"Breakfast?" Harry asked as I walked into the kitchen. I yawning and wiping the sleep from my eyes. "Nah, I'm not hungry this morning" I said, grabbing a cup of tea. Harry nodded "you can go home you know" he said, I gave him a confused look "why? Do you want me to?" I asked, he shrugged "I heard you on the phone with Ed, you said you missed him" he said, I sighed "I can survive without him, Haz. I'll stay as long as you need me here, okay?" I asked, he nodded with a smile.

"Thanks" he said, taking a bite of his food. "So, what are we doing today?" I asked, he looked up at me "what do you mean?" He asked "well, I was thinking we could get out and do something, you know, to get you out of the house" I said, he shook his head "I don't wanna do anything" he whispered. I sighed again "Harry, getting out of the house might make you feel better" I said, rubbing my hand up and down his arm, he yanked it away.

"Don't you get it?! I'm in fucking pain! I. Don't. Want. To. Do. Anything." He screamed at me. I closed my eyes, trying not to explode on him, because he is in pain. I stood up and walked over to where he was standing, and stood in front of him "I get you're in pain" I said, lowly. "I understand that. But locking yourself in this goddamn house isn't helping anything!" I said, gradually getting louder. He looked like he wanted to hit me, but he never would and I know that. He was breathing so heavily, I thought he could just kill over at any moment, his jaw so clenched so hard that he could break a tooth. "Shut up" he grumbled. "You want me to shut up? I'm trying to help you Harry! I want to help you, just tell me how!" I yelled. He looked like he was going to cry.

"Just leave. I want to be alone" he said "really?! Harry?" I asked, he shook his head, looking at the ground "you don't have to push me away" I said more clam now. He shook his head "I'm not, I just want to be alone, please" he said. I nodded "fine. I'll leave" I said, his head shot up "wait no! Don't go" he said, I furrowed my eyebrows "you just said you wanted to be alone" I said, he nodded "I know, but that's exactly what Louis said before he left" he said, my face softened, I put my coat down "okay" I said.

We ended up sitting down and watching a movie. Harry had fallen asleep, about halfway through. I sighed, turning the movie off and putting everything away.

Harry woke up just as I'd finished "are you leaving?" He asked, I nodded "yeah, I'm gonna go home and shower, then I'll be back" I said, giving him a small smile. He shot up off the couch "you promise you'll come back?" He asked, I nodded "yes, Harry. I swear" I said "I just want to shower and grab a couple things" I said. He sighed "why?" He asked, I was confused "why what?" I asked "why do you have to get things? What things do you have to get?" He asked, where did his sudden clinginess come from? What the hell.

"I just wan to grab some clothes Harry and take a shower" I said, putting my coat on. He grabbed my wrist, a little too tight. "Harry, what are you doing?" I asked, he was just looking at me, what is going on this him? "Hey, maybe you should lay down until I get back" I said, trying to take my wrist out of his grasp "ow, Harry that kind of hurts" I said, he cleared his throat and let go "I don't wanna lay down" he said, I sighed getting frustrated "then what do you want, Harry? I've been trying all day" I said, he looked kind of angry again. "Maybe I just want you to be here for me" he said "I am Harry! I just want to run home quick. It will take me less than an hour" I said, he looked down, his face turning red.

"FINE! Just go then, just like everyone else in my life! Leave!" He yelled, I was getting angry now. "I am not fucking leaving you, I care about you Harry! I said I'd be back in a fucking hour! Opened your goddamn ears and listen! Maybe thats why Louis left, you don't fucking listen!" After I saw the look on his face, I knew I shouldn't have said that. He looked even angrier, and sad.
