Chapter 12- Can We Talk?

Harry's POV

..............................

"C'mon, c'mon, go!" Louis shouted at the screen.

"Shoot, shoot!" I yelled, sipping on my beer.

"Babe, I'm home." That wasn't Bailey's voice, though. It was Eleanor.

Louis' face brightened and he stood up to greet his girlfriend. "Hey, hon." He gave her a small kiss on the lips.

I turned and looked for Bailey, she was standing by the doorway, pulling off her shoes. Her face was pale and she looked frightened.

I advanced towards her, with my beer in hand. "Hey, baby."

"Hi, Harry." She replied quietly.

I furrowed my brows, and rested my hand on her lower back, and pulled her closer to me, at which she flinched. "What's the matter?"

Her scared eyes looked up at me. "I'm fine. Nothings- just... Everything is fine." She stuttered.

I sighed, and said nothing, I just watched as she avoided eye contact with me and bit her lip. I studies her face, over and over. I was getting a blank read from her. Other than the fact that she was scared, I could tell none of her other feelings.

"Can we talk?" She asked me.

"Of course." I answered without thinking. "C'mon." I lead her downstairs, and turned to face her once we entered our kitchen.

'Um, I saw something." She muttered. "Well, I was told something."

Bailey looked as if she could cry at any moment. I was confused, what was she told? Thoughts were swimming through my head, and I was beginning to think she had found out. Well, I guess if she found about the things it wouldn't be that bad... I would just have to think of another way to get her to forgive me, or in other words- scare her into forgiving me.

But, what if she somehow found out that she was a hybrid? That would practically screw me over, I know that I have to tell her eventually- but I thought I would do that maybe when she started to get older. She didn't find out though, at least I hope she didn't. No one knew about her being a hybrid- so how could she have found out?

"What was it?" I asked her.

"Rhea told me..."

Shit she knows... Niall must have told Rhea... I looked down at my feet, and sucked in a large breathe, waiting for her to start yelling.

"Why did you ask Niall to buy you a lock, Harry?"

My head snapped up. Thank god that was the only thing Rhea told her. I opened my mouth to respond to her, but she spoke again.

"Is that what you were talking about when you said you were going to punish me?" She cried. Tears freely flowed down her cheeks, and my jaw dropped. "Where you really going to lock me in one of these rooms?"

I pulled her into my arms as she sobbed. "No, no, no!" I answered quickly. "I would never, Bailey!"

She didn't respond. She just kept her arms around my waist.

Anger boiled up in me as I reran her words over and over in my head.  "Is that what you think of me? Did you really think I would do that to you?" I asked, holding her at arms length.

"No, of course not, I just-"

I cut her off. "You just what? Bailey, I've told you numerous times that I would never hurt you! What is it going to take to get that through your head?" I yelled.
