Chapter 13: Friends At Last
What he didn't know is that Klaus heard every word Harry and Violet said. Klaus sat up with tear streaks on his cheeks. Klaus felt extremely sorry for him and sympatric towards Harry. He seemed to have a rough life and fate was cruel towards him just likethem. Klaus sat up with tear streaks on his cheeks. After a few minutes of taking in Harry's story, Klaus wiped his eyes and turned towards Harry.
"Harry," whispered Klaus in a cautious voice as he watched Harry, who was leaning back heavily in thought. Harry opened his eyes and turned slowly in Klaus direction. Harry didn't seem a bit surprised or shocked.
" Well, Klaus that you don't need to spy around any more." said Harry in a soft tired like tone as he gave Klaus a small grin. Klaus looked down at the floor in shame and embarrassment.
Klaus could hear tapping on the floor of shoes, and then silence followed by a thud. Suddenly, he felt a hand under his chin forcing him to look up. He resisted, but the other person possessed more strength than him. He let the hand brings his eyes up to make eye contact. When he met Harry's emerald green eyes within the depths of them shined gentle forgiveness and friendship.
"Klaus, you have nothing to feel a shame about. Forgiven and forgotten." said Harry gently with a soft, gentle smile as he continued. "When I return to the house, when we made eye contact I saw friendship and a kind and caring manner in your eyes. When I saw that I had forgiven and forgotten and now, I wish to take that offer of friendship up and start over."
Klaus found himself unable to take his eyes off harry because of his dumbfounded state. Harry has forgiven …me. He wants to be friends. I want to be friends, too. But……want about my spying and distrust. I……don't know if we can be friends. Klaus thought sadly.
He said 'forgiven and forgotten'. said a small voice.
He did, but want if I mess up again. I'd feel too guilt and shameful to talk or see Harry again. Klaus argued with the voice in his head.
Then don't. Beside you get to start over. The small voice pointed out.
Maybe, your right. Maybe we can be friends. Yes. Klaus thought as his view came into focus. Klaus realized that he didn't feel the hand on his chin or see Harry in front of him.
Harry stood in front of the door with his ear against the cold wood. He could hear the sound of feet walking towards them and voices whispering to each other. He lifted his head off the door.
"There coming." whispered Harry as he took a few steps back. Violet picked Sunny gently and walked over to Harry. Klaus jumped up and came to Harry's side in moments.
