Chapter Thirty Five

Drew’s POV

I stand in the middle of my bedroom staring out the balcony window with my arms crossed and my heart breaking in my chest. My arms are shaking and I’m finding it hard to breathe. The only thing I see in my mind is her face. Tear streaked and pained. Her back as she runs away from me. The look on her face when she saw me reaching out to her.

I squeeze my eyes shut as a stinging sensation nips at my eyelids. I lock my arms tighter around my body and throw myself out the cold empty bed gulping down the lump forming in my throat.

I keep trying to convince myself that she’s not gone. That she isn’t the second girl to leave me. But this time; it’s different. Harmony means more to me then Addy ever did, then anything else in this world. And she left. She left without turning back. What happened to last night? The sweet words exchanged? Did she forget it all? The house I had bought? The hidden promise behind the house?

I move my arms from their clenched position. My hand brushes across something cold and smooth. I stop moving my hand and turn my head slightly, spotting a piece of folded paper lying on my pillow. I take the paper in my hand holding it up.

Drew.

Is written in soft scrawl on the front. The familiar scrawl. The lump forms in my throat again knowing that this letter was written by Harmony. My Harmony. I brush my thumb gently across the lettering and slowly open the letter.

My vision turns blurry at the sight of the words covering the page. The sight of the water droplets amongst the writing breaks my heart even more. Harmony was crying. I brush my thumb across the water droplets focusing my attention back to the letter.

Andrew,

You don’t know how hard it was for me to turn away from you, to leave you. I watched the heartbreak on your face as I turned away from you even though you had come after me. I almost turned back, almost. But my reason for leaving you is much more important.

You promised to protect me from Blaine. You promised you wouldn’t get yourself hurt. You promised to come back to me. You promised to make me feel safe.

But you didn’t think once about yourself. About your safety. Your protection. How you would exactly keep yourself from getting hurt.

I did. I thought about it the minute you mentioned Ian. I did. All of the times we had together were racing through my mind like a slideshow.

The memories I hold dear reminded me that your safety to me, is much more important then mine. So much more. I’d give up the world just for you to be safe. And I did.

I left my whole world on a beach right before a wedding. I gave you up even though my whole being was begging me not to.

I know that I broke your heart. I know what Addy did to you, and that what happened just brought back all those memories. That same pain. I don’t know what I mean to you, although I hope I mean something. As you mean to me.

I want you to know, that if there was any other way to keep you safe from Blaine then I sure as hell would’ve done it. I would walk across the world for you Drew. I’d do anything.

I’ll never love anyone as much as I’ve loved you. Love you. You’re the only person who holds my whole heart, so keep it safe. However, I want you to move on. You’re a wonderful person Drew, and I got to experience that for a little while. I was lucky enough to, and even though it pains me to think that we’ll never live in that house together, I want you to find someone else. And love her like you loved me.

Don’t worry about Blaine. I’ve got it handled. You won’t have to worry about him hurting you or your family. I’d die to protect them and most importantly; you.

Please stay safe D.

All my love,

Harmony.

Then just like that my heart heals and I spring from the bed.

She does love me. She didn’t desert me. I knew Harmony would never do that to me. She’s protecting me in the silliest way possible. No, if she wanted to protect me it didn’t mean leaving. Protecting me would be staying beside my side with a revolver loaded and ready to shoot. Not leaving and breaking my heart.

Skimming over the letter again trying to spot a hint as to wear she is I spot a phrase that chills me to the bone.

Don’t worry about Blaine. I’ve got it handled.

“HELL NO” I cry shoving the letter into my pocket.

Harmony was basically turning herself into Blaine. No, not while I’m alive and breathing. I book it out of my room, bolting down to the beach. Ian would surely be there. A get a couple stairs from the guests as they watch me run across the beach still in my tux. My hands bloodied and cut from the damage I did to them after Leigh-Anne got hitched back in our bedroom.

“IAN” I shout in the middle of the room.

Sassy catches sight of me and the minute she does so the smile is wiped clean of her face. She shoves her way through the crowd to get to me, grabbing my arm and hauling me away so as not to cause a scene. She pushes me into the kitchen and ushers all the cooks out. She closes the door before turning to me.

My heart is beating fast in fear and my blood is pumping in my ears. The sound of Harmony’s voice begging me to save her echoing in my mind. I answer her back with an of course and drop my head in my hands.

“Andrew you tell me what’s wrong now” Sassy demands.

I shake my head, “I can’t”

Sassy shakes her own head and pries my hands from my head, “Not the answer I wanted to hear. I don’t care what it is Drew. You look like your best friend just died”

I stare straight into Sassy’s eyes, “If I don’t find Ian now, my best friend will have died”

Sassy stares at me blankly before realisation crosses her features. She grabs my hand holding onto it tightly.

