harry's pov:

i'm about to fall asleep when i hear movement at the opposite end of my room.

i reach over to turn my lamp on and see maryah standing at the foot of my bed.

i rub my eyes to make sure i'm not seeing things when she looks over at me.

"maryah?" i croak, my eyes still trying to adjust to the light.

"my time here is done." she sighs, her voice is soft...angelic.

"wait," i sit up and try to crawl towards her. "what are you-"

before i can finish my sentence she grabs my hand and looks down at me.

"i love you."

before i can say it back, she disappears just as fast as she appeared.

"maryah..?" i ask, looking around.

"harry what the hell are you doing up?" mitch walks into my room, squinting his eyes.

"maryah was-" i begin to explain but he stops me.

"maryah?" he stops rubbing his eye to look at me. "who is maryah?"

his question hits me like a ton of bricks.

"she's my soulmate..?" i look at him like he's crazy and he shakes his head.

"harry..." he walks over to my bed, turning my lamp off. "maryah passed away a few years ago."

"what?" i ask, pushing him away from me.

"she got into a bad wreck. madison was driving her home and there was a patch of black ice. she was dead on the scene." he explains and i feel my chest heat up.

"she can't be..." i shake my head. "she was just-"

"i know, i know. try to get some sleep, okay?" he walks out of my room and words appear above my head.

HEARTBREAKS LEFT:
•none.
