Chapter 10

I don't know what to say so I just stay quiet, holding my knees and biting the inside of my cheeks to hold the tears from falling down my face. I want to believe him, I really do but my minds keeps telling me that I shouldn't because one way or another he's going to disappear. I will have to go trough the pain all over again. 

On the other hand, it also keeps telling me that I should give him a chance. I should let him in and stop pushing people away but it's not like I'm going to call him every time I have a nightmare or every time I breakdown cause I'm used to go trough all of it by myself. Not even Miss Collins knows about my breakdowns.

"What do you say, Crystal?" He asks me, his eyes holding a worried expression. His hands intertwined on his lap, his hair almost falling down his temple.

"I don't know." I answer, meaning every word because I really don't know what I should do. My head is having a full debate going on about the pros and cons of adding someone to my life.

"Just try." He swallows and I swear I can see all the movements his throat makes. "I promise I'm not going to hurt you, not intentionally at least." He adds.

Why is it so hard to believe him? I know he doesn't want to hurt me. Do I really? No, I'm trying to think so. He hasn't done anything to make me think otherwise. Then why can I just let him in? 

"I know you won't."

"Then, come on. Just let me be here for you."

It's so weird to have someone asking me to be there for me when I should be the one asking. 

"It's not that easy, Harry." I say in a breath. "I've been alone almost two years now."

"You shouldn't have to be, not anymore." 

"Maybe you're right." The words leave my mouth before I can even think and Harry's eyes meet mine. 

He half smiles and opens his mouth to speak but we're interrupted by the sound of a door opening. We both turn around to see who left the room  and find Niall looking at us with a smile on it's face.

"What do you want, Blondie?" I ask while standing up, clear anger in my voice. Harry follows my moves and stands up as well.

"Chill out, Rude Girl." He says, the smile not leaving his mouth. "I just wanted to tell Harry that we can go now but we have to meet here at 7 pm no to go the show." 

Harry nods but Niall stays on the door just watching at us while smiling. 

"If you take a picture it will last longer." I say angrier than ever. What's going on with this band? It's full of creepy guys.

Harry laughs but doesn't say a word and it's making my blood boils. Why doesn't he tell Niall to leave us alone? I thought we we're having a serious conversation. Well if he doesn't want to say anything then I'll just leave. And that's exactly what I do, I start walking, getting away from both of them but Harry grabs my wrist and turns me around.

"What are you doing?" He asks. "Where are you going?" 

"Home. I shouldn't came here in the first place, this was a mistake." I say as I loose his grip.

"What are you talking about?" I can no longer see Niall and part of me is glad but I already made my decision.

"I'm sorry, Harry, but I can't." I turn around and leave, this time he doesn't grab me but I hear him yell my name as I approach to the elevator.

When I exist the building I realize I have no idea where I am so I look for an underground station. After five minutes of walking I found one and I jump in the next train. My house is quite far from here but it gives me time to think.
