Broken trust & Lies| Harry Styles

Chapter 22

I walk downstairs to see if Alex is still in the house but I find no one.

He must have left.

I walk into the kitchen to see if he left a note but of course he didn't.

I may as well cook breakfast but before I could there was a knock at the door. I open the door and its Harry.

"Hi" I say

"Hi, is Alex home?" he asks

"No he isn't"

"Did he let you stay?"

"No. But I went to talk to him but I just chickened out"

"Can I come in?" Harry asks

I nod and move to the side so that Harry can walk through.

"Want some food? I was making breakfast"

"What are you making?"

"Not a gourmet breakfast" I say

"Well I guess I can deal with a bowl of cereal" Harry says smiling at the end

The room then goes silent. It's not a comfortable silence. It's awkward. Neither Harry nor I speak.

"Want to get to know each other?" Harry suggest

"Why?"

"Well unless you have another idea" Harry says

"Ok 20 questions?" I asks

Harry nods. I'm assume I'm asking first as Harry sits and waits.

"Favourite colour?" I ask Harry

"Blue. Favourite food?" Harry asks

"Lasagna or Gummy bears. How did you join the gang?"

"Um, Birthday" Harry asks avoiding my question

"No, I asked you a question"

"Oh what was it?" harry says playing dumb

"I asked how you joined this gang. Alex doesn't let anyone join. You must be lucky or there is another reason"

"We are old mates" Harry says

"I'm going to find out the rest of the story later. Your turn for a question" I say

"Are you a good cook?"

"Sometimes why?"

"Because you just poured orange juice in the bowl instead of milk" Harry says pointing to the bowl of cereal I just made.

I look down and see that I have orange juice instead of milk in the bowl.

"Are you kidding me" I yell

"I'm sure it's edible still" Harry says grabbing the bowl from my hands.

He grabs a spoon from the draw and gets a mouthful.

"Are you sure it's edible" I ask smiling at Harry.

His facial expression changes as soon as the food is put into his mouth.

Harry runs over to the sink and spits out the cereal.

"Definitely not edible. Can I have something to get the taste out of my mouth" Harry asks

I grab a cup and pour water into it and hand it over to Harry.

"Thanks" harry says

"Want me to make you something else?" I asks Harry

"No. I will make myself something. I rather not die because of your cooking skills. You can't even make cereal correct" Harry says.

"You were distracting me" I say defending myself

"I know I'm quite a good sight to look at" Harry says

"I didn't mean it like that" I say

"Are you sure? your face is going a bit red there" he says pinching my cheeks

I slap his hand away and hide my face while Harry just laughs at me.

"What do you think your doing?" I hear a voice say

I turn and find Alex and luckily no Sally

"I um I am ma-aking breakfast" I say stumbling over my words

"Why are you still here?"

"I'm not leaving Alex" I say I wasn't leaving this is my home as well

"Why should I let you stay?"

"I will try and forgive Sally and I won't be such of pain" I tell Alex

"Fine. You can stay" Alex says walking away "Oh and Harry, thanks for helping me"

Helping him?

"What did he mean by that?" I asks Harry

"Oh um just a job" Harry says sounding unconvincing

"Are you sure?'

"Yes"

"Whatever" I say leaving the kitchen.

"Ally. Come back' Harry says

"No"

"Ally. When I ask you to do something I expect you to do it" Harry says

"Guess what Harry, when someone treats me like I'm a dog and expects me to do as they say, you should know I'm not going to listen"

I wasn't staying near Harry. We finally were having fun and getting along but he has to be a dick and tell me what to do. He is so closed off, he never tells me anything. No one in this house does. I live here yet I feel like I'm intruding most of the time.

All the secrets are annoying.

What I do want to know is what did Alex mean?
