The next afternoon Amanda and Jessica sat in Jessica's room watching TV and eating popcorn. Amanda was laying on the bed with her head in Jessica's lap trying to figure out how to right some of the wrongs going on. Sighing she tugged on Jessica's shirt and shifted.
"Jess, why is it whenever things are going good something comes along and fucks it up?"asked Amanda.
"Well you do put yourself in these situations,"sighed Jessica.
"No I don't,"said Amanda.
"You did fall in love with the wrong person,"said Jessica. Amanda sat up and looked at Jessica with creased brows.
"No, no, no, not like that,"explained Jessica,"You fell in love with your teacher, it's not like Harry himself is a wrong person, him as the teacher was the wrong person."
"Well it's not like I went looking for it,"said Amanda biting her lip seeing slowly that Jessica may be making sense.
"I'm not saying you were, but you honestly can't be all that surprised someone found out. You played a risky game, you got caught,"said Jessica,"I'm not sayin' it's your fault but you can't be all like whoa is me, I'm not being mean just honest."
"I guess,"muttered Amanda,"Ya know it seems so simple to clear everything up. Just leave Harry."
"Are you serious?"asked Jessica.
"No,"said Amanda shaking her head,"It's just that seems like the obvious answer."
"Look if it were me I'd do what I want, you wanna be with Harry then go for it, you be with him and if no one else likes it then fuck em' cause if you go doing the easy thing to make all the bad shit go away then you'll sit around all your damn life thinking about how things would've turned out if you had gone the other way,"said Jessica,"And who knows maybe Harry is your soulmate, maybe you two were meant to meet and have all shit cause it'll make you stronger."
"How cliche,"said Amanda smirking.
"No, think of it as a test, if you two can survive this and you like really love each other,"said Jessica.
"I know I love him,"said Amanda.
"Okay, then think of it as a test for him,"said Jessica.
"He loves me,"exclaimed Amanda,"The man gave up his career for me, anyways where he hell is this going?"
"C'mon tell me you haven't doubted his intentions,"said Jessica.
"What?"asked Amanda like her friend was crazy,"Look we don't need to be having this conversation because I love Harry and he loves me and I'm not leaving him."
"Not even once?"asked Jessica raising her eyebrow.
"Okay when that slut Ronnie kissed him but I didn't know the whole story,"said Amanda,"And Marty said he was all dumpy until I talked to him."
"Then fine,"huffed Jessica.
"Well it's like I'm doubting him and I'm not,"said Amanda.
"I'm not saying you should,"said Jessica,"It's like a test to see how strong things are, like if god forbide it, you got pregnant, would he stay with you."
"Okay we're not even getting into that,"said Amanda,"Cause I am not getting pregnant."
"Fine, then do it just for the fact that you love him and this burden is worth it,"said Jessica.
"I never said I wasn't going to do it,"said Amanda. Jessica rolled her eyes and sighed.
"You are nuts, I'm going to the bathroom when I come back switch on the normal,"said Jessica climbing off the bed. Amanda blew Jessica off and popped a couple of kernnels into her mouth, it wasn't that she was doubting staying with Harry it was just she didn't want to deal with everything. 'Oh well least I'll him tonight,' thought Amanda as she shifted and laid down on the bed to watch TV.
******
Amanda stood in the elevator going up the floor to Harry's apartment. She had decided she was going to spend a night at Harry's then go home, if her father hadn't calmed down by then and realized she was going to be with Harry then she was just going to have to accept that and move on. It wasn't something she wanted to do, but it was coming down to something she had to do. As the elevator came to a stop she stepped out and walked down the hall. Looking up to Harry's door she came to a stop as she seen a recognizable blonde standing knocking at the door. Amanda stood there silently as she watched the door open and Harry come into view, 'oh he better not even think about inviting her in' thought Amanda as she cross her arms. Harry had his greetings with Ronnie and from what Amanda could see he wasn't happy to see her. Amanda coughed clearing her throat and getting the attention of the two at the door, Harry looked over at her as Ronnie turned to see her as well. Cocking her eyebrow Amanda turned and walked back to the elevator, she wasn't mad at Harry but she wanted to make her point to Ronnie and she just hoped Harry had the brains to do the right thing. As she approached the elevator she hit the button and stood there waiting for it with her arms crossed.
She refused to look over at the two as she waited, she stood there waiting for the elevator with her eyes glued to the door. She could hear foot steps coming towards her and as the elevator doors opened, as she went to step in she felt someone grab her arm and gentily pull her back into the hall way. Turning she seen Harry standing next to her.
"Where are you going?"asked Harry softly.
"You have company,"said Amanda looking over at Ronnie who was now scowling at the two with her arms crossed.
