"Moxie?" Mum sounded flustered, as she called me over to her room. Guilt slipped through my veins, coursing through my body. I somehow managed to drag my numb body down the hall and peaked my head through the door.
"Yes, Mum?" My right hand reached up and brushed my bangs behind me ear. I bit my lip softly, anticipating a lecture.
She waved me closer, as I realized she was speaking into her cellphone. Papers were scattered all over her bed, and she was still in her pajamas. Something was up.
I paced closer and perched at the end of her bed until she hung up. A soft smile spread across her lips for a milisecond before she regained all seriousness and handed me one of the many pages that layed across the bed.
I shot her a confused look before I took the paper and scanned it. My stomach dropped, tears rolled down my cheeks.
"So you're just going to give up? You're just going to give up on him?" I squeaked.
"Moxie, he's never home. He's too wrapped up in his work, he never has time for us." Mum persuaded.
"Are you kidding me? You made him take that job. So you could start your own business and throw yourself into your work. Does he know? Or is this just another crazy idea that you want my opinion on?"
"Mox-"
"No, listen to me. Stop putting yourself first and think about your family. The family that is falling apart in spite of you."
And with that, I stormed off. What was she thinking? A divorce? How would Maddie and Mav take it? Their perspective on everything could take a turn for the worst and-
Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
I headed outside before I answered my phone, hoping maybe the fresh air would help eliminate the tears that were still flowing down my cheeks at a steady pace. And quite frankly I didn't want to be in a ten mile radius of my mother at the moment.
I choked down a ragedy breath before I placed the phone between my shoulder and my ear.
"Hello?" I managed without hooking my words.
"Mox, hey want to go grab a-" Sniff, "coffee or something?" Sniff, "I kind-" Sniff, "Wait, are you sick?"
"Nah, I'm fine. Meet me at the cafe in ten?"
"Sure thing."

About twenty minutes later, Harry and I sat on the same damp, chilly steps where he first asked me out. I was slumped against the wall as Harry explained the last 36 hours while I sipped on my cinnamon hot chocolate.
Although my thoughts drifted here and there, I managed to make sense of the current situation. Harry had gone back to his flat after he had left my house, and watched Disney movies until Lauren walked in. According to Harry, she was still somewhat tipsy, and didn't even notice him sitting clear in front of her until he spoke up. And then she proceeded to call him Matthew.
And apparently that's where he kicked her out. He called security, had them drag her out of his appartment and had them call her sister to come and deal with her. I guess that's what you get when you get so sauced that you are jumping all over other guys, right?
My thoughts wandered back to how my little brother and sister would react to the news. I mean, thats a lot to take on. I mean, look at me. I'm struggling here. I don't want them to worry about coming home after school and not having my dad here to help with their homework, or not be able to have mom comfort them when they stumble while riding their bike. They need their mom and dad. We all do. They're the glue that keep us from falling apart.
"Moxie, love? Are you alright?" Harry whispered in my ear.
"Yeah, um yeah. Just a little tired." I shot him a kind smile.
"You know I can see right through you, right? What's on your mind Mox?"
A thousand ways of how to form the words flooded my mind. How would Harry handle the news? He would be just as devestated as I was. My mouth opened to let words out, but all I could manage was a sigh.
Harry scooted closer, and wrapped his arms around me protectively. A tear slid down my cheek and I smiled faintly in his direction. He made me feel so safe, so protected. He made me feel cared for, even loved. He made me feel happy.
His bright green orbs stared down at me intently. He slowly closed to gap between our lips before he softly crashed his warm lips against mine. Butterflies erupted in my stomach and a blush arose to my cheeks before I could contain it.
When he pulled away, he had a hint of a smile tugging at his lips. Although that kiss made me quiver, I already knew it wasn't because he was moved on and wanted to be mine. He did it because he knew his power over me, and how he could fix my bad mood in seconds. He did it because he wanted to know what was wrong. He was just curious, not ready.
More tears spilled over my lash line, and he kissed them away with his feathery-light lips.
"Harry, they're divorcing."

I am so tired at the moment so im not even sure if any of this makes sense. If not, let me know. and i will most likely do nothing about it.
Um, shout out to @MusicF3lla because she likes to comment on my stories and I like her name and her story seems pretty legit and I am really sorry I was planning to do something better than this but um yanno, fatigue. and my phone is such a distraction that I kind of ran out of time. but check her out guys, she seems awesome c:
um also, shout out to @bluefire45 for the awesome idea for the trend, which was about Lauren cheating on Harry if you didn't catch my drift.
Um, shout out to @nutellaoreos as always because I just love her little adorable self so much and she calls me anastasia so
