The Bad Boy

Chapter 95

Harry's P.O.V

        Steph sent in an application to a college in NEW F****** YORK! Without telling me. The way she acted I don't know if she was even planning on telling me. I have to find out more about this. If I were Steph and I wanted to hide something, where would I keep it....?

        "Laptop!" My lightbulb flicks on. I open the memory foam case she keeps it in, and pull out her laptop.

        The opening screen is blue, with a picture of the beach in a small square. Underneath the square is a skinny rectangle with a blinking cursor. F******* shit.

        I try some obvious passwords like her name, my name and then I start to enter her birthday but I can't remember it. I don't even know Steph's birthday. How f***** up is our relationship? Then it hits me.

        I enter "StephanieStyles" and it works. I go into her email account and search through her junkmail about butt exercises and winning a 'free' car until I find something that looks official.  I open it up. it's her acceptance letter to NYU. It talks about her meal plan, her dorm room, her class schedule, and the date that is suggested for her arrival. it's in......3 DAYS!?!?!

        I can't believe she hasn't told me about this? Who does she think she is?

        I slam her laptop closed and storm out of the bedroom. I heard the door close and haven't heard her mom since then so I know she's not still here, I just hope Stephanie is still here so I can yell at her. I look around and poke my head into the kitchen. She's not in there either. I poke my head into Niall's room. She and Ally are lying together on Niall's bed, their foreheads touching.. Don't ask me how Steph ended up there, I wouldn't touch that bed for a couple million bucks. I decide to leave her alone for right now because I'm so mad that I can't handle both of them. The next time she's not with Ally......

I go into my room and take a shower. I have to do something to distract myself from Steph or I'm going to blow up. I get out once the water starts to run cold and then it occurs to me that I haven't heard a word from Niall or Ash since Steph's mom got here. I text and ask him where they're at. he says they're at the McDonalds down the street. I tell him to give me half an hour before coming back and he just says okay. I throw on some clothes without really looking at them. Not like it really matters, all of my wardrobe is black anyways. I throw open the door to the bedroom and see Ally and Steph sitting on the couch with a gallon tub of chocolate ice cream in between them. They each have a serving spoon in their hands, their attention turned to the TV screen where I see Ryan Gosling standing in a boat. Some shitty chick flick.

"Steph can I talk to you?" I ask through gritted teeth.

"Not the time right now Harry." Ally says, giving me a look. Steph has her jaw clenched but she hasn't turned her attention from the TV screen.

"I'm making it the time Ally so either I suggest you get the f*** out of my apartment or tell Steph whatever you got to tell her to get her to talk to me." I tell her, mustering as much acid in my tone as possible.

She glares at me. "You're such a dick." But she throws her legs off the couch and walks to the door. She slams it so hard behind her I think she shook some plaster from the ceiling.

I grab the remote and turn the TV off. Steph still won't look at me.

"You're going to have to look at me at some point Steph." I say. "Or maybe you won't since you're leaving in TWO F****** DAYS TO GO TO NEW YORK!"

"How do you know that?" She asks.

"I went on your laptop." I decide to be honest.

"How it has a password?" She asks, looking down into her lap.

"Yeah, Stephanie Styles it does." I smirk at her.

Her cheeks flush bright red. "That's an invasion of privacy! I could have you taken to jail!"

"I don't think it would do any good seing as you've been sleeping in the same bed with the person you're prosecuting." I say.

"What do you want me to say Harry?" Steph asks. "I was waiting for the right moment to tell you. But with Ashley here there never was a right time!"

"So what you were just going to leave?" I ask. "Just disappear out of thin air with no explanation?"

"I. Was. Going. To. Tell. You." She huffs. "You know I wouldn't do that to you."

"Do I Stephanie? Because I would have liked a little more than a two days notice! Which is what I'm getting now and I still don't know if you were going to tell me today anyways."

"What would you have done with more than a two days notice?" Shee asks, standing up and facing me. "It's not like you would have packed up and left with me. You don't want more than a girlfriend anyways so it's not like it really matter."

"What are you talking about? Don't turn this around on me!"

"Admit it, you wouldn't have moved there with me! ALly wouldn't even move there with me, not that I would want her to because I don't want her to leave Niall because THEY COULD ACTUALLY GO SOMEWHERE!" She says.

"How do you know I wouldn't have moved there with you?" I wouldn't have.

"You wouldn't have." She's right. Not like I'm going to tell her that. "If Ally wanted Niall to move somewhere, he would do it in a heartbeat."

"You want a relatioship like Niall and Ally's? I'm down for that let's f*** right now." I raise my eyebrow at her.

"NOT LIKE THAT!" She says "I want a relationship that's going to go somewhere. Iw ant to be a mom, I want to have kids and a HUSBAND!"

"Yeah, well I hate kids and I don't want that." I'm getting mad now. She's turned this on me now.

"I KNOW HARRY! I know that you hate wanting a good life!" She yells. "Maybe that's because you're so f***** up on the inside!" She blurts.
