"Whoa girly," Harry said as he wrapped his arms around my waist, restraining me from doing any more damage. Poor girl didn't even know what was coming until my fist was in her mouth.
"Okay, time to go!" I heard Emily intervene.
I finally came to my senses and looked around at my newfound friends. They all sat, staring at me, mouths agape and ready to catch flies. My face tingled, letting me know that it was turning red.
Emily snapped everyone out of their trance and herded them out of the restaurant like we were her sheep.
Zayn decided he wanted to drive. No one argued, since, I was in no condition to do it myself and I kind of needed Em at the moment. So, we gave Zayn the address and Harry sat in the front passenger seat. Louis followed us in my car as Zayn followed the directions that his iPhone gave him.
We were driving and I was finally beginning to calm down, when suddenly, I heard Emily attempt to stop Zayn, "No, don't go that wa-"
Too late. I caught a glimpse of the one place that I never wanted to see again. We always avoided this street on our way home, just because we didn't want to pass this building.
Before I knew it, tears were streaming down my face and I was sobbing uncontrollably. Zayn abruptly pulled the car over and Harry immediately got out, opened my door, and pulled me into a tight hug. Emily slid out after me and it turned into a group hug. The only thing missing was the fact that Harry had no idea why I was crying.
Maybe that's why I was starting to develop feelings for him. He's seen me at some of my most vulnerable points in life. He has no idea what the heck my problem is, but he keeps helping me anyways. He's always right there, comforting me, saving my life, anything, just because I'm upset.
It's a shame he doesn't reciprocate my feelings. He is an international pop star. He has no reason to like me at all. So, that leaves me, stuck here, falling in love with someone who doesn't even know it. Gosh, why is my life so complicated?
I finally calmed down enough to thank Harry, "Thank you. For everything. You didn't have to do that, you know."
"Sure I did, remember? 'I was walking past and saw that a beautiful girl was crying and I decided to stop and see what was wrong,'" he quoted himself with a sad smirk. Why is he so lovely?
I gave him a weak chuckle and got back in the car. We found Zayn with his face in the crook of his arm on the steering wheel. He locked eyes with me when he heard me open the door and I could tell that he was ready to cry. I felt bad, but I had no way of comfort other than an "it's okay" look. Zayn looked like he felt almost a little better and asked what happened, but I kind of just brushed his questioning off and let Em cover for me, "It's nothing. Just...hormones."
"Ohhh," Harry and Zayn simultaneously sighed and let the subject drop. I hated that we had to lie to them. I especially hated lying to Harry. But, it had to be done. I was not ready to share that part of my life with anyone. Emily was the only one who knew, the only one I could open up to about it. I just couldn't speak - or even think, for that matter - about it without bursting into tears.
When we finally got back home, I was so emotionally and physically drained that I just planned on taking a nap in my own bed. Harry surprised me by opening the car door for me and protectively draping his arm around me.
"Well, I think I'm going to go and take a nap now," I exasperatedly let everyone know. "I'm exhausted."
Harry walked me to my room and kissed my temple for reassurance. When I finally got comfortable, he slowly turned to start walking away. But, before he even got the chance, I grabbed his wrist, causing him to pivot back and look at me expectantly.
"Stay," was all that I whispered for him to lay down with me. Harry's arms were snaked around my torso as unconscious slowly caressed my mind.
