Katelyn POV

"I think we should start planning the wedding," Harry says, sitting down beside me.

"Really already?"

"What do you mean already,"

"We've been engaged for a week. Normally, people wait a while before starting to plan things," I speak.

"I want to get married to you as soon as possible," I think he wanted to get me away from Arthur as soon as possible.

"We can start planning," I smile at him. Well, I fake a smile.

"How about a summer wedding?"

"That's in a month," I speak.

"Perfect timing then, isn't it," I frown. "What's wrong with you now,"

"Why are you trying to rush into this?" I ask."You never wanted to talk about the future before now. You all of a sudden want to get married as soon as possible. I don't get it?"

"It isn't a big deal. I just know what I want now. Do you not want to get married or something?"

"I never said that,"

"You didn't have to. I can see it on your face. Is Arthur trying to get in your head and stop this?"

"What no, why would you even think that,"

"I don't know he doesn't like me much,"

"Can you stop bringing him into every conversation we have? This weird fixation you have isn't healthy,"

"The fixation you have in him isn't healthy," I frown. "He never leaves your side. How am I supposed to know that nothing is going on between you two,"

"Are you joking?" I ask."Have you forgotten I'm marrying you,"

"Why do you think i asked," I step back, "I asked so I could finally get him away from you, but that didn't seem to work out,"

"You proposed so he would get away from me?"

"I mean, it wasn't the only reason I love you," I shake my head at him. "How could I not be jealous? You're always with him. He knows you more than I do. You both live together," he says."I was just trying to get you to myself because how much I love you," I knew he was trying to manipulate me he had a thing for that and me stupidly letting him because I didn't want to admit how I still felt for Arthur.

"I don't want to have this conversation," I say.

"Then I'll stop," I knew he'd bring it up another day.

"Great," I smile, grabbing my things.

"Where are you going?"

"Home,"

"What about the planning,"

"We can do it another day. I can't deal with this right now," he goes to talk, but I slam the door before he can.

~~~~~~~

"What's up with you?" Arthur asks as I walk through the door.

"Harry,"

"What's he done this time?"

"He proposed to me so he could get me away from you," he frowns.

"He did what?"

"We both know he's always been jealous of you of our relationship,"

"Did he really think that would work?" He asks."Tell me you finally broke it off with him. I mean, you didn't want to marry him in the first place,"

"I'd be lying if I told you I broke it off,"

"Katie,"

"I know, but he seemed sorry," it wasn't the reason I didn't call it off.

It wasn't fair to Harry what I was doing, but it also wasn't fair what he was trying to do to me. Me marrying Harry stops the whole feeling for my best friend who has died down.

"He's always sorry,"

"Can we not get into it,"

"Okay, I'll stop," he says. I nod.

"Thank you,"

"Want to watch a movie and eat ice cream to take your mind of things," I smile widely at him.

"You're the best,"

"I try," he says, walking towards the freezer and taking out the ice cream. "Mint or cookie dough?" He holds them both up.

"Both," he nods.

"Good choice," he says, grabbing two spoons and making his way back over to me.

"What do you want to watch?" He asks.

"You can pick," he smirks at me. "No horrors."

"You said I could pick,"

"You know I don't like horrors,"

"Well, I guess you'll just have to stay next to me. I'll protect you," he jokes. "They aren't that bad,"

"Says the horror junkie," in my head, I always hoped he put them on so I'd cuddle into him, but I knew that wasn't the reason why.

He picks the film, handing me on of the tubs of ice cream he places the blanket over to the two of us and presses play.

I glance at him, then down at the ring on my finger. I couldn't go through with the wedding it wasn't right. I didn't love Harry the way I wanted to. I cared for him deeply, but that wasn't enough. i knew I had to tell him, and I would but I guess it has to wait till tomorrow.
