I Can't Help It
Chapter 47.
" Fire me."
I cringed as the words left his mouth.
" Very well. As of the ending school day, you will no longer be a teacher at CHS."
Harry rested his elbows on his knees, Burying his face in his hands.
" As for you Ms. Summers, you are lucky you are a senior and only have three months left, because I am supposed to expell you."
I nodded.
" You two may leave."
Me and Harry slowly stood up and left, shocked over what just happened.
" Say something." I whispered as we walked down the empty hall.
he threw his hands in the air.
" What do I say?"
" Harry, you can't be mad at me for all this. You're just as much to blame as I am. And don't be mad because you got fired either. I was going to give him my acceptance."
We walked into his classroom.
" I know, and I'm sorry that you had to go through that, but I knew this wouldn't work out."
I took a few steps back in awe, wondering who this man infront of me was.
" Are you kidding me?! It was your idea Harry! You're the one who kept running into me saying it was 'fate', you're the one who sat with me in Kelly's, you're the one who kissed me, you're the one who brought me to meet your family, and you're the one Bought me a promise ring. That's only half the list. Yeah, I'm sure you thought we couldn't work out."
I scurried to the door as he stood there still.
" Wait, Maria!" He called after me. I turned around one last time.
" And what the hell was, ' Even if were the last two people on Earth I wouldn't get involved with her.'? I understand we were acting like we weren't dating but that was unneeded information. I thought you loved me. But lately, I'm starting to rethink that. "
" Maria, I love you so much more than you think."
" I love you too Harry, but you obviously don't want to work this out. "
Right then, the bell rung, signaling school to be over, and I left his room before he could stop me. I opened my locker saving my tears.
" Hey Maria." Sandy came up. She looked at me. " What's wrong?"
I didnt answer her. I just shut my locker and left the building.

It was 8:00 at night. I came home to no one. My mom was going to be gone for a while because she's on some business trip, learning about this new treatment and how to use it blah blah blah smart people stuff.
I laid in my bed staring at the ceiling. I didn't know what to do with myself. I already painted my nails six times tonight, chipping each coat off.
There was a knock on the door. I ignored it. They knocked again.
" I'm coming, hold your damn horses!" I yelled. They wouldn't stop! I opened the door to a Beautiful Harry. Typical.
" What?" I asked. He said nothing. He just took one step, and carressed my cheek before pressing a kiss to my lips. It was passionate.
I pulled away.
" Harry you should leave." I stepped back.
" No. I'm not going anywhere."
" I've gotten you into enough trouble."
" It's nothing I can't handle. Remember when I said I'd do anything for you? Well I mean it. I couldn't let you just throw Manchester away. And I can find other jobs besides teaching. Maria I love you and I'll do anything for you." He pulled me close by my waist and I returned the favor by wrapping my arms around his neck.
It felt so right. It was only a couple hours since I've seen him but it felt like an eternity.
" I love you." I weeped into his chest.
" I Love you." He pet my hair. I pulled away.
" Stay the night Harry. My mom is gone. Please."
" Of course." He said, kicking the door shut. He entertwined our fingers as we ran upstairs to my room.
I cringed as the words left his mouth.
" Very well. As of the ending school day, you will no longer be a teacher at CHS."
