The air got knocked out of me as I heard his voice being played from the small speaker, ”Hi this is Harry, leave a message and I will call you back as soon as I can."

What was happening? Why weren’t he answering his phone? Why was he sitting on a coffee with her? Why did he tell me earlier that he’d study during this whole weekend? Why ... why was he avoiding me? I felt numb as I kept my eyes on him, carefully watching them. I saw how they both raised from their chairs and Harry quickly got dressed in his usual black dun lined jacket, while Megan gracefully got dressed in her maroon coat that showed off all her natural positive qualities, while I was still standing outside. Out on the cold street, in the darkness, spying on them. Spying on my boyfriend, who just declined my call, while having a coffee with my worst enemy. They were heading towards the exit door as I saw them laughing once more, but then I saw Megan grabbing the collar of his jacket and pulling him closer towards her body. What was to happen next was something I was no longer able to deny to myself.

They kissed.

I was in a shock. I felt nothing. Everything was blank, my whole head was blank. It wasn’t until I heard a familiar voice speaking calmly in the background, that’s when I felt it. The pain. They kissed.
My phone slipped out of my hand unconsciously and I could hear when it smashed onto the ground. I closed my eyes tightly as it felt like everything around me was spinning. The lump in my throat was nothing I was able to describe, as I felt my knees getting weaker. I wanted to scream as loud as I possibly could. I was heartbroken and completely destroyed, and I felt like crying and disappearing.

I heard the same voice yelling at me, but I didn’t care.
Dear God in heaven, what have I ever done to you or to anyone else because of you making this happen to me? The one I love the most, doesn’t love me back. I get the feeling of him playing a game with me, and he’s the only one enjoying it. I was sick of all the lies and secrets.

I heard Christopher saying my name once more, this time he was so close that I could feel his breath against my cheek. His soft voice was filled with anxiety and frustration.
He quickly embraced me into a tight hug, making me feel a little bit warmer despite the thick layers of garments that practically prevent our body heat to emerge each other. I guess he was like a shelter from the wind. Soon I realized that my cheeks were wet with tears, and I couldn’t think of anything else than why there must always be some kind of a secret locked away that comes to hand at the worst possible time and way?

“I’m so sorry” Christopher whispered in my ear, in an attempt to comfort me, guessing he saw the exact same thing as I did.

“Sarah?” The voice sounding doubtful belonged to the one causing my tears and the reason I’ve got all of these emotions. The person who keeps on hurting and torturing me.
I felt like shouting and yelling at him, telling him how incredibly stupid he is and that he had blown everything.

Everything between us.

But instead I hugged Christian even tighter. I knew I should’ve been saying something, anything, but I couldn’t find my voice. Everything was still moving around me I didn’t want to see the least of him. I felt Christian hugging me back as he
I knew I would’ve either just say something I’d regret later, or slap him without any hesitations as soon as I’d seen him, and then I’d begin to cry even harder and sulk down on the grown in the fetal position, feeling sorry for myself. I guess he would literally leave me shattered into pieces on the ground as he would leave with Megan. With other words; me putting up with a big scene.
“What’s going on here?” He asked rudely, but I just kept on hugging Christopher tighter, not wanting to hear or being close to Harry. I was also got slightly shocked about the fact that he’s still breathing properly.
Harry called my name once again, this time he sounded more desperate. I could tell that he was approaching towards us, although I couldn’t hear his footsteps muffled because of the snow.

“Take your hands off my girl!” I heard him yell and the next thing I knew, I was embraced by the cold winter air. I didn’t react until I heard Christopher screaming and begging him to let him go, that’s when I opened my eyes. The first thing I saw was Christian laying on the cold ground as Harry sat on Christopher’s stomach while he was punching him repeatedly in the face.

“Harry Stop!” It just came out of my mouth and I headed towards them without any hesitations. He stopped immediately as s soon as I grabbed Harry’s both shoulders in an attempt to drag him away from Christopher.
When Harry turned away from him to face me, I glanced at Christopher’s face.

Oh my God, what have I done? It feels like I’m screwing things up even when I’m not trying.
Harry just ruined everything between us, and like that wasn’t enough for him, he beat up the one comforting me when he screwed it up.

“What the fuck is wrong with you?” I yelled, the swearing coming from the aggressive side of me he just mattered.
He’d been focusing on beating Christopher up, so when he strongly reacted when he finally saw my face, “Why are you crying? Babe?” He tried to calm himself down as he was breathing heavily. He usually never calls me names...
I was a sobbing mess as I quickly ran over to Christopher to see how he was doing.
I bent down over him as my thumb gently stroked his cold cheek while I saw what Harry had caused. His lower lip and his nose were bleeding, and I could tell that at least two bruises would appear. He quietly whispered that he was okay as he tried to sit up, while he pretty quickly grabbed a hold of his right temple. Eventually he managed to stand on his feet, and he walked towards something laying on the ground only a few meters away from me, as soon as he’d found his balance again.

Harry seemed to be pretty strong after all, I mean, Christopher is pretty muscular but at the same time very flexible. But to be honest, I don’t think Christopher fought him back, or else there would be at least a couple on traces on Harry’s face as well.

“Why were… why are you ignoring me?” He asked like a child on Christmas Eve that still hasn’t met Santa Claus yet, while he was coming closer towards us. You could tell that he was still trying to catch his breath.

“Say something” he takes another step.

I stopped for a while as the tears kept rolling down my cheeks. I sobbed once more my brain finally connects with my mouth as I turned my chilly gaze towards him,

“I saw you!” I yelled shortly at the top of my lungs.

Harry’s face got completely pale, all the blood seemed to be drawn from his entire body as he gulped hard, guessing he knew exactly what I was talking about.

He opened his mouth, “I… I…”

I rose up from my previous position, “How could you do this to me? You… you… I can’t…” I have so many things in my head to say, they just won’t come out.

“I’m… Sarah… “ Harry reached for my hand and his fingers were ice cold. I jerked away as the tears who’d calmed down, were now threatening my eyes and I struggled hard to swallow down all the emotions running through me. He took one last step forward towards me, and our lips were just inches away from each other.

“Just don’t.” I pushed him away from me.
I hate the fact that he just admitted that something actually happened. I was deeply hoping for him to come up with some desperate explanation.

“Please, just let me explain” he rubbed his hand over the back of his neck frustratingly, like he always does. Speak of the devil.
“You kissed her,” I said disgustingly, “what more is there to explain?”
“She kissed me!” he raised both his voice and his arms in a desperate gesture.

I think I got even more disgust than I was before, if even possible.

Notes

16 days, that's how long it has been since I last updated.
The main reason is school, but I've got no homework or tests to study for, for a whole week! So that's pretty nice.
But instead I'm going to take most of the time to write chapters.

Another reason for me not updating is because I really felt unmotivated because some girl stole my story and published it on wattpad! I got really mad, but she eventually deleted it.
I've published the first chapter on this story on wattpad, and I'm going to do a few minor and a few mayor changes in the story as I'll copy the contents!
You can find it here: http://www.wattpad.com/story/9296213-i-will-always-choose-you
