Harry's POV
I walked towards the noise slowly. The creaking continued. As I entered Angela's room I realized the noise was coming from right next to me.
On the other side of the room in the apartment next door. My face contorted into disgust as I heard grunts and squeaking of a bed next door. And to think that used to be me. I rolled my eyes as I started blasting "Let's talk about Sex" by SALT N' PEPA on the speakers, just loud enough so the next door neighbors could hear. I smirked as the noises stopped.

Angela's POV

I walked out of the apartment with a huge grin on my face. Finally Harry officially asked me out. If he didn't do it sooner or later I would've asked him out myself, or at least suggested it. Hopping into my crappy Honda Civic, I drove to the bowling alley. What? We were like, bowling champions! Or Liam was at least. I had almost zero coordination. Liam called me over the minute I walked into the building. He already had my shoes and ball. He was such a sweetheart.
"Hey Angie!" Liam said sweetly as he kissed my cheek. I smiled at him as I laced up my bowling shoes.
"So are you ready to feel the Payne?" Liam teased. He prided himself on being an "undefeated bowling star". I just shook my head and started the game.

Well.

He won.

Again.

Liam looped his arm around my neck as we exited the bowling alley. I giggled nervously at his gesture. I don't think he noticed how uncomfortable I was.
"Here I'll ride with you back. I'll come pick my car up later" Liam suggested. I just nodded in agreement. We drove in comfortable silence, letting the music on the radio (the script) fill the car. As I pulled into the lot designated to my apartment building, Liam pulled me in for a tight hug and kisses my cheek. My cheeks heated furiously as I waved and went inside the building. I looked back in time to see Liam grinning. It wasn't a kind grin though. I don't know why it bothered me. A light shiver went down my back as I ran my hand through my hair. Before I could even unlock my door, the door swung open to a rather distressed and angry Harry Styles.
"What was that?" Harry half growled half yelled. He tugged me into the apartment and closed the door quietly. Before I could ask what he meant he pulled me to him and kissed me quickly before his anger returned to his face. That boy needs to be medicated.
"You, Liam, me, explain fvcking now" he said shortly. I could practically see the steam coming out of his ears.
"Harry, why can't you just freaking trust me!!! My God. It's like I can't do anything anymore because of your damn insecurities!" The minute I said it I regretted it. I watched Harry's eyes grow cold and shielded.
Harry knocked over a stack of books from the table in his anger. He was pacing/ stomping around my apartment like a madman.
"You know what Angela? All I've done is try to help you. In the process I fell in love and I've been scared of that whole goddamn concept my entire life. Your the exception Angela and don't make me freaking regret it!" Harry fumed.
I walked up to him and tried to bring my hand up to his cheek but he pulled back. Trying to hide my hurt I sat on the bed and held my arms out, waiting for him.

Harry's POV
She sat on the bed with her arms outspread.
"No" I said angrily
"Please Harry. Come here." She pouted, looking at me expectantly.
I rolled my eyes at my lack of self control. I couldn't resist her for very long. I sat next to her on the bed and laid my head on her lap as she stroked my curls. I wrapped my arms around her waist and we just stayed silent for a while. I felt my anger slowly seeping away, leaving me with nothing but raw hurt and sadness. I wouldn't let her see it though. No. I should be stronger. Damn me and my feelings.
"It hurts" I mumbled into clothes.
"I'm sorry baby." Angela threaded her fingers into my hair. She was about to say something when her face paled and she looked like she was about to scream.
"H-harry" she stuttered. She glanced at the window. Clearly trying to silently point my view in the direction. I slowly turned my head around in her lap. To anyone else it would look like she was simply consoling me. I briefly looked out the window and my heart skipped a beat.
Liam was standing there with his hands shoved in his pockets and a maniacal grin on face. He had a crazed look in his eyes. They were bloodshot and.... Well..... Scary. He was only a few feet from our window.
And just like that, I went into guarded mode. I'd go to hell before I let somebody hurt Angela. She may have hurt me but I'd be damned if I didn't still love her.

Angela bent down and buried her face in my hair as she muttered something into my ears.
"What should we do, Harry? He's just kinda standing there....." Angela said uncertainly. I slowly got up from my original position and whispered into her ear.

"Alright lets slowly go to the kitchen. It doesn't have any windows and we can check if he's following us." I breathed. She slowly nodded and clasped our hands together tightly. I slapped a grin on my face as did she as we walked to the middle of the apartment where the kitchen was. All I could do was thank whoever designed this place. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Liam's face slowly drop the evil grin that once took over his face. I could only look at him for a second but his eyes soon lost all their poison and his face grew tired. I engulfed Angela's body with my own. Simply trying to shield her from his view and she gladly sunk into my chest as we slowly entered the kitchen.

We both slouched into the corner of the kitchen hugging eachother desperately.

"Why Liam? He was my best friend next to Louis. Why him Harry? Firsst Louis dies, and now Liam turns out to be some physchotic freak?!" I wiped away a few tears on her flushed cheeks.

"Shh baby. I don't know what is going on but we have to stay brave ok?" I kissed the top of her head as her shaking arms wrapped around my torso.

The doorbell rang.

I checked the peaking hole in the door

and there stood Liam

Standing all innocent with his hands in his pockets and a patient (and kind) face.

Damnit
