I turned off the tv, setting the remote down on my table, standing up from the couch

"How the fuck did that guy live?", Liam shouts at the Tv

"Who's the guy?" Calum says pacing back and forth

Harry walks into the room, with questionable eyes. "What did I miss? "he asked, standing beside me.

I honesty don't know why Harry's friends is still here. I mean I thought they were just being nice and making sure that we made it to my apartment room, but no. Once I unlocked the door, they just flooded in. Opening up my cabnets, looking through the refrigerator. Speaking of that, I need to go to the grocery store this weekend.

If your wondering, im okay. I just hope that the guys believed in God, cause if they didn't you already know were they are going. Oh and another thing, how important is this key? It has to be important if they caused this much damage. Just watch it be for a stupid reason.'

"One of them is Alive", I say about to walk off, when Harry pulls me back.

"Where are you going?"

"To get ready for school, I cant miss another day and i'd rather be there then here with you guys."

I know that was rude but I really need some time to breath, and I cant stand the glares from that curly head. Ashton, right?

Harry pulls me into the kitchen, sitting me down on the stool.

"What Harry?" I asked laying my head on the table.

"You need to sleep...you've been up all night. You cant go to school today." he reckons. He walks around the island to stand in front of me. "Look at me Janae"

"Im okay, im not tired at all. Stop worrying about me, please.", I groaned covering my face with my hands.

"I wont ever stop worrying about you Janae, stop being stubborn." He snaps, pulling away my hands from my face. "I cant stop worrying love, one of them is alive"

"So what! He probably thinks im dead too" I rudely reassured sliding off the stool.

"and what if he doesn't?" Harry says, lifting up his brow. I didn't answer him, walking out of the kitchen into my room and ofcource he followed. He sits on my bed, leaning over at the edge, with his elbows resting on his knees. His hands covered his face, as I hear him taking in deep breaths. I really need to give him a break, all he is doing is trying to look after me, make sure im safe.

I plug in the flat iron, turning it on so it can heat up, walking out of my bathroom to see him in the same position.

Bending down to be at the same eye level a him, I hesitantly reach for his hand, to remove them from his face. Luckily he lets me do it. His face was red, but he wasn't crying, he looked angry.

"Im sorry" I apologized, wrapping my arms around his neck pulling him into a hug. "Please hug me back" I plead when his arms stayed at his sides. He didn't move them at all, but slightly pushes me away.
