Bad Blood (h.s.)

Part Twenty-Five

Part Twenty-Five

Harry.

"I've had a slight change in plans," I tell Jonah, his wavering voice through the phone.

"What do you mean? We had a plan Styles. I said to get a relationship for the purpose to build up our strength. You need to dump her."

I grip the phone and look back at the bathroom, assuring myself that I won't get caught by Beth. I just can't dump her, even if it was just to make myself feel good about myself. The point of our relationship was to get her to fall for me and then I dump her, increasing my strength to practically be invincible. But my heart has seemingly taken a liking to her and I can't hurt her. Not now at least.

"I can't dump her. It would hurt her."

"That's the fucking point Harry! We are doing this for your career and you need to stop with her. You are in too deep for what we planned and you need to stop it."

I sigh and hold the phone close to my cheek, praying Beth doesn't walk out of the bathroom soon.

"Why should I break up with her if I've developed feelings? What if I like her? She's isn't bad and I trust that girl with everything in me."

"Do you hear yourself?! You are turning into one of those shitty softies! Get over her and do it quickly because I do not want some loved up dickhead in my gym!"

"How dare you even say that to me?! You are absolutely shitting me right now. That girl means everything to me and you expect me to break up with her. Whatever it was that possessed me to make this deal with you is absolutely fucking retarded. I shouldn't have done it."

I am nearly panting and the way he just tells me I have to is making me pissed off.

"You have no sense anymore! The girl is making you turn into some loved up psycho. Get the deal done and then get back to work. You expect me to be so naïve to actually let you blow this off, but you are so wrong. If you don't go through with this, I am going to fire you and tell the police about your fights. Your blood-nasty illegal fights and you will be arrested."

"You fucking bastard! I am not going to dump her!"

He hangs up and I groan, throwing my phone onto the couch, anxious for Beth to get out of the bathroom. She's been in there for a really long time and I am scared something happened to her. I can't let her go, not for some fucked up deal I made with my trainer.

"How dare you even say that to me?! You are absolutely shitting me right now. That girl means everything to me and you expect me to break up with her. Whatever it was that possessed me to make this deal with you is absolutely fucking retarded. I shouldn't have done it."

Harry's yelling over the phone is scaring me, but the utmost pain I feel is that this was a deal. He is a mad man, a jerk, and I can't believe I fell for it. No wonder he pursued me so much, but it doesn't make sense. His constant telling me that I am important, the nights he told me his fears and his life, completely opening up to me; they could all be lies. I don't know what is true anymore.

I sit in the freezing water, feeling numb because of his stupid lies. I don't want to feel the pain anymore. I need to leave him. A cold tear runs down my cheek as I sit up, standing and walking to the clothes I have on the floor. I don't even want to look at his clothes, the material all just a reminder of the sick joke he is playing on me. And to think I actually trusted him enough to let him touch me, care for me, and to let him have my heart. It's gone now, nothing I even want anymore.
