Broken

Chapter 8

I let out a shriek and dropped the razor, moving back and letting out a heavy breath when I was it was Harry. He frowned, crossing his arms as he watched me freak out.

"What the fuck, man?!" I breathed out, trying to steady my pulse.

"What?" Harry asked, his eyes blank as he regarded me.

"Have you not heard of knocking?" I hissed, watching him as he leaned over and picked up the razor.

"You left your door open, so I came in to check if Olly had gotten you back in. I saw you, standing in your bathroom, inspecting your razor," he explained calmly, slipping the razor into his back pocket.

"I don't care! You could've knocked. And I wasn't going to do anything."

He rolled his eyes and stepped forward, pushing me out of the way and picking up the 2 other razors. I frowned and watched him; it was then that I noticed his nose was bleeding.

"Er, Harry?"

He looked at me, a frown on his features as he looked for anything else he could confiscate from me. 

"Your nose. Why's it bleeding?"

He straightened himself up and wiped the back of his hand across his nose. "That is none of your business."

"I don't care, why were you-"

"That is none of your business." He repeated, his voice firmer.

I bit my lip, knowing it wasn't worth asking him again. "Why are you here?"

"Like I said before, I came to make sure you were in here. Olly can be quite ditzy." Harry's lips curled upwards and he smiled. I caught it in the mirror and he met my eye. He straightened his face quickly, and cleared his throat.

"I should get going." He declared, glancing at the cupboard one more time to make sure there was nothing else in there.

"Night..." I said. i had expected him to say goodbye, or turn around and acknowledge me, but he walked out of the bathroom.

I stayed in there for a minute or so and sighed, remembering I hadn't showered. I decided to shower tomorrow morning before class and made my way out. I almost had a second heart when I saw Harry was leaning on the wall, examining my room.

"Uh, hello?" I asked, frowning as he looked up at me.

"I feel like I didn't say goodnight properly, so goodnight."

I smiled at him as he rubbed his neck, unsure of what to say. "Goodnight, Harry."

"I'll see you in English."

I waved at him, and he did something unexpected. He leaned forward and kissed my cheek. I smiled and he nodded at me before walking out.

The next morning I couldn't help but smile as I left my dorm. I texted Autumn, arranging to meet her in the hall. As if on cue, she stood there, smiling at me.

"Brenna!" She screeched.

"Shhh!" I widened my eyes. 

"What?"

"Be quiet, it's early and some people don't have classes."

Autumn smirked, shrugging as she began to walk down to class. "I hope no one knows it was me."

I laughed at her and I decided to walk her down to her art class, since her class started ten minutes before I was due to be in our English class. We rounded the corner and I was smiling at her impression of her art teacher when I saw something that slapped the smile right off of my face.

A girl, a girl with flamboyant red (dyed) hair was leant against the wall. Her face was partially blocked by the tall figure that was leant against her, his arm propped up above her shoulder. I recognised the tattoos straight away. It was Harry. His head was bent down and they were muttering things to each other, their lips very close.

My breath caught in my throat but Autumn seemed oblivious to it, gasping at the girl. "Alina! Your hair?!"

Both Harry and the girl turned around to face Autumn. The girl was very pretty indeed, she had bright green eyes and a tiny nose, and her lips were painted red and her lips parted into a grin, only to reveal a set of perfect teeth. They were a light shade of white, and she looked over at Autumn.

Harry turned around, obviously irratated that him and Alina's session had been ruined. He eyed Autumn and rolled his eyes. My breathing increased as I remember how less than 24 hours before we had been kissing, how he had given me his jacket and how he had come to check up on me. It was at that moment, when I imagined how his lips had felt when they were on mine, that his eyes fell on me. His face softened and he stepped away from Alina.

Alina and Autumn were too busy talking about Alina's hair colour for them to notice. Harry watched me calmly, waiting for me to react. I stood still and turned to Autumn. 

"I-I'm gonna go. Don't wanna be late," I laughed, a laugh so fake it made me cringe. "See you after class."

She smiled at me, although she did look a little suspicious she let me go. 

I turned around and power walked to my English class, knowing that Harry had this class with me. I sat down at the back and cringed, hiding my face in my hands. I had done something very stupid, I had let myself fall for Harry. As much as I thought he was stupid and I hated him, there was no denying I had feelings for him. But, of course, I meant nothing to him.
