Crawling back to you - w2s

Chapter 14

Without a second thought I burst the door open, prepared to scream at her; she was scrolling on her phone, laid next to Talia. "Laura, how could you do this to me?" I shrieked, scaring Talia so much that she jumped up from the bed, exchanging glances between me and Laura.

"What are you on about." She furrowed her brows at me, attempting to act confused.

"Oh come on, don't play this game. I know you purposely wiped me out on the slopes." By this time the boys had arrived and were waiting in the doorway, curious to what Laura had to say.

"I- no I didnt me-." She glanced over towards the door, directly staring at Harry.

"Oh come on, it's so obvious you like Harry." Ethan shoved his way through the door, looking furious as he propped himself up against the wall.

"I- no. You know what, fine, what if I do? You only met him what, a month ago? I've known him years, years more than you. Why can't i have a chance, you get everything and I'm always left with nothing." She began to raise her voice, becoming more and more enraged.

The room felt silent for a solid few seconds, before Harry began to speak in a mocking voice, "Well, actually, you didn't know me. You knew me from YouTube not in person." Harry rolled his eyes sarcastically before everyone began to go red, trying not to laugh. Me and Laura just stood there, silent.

Laura, humiliated, picked up a vase, aiming directly for me. "WILL YOU ALL JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LEAVE ME ALONE." She yelled before throwing the vase. Luckily, I managed to dodge it, causing it to smash against the wall.

"Right, that's it." I muttered furiously under my breath before storming over to Laura, my fists out and ready to punch her.

She pounced at me, throwing a punch to the right side of my face before I grabbed her hair and pulled her forward, causing her to fall to the ground.

I felt echoes and screams around me as people tried to stop us, but I just couldn't. The adrenaline was taking over me.

She grabbed my legs while laid on the floor, jolting me forward and causing me to smack my head into the desk in front of me. Then, she stood up and began repetitively kicking my back. I rolled over to face her, one of my hands clasped around my mouth to stop the pain and the other reaching out for her hair again.

Luckily, Ethan and Simon had finally stepped in, with Simon grabbing Laura by the waist to pull her off me and Ethan standing in front of me to stop her from hitting me anymore. I just laid there, speechless by what just happened and clearly in pain. The front of my lip was heavily bleeding.

Harry stood by the doorway, flabbergasted by what just happened. Simon dragged Laura out of the room, with Talia leaving close behind. Harry stepped closer to me, before heading over and sitting on the bed.

"You alright?." He mumbled to me as Ethan held out his hand for me to help me up. I nodded quickly before I rested myself onto the bed clasping my hand over my lip.

"I'll go and get some tissues for your lip, wait here." He muttered before quickly exiting the room.

I couldn't help but burst into tears as I sat beside Harry; I couldn't believe my own sister would do this to me. She valued a boy she didn't even know a month ago to her own family.

Harry wrapped his arm over my shoulder, pushing me into his chest as I continued to cry.

"It's ok, you've always got me, if that helps." He mumbled as he stroked my shoulder, attempting to calm me down.

"Thanks, but I don't know what to do. I'm meant to put family before friends and love. I don't know if I can be with you, if this is what happens." I gently wrapped my arms around Harry, digging my head into his chest.

"I understand. Take your time to talk things out with her. I'll always be here waiting." His raspy voice felt so calming as he spoke, and I knew that all I wanted to do was sit here in his arms forever, but I knew I couldn't. Not until Laura was ok with me and him seeing each other.

I felt Ethan's presence as I sat up. He crept over to me, carrying a first aid kit. "Here" he handed it to Harry who immediately opened it. He picked up a small cotton bud, before gently dabbing it on my face.

Something about him looking after me like this made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. I just felt.....safe.

"There, you should be ok now." He smiled at me as he closed the first aid box and stood up, heading over to the bin. He threw the cotton bud into it before walking back over to me and sitting back down.

"Do you lot wanna go for a walk or anything?" Ethan suggested, slightly leaning against the doorway with his arms folded.

Me and Harry both nodded before heading towards him, slightly smiling. As Ethan turned to leave, I felt a hand gently brush against mine. I looked up to see Harry glaring directly at me, beaming at me.

Then, I gently grabbed his hand, interlocking his fingers with mine before we both headed out the door. I couldn't help but blush.
