Veronica’s Pov
The trip to John Hopkins was full of nerve wreck and I was one hell of a nervous person. I kept on asking myself the ‘what if’ question and had to hold on to Harry’s hand when we got to the door of the hospital. I don’t get why I have to lean on the person that’s supposed to be leaning on me. Harry is supposed to be scared here and he’s not, I’m the scared one.
I had to sit at the waiting room and let the doctors do their job as I waited in anticipation of the unknown. Several minutes later, Harry came out of the room with the help of a nurse and I couldn’t help the smile forming on my face. He didn’t have that sad look on his face and I’m glad he was smiling a little even though he looked tired.
“Why are you smiling?” I asked as I help him to sit beside me while waiting for the doctor to call us in for the test result.
“I remember something that June
June’s PovI got back into town later that same day and it was a little past three when I returned home. I got home to realize that my parent had gone on their usual trip, without informing me. Mom works for a fashion company while dad is a medical doctor who works in China too and sometimes, when mom is on a company trip to china, they go together.I never knew who my father was, I was told that he died when I was six years old, a car crash that killed him and left mom in the hospital for months and before I turned eight, mom moved on and got married to my stepfather. Justine was a year ahead of me in school as a result of a surgery I had before we entered junior high school.After Justine’s death, everything fell apart at home. Dad is having an affair and I heard the woman is already pregnant with his child and mom; she’s trying to ignore the whole issue by drowning herself with work. I just couldn’t stop blaming myself for all th
June’s POVTrying to ignore as much as possible Harry’s odd behaviour, which he has never exhibited since I started working here, I moved from where he was to the store where his mom was busy attending to the only available customer around, then I realized that I had nothing to do, I didn’t have any other choice than to return back into the room.The atmosphere was so weird with Harry just sitting there and ignoring everything that had managed to come out of my mouth. He was awfully quite which is also unlike him, the way he did his own things by himself was kind of, I had to follow him with my eye every time so as to make sure that he won’t fall or maybe get hurt. The whole room was as if, electric barb wires was used to enclosed it, giving me wrong vibes and all, I’ve decided in my head like three times to go over to his mom and let her know about this new exhibited behavior from Harry but I decided against it because he’s ol
Harry’S POV“I met Ava back in high school, we were in the same class and I’ve always loved her since freshman year even though I never had the courage to walk up to her” We were seated on the couch now and I decided to make her feel better by trying to tell her exactly everything about my marriage, I didn’t want to keep anything out and all these was just for her to feel better.During my trip to the city, I realized that I actually like June a lot, maybe more than a sister and I don’t want it to go beyond that. I don’t think I can ever let anyone take the place of my Ava in my heart.“We knew you both back then, High school sweethearts of the year” she interrupted and I told her jokingly to shut it till I finish my story.“So, one day, I was by my locker with some of my friends and I was stealing glances at her since her locker was on the ot
Harry’s POVThe moment my mother came into the room and called me by my full name, I knew something big was coming.“That’s not fair mom, that’s the cruelest thing you’ll ever do to your own biological child. I didn’t ask for any of these, I didn’t ask to go blind or lose my own family. I didn’t even beg to be a burden to everyone, this is just not fair.”“You are not a burden, Harry. You’ve never been one and you’ll never be one. There are times when I feel bad too for everything that happened to you, but I have to stay positive about it all and now that my prayers have come to pass, I don’t have a say here too. My hands are tied and you know it. If I don’t do this, I’ll lose this deal and I didn’t even know the date will be the same” The international company that she signed a contract with at the start of the year will hold a
June’s POV“Good Morning Sunshine” I turned my head to where the voice was coming from and I realized it was Harry playing cheese and I was awe at the sight. How is that possible?“Sunshine? That’s new and how do you know it’s me?”“Because you always smell like sunshine and because…..” he trailed off before he stopped and faced the game back and I decided to ignore what he just said and not push further.“You know I could beat you at that” I challenged him and he smiled.“How about I tell you that it’s absolutely impossible for you to do that”I placed the stuff I had brought for him on the table and slow danced to where he was. “Challenge accepted bum”Twenty minutes into the game, he had managed to beat me blue black at cheese even though I always thought I was the ‘Queen o
June’s PovAfter I finally registered what just happened, I quickly jumped off the sink and unfortunately sprained my ankle with that. I screamed out in pain and I see Harry trying to find where I was with panic and pain evident in his eyes and my heart broke, my eye swell with tears at the sight as I regretted my action of jumping off the sink at Impulse. I quickly touched his leg and he turned around to find my face.“What happened? Are you okay, June?” he asked and I told him that I just sprained my leg, it’s not a big deal. He pressed the leg and I realized I didn’t feel any pain. That was when it occurred to me that it was a cramp, not a sprain. I started laughing as Harry kept looking surprised and confused at the same time.“It was just a cramp, I didn’t sprain my leg” I informed him and he stood up abruptly and headed for the door.“Don’t scare me l
June’s POVDear Jingle bell,I laughed a little before I could continue reading the letter that Justine had sent from the past and my heart leaped because I was so scared of opening the letter that I had left it for days before I opened it this morning after I had a fight with mom over dad’s infidelity.“You need to stop ignoring the fact that he’s cheating on you, mom. It’s unfair and the fact that he doesn’t even respect you anymore gets to me and you ignoring it kills me too” I had attacked her Immediately she entered the house after her one month trip to God knows where and the media had shown dad as the new sweetheart to a rich and wealthy heiress.“Since when did you start to care, because the last time I checked, I don’t even exist in your dictionary anymore, all you’ve ever done is lock yourself up and i
JUNE’S POVAs I woke up the next morning, the first thing I saw was a message on my phone from Harry wishing me a happy birthday and I smiled wishing I had saw it yesterday, but I guess if even if I did, I wouldn’t be able to reply his message.My mind suddenly went back to his request to follow him to the city for his surgery and how he had asked with desperation. I knew I wouldn’t be able to make it till night without my conscious bugging me about it for the rest of the day. So I stood up from the bed, picked up the letter and thanked Justine for giving me this new courage to be able to face the city. I offered a little prayer to God to help me to avoid seeing anyone that I know either at the hospital or anywhere. There are so many hospitals in the city, so I guess I should be able to get through this without any drama.I picked up my phone and tried Harry’s number to inform him about the ne
