THE CURB (MATURE HARRY STYLES AU) #WATTYS2016

CHAPTER SIXTY-ONE.

Minutes feel like hours as I sit on the couch with only my horrible thoughts accompanying me in the eerily silent house. My eyes fall on to the food that Harry had ordered for us not so long ago and I was so eager to eat it but now, I don't feel hungry at all. Not one bit.

With a sigh, I close my sigh and puff out a breath and lean back into the couch at the same time, thinking about my fucked up life. I used to think that kidnappings and betrayals were just the part of Hollywood movies but now, I've learned that the movies only show us the real world. The horrible, monstrous world we are all part of.

Harry's phone vibrates in my hand and I slide it open, there are two messages from Selvia. I click on the screen and the conversation pops open.

'I called Luke, don' worry he's on his way'

'Did he and Harry get into an argument or something? Luke seemed a bit off when I mentioned Harry :/'

I sit up a bit as I read the second message, contemplating on whether I should tell her a truth or not. My fingers linger over the alphabets and my lips are pressed in a thin line as I think about what to type.

As soon as I type 'thanks', the sound of foot steps causes me to look away from the screen and towards the hallway. I frown, standing up from the couch and padding towards the source of the sound.

As I'm about to make an entry into the hall, I bump into someone harshly and it causes me shriek in surprise and fall down on to the floor with a thud.

"Ouch." I say, looking up towards the person who had bumped into me and my eyes become wide when I see Luke standing there with a frown on his face.

As soon so my mind registers his face, the drama I had caused the last time he was here runs in front of my eyes, causing me to look away from him in embarrassment.

"Here. C'mon." His voice causes me to look up from the floor and I find him holding out a hand for me.

Slowly and hesitantly, I grab a hold of it and he pulls me up from the floor in one quick move, immediately letting go of my hand once I'm on my feet.

I quietly watch as he walk towards the couch and sits down on it before taking the phone out of his pocket. He taps on the screen a few times before bringing it to his ear, sucking on his lip ring as he waits for the other person to pick up the phone.

"Hey. I've reached Harry's." Luke says and I realize that he must be talking to Selvia.

"Erm, no. Haven't checked up on him yet." He says into the phone before snapping his head in my direction and giving me a look before he avert his eyes away from me again.

"Yeah, she's here." He says nodding his head before becoming quiet again and listening to what Selvia is saying.

"Uh huh. Don't worry, Vi. Enjoy your vacation, yeah? Bye." He says and removes the phone from his ear.

"Are you just going to stand there and spy on me like some freak or will you come here and explain what's happening." His words cause me to frown and I blink my eyes a couple of time, not really believing that he's talking to me after the horrible thing I've done to him.

Talking in a deep breath, I decide that it's not the right time to act so awkwardly, I walk towards the couch and sit down at a little distance from him.

"Look," I start, not looking up from my fingers as I prepare myself to say the next words. "I'm really sorry for what I did, really. I.."

"I don't care. I don't want your apology, alright? I'm here for my friend, not you." Luke snaps at me harshly, not even letting me complete my sentence, causing me to pursue my lips.
