DECOY | H.S (discontinued)

Chapter 4

Davina's POV:

"Are you okay?" His hands were placed on my lower back as he guided me to my car.

"Yeah, I'm okay." I force a smile, which I was pretty sure he saw through.

He looks at me curiously before opening my car door form me. I immediately regret letting him open it as his eyes go wide at the sight of my suitcase.

"Are.. Are you going somewhere?"

"Long story." I mutter.

"Yeah, well, I've got time."

*

"So yeah. My dad chose Vanessa over me, again." I bite my lip trying to stop the tears welling up in my eyes.

"Hey." Harry tilts my head up. "It.." He looks away for a while. "It'll be okay. Everything will be back to normal sooner than you think."

I nod, not being able to believe him. Nothing will be the same. Not since mom died. And now some crazy bitch is taking her place!

"You can stay at my place?" Harry blurts, making me look up at him shocked. Clearly, I hadn't been expecting this.

"I can't. That was really nice of you to offer, but you know, Vanessa might-"

"I get it." He cuts me off. "I don't know what I was thinking. So where are you gonna stay?"

"At Lou's."

"Lou as in, the guy who was at the shop earlier with you?" He clenches his jaw.

"Yeah. He's my best friend."

"Right. Bye then. I'll.. see you around." With that he walks back to his car, gets in and slams the door, and leaves without a word leaving me all alone in the deserted parking zone.

*

Im glad I have a spare key. I dont think Louis is back from his date yet. I smile at the thought and unlock the door before walking in.

"Oh shit!" I turn around immediately. I cant believe I just saw that.

There Louis and his date were, making out, hardcore. Most of the clothing dispersed.

"What the hell Louis?! Who is she?" The girl shrieks. Oh well.

"She's my bestfriend! Damn. Im sorry." He sighs.

I hear shuffling in the background which Im sure they are they are trying to collect their clothing.

"And she has a key!" I hear the girl hiss.

"Yes." Louis shrugs it off.

"What the hell, you are lying to me. She's your girlfriend isn't she?!"

"God. If she was my girlfriend, do you think she would be staying turned around?!" Louis groans.

"You fuck her occasionally then?" She yells

"God no! Im just his best friend! Damn." I turn around.

"Ofcourse you defend yourself now! Are you fucking homeless? You need to crash here when you knew he was busy?!"

"Alright thats enough!" Louis booms. "Kate, get out."

"Wh-What? You are kicking me out?" Kate's jaw drops.

"Louis, you dont have to, I can leave." I whisper to Louis, but he grabs my arm.

"No. Kate, Im sorry, but you cant insult my bestfriend and just stay here. If you are gonna be here often, you should know that so is Davina."

"Whatever. I wouldnt want to be here with her anyways." She mutters before grabbing her jacket and walking out the door.

Woah. That was something.

"I think she's qualified to join the Vanessa army, dont you?" Louis snickers before tackling me down to the sofa.

"Eww, Louis! Get off me. You and Kate have contaminated the couch!" I pull my tongue out at him.

He bursts in to laughter, but helps me off the couch.

"Later. Im gonna go sleep." He mutters and kisses my cheek before leaving.

*

I lie down on the guestroom bed, which was already mainly filled with my things because I crash here often. I close my eyes trying to sleep. But one thing keeps making its way to my brain. Harry. Why does he care about me so much? Why did I love it so much when he hugged me? Was it just me or did his lips just always look so kissable.

God. I need to stop.

The way he smells. I could just stay buried in his neck for years, and centuries. That dimple. The way he smiles. Its all just so perfect.

But then, there's Vanessa, with a plan to ruin my whole fucking life. Why cant she get a clue that she will never be same as my mother? She can never take her place. And dad! He must have forgotten what he promised to me right when mom died.

"No one can ever take her place, darling. No one."

He had said to me. Doesn't look like it now. Vanessa has him wrapped around her fucking finger. God, I hate her so much.

3:17 AM.

My clock read. I have work in the morning. God. I need sleep.

And then, I went to sleep, thinking of how it would feel if i was hugging harry instead of these fucking pillows, and Damn, it felt good. Cliche' I know.

*~*

"Morning Nana!" I call as I walk in to the storage room to get my apron.

"Morning dear. Now, tell me, did you score a date with that handsome boy that came to see you yesterday?" She asks excitedly.

"No, Nana. He wasnt here for that reason." I blush.

"Sure he wasn't." She smirks but leaves it alone.

*

My whole day was filled with Nana making snarky comments about how Harry and I are perfect for each other. But the truth is we are not. I've had enough of people turning their back on me, and that's exactly what Harry did last night. I sigh at the memory of him leaving me in the cold darkness of the night.

Walking in to the parking lot, I check my phone for the time. it's already 10 pm. I start towards my car but someone grabs my arm. I follow through my first instinct to throw a punch.

"Woah, Davina." I turn around expecting to see Harry again but it's the last person I ever expected to see here. My dad.

Sorry for the late update
And cliffhanger.
