"What are you doing here?" Harry's voice shook.
"I was walking to my cabin." I pursed my lips and shifted my weight to one side of my body.
"Oh." Was all Harry said.
"I heard you and Zayn talking." I confronted Harry. I wasn't going to pretend I didn't. I wanted to know what the hell he was talking about. What was he hiding from me?!
"You did?" Harry choked on his words.
"Mhm." I began to grow annoyed.
"Let me explain--"
"Oh yeah, you for sure will be. What are you hiding from me?" I interrupt Harry.
"Ariel, calm down. I'm going to explain everything." He used his hands to calm me down even though it only made me madder.
"Go on." I tapped my foot impatiently on the gravel beneath our feet.
"Let's sit down." Harry grabbed onto my hand but I flinched it back.
"I can walk on my own. I'm not two." I said rudely. I didn't want to be rude with Harry, but if he's hiding something from me, it's hard not to.
"Okay." Harry moved his hands away from me and walked beside me to a small bench.
We sat down and Harry opened his mouth to speak.
"You know how I told you about seeing my mom in England after spring break?" Harry asked, staring into my eyes.
"Yeah." I answered remembering our talk we had at the stream.
"Well some stuff happened before I came to camp, and well, it's kinda coming back." He scratched the back of his neck.
"What is it?" I asked curiously. Harry acted weird when he mentioned his mom earlier but now I just wanted to know the truth.
"My mom. She's coming to town." He shook his head.
"Yeah? So?" I shook my head.
"You just don't understand." Harry scoffed.
"Obviously I don't." I spoke back. "You haven't told me anything!"
"My ex girlfriend is coming here with my mom." Harry got off from the bench and stormed away from me, back to his own cabin.
Ex girlfriend? Why would that be a problem if she's an ex? And if she's an ex, why is she coming with Harry's mom?
I walked back to my cabin, slipping into my pyjamas, and cuddling up with the blanket that lied on the bed, tucking myself in before drifting asleep.

I got mad. Frustrated with the whole situation and Ariel only made it worse. I dreaded having to say this to her so early before I barley knew the news myself, but fucking Zayn had to bring it up. If only Ariel wasn't there, none of this fight would've happened. I wouldn't of stormed away from her, and I wouldn't be pacing around my cabin like crazy either.
I decided to go to Zayn anyway. He's the only one that knows the whole story and who could possibly fix this, because I have a shit ton to do.
I banged on his cabin door hard until Zayn and his stupid smirk that plastered his face, opened the door.
"What do you want?" Zayn asked sluggishly.
"You're going to help me. That's what." I said before barging into his cabin, and starting to pace around the room, once again.
"With what?" Zayn laughed, making me want to rip his vocal cords out.
"You fucking know." I rolled my eyes before getting up and walking to Zayn.
"What'd you tell her?" Zayn asked, crossing his arms over his chest.
"That Ella's coming with my mom."
"That's it?" Zayn asked surprised by my words.
"That's all she needed to know." I answered solemnly.
"What about the part of why your ex is with your mom in the first place?!" Zayn threw his hands in the air in frustration.
"That's not important." I quieted Zayn. "She's not coming to camp, so that's the least of my problems. I'm seeing my mom after spring break, camp will be over by then."
"Will you and Ariel be over too?" Zayn raised his eyebrow.
"I- I don't know." I shook my head. We've barely been dating, for a few days actually, so it's hard to tell where we stand at this moment. If she chooses to leave me after this, I don't think it will hurt me, or her for that matter.
"Well you better get your shit together Harry." Zayn shook his head, walking over to his mini fridge in the corner.
"I'm trying." I pressed my fingers in the bridge if my nose to release some of the tension that was building up, causing me a headache.
"If you screw this relationship up like last time with Lainey because of Ella, I will literally give Ella a pat on the back for messing up one, almost two, of your relationships." Zayn snickered, cracking open his beer can and taking a sip.
"We don't speak about Lainey." I gritted my teeth. "That was two fucking years ago."
"And who says it won't happen again?" Zayn lifted up his can, shrugging.
"Because it won't." My jaw clenched from anger.
"Whatever you say." Zayn gave me a small smile.
"Now get out." He spoke harshly, taking another sip of his beer.
"Gladly." I turned on my heel, and walked out of his cabin, back to my own.
When I reached my cabin, I changed out of my clothes into nothing but my boxers, and slipping under the white linen sheets of my bed.
I couldn't stop thinking about what tomorrow would bring. I have enough drama with girls already. First I have Cassidy who is stuck on me like a leech, then I have Ella who I'm sure I'll have to see after camp, and most importantly I have Ariel who I need to apologize to immediately.
For some reason, I had the urge to get out of bed and slip on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, and walking out of my cabin, onto the gravelled pathway.
I reached Ariel's cabin. Stopping when I reached the front door.
A/N sorry it took a while and it's a shorter chapter. I was eating chicken strips and dealing with Harry's divorce papers with @harryfanfic_ she just won't let go of him so I had to step in. Again, sorry for the wait:)
