Harper [pov]

Ben and I were studying after school that afternoon. It was November afternoon. It was chill outside. We were studying in the living room when someone rang the door bell. I got up from the floor and walked to the door.

When I opened the door, Justin was in front of me. I was shocked. He grabbed my hand and rushed into the living room to see Ben got up from the couch. They looked at each other like something that I couldn't understand it. It was like a war broke into a peaceful land. Justin turned to me and looked at me straight in the eyes.

"I don't like him. Why do you have to stay with him alone?" He asked in a voice between mad and sort of happy. Was he jealous?

"We are just studying!" I replied.

"Yeah, nothing is between me and her." Ben added.

"Well who ask you?" Justin smirked. I got mad and turned to Ben.

"Excused us for a moment please?" I said and pulled Justin into the music room.

"What is the matter with you Justin? Since when do you care if I be with other guy or not?" I could see that Justin eyes were dark. He was angry. He still looked at me and still listened to me.

"You didn't even like me." I endured. Justin crossed his arms and didn't do anything.

"Okay! What are you doing here anyway?" I asked and turned around facing my back on him.

"I don't have anything to talk to you about." I continued and walked away from him to the piano. Justin still didn't say anything. I turned around and his face was still normal and looked at me like nothing happen.

"I stopped loving you already." I said finally.

"You can't love any body else except me!" Justin finally spoke.

"What? why are so confidence? People can change." I said with tear swelled up in my eyes.

"They can't change quick like that." He argued.

"I can!" I bellowed as tears started to run down my cheeks.

"If you had stopped loving me, you wouldn't cry like this." Justin walked closer to me. I could feel the atmosphere was changing. I looked into his eyes. His looked different. He wiped my tears out with his thumb.

Slowly he kissed me on the lips. My eyes were wide opened like a lightning just hit the ground. I was shocked. I pulled away quickly and looked at him in confused. He pulled me to him and hugged me.

"Don't tell me that you have love other man." He said with his sweet gentle voice. I didn't know why, but I felt so happy and scared at the same time. I didn't say anymore word.

Justin found out right after he kissed Harper! My dad was just trying to test him. So that's why he didn't disappear. I tried to tell him that, but Justin didn't want me to. So I just let him find out himself. That was funny! I was surprised to see that Justin really did trying to sacrifice for Harper! I don't why...

Justin and I made up that afternoon, and everything went out to be fine after that. Finally fall almost passed. I couldn't believe time went by so quickly. The day were getting closer and time were tickling and rushing to the finishing line. I still couldn't believe it.

It was almost holiday break. I never wanted to stay home. I liked going to school, but winter break was almost over. Two more day, and winter break is here.

It surprised me that when my parents and Alex's parents came to see us right after school one day. They had their bright smiles across their faces. My mom and Mrs. Russo ran toward me and both hugged me in exciting mood. I was confused why they came to school that day. Then my father and Mr. Russo came out of the van and smiled.

"Are you guys ready to go?" My dad asked. I had no idea where we were going. My mom and the other just nodded. We all got into the van. Of course Max and Alex came, too. Alex and Max were almost sleeping in the van because of her parents talked about some topic that seem not interesting. As for Justin, he just stared out the window and sat quietly without any word. I just listened to any sound that I could hear. Finally the van stop after the ten minutes ride.

"Finally! I'm exhausted!" Alex said.

"Honey! you didn't even do anything except sitting!?" Mr. Russo said. I smiled secretly by myself when I heard that. It was funny. When we got out of the van. I found that we were in front of a house. Not a really big house nor small. It was just perfect! I got to admit that I like the house.

"So Harper? Do you like it?" Mrs. Russo asked with smiled.

"Huh?" I was still confused.

"Well let's go in and check it out!" my mom suggested. Everyone agreed with her and went in. The first thing we saw was a living room. A perfect living with black shinny sofa and red carpet. There was a small table in the middle of it with a glass and a flower sheet was under it. The living room has everything in it. The big TV screen was on the white painted wall.

"Wow! A big TV screen! I thought that I was going to invent that!" Max said.

"AHaha! Too bad it's already invented!" Alex added.

"You just wait! I'll invent something really small that can hold a lot of music in it!" max stated.

"That sound like an MP3!" Alex added again. I just grinned and walked away when my mom and Mrs. Russo walked to me.

"Wait! there are more!" they both said in a happy voice.

"Let's go up stair." My mom added. And I followed them. I glanced over to Justin who followed my dad and his dad into the room which I think kitchen.

My mom showed me the bedroom that has a king side bed and there was two dressers a big mirror. It was a pretty big bedroom. They showed me the bathroom and the guestroom and the music room with a piano that I like.

"This house is familiar to our house and Alex's house!" I said finally.

"So you like it?" Alex's mom asked.

"Yeah!" I replied. My mom and Mrs. Russo gave each other a high five.

"So this is going to be your house, when you marry to Justin." Mrs. Russo said.

"Oh..." I didn't really get it at first. "WHAT??????????"

"Uh honey... when you married, you have to live with husband alone." My mom explained. Were they serious? I stepped back and didn't know why I felt so nervous when they told me this.

After a while everyone went down stair. I stayed in the guest room standing near to the window quietly. Someone opened the door and I turned around. Justin came in.

"Hey... you okay?" He asked. I nodded. He walked to the window standing next to me. and looked out the window, too.

"I didn't know about this, too." He said. I still didn't say anything. I turned to look at him and he looked kind of sad.

"I'm sorry..." He continued.

"For what?" I asked.

"I agreed with them."

"This is far from our school. Is that mean we have to change school?"

"No... I drive." I was so pathetic. I forgot that Justin know how to drive. He even got his Driver License already. Then our conversation went dead for a moment. I can't believe that I was going to live with him alone in five more months!

"Are you afraid?" Justin suddenly asked.

"No..." I answered.

"Looked like you really are afraid."

"I am not afraid!" I said and turned around to walk to the door when Justin grabbed my hand. I turned around and he pulled me into his body and hugged me.

"Harper, I don't want you to be sad. I'll talk to dad if you don't like the house." He said in a calm voice. I didn't say that I don't like the house. I was just sad about that we have live ten minutes away from everyone else. But Justin said that made me not so afraid anymore.

"I like it. don't worry about it." I told him. "This is a beautiful neighborhood." I continued and suddenly we heard people were whispering at the door or arguing in a small voice. I looked at Justin with a smiled and walked silently to the door and opened it. Alex and Max and my parents and Alex's parents were all fell down to the floor filing up at the door.

"Wow! What are you guy doing?" I asked.

"Wo...well.. I was looking for the bathroom." Alex was the first one to answer.

"Me.. too.." Max added.

"Me three.." Mr. Russo jumped in. Everyone looked at him and they all laughed. They got up and Alex smiled at me. Once again, I thought about my fairy tale. May be my story is going to end here. But who know?

Ben [pov]

I can't believe it. The person that I love the most was going to marry to someone else. I tried really hard to be notice by her, but every time I tried, something else happened. The last time I saw Harper and Justin was before winter's break. I knew that they were perfect for each other, so I decided to leave and transfer to another school. I didn't want to become a burden to both of them. Beside, if I stayed, I would hurt myself more. Over the winter break, I went through the papers work and transferred to another school with only words of good-byes to Harper in a letter which I wrote and never sent it to her. But I wished that I was brave enough not running away from my problem. Beside Justin and I will forever be enemy that will never meet even though, we're walking on the same hallway.
