I Knew You Were Trouble || h.s. [on hold]

Chapter 8

*Recap: "Answer it!" She says and points at my phone. I nod, "ok ok." I press the accept button and slowly put my phone up to my ear, "hello?"*

I fucking answered it. Why? You might ask. Because I'm a fucking dumbass. "Hello?" It was silent for a moment. I sat there waiting for an answer but no one said anything. "Aria" He finally spoke up. "What do you want, Harry?" I growled, a little pissed at him. Zayn told him that he ran into me. The one thing I was hoping Zayn wouldn't do. "Zayn told me about your little encounter with him. I'm rubbing off on you, eh Aria?" I can tell he's smirking. That's just what he does when he knows that what he says makes me mad. I look at Gio, clearly irritated. She takes the phone away from me and puts it up to her ear. "No! No!" I mouthed to her but of course, she didn't listen. "Hi I'm Gio. Aria's best friend. I swear to god, if you hur--" I quickly take the phone away from her and put it up to my ear. I can hear Harry laughing like it's the most funniest thing he's heard. "Gio, you're fucking mad." I snap at her as she shrugs and continues to look through the clothes. "I see your friend is protective over you. That's lovely." He snickered as Zayn was saying something in the background. "Yeh. She is my best friend. Mate, let me talk to Zayn." I started looking through the clothes again. I heard Harry groan, "Why?" Mate, if I wanna talk to someone, let me talk to someone. "Because I want to talk to him. If you could please give Zayn the phone, that'd be great." I scowl at him. Without a word, he gave Zayn the phone. "Zayn, why did you tell him that you ran into me?" I stopped looking through the clothes and just stood there. "Well, because you guys are tog--"

"Not at the moment. He's an asshole." I huff and sit on the floor, not giving a fuck if I'm in a store or not.

Why did I even agree to dating that asshole? I mean, one of these times he'll end up gaining the courage to beat me. He has anger issues. Maybe I should sign him up for anger management? Will that fix him? Probably not. I could just actually end it. Maybe forget about him. That actually sounds like a good idea, doesn't it? He'd probably try to stop me from leaving him, but it wouldn't work.

Zayn didn't say a thing after what I just had said. I take a deep breath, trying to get myself to tell Harry it's over. Well first, Zayn needs to give him the phone. Forgot about that. "Zayn, give Harry the phone." I simply say and look up at Gio, flashing her a smirk.

I heard Harry's voice on the other end, "Hello"

I think I should really do it. My heart is telling me to end it and just forget about him, but my mind is telling me to stay with him. Follow your heart, right?

"Sorry to say this, Harry..." I paused for a second as I looked up at Gio once more.

"What?" Harry said, clearly confused.

I clear my throat and take a deep breath, "Sorry to say this Harry but we're over.." And with that, I hang up the phone. I stand up, sliding my phone into my back pocket.

"Ari, you didn't" Gio looked at me as she grabbed another shirt. I looked at her arm and laughed. She had loads of clothes hanging on her arm.

"Gio, you don't need that many clothes!" I pointed at her arm, "But yes, I did." I nod, putting one hand on her shoulder. "Anyways, go pay for that stuff then we'll go back to my house!" Gio nodded and headed to the front desk. I followed her, starting to laugh. I swear, this girl is crazy.

After she pays we head out to the car. That's when Gio asked me the question, "Why did you break up with him?" I got into my car and started it, pulling my seat belt over my chest to buckle up. "Well, Gio, he is an asshole. The last day of school, he wasn't so nice. He punched me because I wouldn't let him kiss me. When I first went over to his house, he called me a bitch because I wasn't ready to have sex with him." I pulled out of the mall parking lot and drove home. "Oh" Was all she said. "Yeh" I nod, keeping my eyes on the road.

We arrive at my house and walk inside. "Would you like anything to eat or drink?" I ask, throwing my keys onto the nearest table. "Yeh, sure! I'll be upstairs." Gio smiles before running upstairs. I go into the kitchen, shaking my head and giggling. I open the fridge looking for something to drink, that's when I heard the front door fly open.

I shut the fridge and slowly turn around to see the one and only Harry, standing inside my house. He slams the door behind him, causing the loud bang to be heard throughout the house. Shit! If my parents see him inside the house, I'm dead!

I quickly run over to him, "Listen, you can't be here!" I whisper, opening up the front door. He glares at me as he slammed the door again, "No, you listen. You can't just fucking break up with me." He scowled. I heard footsteps behind me, causing me to slowly turn around.

Please, please, please, don't be my parents.

Just my luck. It is my parents, standing there with their mouths open. That's when Gio ran downstairs. Wow, took her a bit.

"Mom and dad, it's no--"

"Look at me!" Harry spins me around to look at him, "We're not over." I groan and push him back, "We are! Now fucking leave. I'm already in enough trouble. Now, open up that fucking door and walk your little ass out of my house and to your car." I open up the front door and push him out, quickly closing the door behind him.

I clothes my eyes for a second before turning around to face my parents. "You were dating him?" My mom shouts, taking a step forward.

"Yes, bu--"

My dad steps in... "You know how we feel about the fucking kid but yet you go ahead and date him anyway. Aria, you're grounded. Now go to your room."

I shake my head, "It's not like I wanted to date him! He already had me in his sight and wouldn't leave me alone until I said yes!" That was a lie. I kind of did willing date him but I only lied to get out of being grounded.

It didn't work.

"I said go to your room." My dad growled before pointing to the stairs.

I rolled my eyes, "Whatever! Fuck off" Those words slipped out of my mouth, causing me to quickly run upstairs. I honestly didn't mean to say that. I was just... pissed. I heard my mom gasp as I got to the top. Fucking parents are so annoying.

I'll be in a lot more trouble for letting those two words slip out. I wasn't thinking whatsoever.

I went into my room, followed by Gio, who shut the door after she walked in. I sat on my bed and looked at her, "I'm so sorry you had to see that."

Gio giggles and sits next to me, "Ari, you always argued with your parents in front of me. It's fine."

I put my head in my hands, thinking about what just happened. Someone kill me now. I groaned before laying down on my bed.

If Harry had never came over, I wouldn't be in this mess. Sometimes, I just feel like I should move out of state. Get away from it all. Go back to New York with Gio. I'd never have to see Harry ever again!

I stared up at the ceiling, starting to think. Is there something I could've done different?
