No Rules

Chapter 8

Harry's POV*

Kaite flees off the brown cushioned couch and swings open a pale door slamming it behind her. But sadly she is my second biggest worry. My first is the upright girl perched on the arm of the sofa. Erica quickly looks at me in a disapproving way.

"You're exactly how I remember you from-from the last time." She chokes back her words and I immediately know what she's talking about. I step closer to the extremely skinny manicured woman that I used to know.

"Erica, what did you tell her?" She pushes me back her nails digging into my chest.

"I told her the truth." How could she tell Kaite the truth if she doesn't even know it herself? I step back against the beige wall by the front door and let my head smack against it. Sliding to the floor I look up at Erica who is looking anywhere else but me. A small lock of hair falls from her bun as she turns her head in all different directions around the room. I roll my eyes at her pathetic actions and put my head in my hands.

"What exactly did you tell her? And if you wont tell me I know she will." She huffs and crosses her arms over her chest.

"Yea, right after she finishes throwing up, that is if she ever does. And even if she doesn't I wont blame her, what you did Styles was disgusting, and I have a feeling you did the same thing to her." I find myself very annoyed by her words and stand up.

"By the way, if you look up 'yea' in the dictionary, you wont find it." I smile at her smugly remembering how she always tried to correct my grammar. I walk towards the bathroom door as I feel Erica burning a hole in the back of my head with her almost black eyes.

She was a bitch when I first met her and it's honestly no surprise that she hasn't changed. But then again neither have I.

I reach the pale door and hear a quiet whimpering. I'm taking a huge risk here, going in there to talk to her. But if she didn't want to talk then why did she call?

Pushing open the door, the first thing I see is Kaite hugging her knees beside the toilet. Running my hand over my face I cautiously take a step towards her. She looks up at me and closes her eyes shaking her head back and forth.

"Harry?" Her voice sounds so weak, even worse then the time she told me about her parents separation. And its all Erica's fault. I turn around to close the door, as I'm turned I hear her faintly asking for me to lock it. When I turn around, I sit with my back against the door facing Kaite directly. She sits only about a few feet away, so I can clearly see the pained expression on her face.

"Yes?" I finally answer, what ever she has to ask I will tell her. I don't want her to just run away from me thinking I'm some kind of monster.

"What actually happened, I need to know-I need to know that you didn't do that. I need to know she's lying, that you're good." She struggles to complete the sentence, and right there my heart snaps. No matter what relationship I have with this girl, no matter if she loves me or hates me, something inside me will always ache for her.

"Ok Kaite. I'll tell you. But you have to believe me, Erica doesn't even know the truth, I've been hiding it for too long." She stares at me with sad eyes but nods her head in agreement to my plea.

"I have this buddy, his name is Mike. He um, well he's just not a good guy. He always got into trouble and he still does. I was the only person he had since his whole family died on a cruise. He was alive because he was sick, so he stayed with his grandparents. But once he found out the news he just-he just handled it differently. In a terrible way."

Flashback

I finally got away from that hell hole in London. I don't know if I would say that New York is much better but in certain ways, hell yea. I don't think it was the brightest idea to move here with Mike, but he needed this. And so did I. But the job choice was probably the worst decision overall. I mean this is New York for god sake! The place of opportunity. Sadly the only place I could score an easy job was this new club. They wanted fit, foreign, handsome men and me and Mike made it without question. We just had to be approved by the bosses daughter.
