Unpredictable Love

Chapter 54

Harry's POV

Watching her with tears storm down her face and stomping inside her house away from me, is replaying repeatedly inside of my head and I feel nauseas. Part of me is thankful that she admitted to being a virgin, mainly. But I regret the cruel words I barked at her, about me being with other girls.

The look on her face when I said them, made me want to wrap her in my arms. I sit down on my couch in the empty apartment, and lean my head back on a pillow.

"Hey Harry." A girly voice calls out to me, and I dart up to see Mandy approaching me. So much for being alone.

"Hey Mandy, where's Niall?" I ask the petite brunette that nearing me. She has a odd smirk on her face, as she shrugs her shoulders and sits down beside me on the couch.

"Getting something from the store." Her high pitched voice tells me. I awkwardly look around, not really knowing what to say to her.

"I just love your hair, Harry." Her voice coming out very slow, and seductive like as she combs her skinny fingers through my hair.

Every second that passes she's getting closer to my face, and I'm not able to comprehend what's going on. Before I can argue, she presses her lips to mine and I feel as if I'm suffocating. She forces her tongue into my mouth, and I attempt to gently shove her off of me. She starts moaning into the kiss, and I feel like throwing up. My eyes are wide open and I'm staring in disgust at her face as she smooches me.

The front door flings open and Niall walks in with a load of bags on his arms. His jaw drops along with the bags as he takes in the sight of Mandy sucking my face off.

"What the fuck?" Niall demands, and Mandy jumps off of me.

"Niall I--" I start to say, but Niall turns around and storms out of the apartment, leaving me alone with sketchy-Mandy. Great, he's the second person who's stormed out on me today, I really need some help.

"Oops." Mandy giggles as we watch him run off. I turn to glare at her. "You should really go." I sternly tell her.

Karleigh's POV

"You sure you're okay to drive?" My Mom asks for the thousandth time.

"Yes!" I snap, and she shuts up quickly. I hustle out of the door and climb into the stick shift mustang that's parked out front.

The car flies down the street, as I step on the gas pedal. Fury is building inside of me as I drive to the old bar that I once visited when I first moved here.

The same slimy bartender is at the bar when I step inside, but I don't hesitate to approach him and start ordering drinks. After I've had quite a few drinks, the bartender comes back over.

"Hey honey, can I get ya anything else?" He asks in a perverted tone that suggests he means more than just alcohol.

"Another Jack Daniels with coke." I mumble, ignoring his double-meaning offer. I've lost count of the amount of drinks I've taken in and my head is starting to spin. The door to the bar swings open, but I don't turn to see who entered considering I couldn't care less.

The stool beside me is tugged out and someone sits down. "Hey stranger." A familiar voice says and I turn to look.

"Niall?" I ask in disbelief. I even blink a few times, thinking I probably have tears in my eyes still clouding my vision, or worse, alcohol.

"Hey.." He says. "What are you doing..here?" I ask curiously, my words slurring slightly.

"I just caught Mandy and ... Harry kissing." He harshly states. The air is knocked out of me at his explanation and I accidentally knock over the Jack Daniels and coke mix that the bartender just set in front of me.

"Shit," the bartender says as he rushes to clean up my clumsy mess.

"My Harry?" I ask still not believing his words.

"No Karleigh, Mandy's Harry." He snaps and my tears well up again. I thought there was no way my heart could break anymore than it had, boy was I wrong.

Niall turns to me, with a smirk on his face. "Don't cry." He tells me as he swipes my tears away with his rough hands. I sniffle to hold back more tears and give him a small nod.

"We can get back at them." Niall tells me, but I'm not understanding. I stare into his blue eyes, waiting for him to explain. He doesn't though, instead he leans in, pressing himself against me and pressing his mouth against mine.

With clouded judgement from the amount of alcohol I'd consumed, I kiss him back for a moment. Trying to get a grip on what is going on right now.

Niall. He's kissing me, we're kissing to get revenge. What? I jerk away from Niall, and he is smiling sexily at me. Without giving it a thought, I lift my hand up and smack it across his cheek so hard his head turns.

"Don't touch me." I say and stand up from the bar, stumbling out to my car before Niall can come after me.

Tears are rushing down my face as I climb into my car. From natural instinct, I turn on my car but I know fairly well that I am not capable of driving. I'm not sure what comes over me as I unlock my cell phone and dial Harry's number, probably the alcohol and the sad ache in my heart.

On the second ring someone picks up. "Hello?" I call through the speaker.

"Karleigh?" Harry's angelic voice rings in my ear.

"Can you drive me home?" My words slur together and my vision is getting foggy.

Silence comes from his end of the phone. "Have you been drinking, Karls?" He asks.

"Don't call me that!" I snap. "Can you drive me home or not?" I demand.

"Where are you?" He questions.

"The, that one place. Y'know, the bar, the one you came to find me once." My sentence isn't making any sense, but I'm doing the best I can.

The line goes blank, and I think that Harry hung up. My phone drops into my lap, and I wait for him to come get me. Tears fill my eyes as I think about our argument from earlier, and how Niall told me Harry kissed Mandy. Who the fuck is Mandy anyways? Thoughts of Niall's lips against mine cause me to sob harder and the old feeling of wishing I were dead has returned, since my dad passed away.

There's a light knock on my window, and I turn to see its Harry. I clumsily unlock the door and allow Harry to open my door. A frown is etched into his lips as he sees me crying.

"Don't frown." I choke out between sobs. I much rather see him smile than frown.

"Don't cry." He counters, and I frown in return. He reaches inside the car and turns off the car, as he pulls the keys out of the ignition. "C'mon." He instructs, as he leads me into his car which is directly beside mine. Cool air hits my face as he pulls out of the parking lot.

We both sit in silence, and the background music of the radio catches my attention. The words that Harry has sang to me so many times, plays from the speakers. I anxiously lean forward and turn the volume completely off, Harry shoots me a look that I can't read but I look away from him.

"Why'd you change the song?" He asks me sadly.

"Why'd you kiss Mandy?" I sneer her name, and Harry's mouth parts in surprise as he tries to find a reason.

"Who told you?" He asks. "Niall, he was in the bar. He kissed me after he told me about you and that whore." I snap in my drunken state. Immediately I wish I hadn't of said those words, Harry grimaces at me then his mouth straightens into a flat line. Neither of us say another word the rest of the drive.
