Dance Central

Chapter 41

Harmony's POV

-One month later-

At this time, I just want the world to stop. It's funny how time can play games on you when you least expect it to. One day you're moving into a new city to start a new life, then the next you're saying goodbye to the city you once hated but now love.

I remember when I first arrived in the city of New York. I was so upset that my parents had made me move again and heartbroken that I had to leave the guy that I once loved. I remember the nights that I would practically beg my parents to move back home and pray that I could get my old life back. Now, a few months later, I'm begging my parents not to move again. To let me stay in this city that has become my new home. 

I've met so many amazing people here who have become more like family to me. They were always there whenever I needed them, regardless of how rude or annoying I would be at times. They all cared for me and showed me nothing but love every single day.

It took me forever to finally accept the fact that I loved this city. Even if I only got to walk on the busy streets a couple of times during my time here, I never want to leave DCI.

But, to my disadvantage, I was too good at convincing my parents to leave this city that now I have no other choice than to say goodbye to DCI and to everyone here. My parents promised me that I come along whenever they had to make a trip to New York, but what it seems like, that won't be happening often.

I look down at my watch to see the time. 2:37 pm. My parents said to meet them at the entrance at 2:45pm to say my final goodbyes to all the agents. 

I stand up from my spot on the floor and take one last look at the view from up here. I've spent most of my day up here on the roof just admiring the sunny day and the noise from the busy city near me.

As I take the elevator down to meet my parents, I can't help but question if he's going to there to say goodbye. I haven't gone to see him ever since he requested for me to visit that one time a month ago. Everyone thought that it meant that he was making progress, but what happened was quite the opposite of what everyone was expecting. 

Let's just say that it started off great. He just wanted to talk and ask me questions about what people have been telling him about me and the flashbacks that he started getting. I remember hearing him laugh for the first time in a while and I thought that I had finally gotten him back. But then something inside him snapped and I saw the old Glitch disappear again. Everything after that is a total blur. The last thing I remember is Glitch trying to break loose from the restraints he was in and him screaming at me that I was a monster and other hurtful words.

It tore me apart to see him like that and I actually started to believe what he was saying. It took a lot of talks from my parents, Emilia, Taye, and Miss Aubrey and a lot of dance lessons from Bodie, Angel, Connor, Mo and even Little T to finally stop believing what Glitch was saying. I was a complete mess. But once I accepted that anything that Glitch said were just Tan's words, I slowly got better and my confidence went up again.

However, I still haven't gone back to see him. Mo visits him every day and he says that he's gotten a lot better and that he's supposed to get released any day now. But I still refuse to go see him. Even if he asks for me, I don't go because I want to see the Glitch I fell in love with; not the Glitch who wants to kill me.

I walk out of the elevator and I'm greeted by my mom. "I was just about to go look for you. Are you ready to go?"

I nod slightly and follow her as she wraps an arm around me. 

When we walk out of the doors of DCI, I see all the agents standing there with sad smiles on their faces. I quickly look around to try and find Glitch. "I don't think he's coming sweetheart," I hear my mom say as she moves a strand of my hair behind my ear. I sign and look down. I know that he's not the same, but I had hope that he would be here.
