The Break Down

11.

(Taylor's POV)

"Wait...still?" I ask Harry in disbelief. He nods and purses his lips. "Yeah...still." I shake my head and go back to typing. "I can't believe that she won't let you see her." Harry frowns but plays it off like he's not hurt by it. "I know you miss your sister, Hazza..." he ignores me and I frown.

I push my chair back and look at him sympathetically. He just lazily stacks books on his cart and I say, "why don't you go home early." His head snaps to me and he closes his eyes​. "No I'm fine." I give him my 'mom' Look and he chuckles slightly.

"Don't you dare 'mom look' me." I smirk slightly and say, "fine, you don't have to go home, but if you would like to I'm telling you that it's okay." He smiles thankfully and nods. I shake my head and roll my eyes with a smile swiveling my chair back to my laptop.

After a while I get a call from Ian and I smile and Harry goes. "The old hubby?" I shake my head and answer the phone. "Well hello there sir, what can I do you for?"

He chuckles on the other end and then says, "greetings good lady, this fine day is sadly too dull without your presence are you free for some down time?" I laugh wholeheartedly and respond.

"My oh my, somebody's forward. Actually I'm at work." He makes a fart noise and says, "BORING!" I laugh and move the phone a bit from my ear and place it back. "Ian that was ridiculous!, anyways what do you need me to come over for?"

He laughs and says, "I just thought we could hang out cause we are friends after all." I roll my eyes and say, "sure, let's say around six?" He hums and says, "yes that sounds fine." I clear my throat and say, "you think I could bring the fam?"

He's quiet for a while and I bite my lip. "Ian?" He takes a breath and says, "oh yeah of course sorry, I'd love to meet little you." I smirk and say, "and Zayn?" He makes an 'eh' and I roll my eyes and snort. "I guess him too...I'll make us something good to eat I'll see you later gorgeous."

"Yeah yeah, see you later blue eyes." He chuckles and I hang up. Harry gives me a skeptical look and I smile. "Yes Harry?" He smirks slightly and shrugs. He holds his hand up to his ear like a phone and makes his really deep voice obnoxiously high.

"See you later blue eyes." I laugh and say, "I don't sound like that." He shrugs again and says, "you do in my head." I groan and smile. "Well if you must know that was my new friend Ian." Harry nods and says, "the one kidnapped you?"

I look to the side and tilt my head and purse my lips sarcastically and nod. "Uh huh." Then look down, Harry gives me a stern look and I roll my eyes. "Okay given my history of forgiving the wrong people I know that this looks bad."

Harry huffs and rolls his eyes. "You think?" I glare and say, "but...this time feels different. Like I know I can trust him...I feel like I've known him forever which is really weird but, I think it's a good thing."

Harry stares at me for a while and then the dreaded question. "Taylor...I've known you for a long time and don't take any offence by this....but are you...cheating on Zayn?"

I feel rage in the pit of my stomach and calmly say. "Don't take any offence by this Harry, but who the fuck do you think you are?!?" I am seething at him and he glares at me. "I'm just asking because the way you're talking about...this...this-"

I slam my hand on the desk and lean forward. "This what Harry?!?, this friend!, that's all he is to me and you of all God damn people should know that I am not a cheater."

He glares at me and says, "why are you getting so defensive?" I look at him completely shocked and pissed off. "Harry what the fuck!, I'm not cheating on him Ian is literally just a friend, I don't understand how my best friend of twenty two years is accusing me of something like that when he damn well knows how I feel about it."
