Temptation

Chapter 28

The night air is cold on my skin and it sends goosebumps up my spine with each breath of wind. It's almost midnight and I'm walking on my street. I left Harry's apartment as soon as he fell asleep, it didn't feel right. We argue and he kisses me, it's like I'm getting mixed signals. Sometimes I think that I may like him and I sometimes think that he might like me too. But when one little thing is said everything goes wrong.

I walk up to my driveway and reach the front door. The jingle of my keys sound louder as usual since I'm trying to be so quiet. My mom is going to kill me. I shut the front door behind me and tiptoe my way down the hall. Just before I reach the stairs the family room light turns on and my mom ties her robe tightly around her waist.

"Where the hell have you been?!" Her screaming send ringing through my ears and my head starts to pound. I bring my fingers to my temple and rub gently. "I could smell you down the damn driveway Bethany!" She over exaggerated the smell of alcohol on me. Great.

"Mom, I'm sorry. I'm tired can I please go to bed." I mumble and she shakes her head quickly from side to side.

"Care to explain why you're coming home at almost one in the morning?" She crosses her arms over her chest.

"I was just hanging out with some friends, I'm going to bed."I turn to walk up the stairs and I hear my mom call my name but I ignore her and shut the bedroom door behind me.

I still have Harry's sweat pants on as I slip under my covers and fall asleep.

Harry's POV

God damnit.

I'm pacing around my living room tugging at my hair like a fucking lunatic. She can't just fucking leave my apartment without letting me know. She didn't even leave a damn note or send me a fucking text.

I grab my keys and just as I open my door Tiffy is standing in the hallway with her hand in the position as if she was about to knock.

"Harry!" She jumps towards me and I pace faster to get away from her. She grabs a hold of my shoulders and brings me closer to her.

"Get off of me." I shove her hands off of me and go to walk away.

"Don't forget our deal." She says and I stop in my tracks and look back at her and she's smiling. I wish I could wipe that smile right off of her Face.

"Go home, tiff" is the last thing I say to her. I hate when she brings the deal up. Everything is my damn fault and I hate that this is the only way that I could keep anything from getting out.

I texted Beth about five times and I haven't gotten a reply once. I decide to drive to her house. I don't give a flying fuck if her mum allows me in or not. I know that she was being fake when I was over her house a couple days ago, the smiles she planted on her face made her look like a freaking Barbie.

I'm pissed. Oh I'm beyond fucking pissed that she just left, no reason why at all. I'm going about ten miles over the speed limit and I could give two shits.

Within minutes I'm at the front door of her house and I ring the doorbell about three times before I hear the heels clicking against the hardwood floor inside.

Her mum opens the door and her smile fades as soon as she sees me.

"Is Beth here?" I look over her shoulder a little bit to try to see if she's there's but she closes the door slightly so I can't look any further behind her.

"Bethany." She corrects me and adjusts the glasses that we're sitting too low on her nose. My patience is running low and the last thing I want to do right now is lose it out on her mum.
