Bare

Chapter Four

Leah's POV

My phone starts to go off at 2 am, and I'm angry. Over and over again. I think it's called spam. To shut who ever it is up, I pull out my phone from my worn out jean shorts that I forgot to change out of, and read the first text in there.

BLOCKED NUMBER: Come to your room.

I use my phone as a flashlight and make sure everybody is asleep, and I see one empty. Harry. I stumble off the couch and trip over Liam, but he stays asleep. My phone is my best friend right now, helping my climb up the stairs and walk over the crap in the middle of the hallway. And there is Harry, sitting on my bed. "What are you doing dimwit?" I laugh. He gets up, and he hugs me. "Harry, what are you-" I get cut of by his lips on mine. It's just little, but so full of meaning, almost, hurt. "Why did you do that?" I ask, feeling his body warmth, my cheeks getting hot. He still knows how to sweep me off my feet. "I knew it would be the last time. I had to do it." He explains. I shake my head. "Harry, I still love you. You made some crappy mistakes that I hated you for, but I still have feeling for you," I tell him, pulling him into a passionate kiss, more passionate than they were when we were dating. His eyes light up. "You mean, you'll take me back?" He exclaims. "No, Harry. Niall asked me on a date and I'm going to go through with it, and if we get along we will be dating, so just be happy for us. Just remember, I still love you. But I can't. " I say, shaking my head and backing away. "I just can't." I mutter, walking out of the room and going back downstairs, getting under the small blanket I have on the couch. I don't see Harry come out of there the whole time I'm awake.

Harry's POV

It's easy to say that Leah drove me insane last night. The way she kissed me, oh my, I miss that. But right now she is over there cuddling with Niall while the rest of us finish our lunch. When the girls finish putting all the dishes in the sink, Zayn and Petrie get up on chairs and There's no telling why. "We have an announcement," Petrie exclaims, obviously excited. We are all facing her, much like everyone was facing Leah on her birthday. Beanie is barking, but Leah holds him so she can here Zayn and Perrie. "We are engaged!" The say together, but Zayn is mostly looking at Leah. They both look dead inside, after what happened with the initials and all, but you can see Zayn is obviously happy and Leah is excited for them, just jealous I suppose. She gets up and walks to her room, and this time, no one follows her. But Zayn.

Zayn's POV

"Leah, let me explain." I say, walking into her room, She is holding the razor, but hasn't done anything. "GIVE ME THAT!" I scream, grabbing it out of her hand. I soften up when I see her scared face, but I throw the razor out the open window.

"I know we had something. I know I shouldn't have led you on because I was dating Perrie, and with the initials on your wrist," I go on, but she stops me, "Congratulations, anyways. You were just the one I would always turn to, before I met you even. I would watch your videos or mention you on twitter or go to a meet and greet. And it's hard knowing that I was wrong, you didn't love me." She explains, looking at her bare, scarred wrists. "But I did, and I still do." I tell her, putting my hand on her shoulder. She gives me a legendary Leah hug, and leaves the room. When I look out the door, I see her and Harry playing with beanie. I don't care what I said before, those two are perfect for each other, and Niall is only in the way.
