   Before I start the chapter I wanted to address something, last chapter you guys commented that Andie was rude and stupid and immature and stubborn and all other kind of names simply because she shut Harry out of her life. One even commented that a death of a parent can’t do that. Well first of all it can, a death of the parent is one of the most extreme pains anyone can experience.

Second, it wasn’t all just based on that. Andie has been hurt multiple times, as seen in the book, her father left, her mother got sick, she got addicted and almost died, almost got raped, and now her mother dies, it’s really kind of surprising that she hadn’t shut everyone out already. And of course, after seeing all Harry does with girls, to Talia, and Amanda, it’s kind of understandable that after being hurt so many times she doesn’t want to be hurt by Harry.

  So no, she’s not stupid, or rude, or immature, she’s just doesn’t want to suffer anymore. 

  And also, I’m not going to write any differently just because some people want them to get together now. I know what I’m doing. So please.

And thank you so much for all those commenters that actually understood why she did it, and appreciated the realism in it.

PS – YOU WILL NEED TISSUES, OR LIKE… SOMETHING TO HELP YOUR HEART AND BLOOD PRESSURE AND BE ALONE WHEN YOU READ THIS BECAUSE YOU’RE PROBABLY GONNA SCREAM A LOT. KAY.

Andie

                 

            One thing life has taught me from my mistakes is to not trust anybody, to protect myself, and I never listened. Of course, my mother’s death had nothing to do with that, but it was such a blow that I don’t think I’m ready for another one, and staying with Harry would mean so many blows, I had to do something to stop it from happening.

   Even if that meant getting away from possibly the best yet worst thing that has happened to me. I couldn’t look at him, I didn’t want to see his reaction to what I just said, I just knew the room had stayed silent and I kept my eyes on the floor until Amanda coughed awkwardly.

  “Harry?” She said, breaking the ice. “Are you okay with that?”

I couldn’t hold it any longer, and I turned to look at him. He wasn’t looking at me, or anywhere really, he just stared at the wall coldly. I could tell he was furious. When he didn’t reply, she let out a long sigh and looked at me, “okay, Andie, we’ll have it your way…”

   She stood up, and the sound of her heels announced she was walking away, until I called out, “wait,” I mumbled, keeping my head down.

  She stopped.

“Can I leave now? To my apartment, I mean?” I murmured quietly.

 “Yeah, just take a few weeks off. I’ll call you if I need anything.” She replied, before walking out the door and leaving me with a very pissed, curly haired man.

  The tension rose as soon as she walked out the door, and I couldn’t find the words to explain to Harry why I had made this decision. It wasn’t really about him, it was about me, I was the one who was protecting myself. And just like I’m protecting myself from him I will from everybody else…
