Beautiful Faults - Episode 13

 

June’s POV

Trying to ignore as much as possible Harry’s odd beheviour, which he has never exhibited since I started working here, I moved from where he was to the store where his mom was busy attending to the only available customer around. When I realized that I had nothing to do , I didn’t have any other choice than to return back into the room.

The atmosphere was so weird with Harry just sitting there and ignoring everything that had managed to come out of my mouth. He was awfully quite which is also unlike him, the way he did his own things by himself was kind of, I had to follow him with my eye every time so as to make sure that he won’t fall or maybe get hurt. 

The whole room was as if, electric wires enclosed it, giving me wrong vibes and all, I’ve decided in my head like three times to go over to his mom and let her know about this new exhibited behaviur from Harry but I decided against it because he’s old enough to be angry or quiet or just be this new harry.

“So, how was your trip to the city?” I said trying to break the silence by bringing up a conversation for like the tenth time today and I’m hoping I don’t get ignored as always.

“How was your own day off?” he asked and I swear I could see sarcasm flying around the room.
“It was great, I got to visit a old friend of mine” My mind drifted to the events of the other day as I mentioned the word “friend”. 

Even though I still hate myself and haven’t recovered from all that happened, still its better I keep the pain to myself and smile . That way nobody will feel the burden of carrying it along with me.

“You haven’t answered my question”
“I did, with my silence, which also states that YOU SHOULD MIND YOUR GODDAMM BUSINESS” he screamed the last part so I should get the message and back off but I decided not to.

“What the hell happened, Harry? I didn’t remember doing anything to you” the first thing my mind went to was maybe he find out about the death of my step sister and how I had killed her.

“What happended is you, June

. I don’t get how you’ll always be here everyday to get involved in my business and when you’ve managed to get me to talk, the next thing is get me to do your wish, you make decisions for me all the time without taking into consideration what my own decision is and if I try to fight against your decision, you run to my mom to inform her and y’all end up making me do what you want. You need to leave me alone with my decisions june. You’re not even wanted here anyways” His last statement was a sharp pain to my heart and it hurts, making it clear, nobody here even wants me.

“All I did was to help with things, Harry. I thought I was helping you to make the right decision about things.

. I thought you’ll be able to get your eyes back and get your life back too. All I did was try to have your back, what the hell was wrong with that?” I quickly used my hand to stop the tears because crying will make me weak, I don’t need that weekness today, just not today. I’ve had enough tears for the week.

“I didn’t mean it that way, 
June…….” I didn’t wait for him to finish what he was saying before I interrupted him.

“You know what? It’s fine, its fine if you feel everything I did was for my own selfish reason. I’m sorry for doing all that, I’ll do just exactly what you want. I’ll leave and you don’t need to pay me for this month, its all fine. Have a nice life, Harry”

I went on to the guest room that I’ve been using, to get all the stuffs that I kept there even if its not that much, I placed then into the bag and all through I could hear Harry calling my name probably trying to explain and hurting me more in the process.
“June, its not what you think”

“keep the explanation to yourself Harry, its not needed”
“If you walk out right now, I swear to God that I’ll follow you to anywhere you go to and I don’t care if I get hit by a car or truck, I don’t care but I swear, ill follow you even if its till the end of the world” that stopped me on my track and I turned back to look at him finding his way to get to me. 

My heart crushed at the sight and I couldn’t move from where I stood.
“I’m sorry. Im really sorry. You’re still here right? I can hear you sniffing even if it’s not that loud, im not deaf, I’m only blind” he hit his leg agaist a small chair in the middle of the room and fell. I quickly rushed to his side to help him up nad he held my hand tight not giving me the chance to help him up.

“I’m sorry I didn’t mean to say those words. I get the fact that you invade in my privacy a lot and I’m absolutely right about that. But I shouldn’t have made it sound like you were doing a bad thing, im sorry” Before I could say Jack, his hand had traced my face up to my forehead and he gave it a light peck and there, I ignited like fire. 

My whole inside turned upside down and for a few seconds, I couldn’t think properly.
”Its actually Ava and Ken Anniversary today” I managed to get my senses back together to be able to ask him.
“Who?, who’s ken and Ava” I asked and his whole face was laced with surprise.
