OK, so you have permission to slap me for not updating, and I have a few excuses, the first being I'm a lazy bum, and it has been the 'summer' holidays, so I have spent it watching my One Tree Hill box sets, and the quotation marks are just to express that summer in England isn't actually summer, it's more of a lukewarm rainy season, so, I've just been to the cinema and stuff, and have any off you seen The Proposal, I've now seen it twice, and another reason is I finally got my 16th Birthday Present which is an iPhone!! Woooooo. But O2 screwed up my contract, so it took a few weeks to sort, but anyway, enjoy and review, because I don't know when you're going to get the next chapter, maybe the end of the month, as then I go back to school for my A-Levels.... HELP!

P.S this chapter is rated M because of violence, and I'm not sure of the real rating, but it's a bit dark. So, yeah... I'm gonna stop rambling now.

Chapter 11 – The REAL Truth

Mikayla's POV

"Harri, you wanted to talk to me," I said, poking my head around her front door, to see two suitcases on the doorstep, "Harri"?

I see Harri sitting at the kitchen table, her head in her hands, I take in her figure, wearing a pair of skinny jeans, a pair of Nike high tops in black green and white, and a baseball shirt, white with three quarter sleeves in black, there was a picture of Fall Out Boy on the front, and she had a green and grey addidas hoodie around her waist , I approached her, and as I sat next to her she jumped, "Sorry," I laughed, noticing her expression I stopped, it was so serious, her normally vibrant blue eyes were almost black, and something about this scared me, I mean, sure she had a reputation, but what had she done that had caused her to be like this?

"You came" she stated bluntly,

"Of course I did Harri, but what are the suitcases for, your scaring me, what's going on"?

"You know I told you about my past, that time on the beach" I nodded, "well, I wasn't entirely truthful,"

"Harri," I said, taking her hand, she pulled away from me and stood up, walking around to kneel next to me,

"Mikayla, just know, I love you, I do, and I never wanted it to happen I didn't, but I didn't really have another choice, I'm sorry" she cried, the tears building up,

"Harri, what have you done, your scaring me" I said, getting really scared by her reaction,

"It was me, Mikayla, you know I said that I was arrested for murder, but it wasn't me, I lied, I did it I killed her, it wasn't my choice, I was in deep Mikayla, I was over my head, I wed the dealer more money than I knew, and he asked me for a few favours for free drugs, but then he was asking me to do things other than what we had, um, agreed on," she gulped,

"You were sleeping with him for drugs" I stated, tears pouring down my face as I found out the truth about my girlfriend,

"I didn't have a choice" she replied as she got up of the floor in front of me and moved to sit opposite me, I nodded waiting for her to go on, "Then they asked me to go and shake this girls cage, as she owed them money, and I agreed as it was relieving my debt, at first it was notes on her windscreen, and then it was following her home, you know, innocent stuff, stealing her things, but then she hadn't been able to come up with the money. So I was told to, well, and I didn't want to, but they injected me, and I wasn't aware of myself, but I went to the club where she worked at. I slept with her that night, her and her best friend, although, my girlfriend wasn't too pleased when she found out," she smirked, almost as though she was enjoying this.

"Dallas" I stated, remembering what Dallas had told me,

"Yeah, she found out and hit the roof, she left me, but then the affair between me and this girl Toni, carried on for another two weeks, I had to get closer to her, I had to make her trust me, but what do you know, I fell for her in the mean time. I tried to cut my end of the deal, and I was gonna tell her everything, but they had said they would come after me, and if I didn't do it, they would, and they would do it slowly and painfully, so I didn't have a choice, I loved her too much to suffer,"

"You could have just run away" I said,

"No" she laughed, "you can't just run from these people, they find you, and then they twist everything, so you don't know what's up and what's down, so you can't even remember who you are, so no, I was a coward, I lured her away from work, and told her I was taking a shortcut across the old junkyard back to my flat, we were laughing, I was holding her hand, and for a minute we was a normal couple, but then she stopped and pulled me into a corner and pushed me up against a pile of old tyres. I flipped her around, and whilst kissing her, I pulled the gun out of my back pocket, and flicked the safety off, and aimed it at her head. She heard and pulled away from me, and then she saw the gun. She started crying, and she fell to her knees in front of me, pleading with me not to do it, told me she loved me, and at that moment, I thought, just for a second, that I could, that we could go. But then I realised, I did, and it would never stop, we would just be running, and she wasn't that sort of person. We would be caught, and then punished in the worst possible way, because you don't know what these people are capable off Mikayla." She paused, wiping her eye, "so I closed off everything, the sound of her voice, the rain that was now pouring around us, and the love I felt for her. And I smiled at her, calmly, and like a mad person, I just smiled, and lowered the gun at her, taking a step back, I pulled the trigger as the bullet found its way into her skull"

I stood up and backed away, this wasn't my Harri, my Harri was sweet, my Harri was kind hearted, my Harri didn't kill people, she just looked up from the spot on the table and I saw the tears, and I saw the pain, and the anger, and the fear. That was when I realised, my Harri had never existed, she had been hiding who she really was, hiding behind a lie.

