The Story Of Our Lives. {Harry Styles FanFic}

Chapter 17;

Autumns POV;

The cloth that I held in my hand dropped to the ground immediately as I saw Hazel lean over and kiss Jake on the lips. I closed and opened my eyes a couple of times making sure that what I was seeing was real.

It was real. Hazel and Jake. I knew I needed to get out of there before one of them sees me. I quickly walked to the office, keeping my head down on the way before knocking on the door.

"Come in." I heard Bernie say through the closed door.

I quickly opened the door, stumbling over my own feet into her office, I regained balance. "I'm so sorry Bernie but something came up, and I really have to go." I closed the door behind me, making sure no one could hear our conversation.

"That's fine, we aren't that busy anyway." She smiled at me, a gentle smile formed on her lips which showed that she wasn't angry at my sudden choice of leaving work.

I said a quick thank you before running to the back room and retrieving my bag and coat. I quickly ran out of the back door exit.

As soon as the fresh air hit me, I felt that I could finally breathe properly again. I inhaled the air around me, and took even breaths to keep myself calm about the situation.

Hazel and Jake were together.

But where was Brandon? The guy that she was with at the party and the guy that she was with for six months? Things weren't adding up, and thinking about it more made my head hurt.

As I walked the short distance back to my apartment, I tried everything to blacken out the image of Jake and Hazel in my mind, I even thought about Harry, but the image of them kissing was imprinted on my brain.

I unlocked the door to my apartment, before pushing it close, and securely locking it. I entered the kitchen and dumped my bag and jacket on the chair in front of me.

I looked at the clock, and realised that I only worked for an hour. I sat on the chair, and placed my head in my hands. Hazel was my best friend, she was the one that was supposed to be here for me, not go off with my ex.

It wouldn't have bothered me as much if Jake didn't do anything with me, and she got with him, but the fact was he did something horrible to me, and yet she decided to be with him?

Hazel 'hated' Jake, so how can you stand to go out with someone, especially after knowing what they had did to your best friend? That's if I was her best friend..

I decided to stop letting my thoughts ramble, and get into my pjs, and have a movie night.

As I got off the chair and headed towards the stairs that lead to my bedroom, my doorbell rang. Could it be Harry? I haven't heard from him all day, but it could be a surprise visit? As I unlocked the door and got ready to greet who I was hoping was Harry, I realised that I was wrong and there stood my Mother.

I stood there, shocked. I haven't seen my mother since I was sixteen. She didn't want to tolerate with me since what happened with Jake.

When I first told her about what Jake had done to me, she didn't believe me, even when I showed her the amount of marks that was left on my body because of Jakes attack, she still didn't believe me.

From that day on, I knew that I couldn't live with her anymore, especially since she couldn't believe her own daughter. People who joked about being raped, were horrible people and to think that my mother thought I was, made my hatred grow stronger against her.

Luckily for me, I had a bank account with savings in it from the years of growing up, I took the money out, found a reasonable price apartment and started a new life.
