You Couldn't Understand

Hold up... She's not making any sense. Why would she say she didn't know who else to go to? If her intention was to apologize... Aren't we kinda the only options? This bitch is putting on a show, and not a very good one.

"Al, why are you here?" Harry seems as confused as I am.

"I just... After you all left school... Everyone was ignoring me, even Molly and Jake! I can't not be in charge, Harry. I can't!" She's becoming a little more composed, but it's going from weeping to her usual controlling self. Personally, I prefer the weeping.

"Of course you aren't apologizing because you actually feel guilty... You know what? Just leave, Alexis."

"But, Harry!" she yells before he closes the door in her face.

I turn to look at him, "I genuinely hate her."

"At least you don't have to look at her and know you were with her for two years," he replies with a scowl, "Can we just... Pretend that never happened?"

"Sure."

We go back down to our movie. But just as we're getting comfortable, the doorbell rings again and this time it is the food. As Harry goes to get it, I take the opportunity to call Nathan.

"James, where the hell have you been? Ash and I have called and texted and I tried to find you at school but your car was gone and-"

"I'm okay, Nathan. Alive and well." I'm glad my friends care so much, and I actually feel pretty guilty about not calling them sooner.

I hear conversation on the other end and something that sounds like "Nate I swear to... If you don't give it... I will fry them. Fry." Sounds like Ash really wants to talk to me.

She gets her way apparently.

"Jamie Anne Deyes, if you ever, and I do mean ever, scare me like that again I will kill you. How was I supposed to know you hadn't gone and killed yourself?! Dammit, we're here for you every fucking day. Every. Day. And you can't bother to let me know that you're okay? After what I did today? I was so scared. You think it's easy for me to yell at someone with an audience like that. But I care about you. So fuck you for not calling us back sooner."

"I love you too, Ash."

"Bitch. Here-" I hear her say to Nate.

His voice comes over the line, "Jamie? Are you alone? We're just sitting in my room, we can totally come over."

"Actually... No, I'm not alone. Harry's here," I say just as he walks back in the rooms, "And so is my dinner. I'll call you guys later. Love you."

"We love you too," Nathan says.

"Go to hell, inconsiderate bitch," I hear Ashton say at the exact same time.

I hang up he phone and throw it onto the opposite love seat before grabbing a plate of food and digging in.

"It must be nice," Harry says quietly after a few minutes.

"What?"

"To have people who care about you like that."

"Well, yeah," I start, "We've been best friends basically since birth... So I guess we just look out for each other."

"They hate me. For causing you such trouble," he states.

"No... They just don't think we'd work. And I agree. This is a one time thing."

"I'll change your mind if it's the last thing I do."

Then he grabs me and kisses me again.
