Harry's POV

My chest tightens at the sight in front of me right now. Her face red from her crying, her eyes more glossy than I have ever seen them before and I want to punch myself knowing I'm the cause of all of it.

I knew someday this was all going to Happen. I wasn't expecting it to happen at this time, this moment..but I was going to tell her when the time was right. I was. Right? I was so caught up in trying to make myself even forget about it. I paid people, not in just money but my own personal values I've owned to not speak of this. I feel like an even more piece of shit saying that to myself right now. I had the audacity to pay people to keep quiet about something that she had every right knowing from the beginning. I swear I can almost feel the same exact pain she is feeling; just seeing her look at me like this, in this way is filled with so much hatred and betrayal makes me die slowly inside.

I'm not even focusing on Adam right now who's still leaned up against that damn tree wiping and spitting the blood out of his mouth and sending me quick smirks and laughs when I walk by him. Abby puts her hand on my chest to stop me from running after her but I don't. I push right past her hand and I ignore her call of my name to stop.

The rain falls heavier now, the loud droplets pounding to the concrete. The wind blows hard making it harder to see Beth who continues to run farther and farther. I pick up my pace now to reach up to her.

"Stop!" I yell after her even though I'm close enough to grab her by the arm now. She spins around and looks at me, teeth chattering and her hair sticking to both sides of her face.

"I said don't touch me!" She growls through gritted teeth and yanks her arm from my light grip on her.

"Beth, all of that was before I really got to know you! It means nothing now. I swear it, I've been beating myself up every day over what I did." I jump to start trying to explaining myself before she runs away from me.

I need her to know that this was all just a mistake. I fucking stupid mistake I made months ago and have been hating myself ever since I realized what I've done.

She takes a couple steps back away from me and crosses her arms over her chest. "You've been beating yourself up?!" She almost laughs over her cries.

I sound stupid now saying that I've been beating myself up when she's the one who had to deal with all of the problems. I've ruined her. Her eyes leave mine again as she takes a huge intake of air and looks out where Abby and Adam are.

"Yes!" I yell over the rain, making her look back over at me. "I hate myself for what I did."

"You're lying." She shakes her head.

"I'm not."

"You never cared about me. Never. You're lying to me right now, I know it." No. She can't think that. That's not true at all. I've always cared for her, ever since I regretted what I did I have loved her.

"Beth-"

"It all makes sense now." She cuts me off and looks past me and throws her hands in the air. "I feel like such an idiot because you always said sorry for no reason! 'Do you trust me Beth?'" she mock me .