"You lied to me Harri" I cried, watching as she nodded, and then she stood up, and cautiously made her way over to me, and as she stopped in front of me, she smiled, and for a second, I saw the Harri I had loved, that I did love, and in that instant I remembered the Harri she was to me, and I leaned up and kissed her, passion uniting us, and I never wanted it to end, "We could run Harri, nobody else would know what had happened that night," I cried, cupping her face,

"Oh Mikayla, that's not possible, because right now the police are on their way here," she grinned lightly,

"You told them," I cried,

"No, I left a note for Jo, telling her the truth, the guilt Harri, the guilt, it spreads throughout you, eating at your insides until you can't take it any longer. Jo loved Toni, and Toni loved Jo, and I stole that from them, and I stole you from Mitchie as well"

What, I stepped away from Harri, trying to comprehend what she had just said, Mitchie loved me? Did I love her?

"You can't come with me Mikayla, no matter how much I want you to, because you have a life here, you have people who love you, and I cant take it from you," she cried, her hands coming up to cup my face gently,

"But I love you" I sobbed,

"You think you do, but Mikayla, I see the way you look at Mitchie, and I've seen the way she looks at you, and I love you so much I want you to be happy, I'm in the way of everything. But don't you dare think that I don't care about you Mikayla, because I do,"

"But everything we've shared," I started, but Harri cut me off,

"Was based in a lie I had spun Mikayla, everything I had said, was to cover up my past, and no relationship can be built on a lie," she was being cruel to be kind, I saw it in her eyes, the regret appeared as soon as she had said that sentence, and in that instant I knew it was over, and then I heard the sirens...

Harri leapt back, and grabbed her backpack, leaving the suitcases, she kissed me, "I could have spent my life with you" she smiled, before leaping out of the door,

"WAIT" I shouted, as I saw the police pull up, "Get in the closet, I'll cover for you"

"Mikayla,"?

"Just do it," I said as I noticed the little sign on the elevator doors show that it was coming up, she smiled and then ran into the spare bedroom. I sat at the table, getting ready for the police to come in, I forced some tears, and then as the door opened I put my plan into action,

"Where's Harri" a man in a suit demanded, as he entered the apartment, the uniformed officers behind him, guns ready to shoot,

"She's gone," I cried watching as the guy signalled to the other officers to lower their weapons, "I loved her, and she's gone, she didn't even say goodbye, I only got here a few minutes ago, the guy downstairs said she had taken a cab a few minutes beforehand," I started the tears again, and the man in the suit came up to me,

"What's your name"? He asked me, softening at the sight of me crying,

"Mikayla Gomez," I replied, knowing that my fame would come into play here,

"Oh My God, I'm so sorry, for a minute there I was doubting you, but come on, let's get you out of here" seriously, how stupid was this guy? I nodded and allowed him to lead me out, looking back quickly, and then seeing Harri out of the corner of my eye I got into the elevator and allowed the detective to take me home.

Upon arriving home, Dallas and Mitchie jumped at me with questions, "Where's Harri"? What's going on, did Harri really murder someone? It's all over the news, are you OK? And at that moment I broke down, and I fell onto Mitchie,

"She left me Mitch, she's left me"

Dallas and Mitchie exchanged a look that said one thing. Sod Harri Fucking Taylor. Before turning their attentions back to the crying 17 year old in front of them.

Ok, so that was chapter 11, I hope you enjoyed it, and I think the next chapter shall be the last one, and then I MAY write a sequel if reviews demand it, *Hint Hint* but anyway, the real Harri Taylor came into play in this chapter, so, please review if you want to know what happens next, or not... it's up to you, and thank you to everyone who has reviewed this story so far

P.S – My brother broke the Wii halfway through writing this, so if halfway through it sort of makes no sense for a sentence or two, it's because my muse got interrupted as I had to go help him fix it.
