After lunch I run out to Liam's car. As I open the passenger door to the big Jeep a hand grabs my wrist. I turn and I see Harry. My heart stops and my breath catches in my lungs. "Nene please don't go with him. I really need to talk to you. " I snatch my wrist away from him feeling a burning sensation spread throughout my chest. I take a few deep breaths trying to keep the tears back; I can barely look at him, "We have nothing to talk about Harry. " My voice cracks when I say his name.

"Then can you just listen? Please, just stay with me and listen. I am so deeply sorry. " I suddenly become aware of the fact that he is fresh out of juvie from beating up Louis. I also remember that Louis went to the hospital after Harry beat him up. I try to think back to how he looked when I was at Liam's house but I can't picture it, oh right I didn't look at him. In fact I don't think I ever want to picture him again... Oh my gosh that's what he wants to talk about. He wants to discuss the whole situation. "I have to go. " I pull open the door to Liam's Jeep and get in without hesitation.

When Liam pulls off I look in the rearview mirror. I see Harry standing alone in the parking lot. If I didn't know any better I would think he was crying, but that's insane. Why would he cry after what he did to me? Also why would he beat up Lou, or ask to talk to me? Nothing he's done recently has made much sense. All I know is that this is a real break up, and I don't like it.

"Are you alright? " Liam's voice brings me back. I'm staring out the window blankly but I shake my head without looking at him. "Do you want to talk about it? " That's the last thing I want to do. I shake my head again. There's a pause before he speaks once more, "Music? " I nod and I'm slightly aware of music starting to play in the background.

I watch the trees go by out the window as we drive in silence. I'm not really sure what music is playing but at some point I'm pretty sure I heard Kanye West. After a while I notice that the trees and greenery I was looking at have been replaced by sand and water. Looking across the sand I'm surprised by the lack of people before I remember that it's a Monday afternoon. Not to mention it's barely even seventy degrees out.

I look at my driver and he quickly looks away from me back at the road. I decide to pretend I didn't notice. "I don't have a bathing suit. " He nods his head towards the back seat, "Dre dropped one off during lunch. You can go back there and change. I won't look, I swear. " I turn away from him, "It doesn't matter if you do. I think we're a little bit past looking. " He chuckles but it seems more nervous than amused.

"Yeah... Dre agreed with me that you needed a bit of time away. " I climb into the back seat and grab my bag mentally thanking Dre for packing my two piece that covers my entire stomach and has a skirt. "I'm so glad to have two great guys looking after me... well three if you count Cal. " Dre also packed the dress that goes over my bathing suit. It's long sleeved and comes down to my knees. It covers all my bruises except the ones on my neck and face.

Liam makes eye contact with me in the rearview mirror, "Four. " I look away. I know who he is talking about. "I know he's an ass, or a dick if you prefer, but he is so miserable. All he does is talk about you and ask me how you are. He isn't the same person, he just isn't happy. He has never stopped looking out for you. " I can feel tears coming as Liam speaks. "He really loves you Toni. He's loved you since the two of you met. I mean, I like you but it's nothing compared to Harry. He started saving money for this ring-"
