"Sometimes people change
and sometimes we give
second chances."
-Kim De Belen
Chapter Twenty Six
• • • • •
Silence fell into the room as we both sat there on the couch. The silence wasn't uncomfortable but its quite awkward too.
"Soooo..." I start to say before the situation gets more awkward. After that long awaited hug, the both of us don't really know what to tell each other.
The new found informations are so overwhelming that it left me speechless— inarticulate. And that kind of thing doesn't happen often to a person like me.
"What should we do now?" I finally had the courage to turn my head to his side as the words slip my mouth.
Harry was just sitting there, looking deep in thought, so I decided to leave him be.
But as soon as I did, he finally spoke up. "C-Can I ask you something?" nervousness.
Harry? Nervous? that's alien-like. It rarely happens.
I then decided to just nod in response.
He shifted his body sidewards to face me, his lower back against the arm of the couch, one of his leg was folded like how you do when you sit indian like, and it was placed on the couch.
But the thing I admire most is how his thumb and his index finger play with his lower lip. A signal that he's thinking a lot or when he's nervous.
"D-Do y-you forgive me now?" he blurted out.
My eyes widened as the words left his mouth. I should be thinking about the decision, but his piercing green eyes are keeping me from doing so.
"Aly?" he searched for any reaction from me.
Should I really forgive him? Although all of these was apparently Lucy's fault, but he still didn't trust me enough. That's what hit me hard.
The thought of my own boyfriend-slash-bestfriend not trusting me enough, even though it happened in the past, is really disappointing.
He still basically cheated on me.
Instead of asking me why, he almost instantaneously found a replacement for me without trying even a tad to know the real story.
And the fact that he trusted that back stabbing biatch more than his own girlfriend hurts.
"No, Harry. I can't do that right now." Before I could even think about it again, the voice I thought was lost had found its way out of my mouth.
"B-But why? Aly, tell me why?" he sounded like he's pleading. Maybe he is.
"Well you still basically cheated on me." I retorted.
"And its not really that easy to forgive you Harry. Give me some time to think about these and let all of it sink in first. But..."
His body suddenly jolted up when he heard me say the 'But' word, as if there was a newly lit spark of hope in him.
"But what?!" he moved closer to me, looking like a kid on christmas.
"I could perhaps give you a second chance. And this time, I need the effort." I slightly smiled.
Harry's sudden gaiety made my smile grow wider.
"I won't let you down this time Aly." he grinned.
"Now, for a sabotage plan for Patrice and Lucy..." I changed the topic and brushed my hands together as if I were a villain planning an evil scheme for my nemesis.
They better get ready because I'm going to hit them ten times more.
