---Erin's POV----
I sat on my bed with my legs crossed. I was playing with my fingers while I waited for Harry to swing by. I'm not even sure if I should be hanging out with him, but I want to hear his explanation. It was almost lunch time so he should be picking me up around now. Maybe he changed his mind and he's not going to pick me up. Luckily I didn't dress u to fancy, I just put on a shirt and some leggings, so at least I don't have to change into something more comfortable.
I stood up and went the bathroom I share with Isabel. I pulled out a book by Dr Karl, which I had already read and went back to my bed.
"So you're not getting the 'D'?" Isabel sighed.
"It's complicated." I mumbled opening the book. It's not that I didn't want to tell her what's happening, it's just that I don't like to tell my secrets to people or tell them what's on my mind.
"You can tell me." She said getting under her blanket. Winter was coming and the floor us slaves sleep and live on isn't properly air conditioned to keep us warm during the winter.
"I know." I said. She sighed at me, she knew that she wasn't going to get it out of me until my bottle explodes or it starts to get really bad.
I just finished learning about black matter when I heard a knock on the door.
"He's here." Isabel sung. I lazily got up and answered the door.
"Hey." Harry said softly. He held up a brown paper bag in one hand and two bottles of cold water in his other hand. He was wearing a tight white t-shirt that showed of his tattoos and muscles along with a pair of skinny jeans.
"Sorry I was late I decided to get us lunch first." He smiled at me but I didn't return it.
"You ready to go." He asked. I nodded my head and closed the door behind me. I started walking to the library and I could hear Harry's heavy footsteps behind me. When we finally got to the library there were about 5 other people there, not for visiting. It looked like they didn't have a room so they stayed here.
I made my way to the back were nobody ever went and took a seat on one of the couches. Harry followed and sat right next to me. I didn't say anything as he took out the sandwiches and put them on the paper bag he brought them in. He opened the bottles of water and handed one to me. I took a little sip and put the lid back on it. He gave me one of the sandwich half's and took one for himself.
I brought cold sandwich to my lips and took a small bite out of it. If I took a bite any bigger it could get stuck on the lump that had been in my throat since yesterday. After feeling the food painfully move around the lump I quickly learnt that the size of the bite didn't matter. I looked up at Harry waiting for him to say something. After he swallowed his food he finally spoke breaking the awkward silence but not loosening any of the tension in the room.
"I'm sorry." I looked up at him as he spoke.
"What I said yesterday wasn't true." I turned my head to the side to show that I was confused, I really didn't feel like talking today.
"I'm not just using you." He looked into my eyes and I felt my eyes get watery. Just because he says that doesn't make it true.
"But you said-"I argue but was quickly cut off.
"I know what I said and I didn't mean it like that, when I met you it was by coincidence, and then we started hanging out and that's when I found out about the whole Liam thing. I told Louis and we wanted to find out if it was true or not. I figured that this whole time you were playing with me and Liam set all this up for fun, because you were friends on the outside or something." I stared into his eyes, his eyes are as watery as mine but I don't know if I truly believe him. It can't just be a coincidence that I overheard Liam and Niall talking about this and now Harry and Louis too.
---Harry's POV----
I looked into her eyes. They were teary, wide and grey.
"Please say something." I begged. Instead she rested her head against my chest. She closed her eyes and nuzzled into me. The first thing I noticed about her when I opened the door was how grey her eyes were, I knew that that meant she was tired but I still don't know how much sleep she got.
"Did you get any sleep last night?" I asked. She shook her head at me and reached her hand out for a sandwich. I played with her hair as she chewed. I'm not sure if she bought it or not but I knew it would take some convincing her.
The rest of the day went by like this. A few times I tried to start up a conversation every now and again but she would only respond by shaking or nodding her head. After sitting around and eating all the food I had brought she decided that she wanted to go back to her room. I was a bit upset that Erin wanted to leave so soon but with everything that's happened lately with me and her I understand.
I walked her back to her room, I held her hand but she didn't hold mine back, maybe after some time she might forgive me. When we made it to her room she tried to go in without saying a word but I stopped her.
I took a step closer to her and put my hands on her face. "I am trying to fix this, trust me. I haven't given up on getting you your old job back, I will fix everything I fucked up, including us, understand?" I asked her. She had teary eyes and she looked like she needed a hug, but I knew she didn't want one from me.
"Thank you, Harry." She gave me a warm smile. I felt relief wash over me. I look down at her. Caught up in the moment, I slowly move my head down to hers. I was slow and gentle when leaning in, I didn't want to rush it. Right before my lips came into contact with hers she moved her head to the side, letting me kiss her cheek. It only lasted a mille second because she quickly pushed me away.
"By." She stepped inside and slammed the door in my face. 'Way to fucking soon' I thought to myself on the way back to my room. I really need to talk to Liam about her job but I don't know what it'll take to convince him.
