Breath

chapter 31-tie and brief case

I hear the door open and I turn to see my dad walk in, breif case in hand and his tie still tight around his neck, but his jacket is on straight, his hair is combed nicely, he even looks well rested.

"hello ebony." he says suprised to see me, then sets his brief case fown next the door along with his shoes.

the tension like thick fog, making everything uncomfortable.

"hi." I say quietly and then I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket.

please be harry.

niall.

"Hello?" I ask

"eb. he won't talk to anyone. can you come over?"

"I'm home." I say

"then come over."

"no niall. like I'm home home. like hours away home. harry kicked me out."

silence on the phone.

"God dammit. I'm gunna kill him." he says then ends the call.

"marcel kicked you out?" my dad asked tusling his hair.

"uhm. yeah."

not now dad.

he nods and leaves the room.

why the he'll is he even here? what happened to the divorce?

I walk into the kitchen, my dad grabbing my mums butt, and they're they making out.

"What the hell?!" I snap in disgust.

the look up, shocked to see me there.

"I'm gone for the summer and I come back and mum, you let him stay? how?!"

"ebony, listen..."

"no! you're both being stupid." I snap and run up to my room.

what is happening?! everyone I love just flips around and isn't the same.

I crash onto my bed burring my scream into the pillow and the sobs come. I feel like I'm 16 again. except if I was 16, Harry would be here to comfort me.

I've been home a week. a long miserable week, locking myself in my room.until I pull out my phone to messages from eleanor, louis again, stacey, and links to news, and websites talking about the latest.

"harry styles and girlfriend. tearful breakup."
"moving out or kicked out?!"
"the couple of the summer done for good?"

and each one has the pictures of harry leaving crying then me leaving, bags in hand a wreck as well. then I call eleanor.

"oh my god, how are you?!" she asks the moment she answers.

"uhm. I've been better."

"niall said you went home, but harry has been acting wierd. " she says with a sigh, and I know exactly what I need to do.
