-Escape-

Chapter 12

 I woke up with my arms pulled around me for warmth, Harry had seemingly taken all of the covers last night when I decided to sleep on the other side of the bed. Almost on que I feel the soft duvet come in contact with my skin and I let out a sigh. Suddenly I open my eyes as I remember who I am sleeping with. I was still very far away from him, but my face was facing his. He had moved closer to me and had been awake far a while now.

“Good morning beautiful” he said in a groggy voice with a smile on his face, as if the terible events of last night hadnt even happened at all.

“Hi” I replied getting up, desperate to look at something besides his eyes. Although Harry had done something wrong, I felt like I owed him an apoligy too, one that i was not willing to give. It wasn't the pride that was getting in my way, I really had none left after what had happened, it was just the idea of talking to him that sickened me.

I began down the hallway and Harry was quickly at my side. He walks me down the stairs, standing directly next to me as if I might fall over or run away at any moment. Once I reach the bottom stepthe smell of eggs and toast fill my nose, but they dont bring a smile to my face like they might have yesterday.

“Thanks” I say sitting down and eating the eggs.

I hear laughing in the living room. I turn around to meet a familiar pair of dark brown eyes. Zayn smiles at me and I smile back for the first time since last night. He looked bruised up, the cut he had on his forehead looked much better but it was still quite noticable. I cringed as I got a better view of his arms which were practically all purple now. My view of Zayn was instantly cut off when Harry rushed in front of me. My smile fades; I turn around and eat the eggs not wanting to look at him anymore. He is quickly at my side.

“Are you mad at me?” he asks

I laugh causing some of the egg to fall from my fork. “What do you think?” I ask.

Harry nods and takes a step back.

I guess that now I felt a little less scared of Harry because I know that the boys will protect me. Zayn tried his best last night, and I did feel safe around him now, but he just wasn't any compotition for Harry and that scared me even more.

“How can I make it up to you?” he asks as I finish off the eggs and start on the toast.

He wants to make it up to me?

Does he feel bad?

No, I’m mad at him. I have to stay mad at him. I have to show him that if he is gong to hurt people that Im going to block him out. That kiss with Zayn was to quick to know if I like him like that or not, but when I am around him I just feel safe, and I like it.

I  snap myself back into reality and narrow my eyes at the boy in front of me “You cant” I say finishing the toast and getting up.

“Oh come on Jade don’t act like that it’s not even a big deal.”

I stop in my tracks and turn around.

“Not a big deal? Why don’t you tell Zayn that?” I ask.

Harry turns around to see that all the boys are watching us including a very bruised Zayn. His eyes wouldn't meet mine, not with Harry watching him which did put a little hole in the bubble of saftey that I though Zayn could provide.

Harry coughs. “Jade can we please just-“

“You don’t even have to decency to apologize!” I complained motioning towards the Zayn who wasnt moving, just staring at the floor as all the other boys were.

Harry takes a deep breath and turns back to the boys. “Zayn?” he asks.

“Yeah?”  Zayn answered quickly, wanting to get this ove with just like everyone else in the room.
