Giving Up

Chapter 3: I Am Sorry

At the moment we walked out the house, I happened to see a red ferrari like never before. 

"Holy molly! Is that your car?" I asked widening my eyes.

"What? Don't you like it?" She replied laughing.

"It's amazing you girl! How did you get it, I mean how could you afford such a car?"

"Get in and shut up, you don't need to know all of the details."

"At least you're dating some old man?" I sarcastically demanded. She ignored me. Which something she always does when I'm being sarcastic.

"So do you want to go to the new Disney mall which is  around 30 minutes away from here?" 

"Yeah.. seems like a good idea. Let's give it a shot."

Emily broke the speed limit in her red Ferrari, a car that I still don't know how she got. The 30 minutes drive to Disney's mall took us only 10 minutes. I was too afraid to make any sudden movements as she drove the street like a madwoman.

"Do you want us to end up dead?" I finally asked.

"Of course not you idiot! I want you to have some fun instead of sitting there like you're having cramps."

" With your crazy driving I don't think we would make it over in one piece. Let me put on my seat belt, at least."

"You don't need to. We arrived! Now get your ass out of my car."

" I would like to but I can't feel my legs right now."

"I can't believe how irritating you tend to be at times." She rolled her eyes as we made our way towards the door.

"Look Emily, I'm sorry for yelling at you earlier. It's just that I really need to talk to him. I do not want to give up on him as his parents, you know? It's been a couple of days ..."

"Shuu... I understand." She interrupted squeezing my shoulders.

"Thank you."

"Come on let's grab a coffee." We ordered two chocolate beverages and some caramel waffles and headed to a table in a corner. 

"Don't forget that we have to go to Queen's birthday party tomorrow evening."

"I completely forgot. Then we should buy her a present."

 "Do you have something in mind?" She asked trying to think of something. "Troy? I'm talking to you. Hello?" 

She snapped her fingers, but I was still not responding. I kept looking at the same direction not knowing what to say. "What are you looking at?" She turned around to see Harry.

I gulped. "Sorry what?  Do you think he saw us? Is he going to pretend not to see us? Please let's get out of here." I begged her as I was trying to hide myself between random people.

"Are you serious? We got here first!"

"Em, he noticed you, do you think that he is coming this way?" 

"Well he is, as long as he doesn't see you." She mentioned. "Here he comes." She informed me.

"What's up Emily! I'm sorry I'm late." 

I shot her a look so she can tell me what was going on.

 "I didn't expect him to show up." He added rolling his eyes. 

"What's gotten into you? I don't know why you decided to stop talking to me so suddenly. I might have been busy lately but this doesn't mean that you have the right to ditch me off. Or is the fact that I'm chatting with Jason at school bothering you?" He checked his watch as if I was given a minute to justify myself which made me want to collide my fists to his jaw.

"Listen, I might have messed up. But here I am apologizing and being the bigger person." Ruefulness was obvious in my tone.

A moment of slince interrupted the three of us.

He looked at me and broke the silence "No matter what you say, I still refuse to listen to you " and walked away.

 While I stood there frozen not thinking of way to respond. I was taken a back. As much of an asshole that Harry could be sometimes I have never seen him act like this before ; out of his mind.
