Chapter 8- Making Things Right

A few more days had passed and Harley was sitting at home staring at a blank computer screen, as she was attempting to rewrite her book yet again. She desperately wanted to see her writing get off of the ground, but so far that wasn't happening. She didn't know if she should just give up altogether or find something else to do with her writing skills. These two options were something that she didn't want to do, but when her back was against the wall, she couldn't think of anything else.

As she sat there under a cloud of doom, her thought process was interrupted by her cell phone going off. She was going to choose to ignore whomever it was seeing as it was her day off and she didn't want to deal with anyone. However when she saw "Jon My Knight" pop up on the screen, Harley's heart skipped a beat and she quickly opened it up to see what he had to say.

Hey sorry if I'm bothering you, I just wanted to know if I can call you. I miss hearing your voice.

-Jon

Harley smiled at his words, but then remembered how he left her high and dry. She knew that they needed to talk and clear the air of whatever was going on between them.

Yeah, go ahead. We need to talk anyways.

-Harley

She wasn't going to make this a casual conversation. No, she was a woman on a mission and she was going to find out why he hurt her like he did. A few moments later, her phone began to ring again and she answered already knowing who is was. "Hey, Jon."

"Hey Harley, how are you doing?" Jon asked her sounding really nervous.

Harley could sense that he was going to take his time avoiding their much-needed conversation, but she wasn't going to have that, "Cut the crap Jon, why are you calling?"

"Wow feisty, but I guess I deserve the bluntness," Jon sighed. "Look, Harley, I know that I haven't been keeping up the promise that I made to you, but I swear I had my reasons."

"Yeah like what, hurting me?"

"Harley I never…"

"No Jon I don't want to hear it because you did. You hurt me. I thought we had something special going on. I thought we had something bigger than friendship starting to happen, but I guess I was wrong. Then again we just met and now I can see that I'm stupid for ever thinking that we could be something more. Not only that, but you were probably saying all those nice things because you felt sorry for me. All I am is just some stupid bar girl that is constantly getting herself into trouble," Harley told him as tears began to fall down her face.

Jon's heart was also breaking on the other side of the phone. Here he was trying to prevent himself from hurting her when he ended up doing it anyways. That was the last thing that he wanted to do and now he felt like a complete asshole and he hated himself for making her cry. He knew that he had to make things right for both of their sakes.

"You're right Harley, you're totally right. I did break my promise to you, but only because I thought that I was stopping you from getting hurt by me. However, now I can see that I did that opposite. I ended up hurting the most beautiful, smart, loving, strong woman in the world. You are all of those things to me Harley and you are not some stupid girl. Never call yourself that again. I decided to break things off with you because you don't need a screw up like me holding me you back. You need someone who can be there for you and give you what you need. I can't be that person for you Harley and it makes me dead inside. I want desperately to be that man for you, but I can't. You deserve more than a loser of a guy like me," Jon admitted truthfully.

Harley however though wasn't buying it. From his words, she knew that he was that person for her and she was going to make him see it too. "Jon, are you even listening to yourself? Here you are talking about how you are incapable of giving me what I need when in fact you are showing me quite the opposite. You needing to separate yourself from me is showing me show much you care about me. You showed me how much of a man you are when you turned Troy down on his offer and when you came and rescued me from my car. I don't think anyone else would have done that for me and they would have used me and dumped me. You aren't like those men Jon and I can tell that you have a heart a gold deep inside of you and I want to be that special person to help you find it. But that is only if you will let me. Let's take this leap of faith together Jon. I don't want to go another day without talking or seeing you."

Jon stood there dumbfounded. Harley had found yet another way to surprise him. He did care about her and a lot in fact. He could already see how she was making his life change for the better. Ever since he left her a few weeks ago, he felt grumpy and miserable, but now that he was talking to her, he felt happy and at peace even though their conversation wasn't a happy one. Even when she first hugged him that snowy night outside of Troy's bar, he knew that she was special. Harley was the first real woman whom he felt the need to protect and take care of. Maybe she was right in saying that they needed this together because he didn't want to go another day without being with her either. She made him feel like a better person even though they really barely knew each other. None of that mattered, though, because he wanted her around and they would find out more about each other later. However, for now, Jon was willing to do as Harley said and he was ready to take this leap of faith together.

"So what do you say, Jon?" Harley asked him again.

"I say you better open your door so I can kiss you to seal the deal," Jon laughed as he patiently walked down the hallway to her door.

Harley's eyes grew wide in shock and she felt her body start to shake with excitement. "Wait, you're here?" she asked as she quickly opened her door to see her rugged handsome man standing there in front of her. "Why didn't you tell me that you here?"

Jon just smiled and pushed his way inside before placing his bags down and turning around to face her. "I wanted to see how you would react first before I did. If you still wanted nothing to do with me, I would turn around and leave forever. However since you decided to forgive me, which I think you did, here I am. Now can I get that kiss that I asked for?"

Harley nodded and gave him a huge smiled before she ran over to him and leaped into his arms. Giving her a gentle squeeze just happy to have her in his arms again, Jon looked deep into her eyes to make sure that she really was okay with this. Harley gave him another sweet smile before she leaned forward and captured her lips with his. She then wrapped her arms tighter around his neck into order to deepen the kiss. In that moment, all their doubts about everything vanished and all felt right like it was supposed to be.

Meanwhile back in Georgia, Joe was patiently waiting in the lobby for the guys to show up. Today was their day off and he wanted to go out and have some fun. Unfortunately, all he saw was Colby come downstairs. "Hey where's Jon at?" he asked Colby knowing that they were rooming together.

"He umm…isn't coming tonight. He has something important to do," Colby told him nervously.

"What's more important than going out and having fun with your boys? I swear if it has to with Harley again, I'm going to beat his ass!" he was tired of Jon's mopey and grumpy attitude. It was like his whole dynamic was changing since he met the small woman. Joe knew that she was starting to play with Jon's mind and that wasn't a good thing. "Give me your room key Colbs. I'm gonna go talk him into coming out with us. He needs to get his mind off of Harley."

Again, Colby got nervous and said, "I umm…I can't do that."

"And why not?"

"Because Jon's not here. He's in Albuquerque trying to make things right with Harley."

Well is anyone else happy that Jon finally got some balls to get up and talk to Harley? I guess that conversation that he had with Joe and Colby really bothered him. Also, Joe seems a little angry at his brother. I thought that he would want the best for Jon. Please let me know what you guys thought about the chapter, thanks!

As always, I wanted to say thanks to AmbroseAsylum060214 for all the help with his story.
