Psycho

Chapter 6: i was convinced

Ariana's POV

I woke up, hoping i finally ended my nightmare. My vision was blurred and my head ached as the room was spinning. As my head stared pounding, buzzing was all i could hear.

I then could rarely hear, but somebody open the door. "Ariana?" a voice said in concern. It sounded familiar and i automatically assumed it was Harry.

"Harry" i said weakly.

It was quiet for a moment, yet i couldn't hear that well. His voice was almost unheard, to me. "Yes" is all he said. Again, silence. My mouth was completely dry and it made it harder to talk. "Come closer" i said "please" my voice is not only dry but it was weak. Harry came closer. I could see his blurry figure coming closer to me. his face was right in front of mine. I knew that i had to do it. Before Jack did anything to Harry while i was still weak. I tried to move my arms and i succeeded. I wrapped them around Harry's neck and i pulled him closer. His lips suddenly were pressed against mine.

His are chapped, and i felt nothing. No butterflies at all. Nothing. But maybe it was because he didn't kiss me back.

Harry's POV

The guards opened the door and i entered and i saw something that i wish i hadn't. Jared's lips were pressed against Ariana's. Her hand wrapped around his neck and his hand on her waist. Anger was filling me inside as the door shut closed. My eyes were filled with tears but i tried to hold them back. Ariana let go of Jared and she laid there, not moving at all. She closed her eyes. Jared smiled as he turned to me. Now i was filled with even more anger. I clenched my fists as i ran to him. "What the hell are you doing with her?!" I shouted. I pushed him against the wall with my hands on his neck, choking him.

"Calm down-"

"No, you shut the fuck up and listen to me! Don't ever touch her! You got that? Why the hell would you even kiss her?!"

"Why the hell do you even care?" Jared questioned as he tried to escape.

"Because i love her!!" The words slipped out of my mouth. Shit.

Jared's smile grew wider. He knows that i like her and he will do whatever he can just to make me so mad and to get me dead.

I felt a tear stream down my face.

"Aww. It's okay Harry. I will take good care of her when you're dead" he smiled "and just remember that after they get you..." the room was suddenly quiet. "they will get her too-" "SHUT THE FUCK UP!!" I shouted as i choked him harder. He was turning red, and struggling to get my hands off his neck. "Harry, i don't think you understand" he tried his best to speak.

"What do you mean?" i said as i loosened my hand a little from his neck so he could explain. "Ariana didn't stop me" he said. His smile grew wider as i looked down at Ariana. She was passed out.sleeping. The drugs they gave her made her calm, but she was completely weak. I looked back at Jared and before i could release my hand from his neck the door suddenly swung open all the way. The guard ran towards me and grabbed my hands as they released Jared's neck. "FUCK YOU JARED!" I yelled one last time as they pulled me out of the room and dragged me.

***

I woke up feeling dizzy. All that yelling, i haven't done it in a while. I am glad that Ariana didn't see any of it. She would of thought that i was really psycho. 'Ariana' was all i could think about. Even if she was drugged, I wonder if she heard me yelling. I wonder if she thinks that i really am crazy. Fucking Jared.

'Ariana didn't stop me'. Those words repeated in my head. Over and over again. It made me even more dizzy. It also had me thinking. Did Ariana try to stop him? Was she too weak to stop him? Or did she kiss him first? No. She wouldn't. She hates him. I know because she was always uncomfortable around him. There are so many questions that i have for her. The thought of her and Jared together made me sick. I don't know if i am mad at Ariana too. Maybe she enjoyed the kiss. Maybe she told him that she loves him and she kissed him. No thats stupid and crazy. She would never do that. At least i hope she wouldn't. I was in the corner faced against the wall, lying on the floor. The room was cold but very bright. I didn't want to open my eyes all the way because i would see Jared or Ariana. I keep on replaying Ariana and Jared kissing and as i keep on thinking about it, I now know now that i am disappointed at Ariana. I thought she loved me. I thought she really cared. But i guess not. I have to think now. This is reality. Love is hard to find. It's also complicated. But i don't think I am in love, i never was. At least, not with Ariana. It was like she was using me. Or she was messing with my feelings. All i know is that i am not in love, and i never will be.

"Harry" a voice said.

Ariana's POV

As i opened my eyes, i realized that the room wasn't spinning. Though, i have a small headache. I can rarely remember what happened yesterday. It was all a blur.

I sat up and Harry was leaving the room with Marie. He must be getting a check up. He didn't even look at me while he was leaving. Jared walked into the room and walked towards me. "Hey Ariana" he said softly. I still hated him. I felt like he was up to something. I gave him a fake smile. "Are you feeling better?" He asked as he sat down next to me. I nodded. It was quiet. Jared stared across the room and i was lost in my thoughts. Then a sudden question came into my head. I know that i shouldn't ask Jared but he was the only one i could talk to right now. "Hey Jared?" He looked at me "yeah?"

"Does Harry seem.....different then he was before? Has he changed at all?"

Jared stared at me for a minute.

"Yeah. He does seem different. Why?"

"I-"

"You love him, don't you?"

I stared at Jared. His question didn't surprise me at all. I nodded.

"Ariana." He paused, as if he were trying to find the right words to say. "You can't" he said and I automatically looked back at him.

"W-what?"

"You can't love Harry"

"Why not?" I asked, confused.

"You don't get it don't you?" He asked and i shook my head. Jared got up and sighed. "Ari.....Harry doesn't love you...He is just using you"

My eyes widened as the words came out of his mouth. "What do you mean?" I said getting a little angry at Jared. He could be lying to me.

"We all know that Harry had a family before he was here, right?" I nodded and gestured him to continue. "Well. He was never alone. That night when he came here, he was alone until you were the only one there with him. He was in a place of darkness all by himself, or so he thought. Ariana you don't get it. He is just using you so that he won't be alone." I was shocked and i had to keep on thinking about it so that i could fully understand. "I mean, come on, do you seriously think he would make it if it wasn't for you?" Jared asked.

It made perfect sense. Harry is just using me. But i shouldn't jump to conclusions. Jared could be making this up. "Let me guess. He was scared the first night. You comforted him. He thanked you a million times the next day. You found out that Jack The Asshole, wanted to kill him-" "How did you know about that?" My voice was shaky.

"Everybody knows already. After that scene you made when you found out. Anyways, You didn't want him to die. So you tried to spend lots of time with him so that maybe, just maybe Jack wouldn't take him away from you.

You two were inseparable. And thats when Harry got another idea to use you. He would always be with you so that....." He trailed off.

I looked up at him.

"So that what??" I asked as my eyes got watery. He didn't respond.

"ANSWER ME!! SO THAT WHAT?!" The tears were streaming down my face. Jared was making me go crazy. Maybe all this stuff was true. I don't want it to be, but maybe it was. It made perfect sense. Jared was still. He stared at me, smiling. He came down to hug me. "It's okay Ariana. You had to find out eventually. At least most of it." I pushed him back. "NO!" I got up and pushed him down. "YOU'RE A FUCKING LIAR! THIS ISN'T TRUE!" I wiped my tears. "Ariana, how could i be lying? You know that all of that is true. About his history, and about Jack wanting to sentence him to death. This all adds up."

He was right. All of it does add up. I don't want to believe him, but I was convinced. Right now, as far as i know. Harry is just using me.
