It takes two (Harry styles)

chapter 80

Riley's P.O.V.

lilli said she was gonna give me details on where the place is. She just left and I haven't left my room. I started getting hungry so I slowly crept downstairs hoping Harry didn't hear me. he was in the living room watching tv so I carefully went down the stairs trying not to make a noise.

me being my clumsy self I missed a step and slid down the stairs. I started cracking up at myself. Harry came rushing over. he put his hand over his mouth to try and stop him from laughing.

"are you okay?" he said giggling.

"yeah I'm fine." I laughed back. he stuck out his hand and helped me up. for a minute I forgot about everything that happened. I stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

"look Riley about what I said earlier-" I cut him off.

"no it's fine. it was just in the heat of the moment. I didn't take it personally."

"wait so your not mad?" he asked surprised.

"no."

"your not fucked up, you know that right?"

"I believe it more and more each day." he walked up to me and grabbed my hands.

"your not fucked up at all. you are perfect." he said.

"then why do you keep cheating on me?" I fired. he was speechless. just then my phone vibrated.

from:Lilli:))

the therapy is in Florida. we leave in 2 months instead of 2 days. our councilor changed the date. we have to go unless we can become 2 months clean.

Florida?! maybe this really is the end of me and Harry. or maybe I can stay 2 months clean.

To: Lilli:))

I'll try, if you try:)

i never got a reply after that.

"riley i cant even begin to tell you how sorry i am." harry said.

"you know what? its okay. i really dont want to bring it up again." all i see is guilt and regret flood his eyes. he's really sorry. "and i can tell you regret it, so can we just forget about it?" he looked surprised.

"are we still together?" i took a deep breath and nodded my head yes.

"harry i mean it this time, this your last chance. if you blow it then im leaving you for good." i looked him dead in the eye, meaning every word. he ran up to me and picked me up.

"never EVER am i going to take a sip of alcohol without you by my side. I really thought I screwed up this time." he said sadly.

"you almost did. Harry I mean it, if this happens again I'm not coming back to you. whenever you are with lexi i need to be there okay?" he nodded sadly.

"im sorry it had to come to this." he said. "are you still leaving in 2 days?" i shook my head no.

"if i can stay 2 months clean then i don't have to go."

"can i see it?" he asked. i lifted up my sleeve to see a bandage covering my wrist. i slowly ripped the sticky sticker off. his eyes widened at the depth of it. he slowly brought it to his lips and placed small kisses along it. "can i take you to dinner? please?"

"sure, let me go get ready." he nodded. i went upstairs into my room. i went over to my closet and picked out plain jeans, a army green long sleeved shirt, a light tan infinity scarf. i added tall brown leather boots with a buckle on the side and the top. since it was a little chilly i threw a light tan sweater over it. (picture on side) i grabbed my phone and slipped it in my back pocket.

i made my way downstairs and saw harry waiting by the door, in his signature tight white t-shirt and skinny jeans.

"beautiful as always." he complimented me. "the resturaunt is right down the street, do you want to walk or drive?"

"lets walk." i smiled at him. he took my hand and laced our fingers together. we were walking in silence until a picture came into my mind. the picture of Harry and Lexi on the couch. I flinched.

"are you okay?" Harry asked.

"yeah I just can't get a picture out if my mind."

"what picture?"

"the picture of you and Lexi kissing on the couch." I cringed thinking of it. we were walking by a park. Harry sighed and took my hand, leading me to a bench. I looked at him confused.

"Riley, I can't even put into words on how sorry I am. I don't know wh-" I cut him off.

"Harry, just stop." he looked scared of what I was gonna say next. "stop apologizing! I know how sorry you are, Harry. I get it. I want to put that behind us though okay? let's just forget about it, yeah?" he nodded. his eyes glassed over. he looked so vulnerable. I scored closer to him and wrapped my arms around his torso. " babe, don't cry! everything is okay!" I said. he nuzzled his head into my neck and cried.

"Riley, I hurt you! you cut because of me! I broke your heart" he cried.

"Harry no matter how many times you break my heart I will always love you." I rubbed his back soothingly. "how about, we ditch dinner, go get some ice cream and come back here and lay on the grass?" I asked him.

"sounds good." he pulled away. his eyes were puffy and red.

"hey, Harry?" he turned and looked at me. "I love you."

"I love you too, with all my heart." he smiled. he stood up and put his hand out, signaling me to grab it. I reached up and grabbed his hand. my petite hands in his large ones fits together like a puzzle piece. "your my everything. without you I am not myself."

"let's go get ice cream!" I screamed like a little kid. he laughed and grabbed my hand. we walked down to the little ice cream shop.

we walked up to the counter, I smiled and the middle aged lady smiled back.

"what can I get the lovely couple this evening?"

"can I get a small vanilla cone with rainbow sprinkles please?" she nodded and jotted it down.

"can I get a large chocolate cone with rainbow sprinkles please?" Harry asked.

"your total is 7.54." she handed us our ice creams and smiled warmly at us. we thanked her and walked back to the park.
