night changes

eighteen

"So where do we go next?" I asked Liam as we sat around the couch eating take out Chinese since Louis was in charge of dinner tonight. I was talking in regards to Madison and that whole situation I seemed to have ultimately screwed up.

"You have to get back on good terms with her." Liam respond taking his chops sticks and eating some of the noodles while flipping through the channels to find something decent to watch.

"Mate, you basically went and accused her of being something she's not. You need to make it right with her because she is the only lead we have right now." Louis chimed still looking at the screen as we ate our food. "Plus you also broke her heart, so you need to make it up to her somehow."

"I just don't even know what to do or say." I told them putting down the orange chicken box to look at Liam as he finally settled on watching an episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians which we all secretly liked even though we would never admit it to anyone.

"Heres an idea, why don't you apologize to her? Than you can go from there, girls can be fragile Harry and even though you didn't feel the same way Madison did, you really hurt her because she really liked you."Liam explained to me as I took in a sigh by running a hand through my hair.

"Your right, I'm going to go over there and apologize." I started, standing up from the couch as I attracted the boys attention. Asher sat in his swing quietly watching even though he probably had no clue as to what was going on. "I was in the wrong and I want Madison to know I am sorry about everything, even for hurting her."

"That's it mate! You go over there!" Liam cheered me on giving the courage to walk out that door and up to floor six where Madison resided. For me to get any help in finding Valerie/ K I needed Madison to help me.

"Okay I'll be right back." I told them heading for the door and straight for the elevator. I was determined and was hoping that Madison would be home. It was a school night and I doubted she would be out partying since she had told me how important her education was to her.

Knocking on her door I waited for her footsteps to accompany her behind the door and it was long after before I heard that. The knob twisting as I became a little nervous to be standing here again. The last time I was here I had yelled at her and accused her of being a liar when in all reality she wasn't, she didn't lie about anything, at least of what I know.

"You again?" Madison rolled her eyes when she saw me about to slam the door in my face until I caught the door. She was in a pair of knee high white socks with a big grey oversized football t-shirt, her hair tied into a ponytail.

"Wait, just hear me out on this." I told her as she flipped her long golden ponytail to cascade down her back, folding her arms and shifting her weight to one side whole she leaned up against the door frame.

"Fine." She said blinking and waiting for me to continue what I had to say.

"I'm sorry." I started looking at her but seeing she wasn't really changing her attitude about me with that alone. "I came up here the last time and I was out of line. I shouldn't have yelled at you like I did when you haven't done anything wrong. I let my anger get the best of me and I am truly sorry about it."

Her arms unfolded and icy eyes softening from putting this all out on the table for her to hear, "I also am sorry for hurting you. I was an asshole and played games with a lot of girls and I'm sorry you got caught up in that. I should have saw your feelings and considered them but I didn't because I was an idiot. I don't know how else I can apologize to you but I want to make it up to you."

"Wow..." Madison trailed looking down at the floor shocked at my apology. I wanted her to know I was truly sorry for the way I acted and for causing her pain from the past.
