Always & Forever
19.
"Hey mate you ok, you seem on edge." Louis asks me as we sit in the courtroom as we await the fate of fire trial. "Yea all good." I say with sweaty palms.
Th accused is sitting in front of us and I see them talking to their lawyer, they seem worried there is not enough evidence for them to be let off. My mind is all fuzzy and i look at my dad, Louis and Jo how they lost everything in that house fire.
It happened a bit after I came to town and I was, well I was not how I am now. I was just a boy looking to fit in with his new found father and his already built up family.
"Please rise." The judge announces. My eyes look to the floor as I can't look up at the accused right now.
We al stand, as I am next to dad I take a glance at him and hope now he won't see me any differently I mean it was a long time ago, I'm not that person anymore. I take a deep breath.
"Wait" I shout out. I blink my eyes as the whole courthouse eyes are on me.
"Yes sir?" The judge puts his glasses down.
"I started the fire. Not him." I look to the accused.
"WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?" Louis grabs me by the collar and backs me into the wall back at home.
"Ok stop that." Jo grabs him off. "We lost everything in that fire, and you kept quiet for months" he yells.
"I know, I know and I'm sorry." I say sincerely
"Harry what the hell?" Dad says to me. "I honestly thought I put it out, it was an accident." I try and convince them even thought it's the truth.
"Look I'll go get my bags." I stand up and go to my room.
Olivia's POV:
I am worried about Harry I know the court was today for his parents house fire. I have texted him and tried calling but nothing.
I am on my lunch break sitting on the pier outside the diner. I look into the distance and see him wait why does he have bags?
I get up and run toward him.
"harry what haven't you answer my calls or texts." i ask him but he doesn't respond.
"Hey" I step in front of him. "Whats with the bags, your not leaving again?" My heart sinks if he was to leave again well I won't be waiting.
"The fire, at dad and Jo's was me. I did it." He drops his bags.
"What do you mean?"
"Look it was an accident, it was way before I met you and I've changed" He says desperately .
"No it's ok." I hug him. "And my mum knew she got rid of the evidence that I was there." He tenses up.
"Hey, hey it's ok". I press my lips against his. "Where are you going to stay now?"
"Harry." We both turn around and see Des. "Look your not in the clear yet. We still have to get you a lawyer."
"dad you don't have to help me." He says, Des glances at me. "I'll give you guys a minute."
"Hey how you go?" I ask Harry who has finished talking with his dad. "Well I have a court hearing in a month. And I will be staying at the caravan park.
"Come on I'll help." I pick up one of his bags.
"This is cosy" I say as I sit in the little space of this caravan

"Eh it will do. Until or if they forgive me" He takes a seat next to me.
"Hey" I take his hand. "Just give them some time"
He takes my other hand. "I honestly don't know what I would do without you." He kisses my cheek.
I stand up. "Hey where you going?"
"I need to get home." I say genuinely. "Well you know I have all this little space to myself now." He smirks I got to speak. But he picks me up and takes me to the bed.
"Hey Lyn" I say with a massive smile
"Hey girlie, I want you to meet someone", I see a woman who is ready to be greeted.
"This is Claire, my daughter." I look to Lyn and she nods her head and I introduce myself.
I take Lyn to the kitchen. "Is that your daughter, like the one you gave up?" I ask her and she nods and retreats to the living room.
