Harry POV
The ambulance stopped in front of the A&E and I got out of the ambulance following the paramedics taking Devin inside.
He looks pale and he had a couple of seizures. The paramedics managed to get him comfortable and sable until we got to the hospital.
Once inside they rushed Devin into the observation area and I went in with him. My head is spinning and it feels like I can’t keep my head above water.
The doctors arrive immediately and they ask me to leave so they can take care of Devin. I nod my head and I go out.
I sit on those uncomfortable chairs and bend over resting my elbows on my knees while I take a deep breath. My hands pass through my hair.
I put my
Alice POVHarry’s phone has been ringing for hours and I don’t want to answer it. I put it in silence at the dining room table. I will have to give him his phone eventually. I don’t know what to think. Karen made me believe he was a bad guy and that she regretted loving him. But then. He looked so sincere when he was talking to me. And his arms around me made me feel so safe. I walk to the table and I see that Karen is calling him. Why would she be calling Harry? She was supposed to hate him. What is going on?I pick up the phone and I answer it“Hello” - I say with a lower riskier voiceI know I’m not t
Harry POVI need to go home and change. I have been in these clothes for almost a day and I need a shower. Devin is still not talking to me. He believes that I am doing this to get rid of him. Why would I do that? I worry about him so much. He is my best mate and I can’t even imagine what I would’ve done without him all these years. He was there for me when I needed him. Even being high as a kite he was there. He helped me lift my head again and move on. He was the one cheering me up when I was crying and depressed. I had been through a double betrayal and he was there for me. I could never do anything to harm him. I walk into the room and he is watching tv.“I’m going home and change and then I’m going to try and find Alice” - I say
Three years later Alice POV“Close your eyes” - Dave says and I do as he tells me. He places both his hands softly on top of my eyes and I put my hands on top of his. “What is going on?” - I ask him.“You will see in a minute” - he tells meWe walk and I feel a breast of fresh air hit my face. I feel a chill down my spine. We stop waking after a little bit and he takes his hands off of my eyes but I keep my eyes closed as he instructed me earlier.“Are you ready?” - Dave asks and I nod my head. I’m with a massive smile on my face. I don’t know exactly what
Harry POV“Nice to meet you” - I reply shaking her hand. I feel a jolt of electricity down my body. How is it possible that after all this time she still has this effect on me?“Excuse me” - Alice says and walks out of the room.“How do you know her?” - I ask as Rita comes back to the bed.“We went to the same university. She was friends with a couple of my friends” - Rita says and I nod my head“Why?” - she asks and I shake my head - “just curiosity, you’ve never talked about her” - I let out“We weren’t really friends. She was friends with my friends” - she says before she gets hit by an
Alice POVOnce I see the baby in Rita’s arms and Harry kissing her and looking at the baby with adoration I felt as if I could die. He’s got the life I’ve dreamed for me. He’s got the lovely wife and the baby. And me? Yes, I have love and a wonderful marriage but...I thought I had forgotten about Harry. I thought I was over him. But who am I kidding? Harry is the love of my life and although I do love Dave he will never be Harry. Once I finish with Rita I leave the room asking for another midwife to cover for me. I feel as if my heart was breaking again reminding me why I left in the first place. Harry never came looking for me. He never cared. Why would he? He was in a relationship with Karen. I was just means to an end. Karen was right about him all along and I was a
Harry POVIt’s been one year since Henry was born and I couldn’t be happier. He is giggling and going all the time. Rita decided to stop working to be with him at home. I agreed with her decision. We never needed her to work as money was never a problem for either of us. Devin is the Henry’s godfather. And he keeps drooling all over the kid constantly. Today he is babysitting Henry so that I can take Rita out on a date on the night before Henry’s first birthday. She deserves to be treated like a Queen. After all, she gave me my biggest treasure. “Are you ready?” - I asked walking into her dressing room. Rita is sitting at her vanity table finishing her make up. She
Alice POVDinner was completely terrible. It was awkward. Rita kept looking at me and Harry as if she knew something happened. I feel terrible. We are in the taxi going to my house when Pat breaks the silence.“So that’s your Harry” - she says“He’s not mine” - I say looking out of the window.“Even a blind person would be able to see your chemistry “ - Pat says and I look at her“What do you mean?” - I ask “He still loves you, and you love him, I don’t know who you’re trying to fool” - Pat says“He betrayed me
Harry POVI am kneeling in front of Alice. Ready to ask forgiveness for whatever I did that hurt her so much that made her disappear and believe in Karen instead of me. That bitch never admitted anything about what she did to me and Alice but I know she’s done something.I patt myself in the back for a job well done getting rid of her. Devin definitely has a brilliant mind. I focus on the task ahead. Get Alice to forgive me. I don’t know what I expect from this conversation. I just want her back in my life. However, she wants it. I just want her back. I love her too much to stay away. I’m not letting her disappear again. No way in hell. “Karen told me a lot of things about you” - Alice says and I hold her hands on mine.
