A Lost Object [h.s]

Chapter 7

Aurora

The drive back to the house was worse than the drive to the store. Harry seemed to be in a bad mood. Not that I have ever seen him in a good. But his mood seemed to be worse than before. I was scared that he was going to get violent at how angry he was. My phone buzzed in my pocket. I took the phone out opening the message Odyssey, who was sitting right in the back seat, had sent me.

Odyssey: Ask him what's wrong.

I looked back at Odyssey giving her a confused look. Why would I ask him what is wrong? That was none of my business and frankly I did not want to deal with his attitude. In this short period of time I learned that Harry obviously does not like questions. They seem to make him even angrier.

Aurora: No.. Why?

Odyssey: Idk. I just wanna know why he's mad. Ask your fiance why he's mad Aurora.

Aurora: I don't think that's a good idea.

Odyssey: Fine, I'll do it.

"No!" I shouted suddenly. Harry swerved the car in shock, almost hitting a tree. He managed to get control of the wheel at some point.

"What the hell is wrong with you!" He shouted. I don't know if this was even possible, but he was much angrier then before. There was a vain in his neck that looked like it would pop if he continued to be angry. I honestly did not mean to scream. It's just a habit I have I guess. When I'm texting I say what I want to type, out loud. That only happens once in a while though. Odyssey was too busy laughing in the back seat.

"Sorry," I mumbled. I shrunk in my seat feeling small under Harry's hard glare. I was afraid that he would actually crash us this time because his eyes were no longer fixated on the road but on me.

"Sorry? You almost made me crash my car!"

I honestly couldn't speak at that moment. My throat was dry, my whole body was shaking and my heartbeat was pacing too quickly. I could hear my own heartbeat at how loud it was thumping. I needed to get out of this car. I needed to get as far away from Harry as possible.

Harry shook his head. He turned his attention back to the road. "Idiots" He murmured under his breath. I let out a quiet sigh. I turned to look at the window. We were finally home. Harry pulled into the curb. I got out of the car as quickly as I possibly could, grabbing my bags with me. Once Odyssey got out the car he sped off.

"He is so damn rude. I don't know how many times I've said that, but that boy needs to take an anger management class" Odyssey said. I nodded in agreement. He needed more than anger management classes. That wasn't going to help him. I couldn't judge him though. I have no idea why he's so angry all the time. Maybe because he's being forced to marry me. That definitely has something to do with it. I didn't like the idea either. It angered and bothered me to the max. If he didn't want this then he should've fought. Considering, I don't know what his parents are like so I couldn't really speak on that. They could've been as crazy and delusional as mine, not that that was possible. There couldn't possibly be any other people in this world more crazy and delusional than my parents. If so I wish the persons who have to deal with them luck.

"I'm going to head back to my dorm room."

"You can stay for dinner Odyssey," I told her.

"No that's fine really. I'm going to eat some ramen." She smiled. Odyssey was always smiling. There has never been a day where I have seen her upset or angry. That's what I loved about her. She brings positivity into my negative life. I know the reason she didn't want to come inside was because of my parents. They didn't like her. No, they hated her. Hate is a very strong word and that is what they use to describe their feelings towards her. There was absolutely no reasoning behind why the hell they hated her so much. Maybe because Odyssey always pushed me to do what I wanted and not what my parents forced me to do. They almost had her arrested last year for stupid reasons I can't even seem to remember. My parents are something else honestly. They are a whole other level of crazy. 

"Please stay for dinner, you can't live off of ramen noddles Odyssey." I didn't give her the chance to respond. I was already pulling her inside the house. My mother was waiting at the door when we got inside. She had her hands wrapped around a steaming cup. She looked at Odyssey with a disgusted look before her gaze fell on me.

"How was shopping?"

I slipped off my shoes putting them on the rack. "It was fine."

"Where is Harry? I told him to stay for dinner." This woman just doesn't know when to stop.

"He left mother. And I don't like that you're making plans for me with him without consulting with me about it. Why did you have me buy dresses and shoes? What's happening tomorrow?" Odyssey followed behind me as I followed my mother into the kitchen. The small table in the kitchen was set with three plates. A big bowl of spaghetti in the middle. Next to it was a bowl of chicken wings. There were also other bowls on the table. Potato salad, lettuce, scrambled eggs, and two big jars. One with water, the other with orange juice.

"Nothing is happening, I just wanted you to spend some time with Harry is all" I bit my tongue back to stop myself from yelling at her. What the hell is wrong with her? I had way more important stuff to do, instead my afternoon had to be spent getting yelled at by a dude with anger issues . Odyssey went around to the counter. She opened the cabinet, grabbing a plate from it before closing it and sitting down. I sat down next to her, my mother sitting across from me.

"Come straight home after your classes tomorrow. Harry will be here to take you out to dinner."
