Silent Treatment {HS} EDITING

Ch. Five

It was an awkward evening, I stayed with Harry. After ten minutes of attempting small talk in his room, we finally decided on going into the living room and watch Friends.

"Do you want some popcorn?" Harry asked minutes later, I looked away from the TV and over to him nodding.

" Be right back." He announced before leaving the room, and I let out a long sigh. I turned and watched him leave and then squished back into the seat. Everything was edgy ever since the boys left, there was awkwardness in the air and it was beginning to suffocate me.

" Zayn just texted me and told me that Perrie and him are going out to dinner." Harry informed me, coming back into the room.

" What's Perrie like?" I asked, feeling a little excited that another girl would be around for a little.

"She's a nice girl, she's really bubbly." He shrugged.

" And her and Zayn are dating?" I wondered.

"Engaged." He corrected, and I nodded my head. Suddenly, a bitter smell filled my nostrils and my eyes popped out of my head.

"Harry!" I exclaimed, and at first he seemed confused by my sudden outburst, but then we both began sprinting for the kitchen. He made it to the microwave a second before me, because of the length of his legs and my injured foot.

When he opened the door, puffs of grey smoke came out and made me cough. I waved my hand in front of my face, and Harry grabbed the bag and through it into the garbage can.

"Not a smart idea!" I exclaimed, taking it out and throwing it into the sink in case it was hot enough to set anything to fire. I quickly turned on the water and a stream of hissing sounds came from the bag.

A few seconds passed of the water running and Harry began laughing behind me, I turned around trying to be serious but began laughing with him. This entire problem was actually pretty hysterical.

I went to go step on my injured foot, still laughing, but quickly stopped when I felt a sharp pain.

"Ow!" I yelped, grabbing my foot. Harry stopped laughing quickly, and moved closer to me, to grab me, helping me regain the balance I was loosing. Before I knew what he was doing he lifted me off the ground and onto the counter.

"What are you doing?" I asked, my voice was quiet.

" I need to see your foot, stay still." He said gently. He set one hand on my knee and brought the other one down to grab my foot holding it in front of his face. "Emily, I really think you need to see a doctor."

"I promise I'll be fine." I reassured, " I just need to stay off of it and rest." I further explained.

"Are you sure?" He asked, setting my foot down and look at me. He was settled in between my legs, but not to close. However, he was close enough to allow a blush to creep to my cheeks, and his hand still remained in its place on my knee.

" Positive." I nodded breathlessly, my voice coming out as a whisper as I noticed him slowly moving closer to me.

" You are beautiful Emily." He mumbled, his voice just inches away from mine. I didn't know what to say to compliments ever. I knew they weren't true, but I didn't want to seem like those girls who are looking for more compliments, in fact, I wanted him to stop.

I was close to leaning in all the way, and I believe he was too before there was a sound. I jumped back at the noise, and heard keys jingling.

"Emily?" I heard Simon call, and then he appeared through the door. Harry had already taken a few steps back and was now standing against the island with his hand on his neck, rubbing it. I felt the blush on my cheek and I closed my legs, looking down at my foot as if to pretend that I was inspecting it.

" Hey!" He smiled walking in.

"Hi." I said, looking between him and Harry who exchanged awkward waves.

"It's nice to you see you out of bed Harry." Simon acknowledged. Harry just pursed his lips together and nodded.

" What are you two up to?" He asked, it was a casual question, but somehow seemed like the hardest one to answer.

" We've just been watching some TV." Harry explained for me, and for that moment I was so thankful for him.

" Sounds fun, where are the others?" He asked.

"They are at the club, Zayn's picking up Perrie." Harry also explained, and I felt stupid for just sitting there without a word.

" Oh, why didn't you two go?" He asked, and I was about to grumble at the amount of questions Simon was asking.

" Emily cut her foot, and I decided to stay back and help her."

" That's nice." Simon chuckled, leaning against the counter. I almost laughed at the fact that he didn't ask about my foot, but instead said a goodnight before making his way out of the room and leaving us alone. I looked down and then felt Harry's presence.

"Do you want to watch more TV?" He asked.

"No, I think I'm going to go to bed." I shook my head, still looking down.

" Okay." He shrugged, but disappointment was laced in his voice. I wondered why neither of us brought up what just happened, but maybe it was for the best.

I lifted myself off the counter and got back on the ground as I hoped on my one leg.

"Here, let me help." He tried.

"I got it."

"Stop being so stubborn." He complained, bringing his hand to my lower back as if he was going to pick me up. Then, I was lifted off my feet again, and I wrapped my arms around his neck.

He carried me up the stairs with ease, and down the hall where he stopped in the door way of my room. I helped him out and I opened the door for him, and he carried me in and laid me down on my bed.

" Thanks." Was all I said.

" Are we just going to pretend that the little scene in the kitchen didn't happen?" He chuckled, and I felt my heart stop at his question. I was hoping it wasn't going to be brought up, but I should have known better.

" I don't know." I lamely said.

" Let's not, and save it for another time." He said, sitting beside me on the bed. I looked up at him with a little shock, and he was grinning at me.

" Goodnight Emily." He smiled.

"Goodnight Harry." I whispered, and watched him as he leaned forward and pressed a kiss to my cheek before leaving me in my own silence.
