Esme

********

Should I give up

Or should I just keep chasing pavements?

********

When I got back to the dinner table I sat down next to Patrick again anticipating what he would do next, I was very worried but I know he would never make a scene in front of everyone, he would wait until we got home

I knew I couldn't go home with him so I had to come up with another plan, when the food was served I saw Harry come out of the bathroom and he sat down in his seat, he brought his eyes up to mine and I couldn't tell the emotion I was looking at

while I ate I thought of plan, I would just spend the night at Embers again and tell him that I needed to be in the studio early and I don't wanna wake him, about an hour later it was time to head out and Patrick stood from his chair with me

"let's go home Esme" he snarls in his angry tone and I look down, Harry noticing our interaction, "I actually am going to sleep at Ember's I need to be up early to get to the studio and I don't want to wake you up accidentally" I stutter out and he looks at me with his fierce eyes, "your going home with me" he growls out and I step back slightly, I see Harry look at the space between us and he tries to be noticeable

"I'm not going home tonight Patrick I'll see you tomorrow" I say out of energy and I turn around knowing he won't do anything since everyone is still here, I say goodbye to Matthew and he doesn't answer so I shake my head and I walk out of the house

I dial Ember but as my phone rings I feel a tap on my shoulder and I scream turning around to the tall man with green eyes in front of me, Harry

"shush" he tells me covering my mouth, my eyes widen when he looks down at me, Jesus he looks pretty right here

"Harry you scared the shit out of me" I whisper and he smiles, "you sound cute when you swear" he smiles and I laugh a little still in shock

"come with me" he whispers and I walk down the steps of the house with him by my side, "where?" I ask him and he shrugs, "it's a surprise" he smiles and I shake my head, "Harry its late I should be getting to Embers" I shrug and I try to open my car door but he shuts it, "live a little Goldie" he smiles and I hear the nickname he's given me, "I'm gonna regret this" I smile and he shoots his hand up in a yes motion, I laugh and I start my car, "tell me the directions to Patrick doesn't suspect a thing when my cars still in the driveway" I say to him and he types them in my phone, when I get it back it's a thirty minute drive, I put my phone on the dashboard and I close my door

"I'll meet you there then" I say and he nods shutting his door closed driving away and I follow behind him
