~Harmony's POV~

He walked in the coffee shop about an hour after I got there. I knew it was him, even before he came and sat down across from me. How could I not know? Who else comes to a coffee shop at 4 in the morning? Exactly. He asked me if I was okay, I think. I vaguley heard something come out of his mouth that sounded like 'Are you okay?' But I couldn't be sure. I just groaned in response. I handed him the letter and said, "Everything you need to know, sorry I couldn't say it to your face." To me my voice sounded strangled and wrong, it was raspy and deep, like I hadn't spoken in weeks, I mean I didn't really, just a few words here and there. I walked out of the coffee shop before he could read it. I didn't want him to read it, but he was right, I needed help and I wasn't going to get it by keeping myself locked up. I decided to just walk down the street, I wasn't ready to go home yet.

He found me at the park, the park where he took me the first time we met. He sat down on the swing next to me and for awhile we just sat there, in a comfortable silence. I could feel him looking at me, but I didn't to look back because I knew my eyes were bloodshot from crying so much. He stood up in front of me.

"I-I'm so sorry." He said in a strangled whisper. I shook my head as if to tell him to stop, that he had nothing to be sorry for. He pulled me up off the swing and into his arms. His embrace was strong and I never wanted to leave it, it made me feel like I wasn't going to break anymore. After awhile of standing there, in his embrace, I realized I was crying again. I pulled away and looked up at him, sheepishly, because I had gotten his shirt wet with my tears.

"I'm sorry, I-I didn't mean to-" I start to apologize.

"No stop, it's fine, really just, just please don't cry, you're to beautiful to cry." He mumbled the last part and I wasn't sure if I had heard him right. He pulled me back into him and kissed the top of my head.

"Why are you being so nice to me." I said into his chest.

"What do you mean?" He sounded so confused and hurt.

"I mean, after everything that you read in that letter, you're still here, why?" I looked up at him as he frowned.

"I-I don't understand. where else would I be?"

"I don't know, with someone who isn't crazy, someone who doesn't have so much pain in their life that they can't even function right?" I looked up at him again, with tears in my eyes then when I saw the hurt on his face, I pulled out of his embrace and looked down at my feet. 

~Chason's POV~

"I-I," I didn't even know what to say to that. "What are you even saying?" I put my hand under her chin and pulled her face up to look at me, she was crying again and it hurt to see her so broken. "Listen to me Harmony, Three weeks ago, I didn't even know you exsisted, but now that I do, I don't think I could ever ever leave you, especially now that I know a little bit about your past. You are soo strong on the outside yet on the inside, you're broken, just begging for someone to come rescue you from yourself. Now, knowing that, I wlll not go anywhere unless you want me to leave because from the first moment I saw you in that coffee shop, I was drawn to you, and now I'm completely under your spell. Im not going anywhere. I can't." She pulled her chin out of my hand and I let her knowing that I shouldn't push myself on her. She started to back away.

"I-I can't Chason, I-I'm so sorry." And with that she ran away.

"Harmony! Harmony wait! What did I say?"
