Chapter 11
*Reminder*
"I told you I wouldn't wait forever" Jack smirks
That tips me over the edge, tears start to trickle down my face. I can't see, the blur in my eyes is too strong with the combination of the room spinning. Then I hear him laughing. I have to leave.
I run, I can't see exactly where I'm going but once I get out of this stupid smelly house I can't stop my feet.
I bump into something hard, I expect to fall but I don't. Instead two strong hands catch me and pull me in. Harry.
I knew it was him. The smell of apples, cinnamon and lynx was heavenly. Not a smell you'd forget.
Every part of my body collapsed, the tears rolled down my cheeks. The breath I was holding escaped my mouth. I unclenched my stomach even though I forgot I was clenching I've been doing it that long in the fear of looking fat. My legs gave way and I begin to fall to the floor but Harry's muscular arms caught me and were the only things holding me up.
"Shush Elise stop crying. It's okay. Whatever it is, we can sort it out. I'm here" he whispered in my ear soothing me.
I don't know what made me cry more; The fact that my boyfriend was cheating on me and didn't even care or the fact that Harry was here for me.
Thats when the tears got worse, I didn't think something like this would make me so emotional but that's the moment I knew he's there, I knew someone cared, I'm not alone anymore.
"he's- he's in there kiss-kissing her" I choked out
"Wh-what? how could he?" Harry asks mainly directing the question to himself "It's okay Elise, it'll get better" he turns his face back down to look at me.
"but I love him" I say into Harry's chest, I can't see his face but I know exactly what he's doing; stroking my hair whilst his chin is rested on the top of my head, his eyes will be closed and he'll be rolling his lips together. His breathing is heavy but no where near as fast as mine.
"I know you do" he sighs after a while
"I-I don't know what to do" I breathe, the tears are starting to stop but me and Harry are still hugging in the middle of the street earning a few funny looks off of a couple dog walkers.
"Well, I'll take you to the flat you can stay there for as long as you like"
"are you sure? I'll be fine on my own" I say pulling away from the hug by placing my hands on his chest and pushing my body back to look at the kind-hearted, curly-haired boy stood in front of me
"Yes I'm sure, stupid. Now lets go" he chuckles leading me to his car with one arm round my back.
We drove to Harry's flat in silence, th only contact we had was every now and then, he'd look at me, I could see him out of the corner of my eye biting his lip. I kept my head forward but I could feel myself blushing.
"Is it alright if you wait in here while I sort something out? I don't want to be rude but-" he rambles as we pull up to his flat.
"Harry it's fine" I interupt flashing my famous fake smile at him before he climbs out of the car.
Once I'm alone the tears start again. This is the worst kind of crying. The tears roll down my cheeks fast but the only noise I make is gasping for breath because the ache in my chest means I can't breathe propely.
Suddenly the car door opens, shocking me. I gasp loudly and Harrys face comes down to my level, he looks hurt. Nearly as hurt as me. His hand moves to my face holding it still as his thumb brushes across my cheek slowly and wipes a tear away.
"It'll be okay, I'm here, we'll sort it out. Together" he whispers I nod as his hand slides from my neck.
He slips one arm around my back and another under my legs and lifts me up while he slides his body under mine on the seat.
He holds me like a child on his lap as I bury my face into his warm chest once again.
"He's probably fucking her right now" sigh looking at him
"hey you don't know that" he says wiping another stray tear away
"she was fucking topless" I state
"well then..." he begins, an accidental giggle escapes my mouth causing him to chuckle too "But seriously Elise, you've got to face the facts. He didn't even chase after you to explain. He let you cry, anyone that does that to you isn't worth it"
"I know" is all I say even though there is so many more words flying round my head
"Liam is gonna stay with you while I go back to your house and get some of your stuff, then you can stay here for as long as you want" he smiles as he helps me out of the car.
He leads me into the large building, through the lobby and into the lift. All the way he keeps his arm around my waist.
The best part about having Harry there is that I don't feel like he's being nice because he has to, to get good press or something. I feel like he's doing it because he actually cares. I haven't felt like someone actually cares about me in a long time. I mean there's my family and there's Phillipa and Emily but all of them are suppossed to know me better than anyone but they never realise that the smile on my face is fake, they never seem to notice that one second I'll be laughing and the next I'm not. Harry seems to know somethings not right but it stil doesn't feel like this is a petty thing, it feels real.
When we reach the top floor Harry guides me down the familiar hallway right to the end. He pushes the heavy door open to reveal Liam sat on the sofa playing on the xbox.
"Hi Li" Harry announces
"Hey harry, Elise" He answers still focusing on the xbox
"Liam don't be rude!" Harry pressures
"Sorry" He says puasing his game and standing up "Nice to see you again Elise" he smiles waking over to me and hugging me.
"You too" I smile
"Right do you have your key?" Harry asks me
"Yeah" I say taking it out of my pocket and handing it to him "Thanks for this Harry"
"It's nothing" he smirks Taking the key "You just wait here, make yourself at home" he tells me
"Okay" I smile
"I'll only be ten minutes or so, you'll be alright won't you?"
"Yes Harry, she will be alright!" Liam laughs
"You sure?" he says still looking at me
"Yes Harry now just go!" I laugh along too
"fine, fine" Harry smirks leaving the room
"eventually" Liam chuckles making me giggle "so are you okay" he changes the subject
"I will be"
"So he cheated on you?"
"Yup" I sigh popping the 'p'
"and you just walked in on them and he wasn't even bothered?" He asked as if he didn't even believe it
"How much did Harry tell you?" I frown
"oh thats it, he didn't want to tell me but, well I'm noisy you see-" Liam rushes
"It's okay" I interupt
"he likes you, you know"
"Wh-what?"
"Nothing, you want some food" Liam changes the subject, and I'm kind of thankfull for it as I'm not to sure if I wanted to hear what he had to say.
"I'm fine" I smile
