I closed my eyes and didn't stop him from continuing to kiss me. This must have gone on for at least 30 seconds before I realized what was happening and pulled away. I had my hand on his chest and looked down. I slight shook my head and shoved myself away from him continuing to walk to the bathroom.
I ran into the bathroom and stopped not being able to breath. I walked over to the sink and turned it on thinking about splashing water in my face. Knowing I had makeup on I stopped and walked into a stall to go to the bathroom. When I was done I took a deep breath and walked out of the bathroom starting to go back to class.
Before opening the door and brushed my finishers through my hair when finally I was inside and I walked to my seat. I saw Harry casually sitting in his seat on his phone looking up when he saw me cone to sit down.
I didn't pay any attention to him, but I could tell he was staring at me trying to get me to look at him. I ignored him for the rest of the period before the bell rang. I started to walk to 6th period when I realized I had culinary. I decided it was okay to skip and started to walk home.
As I was almost home I started to get texts from Lia and Mae in our groupchat.
Lia: El
Mae: We need to talk
Mae: We're gonna come get you we know you're skipping
I quickly replied back saying I'm fine and it's not a big deal thinking they were talking about the fight. When I got home I threw my stuff in my room and grabbed a granola bar from the pantry. I sat around for what seamed like five minutes listening to music before I herd a knock at my door. I got up expecting it to be Lia and Mae starting to talk while I opened the door.
"I told you it's okay you shouldn't be wasting your time-" I stopped opening the door to see Harry.
"What are you doing here." I finally said breaking the silence.
"Are your parents home?" He said looking inside my house. It had hit me that my mom wasn't home so I said no and stepped aside letting him in my house.
"You can't just ignore it." He said turning around looking at me slightly smirking. I stared at him confused thinking I knew that he was talking about.
"I can't?" I said shaking my head and raising my eyebrows.
"I really like you." He said almost whispering walking toward me. I kept my head down staring at the ground as I herd a car door slam from outside. I lifted my head up and ran to the window looking out of the blinds. I saw Lia and Mae getting out of Lia's car. I froze for a minute not knowing what to do when I finally turned around to Harry.
"You have to go." I said as I herd a knock at the door. I didn't move as I watched Harry walk toward the door. He opened it and stared at Lia and Mae.
"I was just leaving." He said smiling and walking out the door.
Lia and Mae stood in shock staring at him walk down my drive way as I pulled them inside and shut the door.
"Ok I was gonna ask why a black truck was parked at your house, but instead I guess I should ask why Harry Styles just walked out of your door!" Lia said yelling at me.
"What are you expecting me to say? I'm gonna end up losing and you'll be the one to bash on me no matter what I say." I said snapping back at her.
"El." Mae said stepping forward.
"Can you please just tell us what this is? We don't care we just want to make sure you kn-"
"Know what? I know that he's full of shit and I shouldn't be around him? Isn't that already everything I think about and thanks to you and everyone else? Can't you just lay off for once?" Lia quickly turned around and walked out of my house while Mae stood there staring at me with puppy eyes.
"Ellie she knows, someone told her about you guys in the hall or something, I- I'm sorry." Mae said sighing. My heart stopped and everything around me felt like it was spinning before I snapped out of it and caught my breath again.
"I know there's a lot more to it I wish-"
"Yea there is. There is a lot more to it and neither of you should have anything to do with it and don't so please leave." Mae nodded her head and turned around to walk out.
I closed the door behind her and walked back over to the couch. I threw myself down on it and brought my hands to my face. I did everything I could to stop myself from crying, but before I knew it I was sobbing and I couldn't stop.
I picked up my phone and dialed Harrys number forcing myself to stop crying so he wouldn't know anythings wrong.
"Ellorie."
"Can we go somewhere." He sat in silence for a few moments before speaking.
"I'll come get you." I let out a sigh of relief and didn't know what else to say so I hung up. I walked into my room and changed into my long sleeve shirt I had got from a camp I went to in middle school and leggings. I sat on the edge of my bed waiting for Harry wondering if I had made a mistake by calling him.
I jumped up off my bed hearing a knock at my door. I quickly opened it letting myself out. Harry and I walked to his car and got in.
Before we knew it we had been driving for at least 30 minutes and the sun was about to set. I tried many times to force myself to tell him this was a mistake and he should take me home, but I couldn't.
"Where are we going." I said trying not to show my anxiety was getting the best of me.
"It's a secret." He said with a soft bubbly voice trying to make me feel better.
I became more and more worried as we traveled through the woods still not knowing where he was taking me. Finally as I was about to doze off, we pulled into a long driveway. I became more alerted and noticed a cabin next to a small lake.
We parked and got out of the car. I walked over to Harry and he put his arm around me. He pulled away walking to the door so I followed him. He stopped and pulled a key out from underneath the mat and opened the door. I followed him inside as he began to talk.
"My uh- dad bought this when we moved back up here. Guess he thought he'd be able to come up here on the weekends, but that hasn't worked out so far."
We walked into a small kitchen like room and he put his stuff down on the counter. He walked out into the small room with the couch. He brought me over to it and we sat down.
"We should talk-"
"Yea." I said quickly responding. Just before I as about to say something I noticed him wanting to talk, but seaming like he didn't know what to say. I took a deep breath and continued to stare at him.
"Mae- um has been... talking to me." I stared at him with a confused face.
"So I know a lot... About what's going on I mean." I tried to swallow, but I couldn't.
"It's not a big deal. Really I do-" I started to say thinking it was about the fight as he cut me off.
"There's a lot more to it though. I just wish I could tell you without you getting hurt."
