What Harry had Done- Book 1

Chapter 21

"Come on Harry, cheer up. We have a an important meeting later today," Louis said patting Harry on the back.

"It's been over a month.Why hasn't she come back?" Harry asked himself.

Ever since he and Bessie took a brake, Harry has been a mess. He is drunk half of the week, it is rare that he puts effort into the songs, he barely eats, and he has not showered in days. Ell had to walk around with a clothes pin on her nose. None of the boys would get within five feet of Harry without holding their breath. It was getting bad.

"Harry, get over yourself. You really hurt her. Don't expect to see Bessie again," Ell spat at Harry.

"Don't you think I know that?" Harry said as he looked into Ell's eyes with regret.

"Speak of the devil..." Zayn said with a little laugh.

Everyone quickly looked to the door and there stood  a pair of grey eyes.

"Bets," Harry said in shock.

Bessie was there but she did not look like herself. Her hair looked like it has not been brushed and was thrown into a messy pony tail, probably as she got there. Her clothes were comfort clothes not the nice, appropriate, teen mom clothes she stylishly rocked. Bessie's face was paler than usual which made the freckles stand out. Those beautiful grey eyes were tired, fearful, and determined. She was shaking a little as she walked into the room staring up and down the walls.

When Bessie saw Harry, she gave him that smile you give someone to avoid being talked to.

Harry ran up to Bessie but she pushed him away the moment his hands touched her waist. Something was telling Harry that she was not here to fix what they had.

 "Bets! I'm so happy to see you! What took you so long?" Harry asked.

 "I'm not here about that," Bessie said making Harry frown.

 "Then why did you come?" Harry asked puzzled.

"Remember that night when I got drunk and I found an empty bottle of lube a few days later?" Bessie asked nervously.

 Harry look at Bessie with a confused face.

"Stop right there. Let me guess why you're here," Zayn said when he solved the puzzle.

"Go head," Bessie said giving up hope with Harry.

"Well, when you and Harry decided to take a brake, a few nights before then you got drunk. After that, you found an empty bottle of lubricant that wasn't yours. It's been a good five/six weeks since then. If I recall, Harry said that you had a stomach bug before he left," Zayn was explaining.

 "What does any of that mean?" Harry asked impatiently.

 "I'm getting there," Zayn said, "You came here out of the blue. Hair not brushed, clothes thrown on, Robert and Lacie aren't here. That means it's important. Very important."

"Get on with it!" Niall said intrigued in the conversation.

 Zayn gave Niall the look and continued, "All these things add up to something very clear. Not to mention that Bessie looks like she has gained a pound or two since we saw her last, no offense."

"None taken," Bessie said knowing Zayn knew the answer.

"What does it add up to?" Harry nearly yelled.

"Bessie's pregnant," Zayn said making the room go quiet.

Everyone stared at Bessie as she looked to the ground in guilt. It all was so clear now.

Harry could not have gotten Bessie pregnant. He was too young to be a biological father. This could not be true.

"No, no that's impossible," Harry finally said.

"Is it Harry?" Bessie asked.

"Um," Harry said looking for an exit.

"Harry, look me in the eye and tell me that you didn't take advantage of me while I was drunk," Bessie demanded.

Harry just gulped and looked away.

"TELL ME!" Bessie cried.

All Harry had to do was look Bessie in the eyes and she knew.

“Harry, how could you?!? I trusted you. Robert and Lacie trusted you. You stabbed us all in the back so you could satisfy your needs,” Bessie cried.

“I’m sorry. I wasn’t thinking straight. I would never try to hurt you,” Harry pleaded.

“IT’S A LITTLE TOO LATE FOR THAT!” Bessie yelled with tears rolling down her face.

“Bessie,” Harry said as he reached for her.

“I think you’ve caused her enough pain,” Liam said as he stepped in front of Bessie, cutting Harry off.

“You really are a monster,” Ell said in discus.

“Ell, give Harry a brake,” Niall said trying to calm her down.

“HOW COULD YOU DEFEND THAT SCUM?!?” Ell yelled at Niall.

“Just because Harry made a bad decision doesn’t ,mean he’s scum,” Louis said standing next to Niall.

“You are all blind aren’t you? Bessie already had enough pain without Harry adding onto it! She has suffered so much in her life so far. I know you guys have heard her story. Why can’t you step into her shoes? You would be agreeing with me if you did,” Ell defended.

“We know what she has been through. But you know that everyone makes mistakes. You know about that more than anyone,” Louis growled back.

Ell’s face got redder than blood as she clawed at Louis’ face. Niall quickly lifted her small body off of Louis as Liam put distance between them.

“HARRY RUINED BETSIE’S ALREADY RUINED LIFE!” Ell burst into hot tears.

“Wh…where’s Bessie?” Harry whispered with his face still white from hearing the recent news.

Everyone stopped what there were doing and looked around. Bessie was gone.
