"W-what" I stutter. I can barley speak after what he just told me. He loosed the grip from my wrists allowing me to move. He lent in closer but I gently pushed away. He took my hands in his and moved them from his chest. "I said, I broke up with Ellie because I want to be with you". Once again, I was frozen. Unable to think of something to reply to the boy who had only started speaking to me again 4 days ago, who had just confessed that he broke up with my sister to be with me.

Silence filled the room as we just gazed into each others eyes. While all of this confessing was going on, I didn't realize that Ellie was still downstairs pissed at both of us. He told everyone he found someone else, better than Ellie. "When you told her the reason you broke up, you said that you found someone else, better than her?" I questioned knitting my eyebrows. "because I did find someone better. I found you" he said it like it was a normal thing to say. "B-but..you...i" he interrupted my babbling by placing his index finger on my lips. "I wanted to do or say something to you, but I just couldn't for Ellie's sake. I couldn't just dump her and then start dating her sister. It wouldn't be right. Sooo" he dragged. He slowly moved his index finger from my shaking lips. 

"I'm not the kind of guy who would do that to someone. I never, ever wanted to hurt Ellie's feelings. But I-i. I care about you Chloe". My heart began to raise with joy and guilt. If only I knew the real reason Harry broke up with her. I don't know what to do. What to say even, the fact that he's told me this has just made me feel worse about myself.

"y-you can't H-harry" I stutter looking away from his eyes and down to the floor. He quickly moved his hands from mine and walked away, then stopping. He faced the balcony and ran his fingers through his dark, thick curls. 

"Your saying that I can't care about you" He spun around and leant his hand against my dresser. I nodded in response, folding my arms, continuing to look down at the floor. The tone in his voice changed dramatically.

"Well that's though shit Chloe because I do. I fucking care about you and I can't stop. I've wanted to say something to you in class but I couldn't because of Ellie. 4 days ago, the day I talked to you about Ellie. It was the most nerve wracking thing I've done. I thought you hated me for what I did to your sister" he chuckled and walked around my room. His eyes searched around the room and something caught his eye. 

A picture of me, Ellie and Kelly (mine and Ellie's close girlfriend) in Monte Carlo. That was a really great summer. No boyfriends, no boys, just me, my sister and my other best friend. 2 weeks of free drama. But soon it ended and we had to go back to all the drama. But those 2 weeks I will never forget. As I glanced over at the picture, it reminded me of how close Ellie and I are...or...where.

Shit. This has broken us. It's broken our bond as sisters. This one boy, this one stupid boy has come into our lives and ruined us. He's ruined everything. But I still care for him, as much as I hate him right now for breaking our bond. I still care.

I can't blame this all on Harry. It's not all his fault. It's mine too. I was the one who got stupidly drunk and ended up sleeping with him. So, that means I've kinda broken the sister bond me and Ellie had. 

"I remember that summer" I smile and chuckle to myself, reminiscing about all the fun and mischief we got up to. 

"That was the best summer of my life. And then I had to come home to my sucky life"

He smiled at the photo and placed back down on the desk. Walking over to me slowly, he ran his fingers across my bed. 

"Do you hate me?" Harry stopped for a moment and played with his fingers. 

I sighed. "Of course I don't hate you Harry. I care about you too but I can't. You and Ellie and what I've done and she's going to hate me forever and I just can't care about you like I do Harry because" I stopped myself before I confess about my feelings for him.

"Because what?" Harry walked closer to me and I stepped back, leaving space between us. As I stepped back, he stepped closer, until my back was pressed against my door and Harry's body was close to mine.

"Because what Chloe?" I could see the smirk emerging from his lips. 

Because I love you and if my sister finds out that I do love you then everything will be ruined 

"because I care about my sister. I care about her feelings, and funnily enough, I care on her opinion about me. And right now, I care more about my sisters feelings and they way I've hurt and torn her part, more than I care about you" I took a long breath and realized that was the right thing to say.

As much as I care for that boy, I care for my sister more right now. Though she hates so much, I need to fix things with her before anything between me and Harry. I need to focus on my sister.

The smirk dropped, and so did the colour in his face. Backing away from me, he turned to the balcony door and walked out, jumping over the ledge and into the garden. I didn't bother stopping him. I needed to focus on other things than boys. 

I need to focus on reality.
