Chapter 27: Truth to be Unfolded
Avery
“Harry, is that really you?” I asked. I was surprised to find him here especially during these times. He didn’t answer me instead; he darted towards me and engulfed me into a tight hug. I wasn’t expecting his hug, heck I didn’t even expect him to be here. I stiffened upon his touch; I almost forgot how good he smells, the way the butterflies in my stomach erupt, and how comfortable it feels to be near him. This kind of proximity was all I needed, it was what I was yearning for these past few days. He let go of his hold and didn’t even bother to smile. He looked stressed and worried; you can see the evidence through those bags under his beautiful eyes. At last, he gave me a weak smile but it wasn’t enough for me. I led him to our couch and he began to cry. He was such a beautiful human being, it pains me to see him cry. He began his story, how they planned everything, what kind of connivance they made and what really was the truth. I didn’t know what to do, I feel numb. I know that I should be mad at them for what they’ve done, but I know that I couldn’t. I could handle the truth and I could handle my anger. I understood them because I know that love made them blind and it wasn’t their fault. They just wanted to be loved, to feel love from me. I understand Perrie too because no matter how hard we try to deny, he was her first love and we can’t just erase that in her heart. I tried to put myself in their shoes; I think I’ll do the same thing too. But in the end, I can’t feel anything but hurt and it came from Zayn. He wasn’t aware of their plan and yet, he did it. His part didn’t have any script but he chose to play as the pawn. But then again, I couldn’t just blame him. After all, the both of us were just doing acting for the management; I should not fall for him. Maybe he was still into her. It made me smile how silence can be so beautiful yet scary. We stayed like this for what seems like forever and it was kind of comfortable for the both of us.
“Avery-“
“Harry-“
We said at the same time and that caused us to laugh a little. He let me speak first so I had to say my words very carefully. “Harry, I don’t blame you. I’m not mad at you or to the boys. To be honest, I don’t know what I really feel right now.” I said and he looks appalled. “You’re not mad? But we made you look like a fool. You should be happy in Zayn’s arms right now if we didn’t do it to you.” He explained and I shook my head while laughing to myself. “Harry, I’m not planning to be with him right now. He had his choice but he stick with what we think is wrong. It was his decision and I respect him for that.” I told him and he looks so puzzled with me. “You’re such an amazing person, Avery and any guy would be lucky to have you.” It was all he could say. I hugged him again and it was a good kind of feeling. I feel lightweight, like a huge metal was lifted from my back. I felt relieved and happy in Harry’s arms. I lifted my head to face this pretty boy in front of him and he was smiling.
We stayed like this until the door opened and Damon rushed in. We let go of each other and Damon wasn’t looking quite happy with what he had just witnessed. He shook his head, “Avery, what’s the meaning of this? I thought you were supposed to be mad at them?”, he said and I sighed. “I’m not mad, Damon. Harry told me everything I needed to know and it was enough for me.” I replied. “I’ll leave you two in a jiffy.” Harry whispered in my ear and walked out of the room. “Avery, I thought we had something.” Damon said and hurt was visible in his eyes. “Damon, whatever we had, that was nothing.” I told him truthfully. I wasn’t expecting a door to be closed right in front of my face but I guess I deserved it. I walked out of the house and saw Harry sitting on the porch. He looked at me and he was smiling like he heard a joke. “The bloke left you, right?”, I nodded and he took hold of my hand. This tiny action made me blush and I tried my best to hide it. Deep inside, I still feel something for Harry; it was quite obvious. “Don’t worry, Av. You don’t need him to be happy. You have me, the boys, the management and your family.” He said and I smiled. He was right. Harry smirked at me while holding my hand. I furrowed my eyebrows which caused him to smirk even more.
“Avery, I think you should need to go home with me now.”, he suggested and I gulped.
Am I ready for this?
