another lifeline

get yourself back together

"Harry?" 

I looked up to face a worried Liam. 

I hadn't heard him coming...

He must've been nearby when Louis called him. 

"Harry? Are you allright?"

He came closer, closing the door behind him.

"Yeah yeah" I managed to say, trying to clean the tears of my face.

"Doesn't look like it." 

"Probably not."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"Hmm, thinks so."

"Okay."

"How much do you know?"

"Louis said that Aria was with Eleanor, not more. I decided to look for you first, since he said you were here quite a bit."

"Ow, well, you should now this: no fun is coming your way."

"I already had that feeling."

"So, okay, I'll get straight to the point, I'll tell more details when I'm called down a bit."

"Thats okay, don't rush."

I waited a few second before I collected my strength again.

"Aria's pregnant."

I heard him gasping. 

He didn't see that one coming..

"She is?"

"Yeah, I wish she wasn't."

"We all do."

"Hell never stops for her."

"It will."

"When?"

From the look at his face, I know he didn't know what to answer.

"And, eerm, why is she with Eleanor now?"

"She doesn't want to see me."

"What?" 

"Uhu, you heard me."

"Why?"

"Louis says it's because men have hurt her too much."

"He has a good point there."

"Hmm."

"Give her some time, she'll come around."

"Hmmm."

"She just told you to leave?"

"Yeah, I was with her for a few minutes, comforting her and than... She told me to go..."

"Wow."

"I didn't know what to do, so I called Eleanor."

"That was smart."

"She came and went to see Aria. I stayed downstairs and waited with Louis."

"And than?"

"They came back, El was carrying a bag over her shoulder, she was hugging Aria and told me she was taking her to her place. I agreed and Louis said he would stay with me. They left. Aria didn't look at me once from when they came downstairs till when they left. She kept looking at the floor."

"Don't take this personal."

"I don't understand, suddenly she was like pushing me away. Wanting me out of that room."

"She must have realized some things, she was in shock I assume."

"Yeah she was."

"Give her some time."

"Hmmm."

"You know, Eleanor will do great with her."

"Yeah, you're right, El's great in things like that."

"Do you want to come back downstairs?"

"Can you give me one more minute?"

"Sure."

"I just want to clean my face a bit."

"Why?"

"I look like a mess."

"Yeah, sure, there'll be a photoshoot downstairs."

"One minute?"

"Okay, I'll be downstairs."

"See you there"

I watched him walk out and went to the bathroom. 

Cleaning my face I felt the strentgh come back. 

I looked up in the mirror. 

This face would not cry the next days or months, not as long as Aria needed me. 

When she wanted to see me back, I would stay strong. 

Strong, for her.

Taking one last look in the mirror I stepped out. 

I went to take a look at Aria's room. 

I still could see her curled up against the wall like she was  few hours ago. 

I also remembered how she sat in her bed when I found her the first day. 

I had to see her back here as soon as possible. 

I closed the door and walked downstairs. 

Ready for everything that still had to come.

Zayn and Louis were sitting on the sofa while Niall was pulling out his jacket. 

Liam was nervously walking around. 

They all looked very down, had they all heard about Aria? 

When I took a closer look I saw anger.

Anger?

They all turned around to face me, except for Liam who was glaring at the table.

I ignored the other's faces and followed the direction Liam was staring at.

I was wrong. 

I was not ready for what was coming.
