Starting over

Chapter 14

I wake up in my bed and I have a huge headache. My head pounds when I try to sit up. I partied to hard last night. When I try to get out of bed I touch something in my bed. I turn and squint my eyes and see Harry. I shake my head and get up. I walk to the bathroom and get some medicine. I go and lay down on the couch. I close my eyes and I try to relax.

Someone sits on my stomach and I open my eyes to see Harry smirking at me. "Good morning." He says laughing.

"Good morning. Can you please get off of me?!" I ask laughing but it hurts because I can barely breathe with Harry sitting on me.

"Fine." He says and he lifts me legs up and sits on the couch. Then he places my legs on his lap.

"Did you sleep well?" I ask him and he starts to massage my legs.

"Yes. You are really pretty when you sleep." He says and I blush.

"Why are you massaging my legs?" I ask and I try to keep my legs still but it tickles.

"You told me they hurt last night." He smirks at me.

"Oh. Well I don't remember that." I say laughing and he shakes his head.

"You weren't even that drunk!" He says and I laugh. Someone opens the front door and I see Tess and Josh.

"Hey!" I say and Tess looks at me weird. "What?!"

"You guys didn't hear?!" She asks and I sit up.

"No. What happened?" Harry says looking worried.

"Well now there is rumors that you too are dating and your fans aren't very happy about that. And Taylor is saying some rude stuff about you Becca." She says and Josh shakes his head.

Harry turns to me and looks sad. "I'm sorry. I knew something like this would happen!"

"Harry it's not your fault. You can't control what they do. And honestly I don't care what other people say." I grab hold of his hand and he looks at me sadly.

"But you are getting hate because of me."

"It is my choice to be friends with you or not. I made that choice and those people made the choice to send hate. It isn't your fault." He doesn't seem to be convinced. "What is Taylor saying about me?"

"She says that you are really rude and shouldn't be trusted. And that isn't helping with the fans. They say you are bad for Harry and using your story to get him to love you." She says and that stings. They don't know my story. They don't know what is going on in my life. They shouldn't be judging me from rumors.

"Becca are you ok?" Harry says holding my hand tightly. I realize that I am crying.

"Yeah. I'm fine." I say weakly. None of them seem convinced. Josh sits next to me with Tess on his lap.

"Becca, don't listen to them. They don't know what is going on. They are jealous that you are close with Harry so they use whatever they can against you. It makes them feel better. We know you aren't like that." Josh says as he rubs my back.

I nod. "I just don't understand what I did."

"Absolutely nothing." Harry says. He stands up and he looks mad.

"Harry it's fine. I'm ok." I say and he starts to pace the room.

"Everyone who is close to me gets hate. I don't understand why they do it. It won't make me love them. It hurts me and the people I love. They need to stop." He says and he turns around. "I am going to tell them to stop."

"Ok. That would work. Just don't go off on them. But be stern." Josh says and Harry nods. He takes out his phone and he starts typing.

"There. If they say anything more I don't know what I will do." He says and he sits down next to me. He is still breathing hard.

"Thanks." I say and he just nods at me. There is silence for a couple of minutes.

Final someone says something. "Have you guys eaten yet?" Tess asks.

"No." I say.

"Do you guys want to go get some brunch?" She says and I nod. Harry shrugs and I get up to get dressed.

When I come back, Harry has his head in his hands as Josh is talking to him softly. Tess is across the room looking worried.

I walk over to her. "What happened?" I ask her quietly.

"Harry is upset." She says but that is obvious.

"About what?"

"The hate I think. Josh says he has never acted like this for anyone else." She looks at me and I just keep looking at Harry and Josh.

After a while, Josh comes over to us leaving Harry by himself. "I don't what to do. He won't move. He is really upset about this. Becca maybe you should talk to him." I nod and I sit down next to him.

"Harry. Are you ok?" No answer.

"Come on Harry. Stop. I'm ok." No answer.

"At least say something." No answer.

I get up and go back to Josh and Tess. "He won't say anything. We should get the other boys." I say and Josh nods. He grabs his phone and calls the others to come and help us.
