Goodbyes

I sat by the barrier on one of my cases, scrolling through my phone ad I waited for Ben. He was already five minutes late. As I sat there, there was a sudden voice singing behind me,
"I wish that we could just talk
But I don't really know where to start
Yeah, you got every right to be mad
After all of the things that I said
I know I didn't deal with the things properly
But now I'm tryna be the man I supposed to be
If I don't then I'll live the regret
'Cause I hate that I left you upset."

I turned to see Harry looking at me. I looked at him, singing a song my own.
"If I could do it all over
Baby I'd do it different
Maybe I wouldn't be here
In this position
I found you and I lost you
Looking back is torture
And it hurts to know I let you go
You live right around the corner. "
We took a strong closer to one another. (Harry Harmony)

Rather than giving up, he kept singing to me. With me singing to him too.
"I know I hurt you
Never said I love you
But I'm saying now,
And I could've had it all,
Could've had it all
And you should know that
I'm not gonna hold back
This time around
True love, I know I had it
True love, was so hard to find
True love, If I could get it back, yeah
I'd never let it go this time
If you give me another chance
I won't let you down
If you give me another chance
I won't let you down."

By this point we were dancing with each other. He held me close on his lines and I pushed him away when it was mine. It was a mix of dance and almost acting. Kinda weird really. I looked over and saw the limo about to cross over the bridge, but that thing takes about 15 minutes.

"I know I messed up but to tell you the truth
I was too busy hanging out with my crew
You were so cool with it ain't no excuse
I should spend a little time with you
Instead of just playing around, messing about that
I was in the driver seat but who's the passenger now
Sat here trying to figure out
Same song going round and round"

I turned and looked at Harry, tears in my eyes as I shook my head. He just doesn't get it, does he?
"Feeling it all around me, wondering how I blew it
And I wanna know the secret, of how they, do it
There's no such thing as perfection, I'm still learning that lesson
To forgive is key to forgetting me
And I'm staring at my reflection"

He grabbed my hands again and wouldn't let me go, no matter how hard I tried. "Harry-" he cut me off with a kiss and I looked at him, fighting tears.
"I know I hurt you
Never said I love you
But I'm saying now,
And I could've had it all,
Could've had it all
And you should know that
I'm not gonna hold back
This time around
True love, I know I had it
True love, was so hard to find
True love, If I could get it back, yeah
I'd never let it go this time
If you give me another chance
I won't let you down
If you give me another chance
I won't let you down.
True love, is an inspiration
True love, it was mine oh mine
True love, If I could get it back, yeah
Never let it go, I'd never let it go this time.
There are some things that we can not change
No, we can't go back in time
If I knew then what happened, now I'd be with you tonight
But I hope that it isn't too late
To give it another try, oh, I
If I knew then what I'd do now, we'd be alright
Nd we could've had it all, could've had it all."

There was a small silent between us and I shook my head. "I'm sorry, Harry, I... I just can't..." The limo arrived and I looked at Ben before he started grabbing my stuff and putting then in the boot.  "Harmony, please..." Harry's voice was hoarse and full of tears as he looked at me. Looking down, I shook my head again. "I can't..."

I started crying and pulled away from him, getting in the limo and shutting the door. Ben and Harry were mumbling to each other outside before Ben joined be in the limo. He pulled me into a tight hug snd I cried on his shoulder. "Why did I think this would be a good idea, Ben? Everything's going wrong." I sobbed quietly. The limo started moving as Ben spoke. "You got away from trouble in the best way you could. You survived almost a year on the Isle. And you found love. To me, nothing went wrong."
"But the thing with Isaac -"
"Is being sorted the Gotham way. Isaac is currently at his father's boot camp and won't be returning for almost 2 years."

I was shocked. 2 years? And I'd been on the Isle for almost a year? Wow....

Ben's POV

Harmony managed to cry herself to sleep on my shoulder. She curled herself into a ball and shook a little with every breath. Is this from Isaac? Wow. "Your Highness, her Lady Mal is on the phone." He driver told me. "Put her on speaker but not too loud as Princess Harmony is asleep." I answered. He nodded a pressed a few buttons before Mal was heard trough out the limo.

M- Hello?
B - Hey, Mal. What's up?
M - Are you with Harmony?
B - Yeah but she's asleep.
M - Good. The King and Queen of Gotham are here and they seem pretty angry.
B - Tell them we'll be about an hour. Until then, show Harley the gymnastics area and show the Joker our guards training fields. They'll  like them.
M - O-Okay. And what about the guns pointed at your parents and me??
B - WHAT!?

Harmony jumped awake, "What's going on??" I quickly explained everything and suddenly Harmony was in the drivers seat, going at almost 100 mph. "I'm gonna murder my parents.  Hang in there, Mal!"

Hope this was okay. Cya in the next chapter, bai!
