Verbatim [h.s]

Twelve

I am fuming. To say the least. Audrey kept asking me what the hell happened as we waited for the uber, of course just my luck the uber took longer than normal to arrive. But it finally did and I slammed the door shut, the driver gave me a scowl so I just smiled softly to apologise.

"Zuri tell me what the hell happened?" Aud hisses at me, now she's clearly infuriated with me.

"I'll tell you when we're back. I'm too mad to talk right now." With that, I sit back in my seat, looking out the window with my arms crossed against my chest. I am well and truly having a tantrum like a child. But I have every right to. Who the hell does Harry think he is? The cheek of it. Well, it's his loss. I feel like an absolute fool thinking things could be casual or even more. Why didn't I just stay away? I'm at least glad I didn't let it get far enough to fall in love with the man, he well and truly would've broken my heart.

Sunday evening roads are quiet and so we make it back in a matter of time, and we don't talk all the way up to our apartment but as soon as I walk in and hear Aud slam the door shut behind me I let a loud scream. Well more like a shout of ahhhh then spin on my heel to face her, I was breathing heavy. I needed to either hit something, scream or cry. I didn't know which one yet.

"What the hell happened? I have never seen you like this." Aud looks concerned. Truth is, I don't think I've ever felt like this before. Never this angry.

"He fucking called things off."

"What? Harry? I think I'm missing something." Oh shit. I didn't tell her about last night.

"Fuck, Aud I forget to tell you," I whine, throwing my head backwards and pinching the top of my nose. "Harry and I had sex." I blurt out, looking back down but still upwards towards her, her jaw is well and truly on the floor.

"Sorry what? When? Why? Tell me everything." She jumps up and down giddily, smiling so bright. For a moment I forget about what just happened when the memories flood my brain. This should've been a happy moment for us, I knew she'd be so proud of me but now it's tainted by his whole leave and don't ever come back spiel.

"We had sex. Last night. Because I wanted to. I sent him a picture in my underwear then he came round and literally fucked the life out of me." I answer all of her questions.

"You're joking me, Zuri. This is incredible." She grabs my hands still jumping up and down but then stops and looks back down at me with furrowed brows. "What?"

"Did you just miss the bit where I said he called things off?"

"Oh fuck." Yeah. "What the fuck? What did he say?"

"He said some shit about his world being too dangerous and he doesn't want me around him or Verbatim."

"So he fucks you and chucks you?"

"Thanks, Aud." Rolling my eyes, I storm off towards my room I hear her following me but I spin on my heel once in my room, holding my door slowly shutting it. "I need some time to... I don't even know, I just need some space." She looks hesitant like she doesn't want to leave me but she nods and walks to her own room.

Closing my door, I instantly jog into the bathroom slamming the door a bit too harshly but instantly my back finds the door and I fall onto the floor. Pulling my knees to my chest, I wail into my legs crying so hard and making some very concerning noises like growls.

I'm so mad at myself for getting involved with him. Why did I do that? Why did I think he was different? The whole beach thing, why would he take there and say those things for him to just throw it all away? I feel stupid because we barely know one another, we've known each other for a few weeks, that's it. And I'm acting as if we've been in a 3-year relationship. But I can't deny the way in which Harry makes me feel. There is a reason I've never been with anyone since that first time and Harry made me forget. I trusted him and I've had it thrown in my face.
