~CHAPTER 22~

Harry was out, god knows where, I think with management or something. I wanted to do something, so I had invited Leydon over.

I made us some tomato soup and buttered bread and we sat down on the couch. We had almost finished when my phone began to ring. It was a private number.

It was probably one of those stupid salesman.

"Hi, Im not interetsed in your stupid produc--" I began, but was cut off.

"Hello Zoe." The deep voice said.

I froze.

I couldn't breathe.

I recognised that voice anywhere.

I quickly hung up.

He called back, I declined. And a text came through.

'Answer my calls now, or you'll regret it xoxo'

Lyndon was staring at me. "Who is it?"

I ignored Lyndon as He called again, and I answered. I had to. I was scared of him. I knew what he was capable of.

"H-hi" I stammered.

"How nice to speak to you again. Been a good few years eh?"

"How did you get m-my nu-number"

"Easy darling, easy. I know where you are. I'm in London too. Not too far away from you and Lyndon to be honest. I'll be coming to see you soon, and you can live with me, yes?"

"No."

"What did you just say to me? DON'T say no to me! You dont have much choice darling!"

"B-bye" I mumbled.

"Bye, see you soon baby." His voice cackled, and the line went dead.

"Zoe, who was that?" Lyndon asked warily.

"It's dad. And he's coming to get us."

Lyndon was shocked too.

What was he doing?

How did he find us?

What do we do?

I started to panic and I couldn't breathe properly. I ran my hand through my hair and sighed. I can't tell Harry. I mean, what is he going to do?

I put my head in my hands. My mind started to hurt from all the thoughts that were rushing through my head. What is he doing doing here in London.

"Zoe it will be okay. We will be okay."

My head snapped up as an idea popped in my head.

I'm not going to be in London. Tomorrow the tour's starting so I'll be moving around!

"Lyndon, I'm leaving London tomorrow anyway! For the tour! You have to come with us!"

"I won't be allowed."

"If we explain to Simon, I'm sure he will understand." I said, ringing him.

I didn't need to explain to Simon. I just said I couldn't leave my brother alone and he thankfully agreed.

I ran to my room and made sure everything was packed and ready, which it was, and Lyndon went home to pack his stuff.

I heard Harry come in and I casually sat down on the sofa, scrolling through twitter on my phone.

"Everything alright?" He asked.

"Yeah, Lyndons coming with us on tour by the way."

"Oh that's great! Is Simon cool with it?"

"Yes, why wouldn't he be?" I asked. I probably sounded quite rude, but I was just panicky.

"I was only asking! Gawd! You just seem a little stressed, thats all."

I shrugged, and he sighed, rolling his eyes.

"Why do I even try with you?"

"Excuse me?" I asked, frowning.

"You're being annoying."

"Well, why did you kiss me then? And this contract is over after the tour anyway, so you don't have to put up with me for much longer!" I snapped.

"What? the contract is not over yet, It's meant to last at least two years, and it's only been several months idiot," Harry smirked, "oh, and I felt sorry for you."

"Well I'm calling it off. I'm telling management right now."

"Fine, I will too, put it on speaker" He ordered.

I put the phone on speaker and rang management. We told them we had too many disagreements, and management agreed to pay me at the end of the tour and let us break up.

"Can't wait." I smirked.

"Me either, a few more weeks together, and then I never have to see you again!" Harry grinned.

I scowled at him before he headed to our bedroom.

I didn't mean anything I said. I quite liked fake dating him. I didn't want the contract to end, and I can't believe it was my fault.

I had fallen for Harry.

I just didn't want to admit it. Yet.
