I watched as Skye walked away, the exact same face Harry had. What was going on? Who did i run after first. Harry, Skye was my sister she would talk to me in her own time, Harry however i wasn't sure would. I left Josh standing there as i ran down the shop to where Harry was standing. He watched me run towards him but made no effort to acknowlage me.

'Harry? Why'd you walk away from me like that?' i asked him, reaching out to hold his hands but he shifted away, only slightly but i still flinched back hurt.

'I'm only gonna ask you one, have you got something going on with Josh?' he asked me, showing no emotion. I was shocked, how could he possibly even consider thinking that?

'Of course not!' i gasped

'You sure? You seemed pretty cosy with him here?' he said. Something by the way he was talking to me scared me, usually our arguments where all shouting and me shoving him, tears and throwing things, that was what i knew, this was different, no emotion. I didn't know how to act, obviously i couldn't tell him what Josh had told me, that wasn't my secret to tell.

'Harry, you know i don't like him like that' i whispered.

'No, Ariel, i don't know' he said before pushing past me and walking away. He left me standing there in the refrigarator isle and i looked around before grabbing a tub of the chocolate brownie ice cream before walking towards the check out. Thoughts where running through my head, had he just dumped me? I couldn't even think about it, obviously me and harry where always on and off, but i always knew where i stood with him, but now he'd just left me in the unknown and that was possibly the worst part, either that or knowing there was nothing i could do about it. I saw Skye, Niall and Josh up ahead but no sight of Harry. i gulped and made my way over to where they where. Skye turned her back on me but Josh gave me a sympathetic smile

'Wheres Harry?' i managed to croak out, not really trusting me voice

'He's in the car' Josh replied. I nodded handing him my ice cream

'I'll be in the car' i whispered, before walking towards the door. Outside it was still raining but i barely noticed as i made my way across the now empty car park towards the daunting car. I didn't want to be in the car anymore then i wanted to be in the supermarket. Eventually though, i reached it and i climbed in. Harry didn't look at me as i climbed in. I wasn't sure where i should sit, if i should say something. I decided keeping my mouth shut was the best and i climbed into the front seat and sat there in silence watching the rain pour down outside of the car untill the doors opened and skye and niall and josh climbed in. The drive home was awkward and quiet and as i soon as i got into the house i ran upstairs and climbed straight into bed. This was weird, of course pretty much everyone else in the house had been mad at me at some point or another, but Skye, i'd always had her to rely on but now? I wasn't sure. A few hours later Skye tiptoed in and slid into bed next to me.

'Skye?' i whispered but no reply came. I let out a sob now, she really did hate me. No matter how much i wanted to stop, try crying wouldn't cease though eventually Skye spoke up

'Ariel, are you okay?' she whispered. i turned over slowly to face and her and i shook my head sobbing hard. she pulled me into a hug

'What's wrong?' she asked me

'You and Harry hate me' i replied

'I don't hate you' she promised me. I nodded

'You know nothings going on with me and Josh' i told her

'That's not what it looked like earlier' she replied letting go off me now

'Skye he was crying because he still likes you!' i told her. She blinked back shocked

'What?' she asked me

'Like its not obvious' i giggled. She smiled lightly now

'I'm sorry ariel' she admitted

'I'm sorry too' i replied

'And why is Harry mad at you?' she asked me

'He thinks the same thing you thoguht' i told her simply. She nodded, there wasn't much left to say so i shut my eyes allowing myself to fall asleep, happier now that i knew i had my sister back at least.
