Loving My Boyfriend's Best Friend Chapter 22

"Ouch..." I groan in pain, as he hugged me tightly.

"Oh...sorry, Ely. That good for nothing won't get away with this. I promise you that."

"Mr judge calm down. I'm alright. You don't need to do anything. It's all my fault." I say. My dad can be over protective at times. On top of that, he's a lawyer.

"Oh, Ely. You're sure you didn't hit your head or something?" He chuckles.

"Dad, I didn't?" I try thinking if I actually did. Maybe but it doesn't have anything to do with this.

"Ely, you're still the same." He caresses my cheek.

"Dad....."

"Tell me, how are things going on with you and Shawn?"

"Is he here?" I asked.

"No but Harry and Anna are both outside. Anything wrong?"

"No, I just want to talk to Harry."

"Okay, that's not a problem. I will give you guys some space." He stands up, leaving the room.

"Harry, she's awake and she wants to see you." He delivers her message before going to see the doctor.

Harry and Anna stood up quickly in excitement.

"Alone." Elena's dad made that clear to Anna.

"Okay." She sat down back.

Harry opens the door. He's worried look swept off as he saw Elena had really recovered.

"Harry, we need to talk."

Harry's pov

"El, what's wrong?" I asked because I was confused. She sounded serious. I sat beside her, planting a kiss on her forehead but I could see the pain in her eyes. Something was bothering her.

"Harry, we can't do this anymore." She cried uncontrollably.

"We can't do what? El, what are you saying?"

"Harry, it's over. We can do this anymore." I lower my head, feeling bad but I had no choice this has to be done.

"What did you say?"

If someone ever told me Elena was going to reject me I wouldn't believe it and I still wouldn't.

"Harry, please. It's what's best." She says, trying to calm me down but it wasn't helping. She only made it worse.

"No! Fuck best! Elena I love you. We love each other. Tell me it's a joke. You don't mean it. Please..." He squeezes my hands tightly in his.

"Harry...it's over. We can't do this anymore. Let's go back to being friends."

"Friends?" I lower my head, laughing weirdly.

"Elena, you're mine." I say authoritatively. There was no way I was giving up on her.

"Is everything okay? I thought I heard loud voices." My dad came in looking worried.

Harry releases my hands, lowering his head. Was he crying? Cause I was sure I heard sniffles.

"No, nothing's wrong dad." I say, assuring him.

"You're sure?" He doubts.

"Yes."

"I'm leaving." Harry stood up, not looking at me. He was still angry. How can I just make him understand.

"Harry, where are you going?" I ask.

"Why do you care?" He spoke rudely, still not turning back to look at me. He slams the door loudly in anger, enough to burst my ear drums.

"What was that about?" My dad says looking puzzled.

"It's nothing dad."

"Something smells fishy. Ely is there something I need to know?" My dad stares into my eyes deeply, trying to make me speak.

"Uh..what are you doing dad? Nothing's going on between Harry and I?"

"Hmm...i never said something was going on. That means something is going on and I think..."

The door distracted us as it opened, revealing my mom.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, surprised.

"Social media does it all." She chuckles, but her expression changes into shock as she saw the person next to me.

"Hey, Jade." My dad speaks but I feel like someone wasn't welcomed in here.

"Hey, Malcom. You showed up." She takes a deep breathe, trying to hide the fact that she was nervous.

"Yes, for my daughter."

"I think this room can accept two more patients." I stood up from the bed carefully.

"You're leaving?" My mom asks me, giving me a sign to not leave.

"Yes, I'm alright but you guys are not. If there's an emergency, dial my number straight away." I giggled silently, leaving the room for them.

Just as I shut the door, I bump into someone I never thought would show up, Shawn.

"Hey..." Shawn says, feeling guilty.

"Hey." I walk further, avoiding eye contact.

"Elena, I know apologizing might be bull shit to you..."

"Absolutely." I cut him off.

He looked startled but continues.

"I was angry at the moment and I wasn't thinking."

I nod my head to every word he spoke.

"Why her, Shawn? If it was another girl it wouldn't hurt me this much but it was Amelia. If you love her so much why don't you go back to the club and fuck her badly. The whole world will gladly appreciate it!" I try holding in my anger but tears fought it's way.

"Elena..." He put his hands on me but i push him away.

"Don't touch me. You already lost the right to my body. I think it's best we..."

"Please don't Elena. Don't say it! Please. I don't know what I would do without you. Please don't leave me." He begs on his knees. I feel sad and subjected to him. As much as I want to do the right thing, breaking up with Shawn might push him to ending his life and I don't want to bear that guilt. He needs me.

"Last chance. Any more mistake and we're over." I warned.

"I promise to make it up to you, Elena." He hugs me tightly. For a second, I thought I saw a girl's shadow which was fading away. Maybe I was seeing things.
