My Forever (Harry Styles)

Drowning

Drowning. 

I'm drowning in this perfect love. 

Maybe not perfect in the literal sense of the word. But that's what it feels like when he touches me or looks at me in that way. I'm downing and can't be saved.

"Ariel wake up." I hear someone whispering.

"Wake up! Now!" He's angry. Why is he angry?

"Ariel! It's Harry!" Cameron?

I flutter my eyes open to see Cameron's face over mine. His features are panicked with wide eyes. I sit up when he stands to his feet on the side of my bed.

"What?" I ask in a tired confused voice.

"Listen to me. I would wanna be the last person to tell you this but, Harry is in trouble." He tells me.

"What do you mean?" 

"I don't know where he is or what he's done. Kaidyn has just told me to wake you up and tell you to meet her somewhere." 

I stand to my feet quickly and rummage through my dresser and pick out a random shirt and shorts. I pull them over my body and slide into my shoes before heading downstairs with Cameron hot on my trail.

"What are you doing?" I ask him when he tries to follow me out the door.

"I'm driving you to where she told me to. You don't know where it is cause I haven't told you. Where did you think you were doing?" He asks me.

"To the hospital?" I say confused.

"Uh, no. He's not in the hospital. Just get in the car, I'll take you." He tells me and leads me to the car. I slide in to the passenger seat and he slides in next to me. He starts the car and we take off down the road. 

"Are you going to tell  me where we are going?" I ask annoyed.

"No. You'll see." He tells me. 

I start to get the feeling that maybe he's bluffing and he's taking me somewhere else to do God knows what. 

After about 45 minutes of straight driving, we finally pull into a parking lot that I do not recognize. I must have missed the sign.

Cameron looks over at me and notices my confused expression. "It's a holding center." 

My heart sinks to my stomach as the words leave his mouth. We were just together yesterday. I thought we talked everything through and everything was fine. Was he faking it all? My heart hurts at the thought and I suddenly feel really sick. 

I look over at Cam, "Do you know what he did?" I ask him in a small voice. He shakes his head and I look away from him.

I look ahead of me and see Kaidyn and Liam emerge from the front doors. They spot us and walk over to the car. I get out of the car as they get closer and so does Cam. 

When Kaidyn reaches me she pulls me into her arms. Liam is behind her and gives me a sympathetic smile. When she releases me she studies my face for a moment.

"What's going on?" I ask.

"I can't believe he didn't tell you. I thought for sure he was going to tell you when you talked things through last night." She tells me.

"Will someone please tell me what the hell is going on?" I ask annoyed.

"I think Harry should tell you. He's been asking for you ever since he got here." Liam says.

"Fine, then take me to him." I say.

"I'm not so sure that's a good idea right now." Kaidyn says stepping in front of me.

"Why the hell not? I came all the way out here!" I shout.

"He's not... well." Liam says looking at the ground.

I look to Cam who is right behind me looking at the ground too. I turn to face him and he looks me in the eyes.

"Did you have something to do with this?" I ask him.

He stays silent but gives me an "are you kidding me?" look. I roll my eyes and face Liam and Kaidyn again. 

"Then what am I doing here?" I ask.

"Well I thought you knew and I knew you needed to be here." Kaidyn tells me.

"And how do you know this big secret of his?" I ask irritated.

"Liam told me. Just last night!" She clarifies.

I pass my limit of patience and storm past them to head for the door. I only hear one set of feet following behind me but I don't turn around to see who it is. I reach the door and swing it open.

"How can we help you miss?" A middle aged woman asks me from behind a glass window.

"Harry Styles?" I ask her with a brow raised. She looks down at her computer.

"Ariel, I don't know if this is a good idea. You heard Kaidyn and Liam." Cameron whispers into my ear from behind me. 

"Shut up Cam. Go away." 

The lady looks up from her computer. "Do you wish to speak with him?" She asks me.

"Yes."

"Alright. Sign this sheet." I do so as she signals to one of the police officers and he walks up to me.

"This way miss." He tells me. I look to Cam and he holds his hands up in surrender and backs up. 

I follow the officer down a dimly lit hallway until we reach a grey metal door. "Have a seat and he will be with you shorty." 

I nod and take a seat at one of the seats across the table. He closes the door behind him and I am alone. My heart beat accelerates and I feel sick again. What has he done? And what did Liam mean when he said Harry wasn't well?

A whole 15 minutes goes by before the door finally opens. A tired looking Harry stands in the door way with his hands behind his back and his head held low. He's dressed in an orange jumper and my eyes start to burn with tears. What has he done? My Harry...

The officer behind him leads Harry to the seat across from me at the table. I don't take my eyes off Harry and he hasn't even picked his head up. The look of defeat evident in his features. 

Drowning in love?

More like drowning in disappointment and hurt. 

Drowning in love had felt so good. But not anymore. Love comes with consequence. In my case and most cases. 

I thought there were no secrets between us anymore. I was wrong once again. My trust has been abused once again. 

My heart has been abused... once again. 

"Harry..." I start to say.
