THE JOCK
CHAPTER 19: It will rain
Julie’s P.O.V
I walked back in the house with dad. “Where’s Harry?”
“Oh, sweet heart you guys are too young. You guys should wait it out”
She lifted a spoon of soup up to her mouth. “Okay, well where is Harry then?” “Oh, I sent him home” I could see that she didn’t care, like she think that we were making a bad decision and I would get over Harry better if she sent him home. No, that would never happen.
“Mom! What did you do?”
“Sweet heart I specifically said that if he loved you, he should let you grow up childless until you find the right guy”
“What the hell mom!”
“Whoa watch your language she’s still your mother” dad said
“Why would you do that? He is the right guy for me! Do you ever want to see me happy?”
“Honey I always want to see you happy….just not with him” she put her coffee down and continued to read the newspaper.
“I can’t believe you right now” I stood there not knowing what to do, I paced back and forth. Should I chase after Harry? Should I let him go? Is mom right? No, no she’s not right I’m chasing after him and she can’t stop me.
“Mom, I’m leaving! And you better hope I come back”
“Oh, no you’re not. You’re not going out in this weather; it’s a storm outside” she got up from her seat now, ready to protest against whatever I say back. “I love him” the rim of my eyes started to burn with tears. “And If you can’t deal with it, then I can’t…..live…with you. Anymore.” I quickly grabbed my jacket off the coat hanger.
Slipped it on. And ran outside, I ditched the car----I was still scared of driving after the incident. I ran down the street, stopping at the corner I checked left and right seeing if I can still catch him. But I didn’t see anything; I reached into my pocket for my phone.
I dialed his phone “What’s up…sorry I can’t get to the phone right now, just leave the message after the beep” *Beep* “Harry come back, I’m looking or you. My mom don’t know what she was talking about let’s just leave. Let’s runaway. Just call me back.” I hung up the phone and slipped it in my pocket I decided to turn right and head down to his place.
Seem like I was running for seconds, then minutes then hours. Right when I was going to stop, I tripped over the uneven concrete walkway on to my knees. The wet floor of water seeped through my thin jeans, the coldness from the water was sending chills through my body. I got up from the floor holding my own and kept running.
I turned the corner I finally reached his house; I tried to wipe my mascara off my face. It probably looked like a black river running down my face. Then I finally rung the door bell, I heard footsteps and movement then the door opened. “Ello, oh hey Julie. What wrong dear?” I guess they could see the anticipation in my face of needing and wanting to find Harry.
“Um, have you seen Harry?”
“No” she looked back at her husband for confirmation “No, the last time we saw him he said he was going over to your house. For homework I believe?”
“Oh, just wanted to know. I guess he haven’t got there yet” I didn’t want to worry his parents so I came up with a white lie. “Um, bye thanks” “Oh, bye dear” I turned around and walked away. Where in hell was he?

Harry’s P.O.V
I took a turn and was halfway to the school, I didn’t have my car. Julie drove me to and from her house normally. I looked both ways before crossing, and then jogged across the street.
How could her mom say something like that? It just kept repeating in my head. If you love her, let her go. If you love her, let her go. If you love her, let her go.
I love Julie and maybe this is what was best for her, she didn’t want to spend her life with a pain killer junkie, an ex- girlfriend killer and a guy that will never be good enough for her.
I turned off of the main road, starting my way down to the school gymnasium.
I stared down at the floor walking the whole time. I listened to how the rain fell than bounced off the ground, creating pops of them. I felt the rain fall on my hood, slide off and land to the ground. I hate rain, it makes life more miserable then it already is. I walked down the path to the gymnasium; I checked my phone for the time and saw a voicemail in the corner. Hopefully it was from my college. I slid over the tented cover and played it.
No, it wasn’t from my college it was from Julie. As badly as I was in love with Julie I just needed time to myself. I clicked delete and put my phone back in my pocket. I walked into the gym; it was empty and soundless just what I needed.
I grabbed a basketball and started making shots, throwing them up. Making shots left and right. I sat down to take a break; I grabbed my phone out and played Bruno Mars it will rain. I don’t know it felt like it fit my situation.
“IF you ever leave me baby. Leave some
Morphine at my door. Cuz it waould take a whole
Of medication. To realize what we use to have
We don’t have it anymore. There’s no religion
That can take me. No matter how long my knees are on the floor
I walked back over to pick up the basketball; I could feel my tears swelling up in my eyes. If you love her, let her go *shot* If you love her, let her go *shot*
“There be no sunlight, if I lose you baby there be no clear
Skies. If lose you baby, just the clouds my eyes will do the
Same, if you walk away everyday it will rain, rain, rain.
My thoughts and concentration was interrupted by the slamming of the door gym. I was in my perfect position as I looked back, it was Julie. I dropped the ball. This was more important. I turned and looked at her; I didn’t know what to say.

Julie’s P.O.V
I walked in, Harry was about to make a shot, till he heard me come in and turned to face me. I decided to do all the talking since it was my mom who did this to him. “I love you” he looked down at the ground.
*background music*
But theirs is just somethings they can’t understand
Oh, well darling watch them change their minds
Oh, I’ll try, I’ll try, I’ll try, I’ll try, to pick up these broken
Pieces till I’m bleeding if that will make it right.
I walked closer to him now. “I loved you ever since I saw you” *another step* “I was smitten by your smile” *another step* I was halfway to him now; he looked up at me for a second then glanced at the bleachers. “You’re going to be an amazing father someday” *another step* “and you’re going to have an amazing wife” *another step* I was just a few steps away from him and I could see the glare in his eyes from him crying.
Another step and I was in front of him, he couldn’t even stand to look at me now.
I whispered the last part……
I walked back in the house with dad. “Where’s Harry?”
“Oh, sweet heart you guys are too young. You guys should wait it out”
She lifted a spoon of soup up to her mouth. “Okay, well where is Harry then?” “Oh, I sent him home” I could see that she didn’t care, like she think that we were making a bad decision and I would get over Harry better if she sent him home. No, that would never happen.
