Not edited!
I wrote this at around 4 am and I was so sleepy so forgive me in advance for any errors
-4 Months later-
The weather that day was not something to brag about, the cold was was blowing pretty hard, the sky was cloudy and grey and it looked like the rain would fall down any given minute and shower over all the eighteen year olds covered in black graduation coats.
Black caps flew in the air and everyone yelled "Hooraay!"
"I wish you all a great life ahead," Mr. George, the principal of Roland High said with a broad grin stretched on his face. All the seniors, well, ex-seniors cheered.
"We are finally real adults," Lillian whispered in Harry's ear as he wrapped his arms around her tiny waist. "Uh huh," he hummed and tucked a strand of her hair behind her pointed ears. The only feature of her that were kind of unattractive to Harry. "What are your plans for tonight ?" Harry asked her and swayed her from right to left, still wrapped up in each other's arms. "Your parents invited me over for a dinner, which by the way, you forgot to tell me about!" She said with a hint of anger in her eyes. "I did not know of this dinner that you're talking about, I haven't been invited to my own family dinner....that's just great!" Harry said and shook his head disappointingly. Lillian finally cracked a smile and chuckled lightly. "You are joking, aren't you ?" Lillian asked and looked up into his eyes which were shining with mischief. "Actually, I wanted to take you out to this fancy Italian restaurant.... So, I avoided telling you about the dinner with my parents." He said with a shrug and Lillian gasped and hit him in his chest playfully.
"That's not right, Harry!" She said, a smile on her face. Harry laughed and hugged her close to him, both of them chuckling quietly, enjoying the warmth of each other.
Only if they knew that a pair of cold blue eyes were on them, filled with tears.
"Hey, Taylor!" A feminine voice startled Taylor and she hurriedly wiped under her eyes and faced her body towards the intruder. "Uh hi, do I know you ?" Taylor asked politely. "Oh, I'm Cory, I was in the drama class, you sat next to my friend Kacy and we talked once," she said with a sweet smile plastered on her pretty lips. I don't remember who Kacy is, Taylor thought but decided to play along. She nodded her head excitedly and smiled widely,
"Ah I remember! You're the girl who-"
"The girl who passed you a tissue when you kept sneezing ? Yea, that's me."
"Yes! That girl, so what are you doing here ? I mean it's graduation day, you should be enjoying with your friends."
"Well, I was wondering if you would like to come to the graduation party that Nicholas-my boyfriend, is having tonight ?"
"Uh Okay I guess."
And with that Taylor looked away and an awkward silence stretched between them. "So.... I'll see you tonight ?" Cory asked with a nervous smile on her face.
Why is this girl nervous ? Shouldn't it be you, Taylor Wilson, who should be a stuttering mess because she's never been friends with anyone but Harry ? Darkness said. After four months of having the voice nag and nag at her Taylor decided that it was time to just name her because it looked like it wasn't going anywhere for the time being and even though her psychiatrist suggested that Taylor shouldn't want anything to do with darkness, Taylor ignored her, darkness was fun, she was bold and smart unlike Taylor who was timid and naive.
"I'll see you tonight!" Taylor said and Cory smiled and walked away with quick a wave of her hand.
Taylor looked again at the direction of Harry and Lillian who were standing side by side looking oh so in love. Look at the way Harry's looking at her, darkness whispered and Taylor's hands formed into tight fists. Harry suddenly looked at her. Harry removed his arm from Lillian's shoulder and walked towards Taylor with large steps. He looked furious.
-Flashback-
"You knew!" Taylor yelled at Harry as he stood in front of her on the porch of his house. "You should calm down and take a deep breath," Harry said. "You-you bloody idiot! You knew and you never once asked me about it or-or never even confronted me, you should have said something, anything but should have just said something!" Taylor said softly, now out of breath. "And told you that I don't like you more than a friend ?" Harry said with a raised eyebrow. Taylor stepped back a little as if his words physically hurt her. "Yes, Yea you should have then maybe I wouldn't be feeling what I feel for you now! Dammit I'm so naive, I mean look at my parents, they were best friends and then they became lovers and I-I thought it was just a made up story but then I, I fell in love with you and I thought we would end up like my parents did, happy but no! Lillian ruined any chance of you falling in love with me!" Taylor said and paced back and forth while Harry stood there with his arms crossed against his chest.
"Taylor, can we please go inside and talk about it ?"
"And then what ? You'd tell me that I should just what ? Move on ? Find someone else ? See other people ?"
"Taylor, we are best friends...."
"But I love you," Taylor whispered, her shoulders slumped and her eyes filled with tears. "And I love you, more than I love anyone, I care about you but not, not like how you want me to," Harry whispered, now cupping Taylor's face with his palms. A year fell from Taylor's left eye and she quickly made a move to wipe it off but Harry was quicker than her and caught the tear with his thumb. "I just ruined our friendship, didn't I ?" Taylor whispered and Harry just stayed quite. Taylor knew what his answer was going to be.
Yes.
Taylor sighed and smiled sadly at Harry and turned around, ready to walk away with her broken heart in her hands.
She walked slowly, taking one step at a time, thinking that maybe just maybe Harry will stop her and confess his love for her. Just like in the movies.
But sadly her life wasn't a movie and she was not the girl he fell in love with.
[]Flashback Ends []
Harry stood just a breadth away from Taylor, his face so close to her, his eyes shining with different emotions, fury and sadness the most prominent ones.
"You're such a bitch!"
