The One

Chapter 43

April

Its April, wow i've been here almost 3 months now and I have been feeling more comfortable. Better than being in the same place as Harry.

I wake up way early not being able to sleep. I turned to one side then to the other and can't seem to keep sleeping. I just slept about 3 hours and now can't go back to sleep. Its 4 am and the city is already busy.

I stand up, pull my hair together tying it with an elastic. I put on my jacket over my shirt and my take off my pajamas, and put on jeans, then I slide my running shoes on. I grab my phone and key and walk out of the apartment. I walk down the street to Central Park and walk more in. Its still dark out, I decide to take a seat on a bench.

As the time passes by I look around and see everything Kendall said, a man running down the street to call a cab. A woman running in the park with her folders in hand, probably going to her job. To my right someone sitting down just like me but they're with their headphones on and looking at the sky. Behind me a couple walking together holding hands they look happy, the guy stops and buys her some roses. Everyone's day is different some days they are good and some days are bad, but they move on.

Not everyone has a perfect day everyday. Not everyone wakes up knowing what will happen to them during the day. I think I understand now, that my problem is not the end of the world, I shouldn't sit there in bed crying over a guy who hurt me, and letting him win by that. By doing that I show weakness and I need to show that I am strong and what Harry did to me can't bring me down, and that I still have the power to smile and actually feel happy.

Kendall is right, I need to move on and stop thinking about Harry. I been hanging out a lot with Jake lately and I am happy I have a guy friend who understands me. He knows that I went through a bad breakup and he consoled me, and I am grateful for that. I need to stop being weak and get back to the top, to being strong. I just don't know if I can think of love the same way I used to, after being heartbroken twice.

But I am ready, i'm ready to move on. From now on Harry is in the past, I am finally in peace here and here I can be someone else. Someone who is strong and won't let herself fall back down again.

I stand from the bench and walk back to the apartment, picking up a coffee on the way, I need to get ready for school. Its Friday so today should go by fast, I hope so. Perri hands me my drink and I thank her. She seems nice and I love her hair, that girl can work it.

When I enter the apartment Kendall rushes to the door. "Where were you?" she asks concern in her eyes.

"At the park why?"

"Why? I thought you had snapped and had done something."

"No ... I couldn't sleep anymore and just decided to go for some fresh air."

"Gosh, you had me worried. I even called you, why didn't you answer?"

I reach my pocket and take out my phone, turning it on and checking my calls. 5 missed calls. "Oh sorry I had it on silence. But i'm fine, I finally am going to leave the past behind and move on, I am waisting my life away by being stuck in a problem that has to he forgotten."

"That's great to hear. I am glad you considered it and thought it through and that you're willing to move on, after something rough. Proud of you Ariana," Kendall says then opens her arms to hug me.

This is what I need a fresh start at everything. I walk in my room change into my school uniform and catch Kendall out in the parking lot.

Harry's POV

Lori has been nice to me and I shouldn't have been rough on the lady, after all she is going through something that, isn't good. Plus both her daughters are not speaking to her. Shit I wish I had parents that cared about me and for my future, my mum only calls once in a while since she came to sign papers so I could be realized from juvy and my dad, I don't even know who he is.
