Chapter 4

I moved and tried opening my eyes as I only saw brightness. Nothing but white. Minutes passed and I could see everything again, and I'm in my room. 

I was also sweating. 

I looked at my phone and checked what time it was and it was already eight in the morning. I held onto my head, as I completely tried to remember what I can of how I got home last night. We had girls night, and I walked home alone, and-

"Bloody hell," I said as I remembered almost being violated last night. But how did I get home then? Maybe it was all just a dream, a frightening dream.

I heard a knock on my door as I stared at it blankly for a moment until I heard the knock again.

"coming," I said as I opened it and saw Harry standing.

"Ava," he said.

"Harry..." was all I could think of, as I gave him a warm smile. "yes?" I asked him as he ran a hand through his hair.

"It's time for breakfast." he said. I can't believe he made breakfast. Great way to start the day.

"Okay, I'll just clean up a bit." he nods.

Afterwards, I got out of my room and made my way to the kitchen and I was surprised. He made my favorite food for breakfast, eggs and bacon. 

"Wow, it smells really good in here."

"Thanks," he said as I smiled it off. 

"This tastes so good, Harry." He thanked me again and tried not to get caught but I kept on catching him looking at me.

"Is there something on my face?" he looked up at me.

"W-what?" He stuttered, not having an idea of how I already caught him too many times.

"You've been looking at me though for quite sometime now," I giggled.

"No, I wasn't," he defended.

"Yeah, you weren't looking," sarcasm was now in my voice.

"I-I got to go, got some errands. Just leave the dishes there and I'll wash it up later," and by that he stood up as I heard a door close up. 

I sighed again. I ended up washing and went straight to the bathroom and took a bath. I needed a long one.

--

I went straight to the nearest coffee shop I could find and spent my time freeing myself up with everything in my mind. I ordered a chocolate mint coffee and a slice of red velvet cake. I tried so hard to get the memories from last night out of my head and just stay far away from it but so far,  I've been getting headaches. I thought it was only a dream but why does it feel so real? Like everything from last night really did happen.

So I went straight home and thought about calling my sister. I just hope she answers. It rang twice and there was already an answer.

"Ava? Hey, we miss you so much already." Luke said as we said hi to each other.

"Where's M?" I asked.

"Oh, she'll be out in a minute. She's getting ready for movie night."

"Oh, you guys are going out tonight?"

"Right now, actually. Why, are you okay?"

"Oh, it's nothing actually. I just called in to say hi to you both. I -- just tell her I miss you both and I love you guys. Bye.''

"We miss you more, babe. Hope everything's fine there, love ya."

"Bye, take care and keep safe for me. Thanks." And I turned it off.

I guess I should just forget about it and take another bath. So I entered the bathroom and the water was already running. 

''Oh, Harold.'' I thought to myself. He must have forgotten the water running. I unwrapped myself and opened the shower curtain, and went in. I finally cooled down as I could breathe normally again. I turned around and saw Harry naked as I jumped in shock, making us both fall, butt first.

"Oh my--"

"What the hell, Avalyn, wh--?"

I covered up as fast as I could and so did he.

"I didn't hear you!" He said.

"Oh my god, I'm sorry. I didn't even hear you too. I just thought you forgot the water so I just went in. Jesus, Harry." I was trembling in shock.

"Alright, fine." He finally said as he thought of something.

"Let's just finish what we started here," as he walked towards me.

"Harry, what are you doing? No." I walked backwards as I started hearing him laugh. I was confused.

"Why are you laughing?" my eyes getting teary.

"You think I'm gonna just take advantage of you? I mean look at yourself, why would I waste my time with you?" He said as I could feel tears stream down my face.

"You know what? Piss off." And I did end up crying in front of him, which I really hated so much. I know I'm weak but I don't really need anyone to rub it in my face. I walked away and went straight to my room. I stayed there all day until I fell asleep.
