Have Faith In Me

Chapter Five.

Chapter Five--

"Did you have a good time today?", Anne asks as she pulls into the driveway.

"I did. Thank you for everything."

"It was my pleasure sweetie." We both get out of the car and grab our bags from the trunk.

"Lets get all these bags inside before Rob comes home, and has a fit over all the money I spent." She laughs walking through the door.

"I'm going to go put my things away. Thank you again for all of this."

"You're welcome. I'm going to go ahead and start dinner."

I make my way up to my bedroom and drop my bags at the foot of my bed. I fall back onto the mound of pillows and pull out the new iPhone Anne bought me. She has already added her number along with Rob and Harry's. I pull out the crumpled napkin, that Zayn had given me earlier, from my pocket. I add his number along with his address into my phone.

"This is my new number. -Ella."

I send him a text before placing my phone on my bedside table and forcing myself to get up, who would have thought that shopping would tire you out so much.

I hear a knock on my door while I am hanging up my new clothes.

"Its open."

I turn to see Harry walking in a smile on his face.

"Oh hi." I'm surprised to see him, I was expecting Anne.

"Hey", he awkwardly shoves his hands in his pockets, "whoa, I'm assuming the shopping trip went well?" he laughs, as he looks at the almost empty bags and my nearly full closet.

"Yeah. Your mom is really cool."

"Technically she is your mom now too." He plops himself down on my bed.

I nod, "Yeah, guess so."

I hang the last of my tops, and move over to fold my jeans and place them in my dresser. What does he want?

"Sooo...." I look back at him.

"I um. I just wanted to make sure you were okay."

Um what? Why wouldn't I be okay. I stop folding and turn to face him.

"You know, after last night.", he explains when I don't say anything. Oh.

"I didn't mean to scare you, but I heard you calling out a name.."

I swear my heart stopped before it began to work double time. Who did I call out for this time?

"Who's Claire?" he asks.

My head snaps up as the name falls from his lips. I can feel my chest becoming tight and the tears sting my eyes. I turn around quickly, Harry does not need to see me like this. No one gets to see me like this. I quickly wipe my eyes and continue to fold my jeans.

"Ella?" Harry's voice makes me jump at how close it was, right behind me. I hadn't heard him get up from my bed.

He turned me around to face him but I quickly shrug his hands off me.

"No one. Claire is no one." I keep my eyes on him, refusing to let him see me go weak.

"But I heard you, you were screaming Im so-", I cut him off.

"She is no one. I don't know why I was screaming. I was asleep. I don't know who Claire is." I say through my teeth. I push past him and grab my phone off the nightstand.

"I don't believe you." He crosses his arms over his chest.

What? Who the fuck does he think he is?
