Harvey was the first one to hit Caleb right across his jaw. Caleb didn't wait a second before he hit back.
Soon, they were just throwing punches at each other. They were on the floor still fighting.
I could see Harvey holding himself back as Caleb hit him. But I don't care why he's doing that right now.
"Oh my god! Stop." I paused, knowing they would never listen like this.
"Or you know what? Go ahead... go ahead and kill each other. I hope you get the satisfaction that you desperately need."
Both of them look at me from the ground and finally get away from each other. They stand up dusting themselves.
I can see Harvey's lip and cheek busted. It was bleeding and I'm pretty sure it hurt. He also had bruises starting to form. Caleb wasn't bleeding a lot, just some bruises.
"You done?" I asked with fake shock. They didn't respond, their eyes glued to the carpet.
"Are you guys happy now? Huh Caleb? You happy? You hurt Harvey enough with your fists and your words or is there something left to do?" I asked and Caleb looked guilty.
"It's okay as long as you feel better." Harvey says and waves his hand.
"Why would...I do feel much better. Thanks!" Caleb admits and Harvey smiles and they do the bro-hug thing.
"It's nothing. I'm gonna go now. I have something to do." Harvey says. I could see he was hurt by Caleb's words earlier and was trying his hardest not to show it.
"No! Harvey, I'm sorry about all the stupid shit I said." Caleb apologises.
"It was true. I know, I shouldn't have dragged you in my mess in the first place." Harvey says.
"No, that's okay. You should've told us the truth a little bit earlier but apart from that, you did nothing wrong. All that shit about lists and the kiss, it's not true." Caleb says.
"Besides, anyone would've done the same if they were you." Caleb adds.
"Now you're just making shit up. I know I'm selfish to do all that I did." Harvey says.
They continue talking. Good thing that everything is sorted out between them now. It means I can leave.
I start to gather my stuff and stand up to leave.
"Where do you think you're going?" Caleb asks.
"Home!?" I answer.
"You told me your mom was gone on a business trip." Harvey says.
Oh yeah, I told him about that on the night we went to the club. Shit, that was yesterday. It feels like it was weeks ago.
"Yeah and..." I say expecting him to continue.
"You'll be home alone." He states in a 'duh' tone like it's a very valid point. Well maybe it would be but not for me.
"Harvey, my mom is always on business trips. I'm alone most of the time and I'm not scared of the dark, I think I'll be just fine." I tell them.
