A Thousand Miles Away

Chapter 21

***Emma's P.O.V.***

After my little talk with Liam, he went to talk to Harry. I was anxious for him to come back. I know I was still mad at Harry, but I didn't want him to get hurt. About 15 minutes had passed, and he came back looking angry, well looking like he was trying to hide his anger.

"Did you talk to him?" it was a stupid question I know, but I was trying to make conversation.

"Yeah it went okay at first. He really wants you to talk to him" I sighed.

"I'll try, but not yet" I said, he nodded.

"Well we have a rehearsal meeting today to record our solos, and I just talked to the girls they said they'd go shopping, and you are welcome to go with them" I thought about it for a moment.

"I just want to stay here. I'm to depressed to go shopping" I layed down on his bed, and watched his sad expression.

"Okay well I can see if one of the boys can stay with you" I mumbled an 'okay', and he walked out. This was going to be fun.

***Liam's P.O.V.***

I got out of my room leaving Emma alone. I felt bad for her. I would stay but I have to record my solos for the new song. I met the boys in the living room.

"Hey, Emma needs someone to stay with her. Who has already recording their parts?" I asked.

"I have. I would stay with her but Natalie, and I are going out for lunch. Sorry mate" Niall spoke up.

"Zayn?" I looked at him.

"I haven't finished recording yet sorry" I looked at Louis, and he shook his head as well as I. My only choice left was Harry. Let's see how bad this can go. I looked at Harry but before I could say anything he spoke up.

"I'll stay with her" Zayn gave him a glare, and looked at me.

"Don't hurt her anymore than you already have" I said, and we were out the door. What am I doing?

********************************************************************************************************************

***Harry's P.O.V.***

Before the boys left Zayn gave me a deathly glare. I have no clue what I was thinking when I volunteered to stay with her. Maybe she'll talk to me, but I'll give her space until she wants to come out.

I waited in the living for what seemed like forever. Just sitting in this lonely room waiting.

***Emma'sP.O.V.***

After a while of waiting in Liam's room I got hungry, so I went to the kitchen, and searched for food. Nothing.

I went towards the corner cabinet and looked in the box of granola bars where I hid food for me when something like this happens. I took out a package of easy Mac and cheese and prepared it before putting it in the microwave for 3 and a half minutes.

Now we wait. I got bored and decided to walk in a circle around the kitchen even though the room was a rectangular shape.

*ding ding ding*

I hopped up startled, and finished making my Mac and cheese. I set it on the table, next to my fork letting it cool. I heard footsteps of someone walking into the kitchen. I payed no mind to whoever it was, and picked up my fork. I started stabbing the Mac and cheese with my fork as I heard his voice.

"Where on earth did you find food in this house?" Harry asked as if everything was alright between us.

"I have a secret stash of food so I don't starve to death" I spat. He,looked taken back, but I dare not look into his eyes.

"Why are you eating that with fork?" He asked after the silence had taken over.

"I like challenges" I paused.

"Why are you even here?" I asked.

"Liam suggested I stay with you since the lads had to finish recording their parts" he explained. I replied by continuing to stab my food.

"Are you angry?" He said innocently. This made me more angry. No idiot I'm the happiest I have ever been, I mean that's the reason I'm stabbing my food. But I didn't say that I sat quietly, avoiding eye contact.

"Look at me" he commanded, but in a sweet voice. I looked everywhere but at him.

"You know what fine" he said and started to walk away.

"I'm sorry" he said stopping in his tracks.

"Sorry that what? That you didn't say anything, oh wait that's not a crime. How about breaking my heart? Or causing me to cry for so long that I ran out of tears? Oh no I've got a good one. How about waisting months of my time by leading me on? You know I actually started falling for you, but I should've known you would hurt me. I thought you were different, but in reality you're just like the rest of them" I paused taking all of what had just spilled out of my mouth in.

"Maybe I deserve it" I whispered, but I knew he heard me.

"You don't" was all he said. Those two words held so much emotion I wanted to cry. I wanted to break my promise and cry, and run to Harry and make everything better. He started to walk away again.

"Please don't go" I said fearful that I would never have him back. But I really shouldn't give in this easily.

"I don't want to hurt you" he said walking out the front door. I sat there with my now cold food, and tears spilling down my face. I didn't want him to hurt, because it hurt when I made him upset.

I don't know how long I sat there. I was staring into space letting the tears fall. You're weak, and pathetic I told myelf. I knew it was very true. I didn't pay any attention to my surroundings, but I knew Harry hadn't come back, and knowing him he wouldn't be back until he was calm.

I thought about the boys. They've been out for awhile, maybe 4-5 hours.

Another hour had passed. Still no Harry.

Liam finally walked throughly the door followed by the others including the girls. He turned the corner into the kitchen, and saw me. I noticed him come in, but I hadn't really 'seen' him. My eyes no longer saw anything, but I knew it was there.

"Emma what's wrong? Why are you crying? Where's Harry? Did he hurt you?" He shot questions at me and I sat there motionless. I shook my head and shrugged.

"Come with me" he pulled me up, and I let him drag me back to his room.

"Please Emma talk to me. Say something anything. Please" he begged. I stared blankly at the ground, watching my tears make a small puddle on his wood flooring.

"I swear Emma if he hurt you, I will kill him" I gulped.

"He didn't hurt me. I hurt him" I managed to muster out those few words.

"What happened?" I started to cry even more thinking about everything. He stopped asking questions, and pulled me into a hug. I pushed him immediately after I felt safe.

"I don't deserve your sympathy" I barely spoke.

"I don't know what to say" he said staring at me shocked.

"Help Harry I hurt him, and I don't like the way I feel when he's upset" I choked out. My voice started getting horse, and I didn't know what to do. Liam handed me a glass of water from his bedside. I drank it but all it did was help me breath again. I wish I could stop breathing. I want to sleep forever, because when you're asleep reality disappears.
