The next morning Harry woke up from his slumber to the smell of bacon and eggs. Lazily, he opened one eye, soon to open the other. The sunlight bounced off of the loft walls and caused Harry to close his eyes for a split second. It couldn't have been any later than nine am. Taking in his surroundings he realized he had fallen asleep in Leigh-Ann's usual spot, the sofa. He quickly remember he never went upstairs after eating take out and watching a few movies with Ann.

"Breakfast is ready." Leigh-Ann called, her voice slightly low but loud enough for Harry to hear her. Why was she up so early? He thought.
Groaning he began to wipe the sleep from his eyes. Soon after he threw Ann's blankets to the side , too tired to fold them . Dragging his feet against the soft white rug he found himself meeting with the wood flooring of the kitchen . Quietly , he began to lurk behind Ann . Ann was never up this early unless something was on her mind which was a lot late . Her appearance was different from last night so, she must've changed sometime within the last few hours . Instead of having her hair down it was in a high messy bun . She wore a mineral grey tank top along with black joggers and on her feet she wore a pair of white ankle socks which was slightly unusual . Ann never wore high ankle socks .

"What is that ?" He asked in a jokingly manner,  scrunching up his face instantly . Ann jumped slightly , clutching her chest . 

"Don't sneak up on me , Harry . Jeez ."

"My apologies , love ." He said chuckling ever so lightly . " You did say breakfast was ready." He smirked , walking over to the kitchen table .

   Ann rolled her eyes and turned off the stove and placed an even portion onto two plates . Adding a bit more pepper , she sat a plate in front of Harry and one where she planned to sit .

"You know you didn't have to cook , right ? We could've grabbed a few bagels and some coffee from Bill's." Harry said as he grabbed bacon , sausage, toast , and some sliced bananas from their designated plates and put them into his .

" We could've but I thought something new would be nice . " She said sitting down and mimicking his actions .

" I'm not complaining ." Harry smirked , taking another bite out of his eggs . "You did good, Ann."  He said in awe, as he began to cut up his sausage.

"Thanks." She blushed , taking a sip of her coffee.
After a while Harry finished off his meal . Scoffing he ran his hand through his long hair , pushing it back and scrapped his plate . Ann didn't move an inch until he was completely done . She hopped out of her chair and walked over to the fridge . Staring for a moment she debated whether or not she wanted to drink a beer .

Grabbing the beer she closed the fridge door and made her way into the living room .

"Ann, what are you doing?" Harry asked as he watched Ann pop of the cap and trace the rim on the bottle . Instead of answering she brought the bottle to her lips and gulped . Within seconds the bottle was halfway empty .

"Ann, chill out." He stated as he looked over at her barely touched plate and back at her . Her ran over and kneeled down in front of her.

"It's too early to drink . You didn't even eat." He stated , placing his hand on the bottle .

"I'm not hungry anymore ." She mumbled , her eyes become watery . " And it's never to early to drink ." She protested, removing his hand from the bottle and chugging the rest down. Sighing Harry stood up and pushed Ann ever so lightly .

"Scoot over." Ann looked up at him and furrowed her eyebrows , doing as told . Harry sat in her place and pulled her close, wrapping his arm around her small figure .

" I wish you'd stop. It's over ." He said hesitantly, hoping he didn't tick her off.

"Harry." She warned , knowing exactly where he was going with this .

"He didn't want you. He doesn't want you. You know this . You're only hurting yourself ."

"Shut up, shut up." Ann yelled, sitting up and covering her ears, tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Ann."

"Leave me alone , Harry ."

"This isn't healthy ."

"It could be worse. Just leave me alone." She sobbed standing up . In reality it could be worse .
