100 ways to crush your soul prompts
âY/N wait!â Harrison shouted after you, pushing his way out of the small group of his friends and handing his beer to Tom before picking up the pace. You walk quickly, taking larger steps than you ever had before and pushing your heels into the ground with each step in attempt to get out sooner.
âY/N, Y/N please just stop, babeâ He follows you all the way outside, into the cool breeze which seems to sober him up somewhat. âY/N, please listen-â
âWhat!â You pivot on your heel and glare at the blue eyed boy in front of you. He stops in his tracks, taking in the sight of blood shot eyes, the same ones that had told him you loved him now looking broken. Tears only held back by their own surface tension. The smallest bit more and theyâd fall, rolling down flushed cheeks that heâd once held in his hands as he kissed you for the first time. Trembling lips that had been against his own only hours earlier until both pairs were pink and swollen now looking chapped and dry. Hair that he used to distractedly roll between his forefinger and thumb until you fell asleep was now disheveled. He saw you pulling at it on the way out of the house but the whole image together was something else. It cracked his heart.
âI- I donât- Itâs justâ Harrison sighs and then groans running a hand through his own hair, âFor fucks sake it wasnât meant to go his far. I swearâ He takes a step towards you. You step back.
âI donât care how far it was intended to go. You lied to me Harrison. You made me believe that you cared about me. So congratulations, I suppose. You won. Take your reward and goâ You turn around to leave again but Harrison grabs your wrist.
âLet go of meâ You try to shake his hand off but to no avail, âDonât touch me Harrisonâ
âIâm not letting go until you agree to listenâ
âWhy should I listen?â You shout, âThe last time I listened you told me you loved me, Harrison. And then I find out itâs a fucking bet? Real fucking nice
âBut stupid me! You know? For thinking that maybe for once it was real? Maybe for once someone actually cared? Stupid me for thinking that maybe just maybe there was someone actually good that was interested in me. For thinking that what everyone told me about you wasnât true. Itâs my own damn faultâ You find your self sniffling as tears steadily stream down your face. You donât know when they started but you didnât care, you wiped them away with the cuff of your sweater. You take a deep breath and try to compose yourself
âThe moment you saw me as a bet was the moment you fucked upâ You look up at Harrison. Were those tears? Part of you wants to apologize to him. Wipe his tears away, kiss him, and drop it. But the other part of you is stronger. The part of you that knows you have nothing to apologize for.
âPlease let me make it up to you. Let me show you that itâs more than just a bet to me. It started as a bet sure but it turned into more. All the dates, the âI love youâs, everything. I meant it. I fell in love with youâ Harrison admits, finally letting go of your hand. You step back slowly shaking your head.
âItâs too late for that, Harrisonâ You turn around and walk away, Harrison doesnât follow. Toms hand on his shoulder brings him back, heavy bass line lowly booms in his ears from the house behind him.
âCâmon mate, lets goâ Tom guides him back into the house. He knew this was going to happen, really. Tom knew all along and he had tried to warn Harrison but heâd deny it happening until he was too invested.
Harrison didnât know if heâd see you on Tuesday. Sitting two rows in front of him and one seat to the left. Maybe youâd switch spots to avoid him. But Harrison needs to prove to you that he loves you. That he meant it, and that heâs sorry. Heâd spend his whole life doing so if he had to. But time is a bitch, and he might only have until graduation.
Heâd do the best he could by then.
