It takes two (Harry styles)

chapter 70

Riley's P.O.V.

"Riley, what happened?" Liam asked me.

"I don't want to talk about it." i said looking at the ground like it was the most interesting thing in the world.

"please, we just want to know" Louis begged.

"i said i don't want to talk about it! leave me alone!" i got up from my seat and ran to the bathroom.

"Riley open the door, its me Eleanor." i opened the door and i was face to face with Eleanor. 

"i want to go home" i cried. she engulfed me in a hug. "please take me home" i sobbed. 

"okay lets go" she said rubbing my back in comfort. she put her arm around my shoulder and walked out of the bathroom.  

we walked till we reached the living room. everyone's eyes flickered to us.

"um guys, we are gonna head home." Eleanor said. i didn't want to speak to them. we were about to walk out till someone grabbed Eleanor's wrist. we both turned around and saw Harry standing there.

"El let  me drive her home, you can stay here" his deep raspy voice said.

"are you sure?" El asked him. he nodded. "okay ill see you tomorrow okay?" i nodded. "harry i swear to god if you do anything to her i will chop your balls off." she said dead serious.

Harry's eyes went wide and him mouth was glued shut. he nodded in fear. he put his arm around my waist and guided me out to the car. 

he helped me get into the car. he shut the door behind me and walked over to the drivers side of the car. he started the car and we started driving to my flat. 

"are you okay?" he asked out of the blue.

"not really" i shrugged. "thank you for saving me." i have him a thankful smile. he smiled back and nodded.

"Riley, what ha-" i cut him off.

"i don't want to talk about it!" i snapped. "I'm sorry that i snapped at you like that."

"its alright, i shouldn't of asked. i need you to answer one question."

"okay" i nodded.

"where do we stand?" i was stumped.

"look, after all that has happened between us, i think we should remain friends." his face dropped. "that doesn't mean that we can never be together again, it just means that we need to take things slow."

"i understand" he said quietly, not taking his eye off the road. a tear slid down his face.

"harry, i didn't-" he cut me off.

"no just don't." he snapped at me. 

i whispered 'im sorry'

we pulled into my flat driveway.

"are you going to be okay alone?"

"yeah ill be fine" i replied keeping a straight face. refusing to make eye contact. i opened my door and climbed out. i could barely walk. i winced with each step i took.

i dug through my purse to find my house key. i heard them jingling. when i finally felt the cold medal come in contact with my skin. i took them out and put the key in the key-hole.

i slammed the door shut and slid down the wall. I'm not holding back the tears anymore. i just let them run freely down my face. i ran to the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror.

i feel so used and dirty. 

I'm ugly

I'm fat

I'm worthless

I'm  the total opposite of what harry deserves. what does he see in me anyways? cutting seems like a really good option right now, but i cant.

i went into the kitchen and got a piece of paper and a pencil. whenever i feel like cutting i write all my feelings down on a piece of paper. then when I'm finished i burn the letter and i got all m feelings out without hurting myself.

i sat at the kitchen table and started writing.

dear me,

i feel like complete shit right now. i always screw everything up. harry asked where we stand and me being my stupid self said that we were only friends. he got pissed and didn't say a word on the way back to my flat. tonight has been the worst night of all time. the boys and girls were all at nialls place, when we walked in i saw harry sitting there with his arm around her shoulder. i got really jealous and went in the bathroom and harmed myself. i then stormed out because i knew everyone was mad at me. i started to walk home, but i got lost. Eleanor called and i started flipping out. she put harry on the phone and he talked me though it. i soon realized there was a guy following me. he caught up to me and pinned me on a wall. I'm not going to write all of it. long story short, he raped me. harry found me and helped me out of the place. im beyond furious with myself for storming away and attempting to find my way home. i already feel a whole lot better already. now its time to burn this.

i went into the kitchen and got matches  i went over to the fireplace and held the note over it. i lit the match and lit the corner of the paper. i watched as the paper slowly got smaller. once it got too small for me to hold i let it fall into the fireplace. my thoughts were interrupted when there was a knock at the door. i walked over and opened it.

Harry was standing there with red puffy eyes.

"you came back"

"i never left" he said with a smile. "I'm sorry for how i snapped at you." he said with a frown.

"its alright i deserved it. karma's a bitch." i giggled. i realized we were still standing at the door. "come in" he gladly accepted. he walked past me. we walked in the living room where the fireplace is. "do you want some tea?"

"sure that would be great" he smiled at me. i stood up and put the kettle on the stove. i got a sharp pain in my lower area. i groaned in pain. i stood up and stared walking back to the kitchen. then the house phone started ringing. i groaned in annoyance.

"hello?" i picked up.

"dani's awake!!" liam screamed.

"okay we will be right there." then i hing up.

"whats going on?" harry asked.

"danis up" he quickly got up and walked out to his car. 

at the hospital

we walked up to the nurses statiion.

"name"

"danielle peazer" i said.

"room 148"

"thank you."

omce we reached the room we knocked on the door.

"come in" we opened the door and saw danielle sitting in the hospital bed.

"dani!!" i ran up to her nad gave her a gentle hug.

45 minutes later

"okay, danielle needs her rest, everyone out." a nurse said sweetly.

"ill be back tomorrow." i said to her, she nodded.

me and harry climbed back into his car. we were about to pull out when a firetruck zoomed by us. as we got closer to my flat the sirens got louder. there was smoke everywhere.

i realized the sirens and lights were coming from my house. we pulled to my house and i gasped. my eyes filled with tears.

i was staring at...

my flat was up in flames.
