Always & Forever
16.
Harry's POV:
"Harry where the hell have you been?" My dad asks me as I step in the house since I left.
"I had to get out of here for a while."
"Mate you had better sit down." He says all serious with Jo sitting next to him with the same expression on her face.
I put my bag down slowly, as I delay my time purposely.
"Everything ok?" I act casual.
"I don't really know how to tell you this?" He says and Jo takes my hand.
Ok the last time they told me something serious was when mum and dad told me they were divorcing which really didn't come to a shock. Speaking of my mum I hope she hasn't caused any more trouble since I've been gone.
"Your, your mum was shot. She was murdered Harry."
My body and mind remains frozen. It's like I am having an out of body experience.
"Ok." Is the only word that escape my mouth.
"Harry I am so sorry." My dad says. "Ah it's ok."
"I might go for a walk." I stand up slowly.
"Did you want some company?" Jo asks me, "um no I'm ok on my own thanks."
I walk along the beach alone and empty. No feelings, no emotions what so ever. I honestly think this day would come around so soon .
But then my mind wonders back to that night, when I left and what I did is something that causes guilt to rush through my entire body.
It is now getting dark and I haven't stopped walking, but now I am heading where I first should have gone. I wasn't thinking straight that night at all, my mind was all over the place.
The front door is wide open, which is a tendency in this house. The Tv is on and she is flicking through the channels.
I lightly knock on the door, but she can't here me. So I let myself in.
"Any room on that couch for me?" She stands up and I go in for a hug but she punches me on the arm - hard.
"OWW What was that for?" I rub my sore spot.
"You had me going crazy.!" Olivia now jumps in for a hug. "Are you ok?" She asks me as she gets out of our long awaited embrace.
"Yea i'm fine now" I take her hand. I pull her to the couch and she sits on my lap while her hand works through my hair. "I heard about your mum, I'm so sorry Harry." She caresses my cheek.
"Yea it is what it is." I hug her tight.
"So where did you go?"
"Harry."
"Huh sorry what?"
"I asked where did you go?" She asks again.
"Oh umm doesn't matter."
"Come on H" She pleas.
"Oh just some randoms" I answer back.
"Where they old?" She keeps this conversation going.
"Umm yea I guess." I hesitantly reply.
"I'm gonna grab a drink, do you want one?"
I just simply shake my head.
She leaves the couch and I then hear my phone go off. I get it from my pocket and see the name but chose to ignore it.
"Harry where the hell have you been?" My dad asks me as I step in the house since I left.
