Beaten and Bullied (Harry Styles fanfic) RESTORED!

Chapter 35

Chapter 35-

I feel one tear silently fall down my face before I angrily wipe it away and sigh in aggravation, she never even gave me a chance to explain. Why did my mum always seem to assume the worst of me? I can feel myself trying to hold back the tears as I head to the café. I'm startled to see Harry and Lily at a table with Ashley and another man. I can feel my anger rising, why an earth was he sitting there having a civil conversation with her like she hadn't done anything wrong?

"Harry?" I question apprehensively as he turns round from his conversation, a smile still worn on his face from whatever Ashley had just previously said. This furies me even more, what did she say to him?

"Cheri" he smiles warmly "Ashley has some wonderful news". I say nothing and he looks at me awkwardly as if he can't decipher my mood. "Do you want some of my coffee? I still say nothing in return and continue to stare at him. Is he not wondering how it went with my mum?

I can feel my self slowly starting to lose it, while I was having to try and explain the lies, which Harry was also caught up in, to my mum, he was down here chatting with Ashley- of all people. I can't believe he would even consider talking to her so soon after. I also felt betrayed, was he considering taking her back?

"Harry, can we go now?" I say monotonously as I try to control my emotions.

"Is something wrong?" Harry says concern etched onto his face.

"Harry, I said can we go," I say cuttingly.

"Okay" he says putting his hands up in surrender before picking Lily up.

"Bye, it was nice taking to you both" he says giving them a small smile.

"Yeah nice seeing you George!" the bearded man calls.

Harry's smile drops "...It's Harry"

"Harry, George, what's the difference" he says giving out a large laugh as everyone stares at him.

Harry mutters another goodbye to Ashley and the bearded guy beside her, who is now too busy checking out the nurses passing by.

"Why are you looking at the nurses like that, Pablo?" I hear Ashley hiss as we leave.

"I was just admiring their uh... physique and... build?"

"What are you talking about?!" she shrieks.

"How could he mistake my name for George?" Harry wonders out loud as we exit the hospital doors and I don't reply as i'm not even sure who that guy was.

As we walk to the car and i've still not said anything, Harry suddenly looks over at me in worry "Cheri, how did it go with your mum?"

"Oh what do you think, Harry?" I snap, my anger coming back from before.

"What do you mean?" Harry says, his eyebrows crinkling in confusion.

"No she wouldn't even listen to me, she didn't even try to understand!" I cry out in frustration.

"Wasn't there anything you could of done to make her listen?" Harry says anxiously and I begin to grow irritated at his pointless questions. There wasn't anything I could of done to make the situation better.

"She told me to get out. This is your entire fault, if you'd have kept out of the way then she wouldn't have found out like this!" I say accusingly even though I know what I'm saying is unjust and not true. I'm hurt by my mum's actions and how she took it, she's supposed to support me. Instead of taking the anger out on her, I'm taking it out on Harry instead.

Lily whimpers in Harry's arms from my shouting and I'd almost forgotten she was there. As soon as Harry hears my word, his concern turns to outrage "Don't put the blame on me, I know you're upset but you're the one who kept it from her for so long"

"Well if you hadn't had the stupid party in the first place then we wouldn't be in this position!" I insist.

Harry looks stricken "what are you trying to say" he says looking down at Lily in his arms.

I shake my head realising what I had been implying "I didn't mean it like that, I-I just-" I turn to look at the dark empty car park "I need a walk, I can't think, too much has happened today"

"I'll come with you" Harry says quietly.

"No" I shake my head "I need to be alone"

Harry looks hurt but nods anyway "We can wait in the car for you"

"No it's okay, I'll find another way home"

"Cheri, I'm not leaving you out in the dark by yourself, it's not safe and you need to-" but his voice fades as I quickly walk off, not caring that I'm being irrational. I can't deal with this all right now, I just want a drama free life without the extra problems and baggage. I walk past the car park and onto the dimly lit street. Maybe I'm overreacting but today has been so overwhelming and I just wish my mum would have been more empathic or at least understanding. I continue walking not really knowing where I'm going but relishing on the fact that I'm by myself, it feels nice to be alone with my thoughts. It starts to lightly drizzle with rain but I hardly feel it thotugh my clothes.

My phone starts to ring, which brings me out of my thoughtful trance as I stop walking to answer it.

"Hello?" I say curiously.

"Cheri, is that you are you okay?" Harrys says distressed.

"Yes?" I say quietly.

"I've dropped Lily off and Louis is putting her to bed. Where are you it been over an hour and it starting to pour heavy now?"

"I'm fine, really" I say trying to make him not worry about me.

"Cheri, please, where are you?" Harry tries to say sternly but the panic in his voice still shows through.

"I-I don't know" I admit.

"Can you see any street names around you?"

"Uh... Birkland Avenue" I squint trying to read the street sign through the rain.

"Okay I think I know roughly where there is, stay where you are, I'll be less than 10 minutes, okay?" Harrys say anxiously.

"Okay, thanks Harry" I say gratefully and I feel weird that he's showing so much concern for me. I'm not used to the feeling. I sit down on the low garden wall by the street sign and I wait the ten minutes. Then twenty minutes. Half an hour and there's still no sign of Harry. The rain pours on and my clothes begin to stick to me and I wonder if he's coming at all.
