The One

Chapter 29

"Mom, hey I am leaving to meet some friends maybe we can catch up on that lunch another day sorry."

"Don't worry go have fun with your friends."

"Thanks mom," I say grabbing the door knob and walking out to my car. I head into my car and drive off to Harry's. It takes me a while to get there with traffic going on. But I finally make it, someone almost crashed into me because obviously they don't know how to read a stop sign. I get off my car and head inside Liam's house.

I knock on the door. Harry answers the door. "Hey beautiful," he says greeting me with a hug.

"Hi handsome."

I come in the house and walk with Harry over to the backyard. The yard looks more colorful, with roses and flowers all around the yard. The pool looks like it recently was cleaned. A table is set with 2 plates.

"Who's that for?" I ask Harry.

"For us," Harry says as he takes my hand into his and walks me over to the table, he pulls out the chair for me to sit.

We have dinner and some chocolate cake for dessert. After being outside for like 3 hours and the fun I had pushing Harry into the pool, we head inside. Harry changes clothes and I wait patently in the bed. As I am sitting there I look around his room, he doesn't have much stuff but I notice a stack of books and notebooks on the floor.

I dig through all of the books, papers, and notebooks and I find a interesting book. I stand up and face Harry as he comes in walking.

"I thought you didn't like this book or any kind of books," I say to him as I show the book.

"I see you found my pile of books. Well you just discovered a secret of mine I do like books. And that book happens to be one of my favorites."

"This is your favorite book?"

It seems we have something in common, we like the same book, but I wonder why Harry likes it if he isn't that kind of guy.

"Romeo and Juliet is your favorite book?"

"Yes," he says as he takes it away from my hand and puts the book right where I found it.

"Why do you like that book?" I ask.

"Its a good one of like how-" he pauses, then continues. "Let me put it like this, Romeo and Juliet do whatever it takes to be together, because they love each other. They both died loving each other, and their love was a strong bond."

I staid quiet and listened to his words. It looks like he has read this book various times. But how come for English class he didn't even read anything.

"And have you ever felt like that? That you have a strong bond of love with someone?"

"I did."

His words hurt me just a bit, I expected him to say he did and that person he had a strong bond with was me, but I guess not.

"With who?"

He takes a seat on a chair beside the bed. "Its in the past, I don't want to talk about it."

Harry changes the subject. But my consious gets to me, I want to know.

"Do you still love her?" I blurt out.

His eyes widen as I blurted my question. "Ariana I don't want to talk about it," he says raising his voice and his face looking serious.

"I just-"

"I said drop it!" he shouts. I flench as he shouted.

I shut my mouth, grab my bag and walk out the door. He doesn't stop me. I get in the car and drive all the way to Santa Monica. Its 8:00 pm its not that dark out yet.

I park at a Starbucks, and head inside. The place is quiet and everyone seems to be busy in their laptops, phones or reading. I get in line to order.

"Hello what can I get for you?" the cashier asks me with a smile. He reminds me of Austin, tall, blonde hair put to the side, skinny but not that skinny, and with blue eyes.

"Could I have a Venti iced coffee," I say.

"Sure," he says as he writes it down on my cup. "Could I get your name?"

"Ariana," I say. It seems like he is trying to flirt, I can feel it, he keeps staring down with a wide smile, like a baby.

"Thats a beautiful name," he says.

"Thank you-" I check his name tag. "Thank you Nate."

"Welcome."

I pay for my drink and move to the side so the next person can order. I catch Nate looking at me and then looking away. My name is said and I grab my coffee and walk to sit down.

As I drink my coffee I start to think. Do I even mean anything to Harry? Does he even love me like he says he does. If he does love me why doesn't he ask me out? Or am I just entertainment for him? What if I blew up my relationship with Austin to come for Harry who doesn't even feel something for me.

I take a sip of my coffee and bend my head down. I sit for 10 more minutes and then stand and walk to my car.

My phone vibrates and I see Harry's name. I ignore his call and keep driving. As I am driving I receive a text from Harry saying *We need to talk*.

As I am about to set my phone down and look back on the road by a second of a blink I turn the steering wheel fast. I hear a car beeping their horn, and a bright truck light blinds me. I am in the 2nd line and my car crashes with a light pole.

Harry's POV

She won't answer my calls or my texts I have texted her about 100 times. Where could she be? I grab my keys and jump into my car. I drive up to her house, but I don't find her car there. The lights of her house are on, and so is her mum's car.

As I take my phone out to text her again, I see her mum running out to her car. She gets in and quickly drives off. I follow her behind.

She drives fast, like shes in a hurry. Why is she taking an exit to Santa Monica?

I follow her into the hospital. She parks her car and I park a few parking lot spaces away. I get off and follow her inside. She goes to the front table and asks for Ariana Brooks.

My heart drops when I hear Ariana's name being mentioned at the hospital.

"What is Ariana doing here?" I say to myself.
