Bella's pov

I washed Harold's bandana and was at present drying it with my hairdryer.
I felt like a crazy doing so.
First I washed a blood stained cloth and was now drying it to.
I don't know what sense in me made me do so..

When it was dried up , it looked perfectly clean and certainly not like it was covered with blood all over.

I threw it on my bed and sunk in the sheets , gazing at the ceiling.

Beep
My phone vibrated.

Lazily I picked it up looking for the message I received.

Bella?

Woah it was Harold texting me.
That was unforeseen.
I did the only thing that came to my mind.

(Bold & Italic is Bella and Bold is Susan)

Susan !!!!!!!!!

Susan...

Susan come online this instant .

Calm down lady .

Harold texted me Susan .Right now. What should I do?

What do you think you should do?

I seriously don't know my heart is palpitating right now. I have no idea how to respond.

What am I supposed to tell you?

What do you mean by that . You were the one who asked me to tell you if he ever contacted me.

Urgh!! Alright what did he text?

Just "Bella?"

So what are you asking me in this talk to him normally.

Meet me and I'm gonna dump your body right under the ground you would stand.

Will wait for that ;) . Okay, bye. Tada.

I decided to text Harold.

Say something! I'm waiting.

I thought you didn't want to talk.

We aren't talking we're texting so its no problem.

You know very well, what I mean. I thought you don't want to hear from me anytime soon.

What made you think that?

Probably because of my behaviour the other day.

I smiled slightly, knowing that he realized his behaviour wasn't normal and also that he expected me to not talk to him because of that.

Hmm. You may be right but better you texted me to explain.

Its close to the reason why I texted you..

I waited for him to complete.

Actually I am on a tour right now.

Back to your job?

Yeah, could say that.

How does that define your 'weird behaviour' ?

It actually doesn't it was probably because I didn't get to tell you and now I'm on tour so...

..so you won't be able to tell me anytime soon since you wanted to tell me in person?

You got it right.

Harold stop feeling that ways as I said earlier, it wasn't meant to be..
You know maybe its better I'm left untold, atleast for now, for some reason unknown to us?

I texted that due to the urge inside me to calm him down.
He took a good time before replying back.

:)

That's it this was his reply and for some reason, it was enough for me to know that everything is fine.

So about your tour. Where are you up for?

Its a short tour at Perth.

Perth? As in Australia?

Yeah in Australia.

Thats..thats a huge 9000 mile of a distance!

Quite good approximation I see..

Its more than 15 hrs of flight .

Were you a topper in maths or in geography?

Oh Shutup I've been there. I know.

Yes you told me.

But you're telling me this now !
You're already there?

Yeah

When did you reach?

Saturday night 11 pm

That means it was all decided, he had planned it all before he met me at Friday. He knew he would be gone the next day. He met me the day before going but didn't even bother to tell me.
I know I'm being so dumb to even think that he should have told me when he certainly doesn't need to tell me.

Bella?

Bella are you there?

Yes

Umm- sorry I didn't tell you before.

Nah its alright.You didn't have to tell me anyways.

I wrote that out of anger and tapped the send button out of utter stupidity , now there was no going back.

Believe me I wanted to tell you but couldn't bring myself to do so. I'm sorry.

Urgh....my emotions.

No its absolutely alright you don't need to apologise for nothing.

Ahh. I wanted to ask , how is your hand now.

It was a mere injury, its fine now.

'Mere injury' ? I would say it was your stupidity and concern for that lil boy that got you that 'mere injury'.

And that eventually got me not knowing about your 'Queer lil secret'

Nice name though. Good,now I will to refer to it as my 'Queer lil secret'.

How long is the tour?

One month.

What!? I didn't have anything to say in response, I was downcasted.
One month!?
However I decided not to show my unhappiness to his long stay and put on a show , I replied.

Hmm I see.

Hmm.

I couldn't find anything else to talk about neither could I bring myself out of the mini shock I just got , therefore I decided not to say anything further.
Maybe the case was same with him because he to didn't text anything else. _________________________________________
