Opening and closing my mouth I quickly shook my head while looking at Harrison through the mirror as he closes the bathroom door behind him and locking it, causing my heart to speed up when he turns back to staring at me through the mirror before I turn around to face him. 

I watch as he slowly starts to walk towards me causing me to back up more until my back meets the counter as I hold my breath while he reaches me and extends his hand out to brush a piece of hair out of my face before placing his hand on my cheek rubbing his thumb on my cheekbone. "I finally got you away from that annoying boyfriend of yours" Harrison hums, sliding his hand down from my cheek until he's holding the side of my neck "Harrison...what are you doing?' I asked nervously

"Taking a trip down memory lane" he said before wiggling his eyebrows as he quickly grabs my hips and turns us to where my back is met with the locked door "Do you remember the last time we were here?" Harrison asked as I swallowed thickly as I looked up at him. "Yes, but I really shouldn't be here, Jonah's probably looking for me" I said as he shakes his head, clicking his tongue as he bites his bottom lip "Can I tell you something about that boyfriend of yours darling?" Harrison said as I raised my brows "I feel like even if I say no you're going to tell me anyway" I replied unimpressed causing his eyes to light up as he laughs "Man, you've gotten feisty since the last time I've seen you. I like that- and you're correct by the way" Harrison said as his face drops into a more serious expression as he focuses his eyes on mine.

"I'm just letting you know right now Isabella, if he ever touches you like that again, he's a dead man" Harrison warned as I looked at him in shock "You can't be serious" I said as he raised his brows with a challenging look "Just try me sweetheart" he said as my lips parted fixing to say something only to be stopped as he continued "You have no idea how lucky he was that I was in a good mood tonight" he continues while searching his eyes across my face making me furrow my brows "Why were you in a good mood?" I asked as his lips quirked up "Two things, One, I got to see my little Belle, and two, I took my medicine" he said as I looked at him even more confused 

"You take medicine?" I asked causing him to grin, biting back a laugh "No, I'm not" he said sniffing and rubbing his finger under his nose, and then I notice something that drains all the color from my face as I quickly  reach my hands out to grip the lower part of Harrison's white dress shirt, looking with worried eyes at the blood that was splattered over it "Oh my god! Are you hurt? Harrison what the hell happened" I asked worriedly which only caused his hands to quickly snap straight to mine, pulling them away from his shirt and keeping a hold of them, interlocking his fingers with mine.

I look up to his face to see his brows furrowed and his lips were pressed into a flat line, a look of what almost resembles panic. The expression only lasted for a split second before he's smiling and laughing under his breath. "Calm down darling, it's only a part of the costume, it's not real" he said as I looked back down at the blood on his shirt, wondering what the hell that has to do with a devil costume, wondering why I didn't notice it when I saw him earlier 

Harrison grips my chin, making me look up at him as he pouts even though his eyes held that same smug look he's always wearing "Aw darling, were you worried about me?" he asked making me roll my eyes "No I wasn't worried, I just, I just didn't know what happened" I said as he tsks with a click of his tongue while scowling playfully "You know, lying isn't very nice, and you're very terrible at it" he said as I bit my bottom lip, trying to ignore the prickling all over my body with how close he is along with the feel of his fingers against my skin, oh how I'm getting sucked right back into that black hole where everything about him consumes me.

I pull my face away from his hand, trying to hold on to the last bit of resolve I have left. "Why am I here Harrison?" I asked making him tilt his head to the side while squinting his eyes briefly "I told you, you're here to take pictures for Nick" he stated as if that was a dumb question causing me to let out a frustrated huff, my irritation bubbling up "But why? Why did you organize for me to even come here tonight? Why do you even care about my photography? Why did you even lock us in this damn bathroom, and why the hell do you even care what my boyfriend does with me?" I questioned as Harrison just looked at me with a stoned face before lifting his hand once I finished asking all my questions as if to ask if I was finished