"Don't mind her, I'll get rid of her. Come in please?"asked Harry almost pleading. Smiling Amanda nodded and let Harry take her hand and lead her back to the apartment, as they walked past Ronnie Amanda looked over her shoulder and stuck her tongue out at Ronnie, she knew it was immature of her but she couldn't help it, Ronnie had gotten her just desserts. Harry ushered her into the apartment and waited at the door with Ronnie. Once Amanda was in the apartment Ronnie spoke up.
"So this is your decision?"asked Ronnie almost accusingly.
"Yeah Ronnie I believe that made it very clear the other day,"said Harry,"Not that it's any of your business."
"None of my business?"hissed Ronnie,"Harry, you and me, we." Harry cut Ronnie off before she could say anything else.
"You and me? We ended a long time ago,"said Harry.
"Oh really and what was that in December?"asked Ronnie.
"A mistake,"said Harry. Ronnie stood back, he had finally gotten through, she was rejected, Amanda had won.
"Fine Harry but when you get tired of the little bitch don't come crawling back to me,"said Ronnie. Harry immediately closed the door, he wanted her out of his face and to get back to Amanda. He turned after closing the door and seen Amanda standing there with a shit eatting grin on her face. Immediately she walked over to him and pressed her lips to his, wrapping her arms around his neck holding him close. Harry was surprised as he kissed her back, expecting her to be mad and demand some answers as to why Ronnie was there. As they parted Harry looked down at her confused as he had his arms around her waist.
"Aren't you mad?"asked Harry.
"No, why?"asked Amanda.
"You were leaving,"said Harry.
"I wasn't mad, I was just making a point to Ms.Cook,"said Amanda,"And I think we've made our point very clear."
"We certainly have,"said Harry kissing her again.
*******
That night both Harry and Amanda laid in bed. Amanda had been deadly quiet since they had gotten into bed, she was thinking about her conversation with Jessica, not in a negative way but realizing for the first time that this relationship was real. It was a little overwhelming when she thought about it, Harry had rejected Ronnie for her, lost his job and come through for her.
Sighing she rolled over and looked at Harry, he was watching her with some intent.
"Are you okay?"asked Harry. Amanda nodded smiling slightly.
"You've been quiet,"said Harry.
"I've been thinking,"said Amanda.
"About what?"asked Harry.
"Jessie and I had a weird conversation today,"said Amanda,"Do you think everything was worth it?"
"What?"asked Harry.
"You and me, in the last two days we've lost alot, do you think it was worth it?"asked Amanda.
"If I didn't I wouldn't have gone this far,"said Harry,"And you're here so I think it was worth it. Why, what did you and Jessica talk about today?"
"I was questioning if everyone's shit was worth it,"said Amanda,"And she kinda made me realize something."
"Something bad?"asked Harry.
"Not really, but she said I should expect stuff like this because I put myself in these situations,"said Amanda,"Like you and me, I should've expected people to find out and freak out."
"Don't worry about it,"said Harry.
"I don't,"said Amanda kissing him lightly.
"Do you think it was worth it?"asked Harry.
"I got you didn't I?"asked Amanda smiling.
"Hey I got you something,"said Harry. Amanda watched as Harry climbed out of bed and left the room, she laid on her stomach and watched the door waiting for him. She pushed her hair behind her as she waited, she watched as he walked back into the room and handed her a long white envelope like folder. Amanda took it and creased her brows.
"What's this?"asked Amanda.
"Read it,"said Harry flicking on the lamp on the nightable as he sat down on the bed next to her. Amanda sat up and opened the folder, it was filled with small pink and yellow papers. She found her name on the first one, reading on she looked up at Harry with large eyes.
"You just lost your job, you can't afford this,"exclaimed Amanda.
"I have family money laying around,"said Harry,"They're refundable if you don't want to go."
"No it's just, god I didn't even expect this,"said Amanda,"Oh my god we're going to Spain." Amanda threw her arms around Harry hugging him, she pressed her lips to him kissing him.
"When did you get these?"asked Amanda as they parted.
"Today,"said Harry,"I thought about it last night, and it might be good to spend the summer in Spain."
"I seriously can't believe this,"said Amanda,"When do we leave?"
"Thursday,"said Harry.
"That's crazy, in four days I'm going to Spain,"said Amanda,"I can't believe you did this."
"So you're happy?"asked Harry.
"Incredibly,"cried Amanda,"But you so didn't have to do this."
"Yeah but we'll have a good time,"said Harry. Amanda leaned over and kissed him again, she wrapped her arm around him and dropped the ticket on the nightstand. Not breaking the kiss she climbed over and straddled his lap. Harry held her hips gentily as she sat closely to him grinding softly into him. As they softly parted Amanda smiled seductively at him.
"I love you,"she whispered softly.
"I love you too,"said Harry. Amanda smiled and pressed her lips to his, all the doubts and ideas she had been pondering over all day where gone. Being in his arms was worth it and if everyone in her life rejected her for it then she was fine.
