Obsessed

Chapter 28

It's been a long time since I've had to comfort Harmony. Usually she's tough as bones. Even now, she's trying to hold back her sniffles. It's not working very well.

"I thought he loved me." She sobs into my shirt.

"He's not worth your love." Bridgette says next to me.

"I can't believe I ever trusted him."

"It's ok Harmony. Everything's alright now." I say.

"Not until I get revenge."

"I can help with that." Sierra says by the door. "Can I come in?"

"Ok." Harmony says. "Go on, what's your plan?"

"Depends what kind of revenge you like most. Embarrassment is my favourite kind. But I also don't mind subtle torture."

"Sierra!" I exclaim.

"What? Nothing hurts more than bashing up his car... maybe we could message his parents."

"That would ruin him for sure." Harmony laughs with a grin. She wipes the tears from her face and sits up. I can see Sierra and Harmony bonding instantly.

"Listen guys, I'm totally for you plotting revenge and all... but-"

"But what? You have to witness his total annihilation."

"I'm sorry but I can't. I need to speak with Kyle."

"Can't that wait?" Harmony pleads.

"C'mon Kris, we need your help!" Sierra begs.

"Bridgette can help. Surely you don't need four people?"

"Why do you need to talk to Kyle so bad?" Sierra sighs.

"We... had a fight."

"You two? You guys never fight." Bridgette says.

"That was until Friday."

"Ok, if you want to leave, fine." Harmony huffs.

"Thanks guys." I head out the door, finally feeling like I know what to say to Kyle.

"Wait." Bridgette rushes up to me. "I need to talk to you."

We stand by the front door, only about four feet from Harmony's bedroom. "What's wrong?"

"It's about me."

"Yeah?"

"My dad's booked the plane tickets."

"Wh-what?"

"And I want to go with him."

"Why?"

"I want to meet the rest of my family."

"Your family is here."

"Not my dad's side. I've already been enrolled in the university, and they have all the courses I want to do. I'm excited, Kristen! Aren't you happy for me?"

"I... of course I am. I just thought you wanted to stay here?"

"This will always be my home. But now... I think I'm ready to travel and explore a bit."

"You're ready to abandon everything you have here?"

"I'm not abandoning you Kristen. I know you think that's what I'm doing." She says.

"No... I understand. Sorta. You want to get on with your life, your future. Unfortunately I'm not part of that."

"Don't take it personally. I love you, and I love everyone here. My mum's here. I just want to start fresh."
