I stepped my foot into Shawn's house but my mind still struggles in making a decision. I shouldn't be here. I know but does it matter anymore? It still feels like a dream. I never thought for once I'd face this later in the future. We were so perfect.
"Feel at home. If you need anything please let me know." Shawn assures me.
"A glass of water will be okay," I say, still not feeling welcomed in here. He opens the fridge and pours it into a glass.
"So....what of Chloe? Is she here?"
I ask while taking a sip from the glass. I was still a little uncomfortable."No, She took a flight back to France. She had some work to do."
"Oh...I see.." I felt a little relieved. I just didn't want
I decided to give Harry a second chance after thinking deeply about it during the night. I just want to hear what he has to say and know the way forward. Regardless of him hurting me, I still feel left alone and empty without his presence. I need him. The more I think about it, the incident I mean, everything about that night just felt weird. Why would Harry even intend on hurting me? We know and love each other so much. I just don't understand the whole picture. Something doesn't feel, right? Could it be Ryn was only forcing herself on him? He looked intoxicated. NO, I'm just saying all this because my heart still yearns for him. He broke my trust.I pack my hair into a bun after staring deeply into the mirror, full of thoughts. I applied less make-up. I just didn't want it to look obvious I cried all through the night. I was wearing a black strapless dress which was for Chloe. She didn
I got down from the taxi, entering Harry's mansion. The security guard was happy to see me. I knew he had a lot of questions to ask because of my absence. So did I too."Is he...." I had to be sure if he was home but I got interrupted by the security guard."He's not doing well, ma'am."That word alone made me feel I did the wrong thing by leaving him. I took on my heels as fast as I could. I would never forgive myself if anything happens to him. NEVER.I opened the door, searching for Harry and I sighted him right there on the couch, Ryn hovering over him. I'm so stupid. I turned my back against them, wishing this was all a dream. This can't be happening."Get off me." I hear him gr
Driven a little out of my unconscious state in the hospital, I could hear voices; angry, sad, regretful. I couldn't understand what was going on. It only made me have a bad headache but my mom's voice was the loudest. I couldn't forget that voice."This is all because of him!" My mom's said in an angry tone."I should have known that was why she was avoiding my calls! She just couldn't face me, Malcolm. She's fighting for life right now and it's all his fault. I should have never agreed to this union." Malcolm comforts her. Harry on the other hand, just sat there. Didn't move, couldn't say a word. He was hurt no one believed him or would even stand to hear him out. He was the bad guy here.Shawn stood against the wall, watching the whole scenario. It was fun for him. It was all going according to plan except the part where he never thought Elena would ever think of taking her own life. It hurt him deep to think of how much She had been affected by him. She still
Harry's povI shut myself in my room for days, getting drunk and sinking into depression. I feel so lost without her. Her presence in here was gone, her smile, her touch, especially the way she made me feel but now there's nothing to hold onto. I called Sharon, maybe she could try to convince her again but she tried all she could but it yielded nothing. I shut myself out from the media, my job, everything that made me get attention. I just wanted to be alone. Carol, my former assistant if you remember got fired by my ex-wife. I can't still believe that came out from me. It all feels like a mirage. Anyways, she came most of the time, helping me out from my depression since I almost fired all my workers. I was different now. I can't even remember when last I shaved. I was a complete mess. There came a time, two weeks after being divorced. I just couldn't accept the fact that she was now spending more time with Shawn. He looked so happy seeing me mad. I took her out of his house

Elena's povI woke up late on a Saturday morning. I guess I was so tired than I thought. I look to my left seeing the note Shawn left. He went out. I guess he probably went to check some work at the office. I got out of bed, taking a warm bath, trying to let out the stress. I was reminded about how Harry would come into the shower without my conscience and grip me from behind. I couldn't stop thinking about all our adventures. I missed all of that but I have to start thinking differently. It's over between us now. I dressed up, thinking about how to while away time. The kitchen store was empty so I thought I should just get some items at the grocery store. I took my keys and got out of the house. Not so long after getting out of the store, was when I saw Harry where I parked my car. He was at a coffee shop wi
I removed my hands away from his before he knew my identity. I rushed out of the shop, Harry following me. "Wait! Have we met before?" He grabs my hands but I withdrew them and rushed into my car. I heaved a sigh, finally relieved that I escaped that drama. That was way too close. Harry must have lost his breath running after me. ************ Shawn's pov After staying over at Chloe's place for some time, I made a hot coffee for her seeing she was about to wake up. She sat up, relaxed her back against the pillow, sipping from her coffee. "Thanks." She said, feeling ashamed of our last incident. "It's alright," I replied.
I was utterly shocked and unaware that Harry's name was imprinted on the napkin. I never noticed it. Shawn began to have doubts, thinking I went to see him, probably met up with him someone. I forgot Shawn was a jealous type when it comes to things like this but it isn't like we are dating or so but I know he's just acting this way for my safety."Shawn, I had that napkin in my bag for a long time. I used it to wrap my finger earlier. Nothing more." I assured him but still, he looks at it with disgust. I can't still believe our past will make both friends hate each other so much. I still blame myself for that."Well, I hate this napkin. It's so ugly." He threw it into the waste bin without even asking for my consent. I felt so angry within me but I just couldn't show it. He would think I'm still having feelings for him.
