Meeting The Lads

Chapter 15

I skip the page and shuffle through others. I couldn't stand seeing, thinking, or hearing about her. The sight of her made me wanna hurl. Veronica Summers.

"Skylar! What's wrong? She auditioned for X-factor and she's my friend." He tells me. I just nod my head and close the book.

"I know I just..." I get cut off by the doorbell, the food is here.

"Here's the money, ill get plates and silver wear." He says handing me a fifty dollar bill. I walk myself to the front door and unlock it. It's not the food though. It's Luke.

"What are you doing here? How do you know where Harry lives?" I ask him. Really frustrated right now. Luke has no right to be making more fucking problems in my life. I just wanted one day with Harry. One perfect date.

"Don't worry about that, you're coming back home with me." He says touching my arm. I jerk it away and my mouth falls from his words.

"You have no right doing this!" I tell him not wanting Harry to get involved.

"Oh yes I do, I told your mom that you were hanging out with some bad boy."

"Are you shitting with me right now Luke?! You told my mom?" I tell to him. He has no right and it's not like I was letting Harry try anything on me. Gosh, I've never seen him so jealous.

"Skylar listen to me it's your own-"

"Everything alright here? And why is he here?" Harry asks.

"Everything is perfectly..." Luke says but I don't let him continue.

"Not fine, everything is not fine Harry. He told my mom that I was hanging out with you and he thinks he has the right to take me back home with him today! I want to stay here though!" I say and see Harry with a small grin showing on his face. Luke glares at Harry and steps in the house grabbing my arm.

"Get away from her!" Harry yells at Luke grabbing me buy the waist, protecting me from Luke. Harry's arm muscles stiffen in his position and he holds me tight.

"Let go of my best friend! Skylar this isn't the environment you should be in! Just come back home with me and Ebony." He whines, a tear streaming down his face.

"Luke you have to leave. I'm sorry" I say getting out of Harry's grasp and pushing Luke's chest as he walks his way out of the door.

"Skylar." He says but it's too late. The door closes and I put my back to it. I close my eyes and a tear streams down my face. I can't believe I just did that to Luke... For Harry. I feel Harrys arms wrap around me and tighten. I wrap my arms around his waist and dig my head in his lower neck, chest almost. I let myself cry in Harry's sleeve. I never want to leave this position. Harry's curls brush against my head as he turns his to face me.

"You okay?" He asks. Our faces are less than an inch apart and his raspy voice is taking over my mind and I can't seem to think but I manage to get out an, "I guess."

"It's going to be alright Sky. I mean Skylar." He laughs.

"No, it's okay, call me Sky." I say to him, not really caring what nickname he gives me at the moment. The doorbell rings and I turn around to make sure it's the food, through the little hole. Harry, still hovering over me, unlocks the door and takes the money off of the ledge where I had put it. He hands the man the money and takes the big brown paper bag with the food. I make my way to the bathroom and wash my face. I take a look in the mirror and then I wash my face a bit harder, scrubbing more around my eyes where a little eyeliner had still been left.

"It's ready love!" Harry says poking his head in the bathroom.

"Alright I say and flick the light off.
