Bruised, Battered And Broken.

Chapter 14

People of the 'one direction' entourage had a horrible habit of waking Jess up when she was extremely hungover, she had spent the early hours of the morning, with her head in the toiletbowl, throwing up the contents of her stomach and trying to hide the fact from Harry. They hadn't really spoken on the way back from the hotel. Harry just held on to her as she placed her head in his knee, she wanted to apologise to him for embarrassing him infront of everyone, but she was scared if she opened her mouth. She would be sick, and when Harry helped her into bed, and climbed in himself. They just lay there in silence. And now, Harry lay, snoring lightly in his sleep, while she was being forced out of her bed by her mystery guest.

When Jess threw her legs out of bed, she shivered slightly as the cold air hit her bare legs, she was wearing one of Harry's tshirts that she had stolen from his rail at work, she really liked it and he wasn't fussed, she didn't tell him however the real reason was that his smell comforted her when she had nightmares, and she slept in it most nights.

She opened the door and shielded her eyes as the light poured in "long night?" she heard a voice ask, she removed her hands from her eyes to see eleanor, fully dressed and looking perfection stood infront of her, she cursed herself for answering the door without looking through the peephole and violently started running her fingers through her untamed hair.

"too much wine" Jess smiled "I am blaming George the techie"

"I didn't drink" eleanor announced.

"no I can see, you look fabulous!" Jess exclaimed, slightly confused and dazed "is everything okay? Is Louis alright?"

"I'm not here to talk about Louis" she snapped, indicating too Jess that they had had a row "I was just wandering what you were doing today?"

Jess turned around and looked at Harry's sleeping frame, and she swear she saw a smile creep across his face briefly before turning back to Eleanor "I think I'm free today, I mean me and Harry are going to Cheshire, but I don't think that's until later... I'd ask him but..." she pointed to Harry, to show Eleanor he was asleep.

"well me and Rosalie or heading into town to do some shopping, wondered if you would like to join us?"

The truth is Jess didn't really want to join them, she wanted to stay in bed all day and sleep of the hangover that had engulfed her body, she squinted as she tried to piece together the conversation Louis and herself had had last night, but everything was fuzzy. Louis was such and important person in her knew life, and she knew that the tension between her and Eleanor was effecting her relationship with Louis "yeah sure when you leaving?"

"about half an hour"

Jess scowled, she wouldn't be able to look half as good as Eleanor in half an hour "sure, I'll meet you in the lobby in half an hour" and shut the door behind her, before leaning on it to regain her balance and taking an intake of breath to help stem her nausea. She stayed there for a few seconds, before realising that every second was now precious and running and throwing herself into the shower. She was letting the hot water wash away the sins from last night she she was disturbed out of her thoughts, by Harry Styles.

"you must really want to get into her good books to go shopping if you want to do that, you hate shopping"

"I knew you were awake styles" she said stepping out of the shower and wrapping a towel around herself. She felt so comfortable around Harry sometimes she just didn't think about bearing all infront of him, although when she turned around she realised he had averted his eyes, which made her blush "oh, I'm sorry"

"no, no its not that, I just don't want to you know... Get too... You know... without being able too..."

Jess knew full well what he meant but didn't have the time or energy to argue it out with him, so she set about getting ready, she blowdried her hair and tied it up, not having time to do anything else with it and applied her make up at haste, she then pulled on some karki green means, with brown knee high boots, a striped black and white top and a leather Jacket. She wrapped a navy blue knitted scarf around her neck.
