Harry.
- Song: Flicker (acoustic) by Niall Horan (FU.CK YES.) -
I drive through the golden gates, looking outside the tinted glass to see the familiar pink building. I park the car along with other expensive looking cars before adjusting my tie. As if I had a clue on how to. Breathing in the fresh air, I continue to sit in the car and look outside as people dressed in neat attire make their way to the building.
Flashback.
Niall pushes me back, making me stumble and fall on the cement. "Let me see her!" I yell standing up. "F.uck off mate! You're gonna get me fired! The receptionist didn't let you because you're a stranger so no, I can't let you see her myself." He whispers looking back to make sure his class couldn't hear our conversation.
"Niall, just this once! I need to talk to her!" I try to push through the doors but he holds me back, his strength beating my tired, bruised body.
"But she doesn't need to talk to you Harry! She's fu.cking heart broken, okay? You know what she sings during our lessons, depressing love songs! You know why? Because of you. Now let her be!"
"Since when did you care? Huh, ass.hole? Remember what you said?" I brush the dust off my t-shirt. "Piss off Harry, I was drunk and you know what, she is a nice girl. So what I said about Zayn liking her is probably true." "Oh, fu.ck off mate." I shake my head laughing. "Leave before I call the security guards."
"Your security guards are shit!" I laugh walking off. I continue to walk before noticing a poster stuck on the grey wall. I pull it off the wall reading the cursive writing, "Come watch our marvelous music students perform this Friday at the Katherine M. Elfers Hall. Dress Code: Business Formal/Cocktail. See you there. - Principal. Weatherbee"
End of Flashback.
Not knowing if Clementine is even gonna be here, I decide to finally leave the car and enter the building. Holding pink roses in my hand while walking with the crowd to the large hall that read Katherine M. Elfers Hall. I take a seat upstairs waiting for the night to unfold. Feeling anxious but excited. I hope she's here. I hope I can hear her voice again.

"And now, please welcome Hotchkiss' very new student, Clementine May Wilson on vocals. With Mr. Niall Horan on the piano performing his original song, Flicker." My eyes instantly move from my phone to the center of the stage. Where Niall sits on a piano seat and my baby girl stands in front of the microphone stand. She looks down, her pink cheeks visible from up here, shyly fixing her long, flowy brown dress. Hinting a bit of skin with the long cut from her thighs to the end of the dress. How beautiful she looks.
I slide my phone back into my pocket, my whole attention captured by my angel. She looks around the room before smiling, in the same direction of her hazel eyes I see Mr. Wilson but also Zayn, Mila and a blonde boy. I whisper a cuss, earning a few looks from people, mostly people older than me. But I don't bother to deal with them.
When you feel your love's been taken
When you know there's something missing
In the dark, we're barely hangin' on
Then you rest your head upon my chest
And you feel like there ain't nothing left
I'm afraid that what we had is gone
Then I think of the start
And it echoes a spark
And I remember the magic electricity
Then I look in my heart
There's a light in the dark
Still a flicker of hope that you first gave to me
That I wanna keep
Please don't leave
Please don't leave
I feel every word leaving her lips rip my heart open. But I listen to her shaky voice and watch her closely like my eyes were glued onto her body, her hands, her teary eyes. She continues to sing making my heart and body feeling all sorts of emotions because I've never heard her sing like this before. It isn't just a sad slow song, but a song full of her emotions.
It's only a matter of seconds that her wondering teary eyes finally meet mine. She hiccups but continues to sing, looking at me for a second or so before looking back into the audience. Fu.ck.
Please don't leave.
She sings with a trembling soft voice before ending the song, feeling as if it was intended for me. But she was the one that left. Before the curtains close, I see her run off the stage wiping her eyes. I quickly stand up, rushing downstairs and outside the building via the back door. I look around the quite night sky.
Finding her by the sounds of her small cries. "Clementine." I manage to breathe, looking at her head between her small hands. She looks up, her makeup staining under her sad eyes. "Go away." She clears her throat.
"I- need to talk to you..." I approach her slowly, with the roses in my hands. "F.uck your talking Harry." "It's been like a month or whatever, and I honestly didn't need to see you. I was doing better before this, before even meeting you." She sounded more confident than that night.
"But I s-swear, Clementine, I can fix this. I-"
"You know what, stay and listen. Listen to what you've done to me."
"I want you to know you hurt me, you hurt me real bad! And I haven't gotten over it but it's great to know you have. Because you're a disgusting monster! I hope when you touch other girls you remember me! Every night, I hope you think about how damaged and heart broken I am. And how I can't be a normal 16 year old anymore. And how I can't talk to anybody about these thoughts and problems that are eating me alive!" She screams grabbing the roses from my hand and throwing them on the floor.
"Please, ju-just hear me out. You- Just let me explain."
"Explain what? Oh Georgia's nothing! Oh I would never do anything to hurt you! All along you've been lying! How many lies can you fit inside of you?!"
"I- haven't been lying.... But hey, what happened to, you don't leave someone you l-love?!"I ask hoping she'd remember because I do. "You know what happened? I left because I needed to." "BUT YOU DIDN'T NEED TO!" I say feeling defeated with her words but I couldn't let her go. Not without trying. "I needed to, in fact I SHOULD'VE LEFT IN THE START!"
"Clementine let me explain. You won't even hear me out, this is unfair. There's things you don't know but you should." She stops pacing around, letting her teary eyes land on me.
"You know what's unfair? That I gave you all of me to know that so have other girls and so has this woman who you've vowed to stay loyal to.... You know what else is unfair? I can barely do things, I can barely shower without looking at my body and thinking of you and the times you touched me. IT'S UNFAIR BECAUSE I WANT TO BE ALONE! I want to be so so alone, I'm so distant, I'm not me, I'm not bubbly, I'm not happy."
I quickly walk to her holding her arms still before hugging her, she cries on my shoulder trying to push me away. But I try my best to comfort her in my hold. To have her right here, right now already made me feel happier than before. Let alone being able to have her in my arms again.
"But you, you can have woman after woman, night after night... Don't you ever think of me?" She whispers letting her tired body rest on mine. "I-I do. I always do."
"And ever since you left, I've never touch another girl. Well I tried but it wasn't you and you're the only one I w-want, Clementine. And if it somehow changes your mind, I want you to know that during everything else, Georgia and I haven't spoken since I was 20. Y-Yes we're married but we parted ways as friends who wanted to go separate ways. We just kept the marriage there because we were so busy in everything and we didn't know if we'd still -"
"You're still married, it doesn't change anything." She cuts me off, still resting her body on mine. "If you call marriage sleeping with other people and just not talking to your partner at all, then okay." I lightly chuckling remembering Georgia and her flings with other men. "So- in short Clementine, I wasn't cheating on her. She knows about what I do and I know about what she does. Whoever told you these things-probably fu.cking Zayn, is out of their mind." Inside, I pray she'd forgive me and tell me she still loves me because I think I love her.
"Well that makes me feel stupid but that also doesn't erase the things you've done to other girls. I hate the thought of being just 'another one'." She whispers, loud enough for me to hear as her forehead was on my shoulder. "I-I know, but I want you to know I feel differently about you and I'vebeen such a.."
"D.ickhead, cun.t, bast.ard, ass.hole, stupid fu.cker, literally the worst person in the world." She cuts my sentence. "Yeah, yeah, okay that. But just also know...-"
"Clementine, dear? Where are you?" I hear a familiar voice. She quickly pushes herself off of me before wiping her tears and fixing her hair.
"I-" Before I could finish, she quickly runs off leaving me alone. Like she has before.
