Duplicity » h.s. au

     I jumped up from my spot on the couch, wide awake after hearing a smack, and then an audible crunch following shortly, bringing me into alert mode. I looked over to see Harry sitting with his elbows on his knees and his hands tangled in his chestnut hair. He was visibly shaking, I wasn't sure if he was crying or laughing. Not sure what to do, I slowly inched over to him and gave him a small, yet encouraging pat on the back. He sat in the same position giving me no reaction at all.
"Harry, you all right?"
"No." He then began shaking even harder, now producing sounds that made me think he could be sobbing, but I then came to the conclusion that it was actually laughter.
"I just threw my fùcking phone across the god damn room, because my alcoholic girlfriend fùcked my best friend!" he burst out into strong fits of laughter.
"It's probably toast, better get that thing fixed tomorrow," he wiped away a tear, produced by his bellowing laughter.
"Uhh, yeah," I looked at this crazy man with pity laced in my dark, wide eyes, he'd just found out his girlfriend cheated on him.. With his best friend. That's got to take a toll on a person. I walked over to pick up Harry's phone, and I was relieved to see that the screen was left undamaged. I walked up to Harry and showed him his black mirror.
"My phone didn't even fùcking break! Can't even do that right," he raked his free hand through his hair and then down his face. He sighed and then shook his head.
"Erm, you can stay here for the night if you want. There's really no point in heading out, it's already 4 am," I informed him, hoping to relieve him of his stress, at least a wee bit. He nodded in agreement, forcing a small smile onto his face, but it disappeared almost instantly.

I trotted through my apartment looking for blankets and pillows, and after coming to the realization I didn't have any, besides the ones already on my bed, I huffed and rolled my eyes to myself, clearly frustrated that i'd have to take a layer of my blanket cocoon out of the cocoon itself. It just wasn't right. I pulled off a down blanket from my freshly made bed, and plucked my least favorite pillow from its resting position against the headboard. I dragged everything out to my sofa and draped the soft baby blue blanket over the surface, and placed the feather pillow down at the end of the couch. I brushed the wrinkles out of the blanket and folded over the corner, so it would be nice and easy for Harry to slip underneath.
"Thanks Pen, I know it's a bit of a hassle, but I really appreciate it," he smiled and looked up at me, showing me his blood shot eyes. He had finally broken down after a long while of sitting in silence, and went to the bathroom to cry to himself. It must be hard losing your trust in not one, but two people you care about, in just a single night.
"Don't worry about it, it's no problem, now get some sleep," I yawned, ready to get some much needed rest after a long day of stealing bikes, and falling in more ways than one, after stumbling into a beautiful human that called himself Harry.

A/N What do you all think of Harry's girlfriend? What do you think will happen next??
