An Alternate Universe

Harry

I had everything I could wish for. Dream job? Check.
Big house? Check.
Fat bank account? Check.
Supportive family? Girls at my feet? Check. And, CHECK.
The only thing was, even if I had everything I wanted, I couldn't have her. Lily Ela Swine Castellano was the bane of my existence. She was the muse at the back of my life. Hanging by a fine thread between giving up and fighting for her, I had to keep the promise alive that was made some years ago, which we both hated but couldn't break it off. Stuck between wanting and leaving her, I had no way out. But one thing was sure: If I can't have her, then no one can.

Studying as a Pre-med student was okay.
My life was okay.
I was okay.
Everything was okay until Harry Hilton came flooding back into my life. He was the person your parents would remind you to stay away from. He's the disappointment in my already-planned life. With his perfectly combed jet-black hair and eyes filled with unwanted trouble, I couldn't do much more than endure him. But that isn't how I feel when I have him around me. Rather, this fleeting connection of years makes me want to know him more and show him the pearl of a heart he has, which is perfectly hidden inside an oyster of his body. I shouldn't have him, but my heart can.