“Drew where is she?”

I shake my head slumping against the table, “I can’t tell you, Mony wouldn’t want that”

Sassy smacks my upper arm glaring at me warningly, “I don’t give two shits what Harmony wants. She’s in danger; I have a right to know”

I look away from her pleading, “You have to let me find Ian, before it’s too late”

Sassy glares at me and clenches her teeth, “I’m not finding Ian until I know what’s wrong with Harmony”

I turn to her and explode. As much as I wish that I can’t, I do. She’s not letting me get to Harmony. She’s wasting precious remaining hours of Harmony’s life. And I intend to save it. I can’t do that if I can’t get away from Sassy.

“SHE WAS RAPED OKAY?” I holler, “BLAINE RAPED HER AND SHE LEFT ME TO KEEP ME SAFE. NOW BLAINE HAS HER AND SHE’S GOING TO GET HURT. I NEED TO SAVE HER” A mental image of Harmony lying bloody and broken on the floor sends me to my knees tears blurring my vision again, “I need to save her Sassy” I choke.

Sassy gasps and drops to her knees beside me, hauling me up from the ground. She clamps onto my hand and drags me out of the kitchen.

“We’ll save her Drew, we’ll save her, don’t cry”

I feel like such a baby with tears streaming down my face. I’m twenty two for Christ Sake, I shouldn’t be crying. The thought alone of living with Harmony kills me inside. Even if we aren’t together I can take that. Not when she’s dead. I’ll be following. I swipe away the tears angrily clenching my hands into tight fist so my finger nails prick my skin causing a distraction.

Sassy pulls me through the crowd towards the back of the dance floor, avoiding the looks of the curious guests. Leigh-Anne and Finn don’t notice as they are busy lip locked on the dance floor. Mum and Dad are dancing over beside the drink tables and my friends are already trashed, stripping out back behind the tent to go skinny dipping.

Sassy yanks me to a stop in front of him. Ian. She shoves him to get his attention. Ian turns, his brown eyes glinting in question. His brown hair blows in the wind. Ian looks to me and worry spreads across his face the moment he sees Sassy and my facial expressions.

“What?” He asks worriedly.

“Harmony” I rasp, “Blaine’s taken her”

Ian’s eyes snap up to mine and he turns on his heel running from the dance floor, “How do you know for sure?”

I shake my head slowing down beside the water where my boat is parked, “Something is telling me he has her. She went looking for him”

Ian turns to me, loosening his tie, “Why?”

I shrug, “To keep him away from those she loves”

Sassy gasps from beside me, “She left to protect us?”

I nod, “Yea, which is why Ian and I have to save her”

I loosen my tie, wrenching of my jacket tossing it aside. Sassy shakes her head and glares at me, a look of determination in her eyes.

“No frigging way are you leaving me behind. Harmony’s my sister, I’m not deserting her. I’m going with you two whether you like it or not”

I shake my head opening my mouth to persuade her to stay behind when Ian cuts me off.

“I think it would be best if you stayed behind. That way Drew wouldn’t have to worry about you getting hurt”

Sassy shakes her head, pulling her hair down from its clip, “I don’t give a damn, I’m coming and I can look after myself”

I shake my head opening my mouth again but Sassy cuts me off with a warning glare, “Don’t even say anything Drew, I’m coming and that’s it”

Sassy stomps off towards the woods beside the water her heels clicking on the ground. Sassy disappears in the woods momentarily and bursts out looking frantic holding three hand guns in her hand and a sheet of paper in the other.

“ANDREW” She shrieks running over to us. She tosses a gun to both me and Ian even though I always have a gun in my pants.

“Blaine left us something” She pants shoving the piece of paper into my shaking hands.

I rip open the envelop and pull out the small sheet of paper unfolding it in a rush to read it.

There are only two words written on the paper. Two words that prove my theory.

I win.

All the sadness I felt earlier escapes my body and is replaced with anger like no anger I’ve ever felt before. I clench my fists and rip up the little slip of paper booking it onto the dock. Without having to say anything, Sassy and Ian follow me at the same pace.

Bitch has my girl and I’m getting her back. Hell or no Hell, I’m bringing my girl home.

Hey there guys! Whadya think? Tell me down there in your comments. I'd really like to know what you think. Those of you who are mad about Harmony leaving in the last chapter and that are sending me hate mail! Chill. Chill brahh. They couldn't always stay in their honeymoon stages; real world's not like that.

Song on the side is Fire by Rahgav. Super catchy song that I've had stuck in my head for days! Lol I think my friends are tired of hearing it, lmfao!

Picture on the side is Ian.

Please do me a favour. If you wouldn't mind could you pretty please check out my other story Dear Cole? I personally think it's going to turn out better then this one.
