Hard To Get

Get Out!

I started breathing heavily once I saw that headline. I shut my eyes for a second then opened them back up before opening the magazine to the story about the headline.

Tears started falling more heavily as I revealed a picture of Taylor and Harry holding hands and.... kissing. I thought to myself maybe management forced this on him since he wasn't even smiling. But then I just broke down. 

"It's probably just a misunderstanding." Lucy tried to comfort me. 

"How can this be a misunderstanding. He's kissing her!" I cried. I can literally feel my heart breaking. 

"You need to talk to him Em. That's the only way you can clear the air." She said calmly. 

"That's the last thing I want to do right now." I cried out before rushing into my room and slamming the door. I buried my face into my pillow and cried. 

Lucy's POV 

"That's the last thing I want to do right now."  Em cried out before rushing into her room and slamming the door. 

I picked up my phone and dialed a number. 

"Hello?" 

"Harry. You need to come fix whatever hell you did." I stated bluntly into the phone. 

"What happened?" He asked as if he didn't know.

"You know sure in hell what happened. If you didn't realize, LA gets magazines too. Especially the ones where you are Taylor are caught kissing in it." I said angrily. 

"I'm on the next plane there." He said before hanging up. 

*The Next Morning* 

Emma's POV

"Come on Emma. You have to get up. It's noon. I called Libby and said you were sick. But please, at least come and eat something." I heard Lucy say as she stood in my doorway. 

"I'm not in the mood." I groaned and through a pillow over my face. 

"Come on let's go." She said grabbing my arm and pulling me out of bed and into the living room. I pushed the hair out of my face and opened my eyes. 

"What the hell are you doing here?!" I shouted at Harry who was standing by the couch with flowers in his hands. 

"I'm gonna go now." Lucy said before rushing out.

"I'm sorry Em-" He started. 

"Don't even go there. And you think flowers are going to fix this?!" I yelled starting to cry. 

"She came on to me Em. I'm sorry." He tried to continue before I interrupted him. 

"Why? That's all I want to know." I simply stated still in tears. 

"When the lads and I went out. Taylor was there. I was talking to Zayn when she came up to me and kissed me." He started. 

"How does that explain you two holding hands?" I asked shaking my head. 

"When I was walking out she basically did the same. She just ran up to me and held my hand."  He said swallowing hard. I took a deep breath. 

"Why didn't you just tell me when we talked yesterday?" I asked bitting my lip. 

"Because I thought you didn't need to know. I didn't think it would be published. And I didn't want this happening." He simply stated coming closer to me and trying to hold my hands. 

"Part of being in a relationship is having trust and being honest, Harry!" I cried after pushing away from him. 

"I'm sorry Emma. I really am. I'll do any-" 

"Get out." I cried.

"Em-" He started

"Get out!" I shouted. I stood there with tears in my eyes watching him leave. I felt my back hit the back of the couch. I slowly slid down the back of the couch crying. I place my face in my hands and let it all out. 

Harry's POV

"Part of being in a relationship is having trust and being honest, Harry!" She cried after pushing away from me. 

"I'm sorry Emma. I really am. I'll do any-" 

"Get out." She cried.

"Em-" I started

"Get out!" She shouted. I slowly nodded. I could feel tears forming in my eyes as I walked out of her apartment. I took one last look and saw her sitting on the floor with her back to the couch, crying. I had really hurt her. And this was all Taylor's fault. I know I should have told Emma what had happened but I was afraid this was going to happen. And it still did.
