Bound Together

Chapter 23

Ruby's pov-

I wake up to muffled voices downstairs, like a crackling speaker phone, I look around me, no Harry again, i pray to god its him talking downstairs and not an intruder. I grab some jogging bottoms and a Harry's baggy jumper quickly throwing them on and going  downstairs. I  see Harry in the kitchen aggressviely shouting into his phone, I don't know what he's talking about, but he's so wrapped up in the conversation that he doesn't notice me standing in the doorway.

"I don't care what you have to do and I most certainly don't give a fuck about you're job! You need to sort this out before my girlfriend finds out!" I hear him shout at whoever he's speaking to.

"Before I find out about what Harry?" I say as calm as I can trying not to jump to conclusions. his head whips round with panic flashing across his face.

"I'll call you back, in the meantime I want this sorted." He speaks to the person before hanging up and palcing his phone in his back pocket. I stare at him waitng for some sort of explanation, but he just stands staring back.

"Before I find out what Harry?" I repeat myself, my voice becoming more stern.

"Nothing for you to worry about Ruby." He replies blankly before walking out of the kitchen and into the sitting room, I can't believe he's keeping something from me and even after I catch him talking about keeping something for me he still doesn't tell me. I storm into the sitting room behind him.

"Tell me Harry!" I say, getting more and more frustrated.

"There's nothing to tell." He once again replies just as bluntly as before.

"There obviously is though? What am I supposed to think walking into the kitchen to find you not only talk about me, but talking about something 'you don't want me to find out about' I don't understand why you won't just tell me."

"That's the thing Ruby you NEVER do understand do you?"

"What's that supposed to mean?" I ask

"It doesn't matter." He replies, I choose to let this one go but continue to  try and find out what he was talking about on the phone.

"Fine, but I want to know what you don't want me to find out about." I find myself shouting at him.

"Do you ever shut up? Why can't you understand that I've said that there's nothing to tell. I'm starting to remember all the reasons I could never stand you all these years!" He shouts back twice as loud.

I'm taken back at his rude comment, I can't believe he actually said that to me, I feel my eyes become watery but I refuse to cry in front of him, especially after he just said that.

"Well clearly you've gone back to rude Harry that I could never stand all these years!"

"Whatever Ruby I'm going to work." He gets up grabs his car keys walking out slamming the door behind him. As soon as the door slams I loose my strength as the tears stream down my face.

I can't remember the last time I cried this much over a boy I don't know how long I've sat hugging my knees, but the tears won't stop. I think about the times I would comfort Jess after she'd had fights with Niall and I always pictured her doing the same for me, this makes me cry more thinking about Jess and how much I miss her. I don't know what I would of done without Harry these past few months, because right now having no one at all is the shittiest feeling. I know I can't mope around in this huge house alone anymore, I get my trainers on grabbing the other set of car keys and drive.

Harry's pov-

I should of just told her, now shes probably thinking I'm cheating on her or that I don't trust her, when I reality that phone call was nothing but for her own safety. I know the moment she finds out about my job , she's going to be in more danger, she's in enough already, and it's all my fault. I couldn't stand being in the same room as her, when I was basically lying to her even though she begged me for the truth, and then I fuck up even more saying I remember how I couldn't stand her all these years, I don't think I could get any lower. I've always lied about my job, well kept it a secret, have I felt bad about lying before? No, but with Ruby it's different, she's different for any other girls I've been with, and lying  to her every day, makes me feel so dam guilty and I can't deal with the guilt anymore, every time I'm called into work I'm worrying about Ruby, how will she ever trust me if all the way through the our relationship I've done nothing but lie to her. I've been driving around for about 2 hours doing nothing but think, I don't know what I would of done without Ruby these past few months, because right now having no one at all is the shittiest feeling. I drive the only place I can think of going, where I won't feel so alone.

Ruby's pov-

I sit down on the grass, my face red and blotchy from crying, once again trying to hold back the tears. I can't bring myself to speak as I know as soon as I open my mouth I'll breakdown once again. I sit for what feels like hours not really doing anything but thinking, about pretty much everything, Harry mainly, but Jess and Alexa too. I just know that if Jess was here she would say all the right things, but she's not here and thinking about how she should be here, not just to comfort me be just to be alive, sets me off crying again. It starts to get cold and windy, my hair, is blowing all over the place, partly sticking to my damp cheeks from crying, I pull the sleeves of Harry's baggy jumper over my hands to try and keep them warm, I pull myself up from the ground, and begin to walk back to my car. I notice somebody walking this way it's not until they get closer and I see his brown curls blowing ion the wind as his dark green eyes meet mine that I realise its Harry.
