Jamie's POV
I've been in a hotel room for 3 days. I've been getting calls and texts from Niall,Avery,and Harry. But I don't answer any. I haven't looked at my phone at all I just hear the constant beeping telling me I had gotten a text. Or the vibration of calls. I just decided to turn my phone completely off. I walked over and had my finger above the power button when a call came in that wasn't Harry or Avery or Niall. It was Anne? I answered it and brought the phone to my ear "hello?" I ask as I hear a sigh "Jamie honey! Oh thank goodness your ok! I've been worried sick about you" I smile and lay down on the bed "thanks Anne" I say with my real smile coming out "honey where have you been? The three have been trying non stop to find you. That's all I hear them talk about" I sigh and run my fingers through my hair "good to know they care" I say a bit emotionless "honey I know this is personal but did something happen between you and Harry?" She asks. I fall back on the bed "yeah he's been going out to see Maddie every time he's out" I explain "oh I'm so sorry but I'm just worried for Harry" she says making me question "what's wrong with Harry?" I ask "the day you left he fought some random people and came home all bloody and bruised. Then he's been in his room for the past two days. When I pass by I can't help but hear him crying his little heart out" hearing that tugged at my heart a bit even though it shouldn't. Why is he crying? I'm the one who's got cheated on! "I'm sorry" I shrug "listen honey, I'm not gonna get into your business but I can't stand the thought of you being somewhere with no company or fresh food in the morning. Now you don't have to come out your room or be forced to speak to Harry but it would calm my nerves if you came back and stayed in the guest room" she said with a plead in her voice. I sighed. Should I? "How could you want me in your home when your son probably hates me?" I ask with my throat growing a lump that's been there for the past 3 days of never ending crying. "He does not hate you,Jamie. I know my baby. He just gets lost at times doing what he thinks is best. Whatever he did he might've thought he was doing the right thing. And your like a daughter to me and I would never let you off by yourself with no warm bed and home cooked meal" I hear the smile in her voice making me smile. "I'll be over in about an hour" I say sighing "thank you dear. I can stop fearing a heart attack" she jokes. At least I hope "I'll see you in a bit" "ok bye" she says as I hang up. I lay on my back. Can I really go back to my ex boyfriends house? Who knows how much I'll uncover he did when I was being fooled.
Why was he crying? He cheated on me not the other way around. And why do those 3 care where I am? It doesn't make sense. I swear if I go there and Maddie and Harry are making out on the couch, I'll be the one with a heart attack scare.
Harry's POV
It's all my fault,it's all my fault,it's all my fault, I repeat over and over in my head. I NEVER cry. I'll be seen as a pansy. But Jamie being gone with practically no trace scares me and makes me sad. I was still sore for getting my self into that rumble.
I ended up with some bruises and stitches on my arm. Just a scar that's not so big but feels weird. I was sitting on my bed with no tv on. Only the sounds of my thoughts. I had a pillow cuddled to the front of my arms trying to fill the missing spot that I ached so desperately for.
C'mon Harry! Your sounding like a wuss. Since when have you ever cared about loosing a girl? You could get a new one in no time
My conscious spoke.
It's different. I promised myself to this girl and she promised me herself. Because we love each other. Well, loved.
Who cares? Go and find a new one you 'promise' yourself too
It's not that easy! I still love her and when I see her I will always fall harder.
Suddenly I hear a knock on my door "Harry?" I look over to my mum "yes?" I ask turning so I'm facing her "listen honey, I know you and Jamie had,a fall out. And you feel sad about it-" "I didn't cheat on her!" I raise my voice accidentally "I'm sorry" I apologize running my fingers through my hair "it's ok. Anyway I was gonna say that I got ahold of Jamie-" I jumped off my bed and towered my mother as I held her shoulders "you did?! Is she ok? Where is she? I can go pick her up and-" "no Harry. Listen, I told Jamie she could still live here. She should be here in an hour or so. I told her she was able to stay in her room and wasn't forced to talk to you. So just go easy on her. I love you two together, you two go together perfectly and I would love you two to be back together but you just have to give her time to listen and cooperate" she explains. I'm fine with her not wanting to talk to me as long as she's a few doors down so that if she needs anything I'm here to give it to her. "Ok" I say. My heart eased as I heard she was ok. I gotta try and have her listen to me so I can explain. I'm not dating Maddie. I go over to my bed and collapse "she hates me" I mumble. I hear my mums footsteps and a hand on my back "she does not hate you" my mum says. I sit up and look at her "she thinks I cheated on her which I didn't. Why wouldn't she hate me?" I ask putting my head on my mums shoulder "because she knows you, and you wouldn't care so much for something then throw it away. She must still love you or forgiven you because if she didn't then why did she practically agree to seeing you everyday?" My mum makes a point. "I guess" I shrug. She kisses my head "I know so baby. Now remember,time" she says getting up and leaving. I sigh and swing my feet on the bed. How do I take it slow when explaining I didn't cheat on her? I wanna explain for her and for her immediately know I'm telling the truth and believe me. But knowing Jamie it won't be as easy. I know at first she probably won't wanna talk but I can try and get her to see the truth.
