CHAPTER TEN

HARRY'S P.O.V

I needed to make sure I left before Valerie woke up and saw me. It'd be better if she thought that I was just some random person she fucked, a meaningless one night stand. This situation was already getting messy enough, I didn't need it to get worse.

As I got to the warehouse, Jackie, Niall, Louis, and Zayn were all there, talking aimlessly. Their speaking came to a halt once I walked in.

"Christ, what's wrong with you, Styles?" Jackie's voice spoke up, confusion in her eyes.

"You look fucked up," Niall said. I rolled my eyes.

"If you only fucking knew," I spat, pulling up a seat and sitting next to them.

Louis gave a small chuckle, head shaking as he leaned forward in his seat, elbows on his knees. "I'm assuming you lost Liam?" He questioned me, blue eyes burning into my green ones.

I took a deep breath, fists balled up. "Yup."

I had him. Right. Fucking. There. I had my chance. I wanted to kill him, right then and there. Put our past behind us--give him the sweet bliss of dying by my fucking knife.

Although, Valerie was fucking stupid for bringing him there in the first place, she brought him right to my club. Right into my hands.

But, I missed my chance. Now, she was in my fucking house.

"Oh, for fucks sake--" Zayn grumbled under his breath. "We're all going to have to step in if you can't do it."

"Oh, you think I'm not trying?" I defended myself. "You do it, then."

"I would've, had James kept me assigned me to it," he spat back. I sucked my teeth. Zayn couldn't do it, he knew he couldn't. That's why he failed. He just liked to make me feel like a disappointment every once in a while.

"No, if Harry's having a hard time, then we know this idiot is definitely hard to get," Jackie spoke for me.

"Wow, for the first time ever you think I'm right?" I asked her.

"Don't push it, pendejo," she snapped.

I let out a dry chuckle and Niall's voice spoke up. "So, how did it go?"

"Valerie called Liam," I began. Jackie's mouth dropped and she jumped to her feet, her expression just reading: 'I told you so'.

"I fucking told you that would happen!" Jackie exclaimed. I put my hand up in defense.

"How fucking annoying," Louis muttered.

Jackie turned toward Louis, anger in her eyes. "Shut the fuck up."

"Every single time we've mentioned Valerie, you get all fucking antsy, fuck is your issue?" Niall asked. She was quiet for a moment before folding her arms across her chest.

"Excuse me for not wanting to hear about men speak about women in a disgusting way. Styles' dumb ass wanted to go ahead and traumatize this innocent woman, now look at the deep shit he put himself into. We could get what we want... without doing that."
