Harry's Secret Sister

Chapter 18

Previously on 'Harry's Secret Sister':

"Niall? Do you really want to know what happened?" I asked him.

"If you wouldn't mind." He said and smiled at me.

"Niall, I'm trusting you to not tell anyone this, but, a couple months ago, I um, I cut..." I told him and looked down.

After my little talk with Niall, which went better than expected, I guess you could say, we all went into Niall and Liam's room and ordered room service.

I said I didn't want anything to eat, but Harry sat there and gave me a look the entire time he ate.

Everyone else was eating so I sat there and scrolled through Instagram.

"Here." Harry said and handed me his plate, his plate in which he'd eaten almost nothing making a small dent.

"No, you didn't eat yet, I just ate like an hour ago, I promise." I said and opened up my messaging app.

'I ate an hour ago, right?' I hit the send button and waited for a response from Natalia.

Niall, Liam, and Louis all sat in the little living room area where as Harry and I sat at the counter.

"Just eat it, please?" He pleaded.

"Are you hungry?" I asked.

"A little." He said.

"Then eat the food that you ordered!" I said and stood up to go sit with the boys.

"Julie, are you sure your not hungry?" Niall asked.

"Not everyone's always hungry like you Niall, I could still smell bacon when we went into the house. Therefore, she'd just eaten. Right Julie?" Liam asked. Oh shit, maybe he'd heard mine and Harry's little chat.

"Uh, right." I said with a laugh.

It's probably around ten o'clock and the boys were talking about watching a movie.

"I'm going bed." I announced and started to walk towards the door.

Harry got up and followed me to my room. Um okay?

I unlocked the door and held it open for Harry.

"Is there a reason you followed me?" I asked as I got a pair of sweatpants out of my suitcase.

"I wanted to ask you something." He told me as he sat down on the bed.

"Shoot." I said while walking into the bathroom to get changed.

Harry stood up and followed me but stopped and leaned against the doorway as I shut and locked the door.

"You know how you, um, hurt yourself?" He asked slowly.

"Yea." I said glancing down at my scars.

"Do you, also, have an eating disorder?" He asked quietly as if he was afraid of the answer.

"No, why would you think that?" I called back through the door.

"Well, you didn't eat much today, I'm worried about you. Please just let me help you." He said sounding desperate.

I opened the door not even bothering to change.

"Look, I'm just going to apologize now but you and the boys need to understand that I'm not going to open up about every little thing so easily. I need to trust you guys first. I'm sorry but that how it is. I have trust issues. I don't need help. I'm fine. I'll be fine. I'm always fine. It's okay." I told him and sat down on the bed.

"What do you mean you have to trust me first? I thought you already did trust me?" He looked at me with confusion and hurt written all over his face.

"'I promise to call everyday' I'm still waiting for my sixteenth and seventeenth birthday calls, my everyday calls, my calls to know what's going on, if your doing alright. Your my brother I would like to know what's going on." I told him my voice breaking once or twice.

"We've already talked about this. I already said I'm sorry. Can we please get past this?"

"Look, if you kept your promise, I would trust you, but you didn't, that's your problem." I said my voice getting quieter as I calmed down.

Harry rolled his eyes. He's pissed at me. Great.

"What am I doing for school?" I asked changing the subject.

"I had one of our managers call the tutor that we used a couple years back. You start tomorrow so you need to be up and ready by nine." He told me and got up to leave, but stopped after opening the door.

"I love you little sister." He reminded me and shut the door behind him.

I let out a loud sigh, grabbed the pair of clothes I was originally going to change into and headed to the bathroom.

As I walked out I received a text message, it was from Liam.

'Are you and Harry okay?' He's so sweet, checking up on me and Harry.

'Yeah, I just brought something up I shouldn't have. It's all good:)' I responded hoping it was convincing.

'That's good, did Harry tell you that you need to be ready by 9 tomorrow morning?'

'Yep! He said that your tutor was going to get me through these last few months, thank you.'

'Anything for you, Munchkin'
