Not Alone For Long

Chapter 20

Harry's POV

I had finished changing and decided to go check on Cat. I didn't plan on leaving her in my room all night alone after all. I knocked on my door to the bed room first and after not hearing a sound, I carefully walked in. God knows how she would feel if I walked in on her and saw her naked TWICE in one night. My bedroom was empty but I could hear the sink running in the bathroom. Wasn't she just in the bathroom? Maybe she forgot to brush her teeth or something... But I hadn't given her a tooth brush... Oh well, I will never completely understand what women do in the bathroom anyway.

I made my way over to the closed door and gently tapped my knuckles against the cold grain of the wood. The sound of running water instantly shut off andquick but light foot steps padded away and then came back.

"Harry?" She seemed to squeak, Was she nervous?

"Who else would it be love?" I tried to add some humor in my tone since she seemed to sound almost upset? Well duh idiot you just embarrassed the shit out of her.

"I- I'm gonna be a minute, could you go check on the girls?" Her voice was shakey at first but soon regained a tad bit of strength.

"I already did that and they are sound asleep in Gemma's room, Is everything ok in there?" I was beginning to get worried. She didn't sound ok.

Cat's POV

"...Is everything ok in there?" He asked. I watched in horror as the door knob on the bathroom door twisted. Luckily I had it locked but I'm sure that if I didn't open the door soon he would most likely break it down out of curiosity.

"Yeah Harry I'm fine- I just.. I was just brushing my teeth.." I spoke as a removed the towel that I had grabbed off the wall when Harry knocked on the door from my wrist. Deep red painted the white towel as it soaked up the blood that had spilled from the broken skin. I searched all over as to where to hide the now discolored towel. The bleeding had stopped, for the moment, coming from my wrist and I'm sure that if I kept my arms to my side, he wouldn't notice.

Pacing around the bathroom, I eventually stumbled across the garbage can. I could barely hear Harry's voice cause I was in such a panic but it seemed as though he said or asked 'Where did you find the toothbrush'. I wasn't entirely sure. I went into the cabinets and came out successful when I found a grocery bag hidden amoungst the cleaning products. I threw the towel in the bag and quickly tied it before throwing it in the very botton of the bin.

"Cat please open up, are you ok in there?'' He voice was full of concern and I did feel a little bad but right now my concern was hiding this horrifying crime scene. After disposing of the broken razor and throughly cleaning the sink, I opened the door.

Harry had his back pressed to the wood so when I opened it he fell back a little but eventually regained his balance and stood in front of me. Concern spreading across his face. "Are you ok?" Was the first thing he said to me as he held my shoulders and looked into my eyes. How could he possibly be that good at reading people?

"Yeah? Why wouldn't I be?" I tried to sound like it wasn't that big of a deal and it seemed to be working when Harry sighed and let go of my arms. Unfortuantly, instead of just letting go of my arms he had to run his fingers down them. I quickly pulled back as his fingers lightly yet unknowingly touched the newly cut skin.

"I don't know you were just in there for a while and I didn't leave you a tooth brush so I wasn't sure what you were doing in there..." He trailed off seeming a bit embarrassed, I on the other hand was mortifed when I glanced down at his fingers and noticed a small amount of blood that collected on the tips of his fingers. It wasn't a lot but it was noticable.

I did my best to cover up the situation, I grabbed his hand in mine, awkwardly if i may add, and tried to smear the color from his fingers by rubbing his hand in mine. I tried to make it look as though I was comfoting him but knowing me, nothing ever went as planned. "I hope you don't mind I used yours..." Trying to sounf innocent paid off when he lightly chuckled and removed my hand from his. Oh thank god my plan had worked. His fingers were clean.

"So you mean you were in there this whole time using my toothbrush, making me worried." He laughed before continuing, "You are quiet the character aren't you." He pulled away and walked over to the bed, motioning for me to join him.

Oh, if you only knew the half of it Styles...
