Typical Life (Harry Styles Fan Fiction)

Chapter Twenty One: Nothing to Say

Chapter Twenty One: Nothing to say

[Harry’s POV]

I woke up in the late afternoon, which was unfortunate. Right now all I wanted to do was avoid these problems that seemed to fill my life. I got up off of my bed and checked my phone. Great, One new message from Zoe.  I frowned as the memories of today came flooding back and I opened the message to read it. She seemed happy and I was sure of it. I was sure that this would hurt her, and I was sure that after Monday we would probably never talk again. I was practically giving her away, leaving her and lying straight to her face when I would tell her that I didn’t love her anymore. I couldn’t believe that I was actually going to do this. I couldn’t bring myself to reply to her text and I didn’t want to make things any harder than they already were.  I threw my phone onto my bed and made my way out of the room to find Louis, Niall, Zayn and Liam sitting downstairs on the lounge watching a movie. I walked into the kitchen to get a glass of water and as soon as I was done I made my way downstairs to see them. “Hey Haz” I heard Louis’ voice murmur as his head spun around to look at me. “Wow, you look… terrible” he said with all honesty.

“I know” I replied in a flat tone and sat down next to him.

“Don’t worry; everything will be o-kizay!” He said smiling and trying to sound positive as he gave me a small hug.

“Please don’t” I interrupted him, I really wasn’t in the mood. “I just, don’t even want to talk about it okay?” I said still very upset and trying to stop myself from lashing out.

“Okay…” He said in a softer voice now, realising just how much this was hurting me. There was nothing he could do to help me, and I know that the thought of this saddened him. 

“Well you know we are all here for you bud, and it is very wrong that management are making you do something like this” Zayn added quickly before focusing back on the Movie that was playing.

“Yeah, we are always here for you-“Niall began but I cut him off before he could finish.

“That’s enough! Please, I really don’t want to hear it!” I said furiously as I got off the lounge and ran upstairs. I shut the door behind me and collapsed onto my bed. I lay there for a while with my eyes shut tightly, hoping that somehow everything would just go away. But I was interrupted when I started to hear my phone ring on the bed, next to where I lay. I looked at who was calling, my phone screen read ‘Zoe <3’. Shit, I said under my breath. As much as I wanted to hear her voice, it was going to be hard disguising the pain that I was in but I answered it anyway.

“Hey” I said in my usual husky voice.

“Harry?” She questioned. “Is something wrong?” She asked again. I took a deep breath and replied,

“No, nothing’s wrong. Why do you ask love?” I said sounding confident.

“Oh, no reason it’s just you didn’t reply to my texts and I thought…” She said trailing off.

“Yeah I know. I’m sorry, I fell asleep.” I said back to her honestly.

“Oh… but I thought you were out with your mates today?” She asked curiously.

“Yeah, I decided to stay home” I lied to her knowing exactly why I wasn’t with them.

“Okay, well I miss you!” She said softy.

“I miss you too” I said and I was telling the truth. I really did miss her.

“Well I can’t wait to see you! On Monday how about we go out for lunch together?” She proposed.

“Um, err… Yeah, Monday… sounds fine to me” I said as the word Monday played over and over in my head.

“You sound a bit off today babe. How about I let you get back to sleeping?” She laughed.

“Yeah okay. Seeya” I said not bothering to hear her reply as I pulled the phone away from my ear and hung up. 'You harry… are a dick head' I whispered to myself as I closed my eyes hoping that I would drift off to sleep again.
