Chapter 18: Wild About Harry:
Donnie's POV:
We were all playing hackie sack when Makenna showed up.
"Makenna," says Adam, "what brings you here?"
"I got a call," says Makenna, "Crystal escaped again!"
We were all shocked, especially Piper!
. . .
Crystal was a girl Piper dated, but then she turned out to be obsessed with Piper! We had to save Piper twice.
"But I found someone who can help," says Makenna.
Then this well-built teen came. "My name is Harry and they asked me to find her!"
. . .
We were all at Makenna's house. "It would've been pretty dumb of her to come here," says Adam.
"Maybe she's hiding in Piper's house," says Charlize, but then she realizes what she said. "Sorry."
"So, why'd they ask you," asks Nathan.
"Because no one understands her like I do," says Harry.
I don't know what it is, but there was something about that line...
. . .
As we were moving, I thought I saw something. I then ran to it. I found Crystal! "Crystal, you have to go back," I said.
"It's not what yo-" Crystal then sees the others and screams and runs away. I then chased after her, but thanks to these cars, I lost her!
. . .
"She looked at us and ran," says Piper, "I wonder why."
"It's me," says Harry.
"What do you mean," asks Makenna.
"You see, Crystal and I are in love, but she's so shy, she runs at the sight of me," says Harry, "it's all my fault!" We all look at him. "What?"
"You see, Harry... Crystal's a lesbian," says Makenna.
"I know she thinks that because of her mental problems, but she loves me," says Harry.
"Excuse us," I said.
. . .
"Alright, so we all know something isn't right here, right," I asked.
"Maybe he's right about one thing," says Piper, "maybe Crystal is running from him!"
"Wait, are you telling me that my obsessed sister might have a stalker," asks Makenna, "what goes around comes around, I guess."
"I'm going to look for Crystal," I said, "Makenna, you call that hospital and the rest of you, be careful in case... this guy might be dangerous! I'm not saying he has to be... but you never know!"
. . .
I was searching the city until I finally got Crystal's scent! I then leaped to her location!
. . .
She was hiding in Kip and Biederman's house... before I left them to be stranded on an island. I then kicked the door down. "Crystal," I asked.
"Go away!"
"I just want to talk," I said, "Harry's not here!" Crystal then shows up. She looked scared.
. . .
Crystal and I were sitting on a couch. "After our last meeting..."
Crystal's POV - Flashback:
I decided to try harder to get better. I couldn't stop thinking about Piper and it was starting to scare me! They then put me in this group therapy. That's when I met Harry. We became friends... at least that's how I looked at it!
"Hey, Crystal," says Harry, "wanna see the movie with me?"
"We're all seeing it together," I said, "it's mandatory."
"I meant as my date," says Harry.
That caught me off guard! "I'm sorry," I said, "but I'm a lesbian."
"I know you think that," says Harry.
"What," I asked.
"We both know how you feel about me," says Harry.
"What ar-" He then grabs me and kisses me...
Donnie's POV - Present:
"That's why I broke out," says Crystal, "to get away from him!"
"So, Harry's obsessed with you," I asked.
"I know," says Crystal, "it's karma!"
"And I'm guessing the hospital didn't send him," I said.
"No," says Piper, showing up, "Makenna spoke with them! He broke out to find Crystal!" She then looks at Crystal. "Hey."
"Hey," says Crystal.
"Then we better do something about Harry," I said.
Piper's POV:
Donnie goes out to find Harry. He didn't want to leave me alone with Crystal, but I insisted.
"So... how have you been," asks Crystal.
"Fine," I said.
"I..."
"I think I like someone else," I said.
"Oh... that's... good," says Crystal, "who... who is she?"
"I... don't think I should tell you that," I said.
"I understand," says Crystal.
Donnie's POV:
I was still looking for Harry. I better find him and stop him!
Piper's POV:
I was looking out the window. I saw how scared Crystal was. I was scared... but she needed some comforting. I then sat next to her and put my arm on her. "It's going to be okay," I said. She then kisses me, but I pushed her off.
"Sorry," says Crystal, "I still think about you!"
"And that's why you need to stop," I said, "I'm sorry, but I get nightmares about you! I did have a crush on you at first, but that was until I got to know you!"
"I'm trying to change," says Crystal.
"But in order to change... I think you need to get over me," I said.
"She has!" We saw Harry. "You shouldn't have tried to cheat on me with your ex!"
"Harry, Crystal can never love you," I said, "she's a lesbian!"
"She's confused," says Harry, "she only thinks that way!"
"You're the one who's confused," I said.
"She told me that I make her feel comfortable," says Harry, "that I'm the only one who understands her!"
"I said the same thing to my sister," says Crystal, "back when we were close."
"Crystal, you don't have to be shy anymore," says Harry, "come with me and we can run away together!"
Crystal backs away. Harry was mad and started walking towards us... only for Donnie to knock him down. Harry was about to get up, but Donnie knocked him out.
. . .
The men from the hospital came. They had Harry restrained.
"What about Crystal," asks Makenna.
"I'm going too," says Crystal, "I need this!"
"I hope you get better," says Piper.
"If I do, introduce your new girl to me," says Crystal, "and Makenna, promise you'll visit me more often."
"I will," says Makenna.
"You see," asks Harry, "she wants to come back! She does want to be with me!"
"We'll make sure you get protection from him!"
"Thank you, Doctor," says Crystal.
And they drove off. I have a feeling Crystal's going to be okay.
In the next chapter, Anna asks Donnie out.
