Jessie
I sat there crying for god knows how many minutes. I cried and cried watching Nathan's retreating figure, and feeling sorry and regretful for telling Nathan about Dave's feelings for Rachel did not stop me from crying and being angry at Nathan, even just for a little bit.
I blew my nose on a kleenex I just got from my bag and frowned when I saw Nathan's unfinished ice cream on the bench.
I put both my hands on my face and continued sobbing loudly. I was pretty sure that the poor birds which Nathan chased away by yelling felt sorry for me now. Because they had come back to their tree and they were flying all around me, singing their own song for me. But even their relaxing singing wasn't enough to calm me and stop me from pouring all my heart out.
I can't believe this.
I can't believe Nathaniel Evans aka: my boyfriend who was supposed to love me. Who was supposed to be so much in love with me, would hurt me on our second date.
Oh.My.God.
It's true.
It's true It's true It's true.
Boys hurt the girls they love. I have heard that so much from my middle school friends. That's soooooo true. And here I am crying over someone who loves me yet hurt me.
I'm so stupid.
Well I have a heart after all. And it hurts.
I guess this is why people who are in friend zone are afraid of telling their feelings to their crush. Because it will either destroy and ruin their friendship or the relationship will end up in hurting them both.
Take me and Nathan as an example. The poor guy had a crush on me without me knowing, but we're already fighting.
That's okay though, couples fight, don't they?
It would be boring if our relationship is all sunshine and rainbow. It's in our destiny, all these fights and-
"Cupcake?"
It took me a few seconds to realize that there was someone standing right in front of me, and he (since his voice was male obviously) was calling someone cupcake, and there's a ginormous possibility that someone is me.
I slowly removed my hands from my tear stained face, and saw a pair of white adidas trainers. My eyes slowly landed on his ripped jeans up to his black shirt and black leather jacket, finally I sas concerned looking guy, who looked very familiar, staring at me.
He had his hands in his jeans pockets and he looked rather worried. I blinked a few times and kept staring at him for a few minutes before I found my voice.
"Harry?" I mumbled, then cleared my throat, since my voice had become all squeaky and weird.
"Yep" He said, and grinned from ear to ear, then he sat down on the bench, on where Nathan was sitting half an hour ago.
"So... what's making you cry, cupcake?" He said as he looked at me expectantly.
Cupcake?
"Don't call me cupcake" I say with a frown.
"You know you can tell me anything, right?" He ignored me completely.
I remained silent for quite a while, and wiped my tears with the back of my hand.
"What are you doing here?" I asked, and blew my nose on the kleenex in my hand.
"Cupcake," He said and chuckled "I came all the way here to eat ice cream from that shop. I didn't come to hear you answer my questions with a question, so I'll really appreciate it if you don't waste my precioussss time, and just get on with it."
I felt rush into my cheeks from embarrassment, the poor guy is here to comfort me.
"I...actually... I just had a fight with my boyfriend" I blurted out and looked at Harry in wonder. I wonder if he's surprised that a girl like me has a boyfriend?
Surprisingly Harry doesn't seem shocked by knowing that I'm taken at all, which is good.
"Your boyfriend?" He asks instead, as he puts his chin between his thump and index finger.
"Yeah" I answer while nodding my head.
"I mean... who's your boyfriend?" He asks, with a raised eyebrow, and a hint of a smile on his face.
"Nathan," I said, "the guy I-"
"Nathaniel Evans is your boyfriend?" Harry interrupted me, seeming quite surprised with this news.
"Umm...yeah. Why do you seem so surprised?" I couldn't help but ask. Harry sighed and rubbed his chin, which was covered in tiny stubble. His white-blonde hair looking completely white under the sun.
"Tell me everything about your love life, cupcake." He demands, and stares at me intently.
"I can't just tell a stranger about my love-"
"What's my name?" He interrupts me.
"Umm..that's a weird question, do you perhaps have amnesia?" I ask feeling doubtful.
"Just answer." He said and crossed his arms over his chest.
"Harry Hikings" I mumble.
"Couldn't hear you" Harry said as he put his left ear closer to my face, making me blink a few times.
"Harry Hikings!" I say in a louder voice. And look at my surroundings.
"See? You know my name and this is not the first time we meet" He says with a shrug, "So, go ahead and tell me how the hell you got to date a guy like Nathaniel Evans!"
I stare at Harry, and narrow my eyes, I wonder if I can trust him. But well he's only asking me to tell him about my relationship with Nathan.
So I take a deep breath and start to tell him about my love life with my childhood friend, I start by tellling him about Samuel Davies, and how he rejected me. I narrate everything, minus the part that I have asked out fourteen guys before Nathan asked me out.
Harry listens patiently to every word I say. Sometimes he nods, other times he frowns so I know he hasn't understood that part and I repeated it for him. He narrowed his eyes while I told him about some other parts, so I knew he didn't quite like them.
He listened without interruption, seemed more curious about my relationship with Nathan though. When I finished telling him about our fight, Harry was silent for quite a while.
"Hmm..." He mumbled and stared at me with a blank expression on his face. "I wish you the best with him, Jessie. But...be careful, don't get hurt, alright?"
With that said, he got up quickly and walked to the ice cream shop and out of sight. Leaving me speechless and surprised.
What just happened?
