*Harry’s POV*
“hey, Lucy, you wont mind if I go out for a bit will you?” I ask, walking in a handing her a cup of tea. Sam and Mai are snuggled up on the sofa and Tom is in the corner of the room. Harrison wasn’t in.
“why? Where do you need to go?” she asks, smiling and putting the mug down.
“well it’s Christmas soon and I need to get you a present.” I say, grinning at her.
“ooh yay!” she says, smiling back. “me and Mai are going shopping tomorrow for you and Sam.” She adds.
“cool.” I say, glancing at Sam. “well, I’d better be off. I’m going to stop off at Katy’s on the way; see if she wants to come.”
At this, Tom and Lucy both perk up. “what do you want with her?” asks Lucy, frowning.
“yeah, don’t think you can go nosing in my business.” Says Tom.
“I’m not, I just thought it would be nice to invite her. Plus, she’s always been good at getting presents so I think she can help me choose yours.” I say, holding out my hands in defence.
They both nod in approval so I walk up to Lucy, peck her on the lips and walk into the kitchen. I take my wallet off the counter, count the money up to £26, plus there is the money on my card and there is about £70 on that, but I don’t think I’ll need much of that; although I do want to get her a really good present.
“bye everyone!” I shout, looking in the mirror, opening the door and leaving.
Katy’s (and toms) flat is only about 5 minutes walk away so im there within no time. I knock on the door and she answers straight away, opening the door and grinning as soon as she sees me. “Harry oh my god I’ve missed you so much.” She says, wrapping her arms around me.
“I missed you too.” I pull away and take in her appearance. “God, what happened to you? You look exhausted.”
She laughs. “yeah, I am exhuatsed. I haven’t slept, I’ve been crying all the time and I’m not really eating. Your brothers really fucked me up.”
“yeah, well you’d better get dressed because I’m taking you out.”
She shakes her head. “Oh no, no you aren’t.”
“yes, I am. Don’t argue. I want you showered and dressed in 10 minutes and then I’m going to take you out, make you eat and you are going to help me buy Lucy a present for Christmas.”
She lets out a giggle. “see, this is why I love you.” She hugs me again. “I’ve missed you Harry.”
“I missed you too. Eh, who doesn’t love a bit of harry?” I say, winking.
“shut it.” She replies, yawning and walking away.
“wait, where are you going?”
“to get a shower.” She shouts.
“What? You’ll come?”
“sure. I need to get out one day.” She says, disappearing around the corner. I walk over to the sofa and make myself comfy. I turn on the Tv and watch ‘Big bang theory’ until she comes around the corner dressed with her slightly damp hair pulled back into a pony tail.
*Katy’s POV*
Waiting at the bus stop with Harry gave me time to put things into perspective.
I trust Jack. So what he told me is probably true. But I still doubt it a tiny bit. Is Tom really still in love with me? Does he love me more than Sara?
I turn to Harry. “so uh… Jack came over.”
“oh fuck, no he didn’t.” he replies, sighing.
“yeah, he did? Whats so bad about that?”
“Harrison rang me earlier. He reckons they are trying to set Jack and Sara together by making you and Tom get back together.”
And in that moment, I feel everything collapse around me.
Who can I trust?
*Sara’s POV*
“I didn’t want to tell you, but I had to. I cant let him keep doing this to you.” Says Jack, smiling slightly at me; but with a sad look in his eyes and I know that he cant be lying.
“so.. him and katy were… were doing stuff the whole time me and tom were together?”
He nods slowly. “Yeah, and I couldn’t bare to see him do it behind your back anymore so I had to tell you. Because… because I really care about you.” He says.
I go silent for a moment or two before meeting his eyes. “I care about you too, jack. But not in uh… not in anyway other than friendship.”
He frowns. “but you deserve someone who cares about you. You really do; and I care.
“I know you care, Jack. But I’m with Tom. I think.”
“he cheated on you. He slept with her, 8 times.”
“8? You said it was 7 earlier.” I reply.
“yeah, I meant that.” He says, clearing his throat. “could you not just give me a chance? Just let me take you out once. See how It goes? You deserve to have a nice time for once.”
“I had a nice time with tom.”
“but he had a nicer time with Katy.” He says, which causes a surge of anger to rise within me. He seems to notice. “shit, I’m sorry.”
“don’t worry Jack. Yeah, ok, I guess I’ll go out with you. But only as friends, ok?”
He nods, kisses me on the cheek and stands up. “I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning, yeah?”
“sounds good.” I reply weakly, watching as he leaves. When he does, I put my face in my hands and let myself cry. So the whole time I’ve been with tom, he’s been with Katy. It’s never been me and I should have realised that. He never loved me.
