single tear falling down her face.

"I'll come back again soon."

She then proceeded to open the door and rush out, holding Melody tightly.

I looked at Emily, who gave me a confusing look. I felt tears coming into my eyes.

"Who was that?"

I turned to face her, and stood up. My anger rising.

"That was my wife! and my baby daughter! Why did you do that?! Did you not see my video explaining this?!"

She looked down at the table, the realisation hitting her hard.

"No...I didn't. I didn't kno-"

I proceeded to make my way out of the shop, tears threatening to fall. I looked at the manager, and she glared at me, anger in her eyes.

I ran out of the shop, my cape flowing behind me. I looked around and Crystal was nowhere to be seen.

I leaned against the wall, and put my head in my hands. I'm an idiot, a real big idiot.

The tears forced their way out, causing me to break down in the middle of the street.

I need to set things straight.
