The Brightest Dark (Harry Styles) BOOK 1

Chapter 8

*Morning*

The sound of my phone ringing wakes me up. I groan and pick up my phone to see Damon calling. Oh no, Damon...What have I done! I've cheated on him. He trusted me! I knew I shouldn't have come here! I look to my right to see Harry gone. He's no where in the room.

"Hello?" I answer the phone.

"Thank God! I've been trying to reach you all morning! Did you just wake up?" He asks.

"Ya sorry, I slept late last night," I answer.

"So how did it go?" He teases.

"Great actually, I got a video," I respond biting my lip as I remember what else I recorded.

"Did you break him?"

"Ya I did, surprisingly," I chuckle.

"Great! What time do you want me to pick you up?"

"I'll text you when, I might want to see what happens this morning," I say.

"Okay, good luck. Love you," he responds.

My heart breaks as he doesn't know what I've done, "bye, love you too."

I can't believe last night, he was a total different person. The way he smiled, sounded, felt, acted, and laughed. I'm scared though, that when I go downstairs, he'll be rude again. I don't want that...

I look at  the clock to see it's 2 p.m. Holy crap, I slept way too late. I get up and change into my clothes from last night. I walk downstairs looking around for Harry. Everyone from the party was gone and the place was somewhat cleaned.

"You're finally up," Harry pops up from behind me.

"Oh hey, ya I can't believe how late I slept in," I laugh.

"Did you call your boyfriend?" He sounds uptight.

"His name is Damon and ya I did," I say.

"Cool."

"Is there something wrong?" I ask.

"No."

"If it's about what happened last night, I'm sorry about it. It'll never happen again," I frown.

"It was a kiss Lina. Everyone does it."

His words hurt me for an odd reason. Not that I should car, but it just feels like a knife being shoved into the back of my spine and coming out my chest. It was just a long night and I was drunk. I didn't know what I was doing. I don't actually like him.

"Can you not make a big deal about it then?" I ask, angrily.

"Trust me, I don't want anyone to know either," he snaps.

"Now you're back to yourself," I cross my arms.

"I never was anyone else, don't think because you forcibly kissed me, means we have some sort of bond," his eyes harden.

Forcibly? Wow, that's bullshit. I can still feel the way he held me and laughed against my skin. How can all that change within hours?

"You could have stopped me, if I supposedly started it first," I roll my eyes.

"Hardly," he scoffs.

"Thanks Harry," I spit.

I walk towards the front door and open it. I slam it close behind me as I call Damon. I can't stand him, how will I ever get to him if he won't even let me into his life...FUCK.

"Yes?" He picks up.

"Come pick me up please," I say softly.

"Ya of course, I'll be there in about 15 minutes," he hangs up.

I sit down on the sidewalk waiting for him.
