Doom At Your Service: A Haylor AU

Chapter 13: Let's Stop

"Tell me what I was supposed to believe

Held me so close I could hardly breathe

And now I can't find how to let you go

You were mine but you've grown so cold."

Taylor's POV

After the sweet bliss I felt after this man kissed me, it suddenly turned into trepidation as soon as he pulled away.

His face gazed at me with eyes trembling and brows slightly furrowed, making me feel like I think I did something to make him uncomfortable. "What is it?" I asked him.

He took a step backward, stepping away from me slowly.

And right in front of me his body vanished into thin air, leaving me by myself standing in the cold pouring rain.

I looked around everywhere to my left, to my right and no one was there. Instantly, the thought came to mind that he might have teleported back to our place. With black leather high-heeled boots, I sprinted until I made it back.

I ran up the stairs, hoping he was there to explain what had happened back there. Opening the door, I expected that my home would be the typical half my apartment and half his house and was about to go talk to him.

But he wasn't there either.

And it wasn't half his house. All that's here is my same apartment. Instead of my house expanding to Harry's big interior, it was just a white wall.

Knowing that this isn't a dream, my knees gave in on the hardwood floor. My damp hair dripped rain droplets as I gently placed my hand on the wall, imagining it was Harry's living room where he used to just read and barely flip a page.

My fear of him leaving me eventually turned into reality.

And realizing he was my only salvation to live on, hurt me in some deep manner that I can't explain. Like a void grew in my heart, feeling helpless

Why does it suddenly feel so lonely without him?

The Next Day

"Miss Swift? Mis Swiiiift...Miss Swift!"

Hailee smacked me in the shoulder, catching me who was in a daze. "What? Yes?"

"Mr. DiCaprio is asking for you."

I stood up automatically, but then again I thought Mr. DiCaprio was in Bali or something. "What? Mr. DiCaprio who? Who is it?" I became clueless, not getting any news of his return.

"Who else is a DiCaprio? The CEO, duh. Oh, yeah you weren't in the office earlier, right? He came to work when you were out. Is it because he's been away? He looks like a different guy."

After hearing her last few words, I bolted immediately to his office. I bet it was Harry just disguising as him.

Rushing while I opened the door I called out to Harry who had his chair faced backwards. "Hey!" My voice was out of breath from the immediate run.

Turning around to face me was definitely NOT Harry.

It was really our CEO.

Oh my.
