I wake up before my alarm clock, that's if I slept at all last night. My insomnia got worse after what Serena told me and I didn't even sleep for a few hours. This is ridiculous. She is married. So many questions stay unanswered in my head. 'Why wasn't she wearing a wedding ring?' 'Where is her husband?' 'Why was she crying last night?' I place my head between my hands and huff in annoyance because of my inner voice continuously talking. How can I feel so hurt by someone? I try to push all my thoughts to the back of my head and I get up to get dressed.

After the usual routine, I take my keys and go out. When I lock the door, I hear the one next to me open and Serena coming out. She stops walking and she turns her head to look at me. Her bloodshot eyes are digging holes on me. My heart clenches when I see the look in her eyes. My hand almost reaches for her face, but I stop myself before I do anything stupid. I can't destroy a family, a hope, a married couple. That would be horrible.

I look in another direction and dash out of the building. The appalling weather looks even more dreadful today somehow. I take the route to the school that I would be teaching from now on and I disappear in the densely populated city.

...

My feet lead me to my sofa after my first day at school. I sit down and let my tears pour out of my eyes. My sobs cut my throat just like a lightning breaks the sky in two. That's how I feel, like a storm is happening in my soul and in the end all it will leave is disaster and pieces of my crumbled heart.

My door bursts open and Serena comes in with an undefined expression. sadness, worry, anger all in once. "How did you get in?" I ask her in a cold voice and I hide my face in my palms so she won't see how much it affected me.

"The door was unlocked." She says and looks in the ground. "Harry, I want us to talk."

"Talk then." My cold tone makes her flinch and she comes to sit next to me.

"Harry, look at me." She whimpers and I almost break.

"No. Now talk."

She takes a deep breath fiddles with her fingers. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I'm very sorry. I just... I wanted to be careless for once. You make me feel so happy and you don't even know it. I'm sorry I kept it from you but it's complicated."

"What is complicated Serena? Telling me that you're married? You know I have feelings for you and you didn't stop me."

"I know." She sobs, and I regret raising my gaze to look at her. Her hair is a mess. She looks exhausted, her eyes are redder than the rose pedals and I internally scream because I can do nothing about it. "I know, I know. I have no explanation, I'm so sorry."

"Why aren't you wearing your wedding ring? Why isn't your husband here? Why were you crying last night? Tell me!" I shake her shoulders and her eyes fill with tears once again. The skin of my hands is burning with the contact. She has become my necessity already and we're not even together. And I guess we'll never be. "Will you tell me?"

"My-my husband travels a lot because of work. That's what he tells me at least. I lost my wedding ring one day when we were fighting and he threw it out of the window." She looks at me embarrassed.

"He threw it out of the window? And he leaves you alone for so long?" I shake my head. "That bastard." I whisper through my teeth. "And why were you crying last night?"

"Harry, I-I can't-"

"Tell me, Serena."

"I-I'm afraid I'm falling for you. And I shouldn't because I'm married, but I don't think that I love Jeremy any more. I'm so scare-"

"What?" I ask in disbelief and look at her with wide eyes. I don't know if I heard correctly but I can feel my heart almost beating out of my chest.

"I'm falling for you, Harry. And I'm sure about it."
