Face Down - The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

"You need to stop fucking around with him, Harmony!" Jeremiah yelled, spit flying in my face. I was getting really fucking tired of being treated this way.

"I'm not fucking around with him, Jeremiah! He's been my friend longer than you've even been around me! Lose the fucking attitude with him or lose me." I said, backing myself into a wall next to the door so I could easily escape. I can easily walk home from here.

It's late, like midnight late, and we should not be yelling like this.

"You don't get to leave me, Harmony!" He screamed, punching his fist into the wall next to my head.

I'm done.

"You can keep my stuff, im fucking done, Jeremiah. I'm leaving your broke ass." I said, storming out of the apartment before he could grab ahold of me. I slammed the door, hoping to catch his fingers. Unfortunately, I did not, but I did slam it in his face so i'll take the win.

I pulled out my phone with shaky hands and called the only person I vowed i wouldn't.

Calling Gold✨...

"Hello?" I heard his voice come through. It was obvious he had just woken up and I felt terrible.

"He did it again. This time he punched a hole in the wall next to me." I said, voice breaking. As fearless as I seemed talking to him, i was in quite the opposite state.

"Im on my way, love. I'll be there in a few, okay? Stay outside and I'll be there as quickly as I can."

"Will?" I asked quickly, ensuring he wouldn't hangup as soon as he finished.

"What's up?" He asked, rushing through his room. I could tell due to the static.

"Don't hang up." I whispered, eyeing everything around me to ensure Jeremiah wasn't here.

"Of course not." He said before i heard a door close.

"You okay?" I heard Izzy ask, concern lacing her voice. I could hear it through the phone. I genuinely loved that girl, she's so fuckin sweet.

"Mhm." He hummed. I could tell he was worried. I would say he doesn't have a reason to be, but i was in the same state.

"A harmony callin ya?" Izzy asked. I had to keep from laughing. I love her way of hiding our friendship in plain sight.

"Yeah, i'll be gone most of the night. Don't-Don't trash the place. Be back in the morning. Love you goodnight." He rushed out before the door closed behind him. "I'm going to my car, I will be there in like five minutes."

"Don't speed, Will."

"Fuck that." He said, slamming his car door. He stayed on the line, but it wasn't more than a minute before Jeremiah sought me out.

"What the fuck is wrong with you! Get back in the bloody apartment, Harmony!"

"No! I'm going home with Will, we're done!" I screamed back at him.

"Fine leave! I don't love you and he never will. Stop getting your hopes up because nobody has the ability to love you, Harmony." Jeremiah said, ripping a knife through my heart. It felt like I could throw up at any minute.

"That's not true!" I yelled back, pushing my nails into my palms to ground myself. I saw his car pull up a few moments later and when Will stepped out, he was bloody pissed.

"If you ever disrespect her like that again I will fucking beat your ass into the pavement!" Will said, gently grabbing my hand and leading me to the car. He opened my door and helped me in before closing it and turning around. He punched the shit out if Jeremiah and got in himself, speeding off down the road to my flat.

"I'm going to crash at your flat the next few nights to ensure he isn't an issue." Will said, wincing when he ran a hand through his hair.

"What about Iz?"

"She'll be fine. I'll be there during the days and the boys are moving in within this week. It'll only be a few nights, so I know you're safe."

"Thank you." I whispered, leaning my head on his shoulder. He moved his hand and laid it on my thigh, rubbing soft circles through my jeans to calm me down.

"He's wrong you know." He whispered as he parked into the same spot he always does.

"About what?"

"Ive loved you for months now, Harmony. He's the only one who doesn't love you, because I certainly do." He said, looking directly at me.

I knew I loved him back, I just didn't ever notice how deep it ran until now.

"Ditto." I laughed softly. "Just can't be with you yet because of him."

"You're still with him?"

"No, I left his broke ass. Even said it to his face after he punched the wall. Just need to be me for a while so I don't end up fearing you when there's no need to." I said softly, grabbing his hand and lacing our fingers together.

"Take your time, Harm, I'll always be here."

"Always?"

"Always."
