Past, Present, No Future. (Harry Styles)

15. Unsaved

I walked down the pavement finding my way to Liam's flat, I didn't know why he wasn't answering my calls or messages and it makes me a bit upset that I can't talk to him. I walked into the University going towards the dorms. I went to Liam's dorm knocking then opening the door.

"Liam I-oh" I stopped seeing Liam pull away from a snog session. "Hi"

"Um, Vanessa. What are you doing here?" he asked.

I held up the cell phone in my hand, "You haven't been answering your phone"

"Oh yeah, it got stolen"

"Okay, and you couldn't tell me that?"

"I didn't know where you were"

I nodded pointing at the girl, "Mind introducing me?"

"Oh yeah, Vanessa this is Sophia" I waved at the pretty girl next to Liam.

"Hi" she stood up, "I've heard so many great things about you" she hugged me.

I laughed awkwardly "Yeah and so have I?" I looked over to Liam for help.

"Oh no need to lie for your brother! We've only been dating for what? A week?"

"And yet he didn't say anything" I smiled sarcastically. "So you've been dating a week and you're already snogging on the couch?"

"Vanessa!" Liam exclaimed.

"Sorry, I was just asking"

"No, it's fine Liam. Liam and I have known each other longer just began dating last week"

"Ohhhh" I looked over to Liam who was pretending to be interrested in something outside the opened window.

"At least I'm not sleeping with someone I've known for two"

"Excuse me?" I walked over to Liam crossing my arms.

"Just saying, you barely know the guy and your staying at his flat almost every night"

"Okay first of all I've known Harry for longer than two weeks and second it's not like I'm doing anything with him"

"I'm only trying to protect you"

"Um guys?" I heard Sophia say from behind me.

"How about you protect someone else, I'm 18 Liam! I don't need your protection"

"Vanessa! You can't trust him"

"I can trust him with anything, he knows more than you do" I lied.

I saw the hurt in his eyes when I began to walk to the door.

"It was really nice meeting you" I smiled to Sophia.

On my way out I placed a small wallet sized photograph of me and Liam when I was 5 and he was 7 on the small corner table by the door. I've been meaning to give it to him when I found it at the house. I sat on the stairs of the library resting my forehead on my arms and knees.

"You okay?" a sweet voice asked sitting next to me.

"That's something I hear too much" I told Sophia.

"Do you and Liam usually bicker?"

"No, not at all. I just, I can't believe he said that"

"He was only trying to look out for you"

"I don't need looking out for, he doesn't know Harry like I do. Honestly I don't even want Harry looking out for me either"

"Is Harry your boyfriend?" she asked placing her hand on my back.
