Bruised. (A Harry Styles Love Story)

Chapter 28

Jacey's POV

I looked around the room avoiding Lexie's gaze as much as possible.

Sometimes I wonder why I have such a big mouth. My stomach churned and I felt as if i had betrayed her. 
"Oh, Jacey.." Lexie said, embracing me in a tight hug. Her bracelets clanking against each other as she wrapped her arms around me. 
I blinked hugging my best friend back tightly. 

"I'm so glad you told me...but I'm also kind of upset that you didn't. The good thing is you told me and I'm so happy you did. I didn't know you were going through all that shit with your dad...what an ass.." Lexie pulled back frowning. I felt pretty good. I just told her my deepest and darkest sercret and she didn't judge me. This is why I love her. She's always there for me no matter what.  I shrugged, sitting on the couch comfortably. "Thanks for understanding...plus...it's okay now. He's in jail and I don't have to deal with him.." I fiddled with my fingers thinking about how much it hurt to talk about the whole thing. To be honest, even though my dad tried to kill me and abuse me. I still love him, he's my dad. But hey, call me crazy huh?  The room went silent and Lexie moved up off the couch and gave a sigh. "Well, I could really go for some tea right now. Would you like any?" She asked walking over to the small

kitchen. Biting my lip I shook my head, "No thank you."  

Lexie said, "Alright." and started to make her self some tea. 

Suddenly I missed Harry, but knowing his schedule. He's pretty busy and doesn't have time for me. Which I understand but I just wish he wasn't famous. We would be able to see each other a lot more. Instead of him working.

Don't get me wrong. I'm proud of him. He loves what he does and so do the boys. It makes them happy but I guess I'll have to deal with it.

And hopefully the boys are home soon.

I heavily sighed and looked at the clock near the flat screen TV. It read eight thirty-six. By the time I stopped glancing at the clock about ten times. I decided to watch some TV. Maybe something good is on..

Sadly there wasn't as I flipped through channel and channel.

"This sucks..." I mumbled to myself.  

I then turned off the TV and sat upside down at the couch. Admiring the completely white and boring ceiling.

"Someones bored." Lexie laughed from the kitchen. 

"Pretty much." I laughed a little. 

"I can text the boys and ask-"

Suddenly mumbling was heard from the other side of the walls. I sat up correctly and before I knew it the boys were all infront of me. They looked pretty exhausted if you ask me. I didn't really noticed I was being stared at till Niall spoke up.

"Hey we're twins now!" Niall laughed as he looked at me.

I gave him a confused look.  Harry laughed and spoke, "Your hair darling...it's blonde." 

Oh...right....

"Oh. Yeah..I got it done today. Wanted to try something different." I spoke staring into space but then averted my eyes to Harry. 

"No kidding...but hey it really suits you!" Zayn smiled. 

"Oh my god.  How are we going to tell whos who between Niall and Jacey!" Louis said throwing his hands up in the air.

His little funny freakout bought him a laugh. "Oh hush." I laughed. 

Louis gave a friendly wink, "Well lads...and...mini Niall...I'm hittin' the sheets. Goodnight!" He said as he disappeared into his hotel room. 

Zayn, Liam and Niall agreed that bed was a good idea and soon they were gone as well.

Harry, Lexie and I were alone in the room. Lexie was too occupied with a book that she held in her hands. She sipped some tea and pretended that

Harry and  I weren't in the room.

I didn't notice that Harry moved from the front door to the couch till it sank down slightly. 

"Miss me?" Harry smirked. 

Blushing, I looked at him.

"Maybe." I bit my lip. 

Harry picked me up and sat me down on his lap. On his way of picking me up he found my tickle spot on accident, causing me to giggle.

"Ooooh, Miss Jacey is ticklish..." Harry said in my ear.

"Pfft...I'm not...it...just...hurt.." I said trying to lie. But I knew I was toast because  suddenly Harry started to tickle my stomach. I jerked around as my laughs filled the room. 

"Ha-rry ssssss-stop!" I laughed as if I was being tickled to death.

"What's the magic word?" Harry teased. 

"I d-d-on't knowwww! Just stop it hurts to laugh!" I said.

"What does Liam make everyone say?" Harry said continuing to tickle me.

"P-please stop!" I blurted out laughing. 

Harry quickly stopped tickling me and I sat up correctly trying to gain my breath back. 

"Please stop wasn't the answer...that just sounds...wrong... me likey." Harry winked.

I would of laughed at that but I just couldn't bear to laugh anymore.

"You're such a pervert." I said playfully punching him on the arm. 

Harry nodded and shrugged. "Not going to deny that..."

Suddenly yawning I looked over at Harry. "When are we leaving?" I asked.

Harry picked me up bridal style and walked into my room.

"Tomorrow morning. Also get changed I want you to sleep with me tonight. I missed you." Harry frowned. I smiled as he set me down. Then he left the room allowing me privacy. I then changed into my Pj's and headed to the bathroom to wash up. 

After that I carefully walked out to the kitchen area to see Lexie still there, very interested in her book. 

I shook my head smiling. "Goodnight Lexie." 

Lexie gave a goodnight without looking at me and I shuffled my way into Harry's room.

The lamp near him was still on as Harry lightly snored already sound asleep. 

He's so cute. 

Carefully and quietly I turned off the light and then crawled into bed beside him. I got under the covers and laid down closing my eyes. The bed moved slightly and arms wrapped around me, pulling me close Harry whispered, "Goodnight beautiful." He said hoarsely.

"Goodnight.." I mumbled quietly before I fell into a deep, happy, dreamless sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up happy and feeling refreshed. Last nights sleep was totally needed. Sleeping in Harry's arms was a bonus. I loved it.

I looked around me and noticed we were moving.

I was in a car. 

"Well goodmorning mini Niall. We're on our way to the airport. You slept in." Louis said eating a muffin.

I looked around to see everyone wide awake. 

"Morning Jacey.." Harry said. A smile suddenly came apon my face. 

"Morning." I yawned and gave a small stretch. 

"Oh and stop calling me that muffin man." I smirked at Louis. 

Louis rolled his eyes and turned back forward. 

"Where are we going?" I asked.

Harry raised an eyebrow. "The airport...remember?" He said.

I shook my head, "No...I mean where are you guys touring next?"

Harry gave me an "Ooooh I knew that" look and spoke,

"We're going to Washington."

I nodded and looked ahead. "Oh..."

I looked at who was driving. It was Eleanor.

Liam was up in the front with her, sipping on some pop.

Suddenly Liam dropped it.

"Awwh dammit Liam! This car is a rental!" Eleanor complained. 

"Gahh! I'm sorry! Oh god. Sorry!" Liam panicked picking it up.

Suddenly my eyes widened as Eleanor drifted off to the other side of the highway.

"ELEANOR LOOK OUT!!"
