Departure?

The guy loaded their bags into the back of the car and closed the boot before turning round to look at her, resting back on the boot. He could see the fear in her eyes. He could see that she didn't really want to leave but it was all he knew. He held out his arms, a silent request for her to move into them so he could comfort her.


She did so.

He kissed the top of her head, his hand rubbing up and down her back. "I promise to look after you." He whispered holding her close, knowing that he never wanted to let her go. She really was everything to him now.
"I know and I feel so lucky to have you." Harrison smiled at her comment as he knew that she shouldn't feel that way at all. He sighed as he kissed the top of her head again. This caused her to move away and look up at him. "What's wrong?"
"You deserve so much..."

Hayley silenced him by taking hold of his lips, her hands cupping his cheeks as she pulled away, her head shaking. "Don't ever think that. It's you who deserves better." She whispered before smiling. "Let's go."

The car started and Hayley stared out the window, her jaw clenched at the idea that she was leaving. Anger raced through her and she knew it needed to end. All of it.

"Stop."
