Always(Trilogy)

Chapter 14

*Harry's POV*

I lightly knock on the door once I make it up the stairs, deciding to also respect Allison's privacy. Though my first reaction is to just burst through the door and take her into my arms, I can't just assume she wants to talk to me right now. I mean, we only did just get 'back together' or whatever we are. It's still really confusing.

"Allison?" I softly call out. "Love, is it okay for me to come in?" After hearing her mutter a faint 'okay' I slowly enter the room to find her sprawled out on her bed, eyes closed. I sit beside her, taking the same position. For a few moments there's silence, and then she speaks.

"I don't know what I'm doing." she confesses.

"You wanna know something?" I say.

"What?"

"I don't either."

..........................................

*Allison's POV*

I groan, clutching my hand to my forehead. I've unfortunately developed a massive headache and really bad cramps. 

"You okay?" Harry asks in concern. I nod weakly, keeping my eyes closed shut. "No you're not. What's wrong?" he's starting to sound panicked.

"I've just got a massive headache." I say.

"Is that it?"

"Really bad cramps." I say, wincing.

"Is there anything I can do? I'll run to the store and get you some stuff. I read somewhere that bananas are good for cramps and-"

"Harry, it's okay." I laugh lightly. "It's just normal period symptoms." I sigh. Suddenly, his arms around my waist, placing me onto the bed and underneath the covers. My head lighlty hits the pillows and I immediately begin to warm up. I didn't realize how cold I was until the warmth of the duvet is around me.

I hear running water and a few moments later, something warm is placed on my forehead. I assume it's a warm cloth.

"Stay right here. I'll be right back, okay?" Harry's voice speaks.

"Where are you going?" I question.

"To the store to get you some stuff." he answers as if it's obvious.

"You don't have to do that." 

"I know." he says, and the feeling of his warm lips on my cheek are felt soon after. "But I want to take care of you."  I hear the door close and then there's silence.

He's changed. Harry's definitely changed, but I can't help the feeling of abandonment as he leaves me. I'm sure he's just going to the store and coming right back, but there's a little voice in the back of my mind that's saying that he's doing more than just going out to the store. There's a reason he was so eager to leave and 'going to the store to get you some stuff' would be the absolute perfect excuse to do so. What if he's going to go see Taylor? 

No, Allison stop thinking like that. Harry promised he's done with her and I've chosen to trust him. I do. I think? I don't know. After all that we've been through, I'm still not sure if I trust him or not. I want to trust him. I want to believe that he really is done with Taylor and will have absolutely nothing to do with her at all, as selfish as it sounds.

Okay, I just need to stop. I already have a headache as it is and thinking about all of this is just making it worse.

*Harry's POV*

"Siri, what are the best things to get when you're on your period." I speak into my microphone. I've decided to do a little research on what to get for Allison. I've helped her through her period before, but I just feel like I should do more this time.
