Baby Girl Tears

Chapter Seventeen: Tell me the truth

******Harry's POV******

As I walk from the parking lot to the library to meet the others,

*Beep*

My phone goes off to alert me that I have received a message. It's from Alex!

{"Alex"andria}: (Harry! I must inform you that I have made Rianne aware that you have prior knowledge of the incident that happened between Holly and Steven last week. Im sorry.)

Poor Alex. She's so innocent and pure. I guess she wanted to warn me to look out for my well-being.

As im about to open the door to go inside, Rianne's face greets me with a smug expression.

Harry: "Rianne.."

Rianne: "Harold.."

I look behind Rianne and notice my precious flower, Nathalie.

Harry: "Well, hello Nathalie."

Nathalie: "sup.."

I roll my eyes at Nathalie's choice of greeting. "Nathalie, darling we talked about this. Thats not proper english"

Nath: "Oh Im sorry daddy, did I offend you?"

I bit my lip at her response to what she called me. I know she meant it as a smart arse joke, but it was enough to slightly arouse me. I stepped towards Nathalie to whisper something cute in her ear; right before I had the chance to say something back to Nathalie, Rianne yanked me by my collar hard enough I dropped my keys. My eyes still pasted on Nathalie as my thoughts run wild.

R: "Tell me why you had the nerve to withhold information about my friend from me?"

Her sentence strikes enough anger in me to tear my eyes away from the most beautiful creature ever created by God, and waste my eye contact on her.

Harry: "The hell are you talking about?"

R: "Holly."

I try to play dumb to be funny so she could let me go. I have never been this close to Rianne, it's starting to make me sick.

Harry: "What about Holly?"

R: "Dont fuck with me Styles! Im not in the mood for your games. Alex already told me that you were the only one she told after Holly told her." Her grip became tighter.

Harry: "And how was I supposed to know that you didn't know what happened? It was clearly written all over her face when she came into class that something was wrong."

Her face started to turn a slight pinkish red with anger.

Nath: "What are you trying to say Harry?"

I look to Nathalie with loving eyes, "Oh nothing cupcake," then direct my stare to the girl keeping my collar hostage in her fist," just that what kind of friend does that make, mummy here, that she couldn't see that her dear friend, Holly, was in distress and never thought to ask?"

She pushed me to the ground hard enough I hit the door behind me, open. She walked up to me and picked me up by my collar again.

R: "What did she tell you?"

Harry: "Wait? Alex told you that she told me what happened, but she still didn't tell you, hmm?" she shook me with both her hands tugging on my collar.

R: "I want to hear what she told you." still shaking me. I can hear Nathalie laughing at my demise.

H: "If you don't mind, can you please stop shaking me!" I raised my voice lough enough to catch her attention. she finally complied to my request. "Also, can you let go of my shirt, I prefer not to have my collar stretched out."

R: "If I let you go, will you tell me what Alex told you?"

H: "Yes, anything to get you out of my face. I have never been this close to you before in my entire life. I want to get away from you as much as you want to get away from me." I press my hands together for a mock prayer "I pray this never happens again."

She finally let my shirt go, i pat my shirt to pretend to brush off her dust. "To be honest, I don't like to play telephone."

R: "WHAT?!" She stepped to me but Nathalie grabbed her shoulders before she could get to close.

Harry: "Im not being a dick on purpose. Since You and Holly are friends, I think it would be a little more respectful if you would ask her yourself, instead of coming to someone who was never involved in the predicament."

The fire in her eyes died down. She lowered her shoulders. She looked to the floor. She looked so upset. I have never seen Rianne so down. Nathalie was patting her back for comfort. Rianne looked so defeated. She is usually the backbone of all of her friends. She keeps her head higher than all of them to be a beacon of light to keep her friends cheer at their highest.

"HARRY!"

I hear a girl scream my name from behind me. I was barely able to turn around. the next thing i remembered is tumbling forward. My eyes were shut, bracing for impact to hit the floor; but I never fall. I feel something warm and soft on my lips. I open my eyes and see a pair of light golden brown eyes staring back at me. I have to say they are rather beautiful. In a split second a stray blonde strand of hair appears in front of my eyes. All I feel in that instant is pure sickness.

Harry: "DEAR GOD!" I realized who I had locked lips with, "IM GONNA THROW UP!". All I was able to hear was laughter and taunts. I bent over to air heave in disgust. Im constantly coughing in rage, im both embarrassed and grossed out. I turn around and recognize Alex was the culprit of the scream. I rush over behind her and snatch her backpack zipper open, still air heaving into my elbow. Once my hand is inside her bag I fish out her hand sanitizer. I dab a pea size amount into my palm, rub my hands together. I lift the bottom hem of my shirt and place it onto my mouth to violently rub her warmth off of my face; unfortunately no matter how hard I try to cleanse my lips I still feel the kiss.

R: "Really Harry..? Hand sanitizer? It's not that serious."

I look up and take in account of everyone who was in the hallway: , Alex, Rianne, Niall and Nathalie. Nathalie​ was the only one laughing.

Niall: "Was it really that bad?"

R: "Bad?! That was the best kiss he's had in his life."

Harry: "On the contrary, Ive kissed puppies, and they kiss better than you do."

R: "aww you like the taste of puppy breath?"

Harry: "Haha, very funny. It tastes better than you."

R: "Asshole."

Harry: "..ehh"

Nath: "Rianne.. can we go home now?"

R: "..yeah, we can go home now."

Rianne and Nathalie walk out the door together into the parking and disappear behind the glass.

Alex walks up to me. "Harry. Where are they going?"

Harry: "Your guess is as good as mine. You want to tell me why you pushed me?"

A: "I didn't mean to. I was worried."

I raise an eyebrow at her to show her how displeased I am.

Harry: "You don't need to worry Alexandria," I place my finger underneath her chin to gently lift her head up. "I can take care of myself." Alex' bright smile illuminated in to joy; such a familiar sight. "Plus Rianne wouldn't actually hurt me."
