Smooth Criminal - Styles - Completed

Chapter 15

´´Well, don’t you look cheerful today?’’ Harry jokes as I walk into the living room with a angry look on my face. ‘’Shut up.’’ I snap at him as I drop my bag on the sofa and start looking for my parents. They’re probably both working, but I can still try.

‘’What’s wrong?’’ I hear Harry ask behind me as he follows me to wherever I’m walking to. I ignore him and shut my bedroom’s door behind me, right in his face. I grab my phone from my pocket and look for dad’s phone number.

‘’Vicky, talk to me. What’s wrong? What happened? Is it Ryan?’’ Harry grabs my phone out my hands and I try to grab it back, but fail miserably. ‘’Give me back my phone Harry!’’ I yell as I nearly jump on top of him. Of course he still doesn’t give me back my phone and forces me to tell him what happened when I was at school. ‘’Just give it back Harry! You’ve already caused enough trouble!’’ He frowns at me, his eyes almost look sad.

I didn’t mean to say that, not like that at least. It’s not Harry’s fault the police took a conclusion like that. ‘’I knew it… why didn’t you just tell me?’’ I’d expected him to yell at me, but he’s so calm.

‘’I’m sorry… I-I… God, Harry just give me back my fucking phone!’’ I’m so annoyed right now. Without saying another word he gives me back my phone and leaves my room. I didn’t mean to say what I said, but I have to call my parents before I’ll apologize. I try to call both of my parents, but they don’t answer their phones. After trying for at least ten times, I leave them voicemail messages and lock my phone again.

I should go apologize to Harry, it was really mean what I said, but he shouldn’t have pushed me so much. I walk to the other side of the hallway and knock on Harry’s door for about five times but don’t get a respond. ‘’Harry…’’ I sigh deeply, pressing my forehead against the wooden door. At that moment exactly he opens the door and walks out. He has a black sports bag hung over his shoulder.

‘’What are you doing?’’ I frown at him as he starts walking to the stairs. ‘’Leaving.’’

No shit…

‘’Harry, stop, if you’d just let me explain why-‘’   

‘’Why? You want me to leave? To fuck up and get out of your life? I get it Victoria, I’m the cause of all your shit, I know that.’’ He yells at me as he swiftly turns around so he’s facing me.

‘’No! Harry, fuck, if you’d just let me finish my sentence!’’ I yell back at him, and he finally shuts up. ‘’There was a policeman at school… for me.’’ He raises his brows and finally keeps his mouth shut. ‘’They didn’t come for you, well, not directly.’’ I frown to myself.

I tell him everything that has been said in the conversation and get even more paranoid when I realize my parents still haven’t called me back yet. Suddenly Harry wraps his arms around me, and I want him to never let go of me, which is quite impossible, but still… ‘’I’m so sorry Victoria, it’s my fault.’’ He mumbles into my hair as I press my face into his chest.

‘’No, it’s not.’’ I sigh, he took part in this too, but it’s not all his fault. He lets go of me and sadly smiles down at me. He’s so much taller than I am. ‘’Let’s go downstairs and wait for them, okay?’’I nod my head in agreement and grab his bag from the floor. When I feel how light it is I open it to see there’s only his own shirt and black skinny jeans in it.

‘’You wanted to leave with only these clothes?’’ I frown at him. ‘’I can’t take someone else’s stuff.’’ He shrugs. ‘’I’ll buy you some new clothes, I can’t let you walk around in my parents’ clothes and I should probably give Ryan his back.’’ I say as we walk downstairs.

‘’You’re not going to buy anything.’’ He sternly speaks. ‘’Then let me get your stuff from your house.’’ I suggest, knowing exactly how he’s going to respond on it, but he needs to stop being so damn stubborn. ‘’Victoria,’’ He sighs annoyed. ‘’how many times do I have to tell you-‘’    

‘’I know Harry, I know, but I’m not a baby.’’ I reply annoyed. We wait for my parents for at least an hour, not really talking much, but they still haven’t shown up. ‘’Try to call them.’’ Harry says, getting quite impatience.

‘’I’ve already called them more than fifty times, it’s no use.’’ I sigh as I throw my phone to the other side of the sofa. ‘’Don’t you know if they have some important meeting or something?’’ He asks, getting on his feet. ‘’No, they’re free today because they’re flying to New York tomorrow.’’

Harry paces through the house, he looks like he’s thinking something but he doesn’t tell me. ‘’What are you thinking about?’’ I try to casually ask him. His head snaps up and he shakes his head at me. ‘’Nothing, nothing.’’

Sorry for the long wait! Having such a busy time with all the Christmas things and I'm studying for my exams and trying to see my friends and go out with them... So, please forgive me for the late and quite bad update. Already got the next chapter so there won't be a long wait... if I get enough votes and comments! :-) 

Hope you've had a lovely Christmas! :-)