Jamie's POV
On my way to Anne's house I kept staring at the window trying to get lost in my thoughts. Did I still love Harry? Yeah.. But it doesn't mean I'm not mad. I was looking forward to facing him again. I just kind of ran away so that I could have sometime to myself and think everything through and now I needed some some answers. When did he choose to cheat on me? Did he cheat on me? What was Avery and Niall being so secretive about? I found out the answer anyway. I would really hope that Avery would tell me. And knowing the kind of person she is, makes me question if Harry really cheated on me.
I arrived to the giant house in record time. I stepped out in my clothes with nothing but my phone and keys. Keeping my bags in there in case I wanted to leave. As I knocked on the door, Anne opened "honey! Welcome back!" She cheers making me smile as I hug her. "Come in,come in" she invites as I do so. "You know the house as well as I do. You can go to your room if you like or I could fix some snacks in the kitchen or you could watch tv" she says trying to make me feel comfortable "I think I'll head to my room" I say as she smiles "ok honey just ring if you need anything" she says disappearing into the kitchen. I sigh and head up the stairs.
When I get into the hallway. I couldn't help but glance at Harry's door. I wonder if he missed me or noticed I was even gone. Anne said he was crying, but I wanna see it for myself. Harry cries for nothing so I don't think he would cry for me. I walk down to my room and adjust. It'll be odd knowing I'm at Harry's house, but he's not sleeping with me. Harry's always had that weird thing when he doesn't like me alone at night that I never really gotten. But I never really got a lot of things about Harry. I step into my room and see its cute. White themed with hits walls,spreading,and more. I sat down on the bed and tried getting comfortable.
I suddenly hear a knock on my door. "Come in" I chime. In comes the man of the hour, Harry "hello" I greet cooley. He seems shaken up and nervous "hi" he greets back. I notice his eyes are puffy and red. He can't be crying, maybe he's sick "how have you been?" He asks "good, got sometime that I needed. And you?" I ask. This seems so awkward "not my best" he says truthfully as he looks at his feet. My heart ached and I wanted the feeling of him kissing me or saying he loved me or not letting me sleep alone or just anything that proved he cared. "I didn't cheat on you" he mumbles. I sigh and run my fingers through my hair "I don't know wether to believe you or not" I admit. He looks up at me, staring into my eyes. "Could you blame me? You were with Maddie every time you left out the house. Every time you left me. Like she was more exciting then me" I say with the lump in my throat returning "I did it to keep you safe" he protests. Safe? Safe from what? "From what? You?" I ask "no! You know how your house was burnt to the ground? It was Maddie. She was mad and did it. Then she started threatening to hurt you if i didn't do what she said and I didn't want you hurt" he says with tears forming in his eyes. Is the Harry Styles about to cry? "Why would she target me?" "Because I chose you over her! She didn't want to believe I actually liked you let alone love. She was mad that I didn't choose her, she was mad that I wanted you, and she was mad that I loved you more then anything" he says turning and leaving the room.
Harry's POV
I had to leave! I was gonna cry saying all of it! It was true and it hurt with her bringing up that she believes I cheated. All this moving around is making me sore. I look at the clock 7:56. Well it's not like she will talk to me so I better head to bed.
I was tossing and turning knowing Jamie was here, sleeping alone, unprotected. I've been trying to sleep for past 3 hours. It was driving me crazy. I think I might go insane more then usual.
Suddenly I hear my door creak open. I open my eye slightly and see a girl figure. Must be my mum checking on me. I close my eye and stay still so she thinks I'm asleep. I hear footsteps get closer and I suspect to feel a light peck on my head but instead I feel the bed crease and a body maneuver so it's back to me. That's when I realize it's not my mum, Jamie? I feel her turn so she's cuddled into my chest. She pulls my arm so she's wrapped in my arms. She sets her hand on my bear chest and sighs "your lucky I love you" she mumbles as I feel her kiss my cheek and drift off to sleep. She must believe I'm asleep. I smile and squeeze her to me. I can sleep soundly now
