Chapter 196
Easton
“I'm not going anywhere, Easton,’ Harper says in tears.
“Tell me what's going on right now.” Ilook down at Blake, disgust pouring through my body.
The urge is so strong to demolish his face that I have to look away before I do it.
"Do you see that box on the ground?” I nod with my head since I'm now holding Blake with both hands.
"Look inside it.” Harper and Sadie leave the doorway to come closer, beth girls peering inside the box.
“Spray paint?"
Sadie says in shock.
Harper wipes the tears that are dripping down her cheeks.
"And cheerleader paint.” She then looks at Blake and it's that moment that I finally see the guilt in his eyes.
The realization of how fucking badly he hurt my girl.
“It was ... you?” She's not accusing him.
Because she still doesn't believe it.
She's asking him.
I dare this motherfucker to lie to her.
I dare him to make up some bullshit excuses, like he did when we found the spray paint in his car.
“Harper...” he starts, his voice then fading out.
"No."
She shakes her head.
“It can't be you.
It was Aisha, she's the one who hates me, she's the one who wants to take me down.” She wraps her arms around her stomach.
“You're my friend, Blake ... you've been there for me. You've picked me up when I was falling apart.” She swallows, the tears coming down even faster.
“You wouldn't do this tome.
Blake is breathing so hard, but he's silent, saying absolutely nothing as he stares at her.
"Tell her, I growl, squeezing his neck even harder.
“Tell her the fucking truth.” It takes several seconds before he responds.
But when the motherfucker finally opens his mouth, the only thing that comes out is, "I'm sorry.
I'm so fucking sorry, Harper.” "No!"
Harper shouts, her hands going to her face, and then into her hair.
“No!” She collapses on top of his bed, leaning between her legs, her cries filling the air.
“I can't believe you would do this to me.” Sadie is next to her, comforting her.
"I've trusted you, she wails.
“I've always stood up for you.” When she finally looks up, rivers of tears are streaming down her cheeks.
"Why? Why would you hurt me that way?” “Fuck,” Blake replies and turns his head away from Harper.
His response only fuels my anger.
I know if I don't stand up and walk away, I'm going to hurt him to the point where he's not even able to respond.
“You piece of shit” I roar and I get to my feet, clenching my fists together, pacing his large bedroom.
"What the fuck are we going to do with him?"
I ask Ryan.
"We trusted this motherfucker and all he’s done is lie and betray us.” “lL can't believe it wasn't Aisha,’ I hear Harper sob in the background.

The readers' comments on the novel: You’re Mine by Penny Brooks
Where’s chapter 138?...
Thank you for this book. I connected very much with Harper, although my happily ever after was years after high school and not someone I went to school with. I cried for Harpers pain, and the bullying she went through. (I went through that too) I cried for just how much Easton loved and tried to protect Harper..... heck I even wanted to jump into the pages to knock out Blake and Aisha.... (sad thing those people really do exist). I felt pride for Harper when she stood up for herself against Aisha. This book made me feel so many feelings. Thank you, and I'm so glad the happily ever after I was praying for from the start happened to that sweet, quiet, awkward, girl. Just thank you....
