"Jared?"

"Anna?"

This is so surreal.. I thought he was at University? Was this all a lie too? I have to get answers.

"Where have you been all this time?" I ask running my fingers through my hair, This is all a surreal blur, and it feels Toxic to have to experience this type of hurt. Why does anyone have to deal with pain? Can't the world be a happy place without the cruel intentions and motives of others? Or is this going to be world of hurt? Hopefully nobody has to go through this much stress.

"I never went to Uni, I was staying with Liam and Michael." He points to a pair of boys. They look like polar opposites, One has flaming red hair and an eyebrow ring, And the other has his dark brown locks set in a quiff at the top of his head. They both have plenty of tattoos, but the one just looks too innocent.

"Hi." I say nervously. Even though something might spark with Harry and I, Michael is quite attractive, shit they both are. They both wave and look back to Jared.

"I knew you never went to Uni you shit, but why did you leave?"

"I hated not having freedom." He shrugs.

"I missed you." I pull him into a tight hug and look up at him.

"Did Sharon tell you?"

"Tell me what?" he raises a brow and we pull away from the hug.

"I knew the whole time, but that doesn't change anything between me and you. No matter what happened way back when you will always be my sister, never forget that."He says and I'm in tears. It's nice to know someone cared.

"Thank you So much." I cry into his shoulder and my phone buzzes.

"Who is it?" Harry and Jared ask In unison. Momentarily I had forgotten that Harry was even here.

"It's Sam." I say and out my phone back in my pocket.

"I suppose I should get back to work." Jared shrugs and I smile and give him one last hug before Me and Harry leave the establishment, Hand in hand.

"Bye boys." I say to Liam And Michael and they smile and Michael yells "Text me!" and i nod. I expect a glare from Harry but nothing came so i just carry on. If only it were that easy in other situations. I turn up the car radio and just sit back and relax until we get home. It's only fucking 12 in the afternoon and I have had a roller coaster of a morning. More like a roller coaster of a life.

.

I wake up in my bed, letting out a deep breath. Was it all a dream? Is that even possible? Is he actually gone? My head is in a million places. I check my phone and it has 3 new messages.

Harry: You fell asleep, see you tonight xx

Is it Saturday?

Sharon: I had a doctors appointment be home at 2 sharp. Love you

Okay that's bullshit for one. And two why is she at the doctors?

Unknown:It's Jared. Can we meet for coffee at 2?

I reply to his message saying yes and then I go back to Harry.

Anna: See you tonight Harbear.

Harry: Don't call me that Annabelle

Anna: You little fuck I hate my full name stop

Harry: What ANNABELLE?

Anna:No bye

Harry: NO NO IM SORRY

Anna: Fine Styles.

Harry: What time shall I come through your window?

Anna: 8. Not a minute later Rapunzel.

Harry: lmao okay

Anna: Well I have to go but i'll see you tonight

Harry: Bye love xx

Anna: Bye Bye Rapunzel.

.

I put my phone away and Lay down. i watch the hours tick by until the clock strikes 7. I get up and change into some Victoria's Secret joggers and a plain black top. I connect my phone to the speaker above my bed and put "Purpose" On shuffle. It ends up playing I'll show you, and that's my favorite song off the album.

I dance around for a bit than look at the clock. It says 7:56. Holy shit time flew by. Before i know it I hear a yell from outside my window and I burst into laughter.

"Rapunzel Rapunzel open your window it's cold as fuck." He says from outside and I laugh hysterically, probably for the first time in what feels like forever. He has made me happy and that's what friends are for? Are Harry and I even friends? Or friends with benefits...? I honestly have no clue.

"Shut up Harold and come in." I say and unlock my window and he climbs right in. Why the window? I dont know i guess i just like sneaky. He hugs me and sits down and i do the same shortly after. We talk for a little bit and have a drink here and there, but i'm not sure if i want to be intoxicated just yet. I'm in love with the feeling of security but i hate the aftermath. My relationship with Jack is bitter sweet. He loves me at night, but hates me in the morning. I need him to stay strong, so i submit myself to his regulations.

"So what now?"
"Anna. Can i ask you something?"
"Sure."
"On a scale of 1 to 10 how much do you like me?"
"I'm not sure, why?"
"You know i dont date right?"
"W-what?"
"I just don't do that kind of thing."
This took a sudden turn for the worst. I feel a familiar pain in the center of my stomach. All of the things i want to happen shatter with the remains of my sanity.
Why did i get myself into this? I knew eventually this would happen but i was so caught up in my self hate that he probably mentioned it before but i never listened. I am drowning in bitterness and theres no lifeguard to come save me.
"I should go." He says and climbs out my window, metaphorically breaking my heart and mind into a million pieces and i'm left to pick up the remains.
