The Way Things Work

Chapter Thirty Six

"Hello?" Simon answered the phone groggily.

"S-Simon?"

"Harry? Are okay?" 

"No I've made a horrible mistake." Harry cried into the phone.  

"Relax, tell me what's going on." Simon would never say it to Harry but he loved him like a son. Simon always shared his pride in Harry until he began to fall a victim to Angels's games.

"She recorded us having sex." 

"Harry! Okay just relax, I'll sort this out. just tell me, why are you still with her?"

"I-I don't want to be alone!" Harry sat on the couch with his head hug in his hands as a few stray tears fell down his cheeks.

"You weren't alone! You had Sam!"

"I know but at first I wanted to be alone so I pushed her away and insulted her hoping that she would get the hint. Then the drinking never stopped so I kept pulling these stupid ass stunts! Then we thought she was pregnant and I got scared. I slept with Angel knowing that she would walk in and knowing that she would leave me. I didn't want to be the father."

"Harry you're not thirteen anymore, you need to think of the consequences."

"I-I know and I'm sorry it's just that I am tired of people only anting to be around me for the fame and money."

"Sam was there for more than that-"

"Yeah because she was getting paid!"

"No Harry she isn't!"

"What?"

"She came to me a little while back after a conversation with you and said that she wouldn't be accepting the pay!"

"What conversation?"

"I don't know you were drunk and were rambling on about how the only people that love you are the ones that are paid."

"Oh."

"Yeah oh. Give her some time, let her sort some things out. in the mean time why don't you tell your bandages what you told me? We are having a meeting tomorrow evening."

"Why so late?" 

"Sam has off this weekend and Louis is visiting family."

"Okay, do you think that she'll ever forgive me?"

"She will but just give her a little time and let her sort some thing out."

"Thanks Simon and I'm sorry."

"Its okay and Harry I will always love you as my son okay?"

"I love you too father Simon." They shared a laugh before having up. 

"Are you okay?" Louis rolled over and looked you in the eyes.

"Yeah." You smiled brushing the hair from his face. 

"So?" 

"So what?" Yu giggled as he placed his hand on your cheek and stroked under your eye with his thumb.

"How was I?" He smirked. 

"I guess you were good, I don't remember what happened with me and Harry."

"Damn I was hoping I was better." You nudged his chest as he laughed. "Well I was wondering if you would share another first with me."

"What do you mean?"

"Well like the kiss in the water, I was wondering if-never mind it's stupid."

"Louis tell me, please?"

"Promise you won't laugh at me? Eleanor already did."

"Well she didn't see what she had, I love you and I promise."

"So like a girl, I fantasized over the kiss in the water but I always wanted to take a warm shower with her too. I know it's stupid." He shot out quickly and blushed. he couldn't be any sweeter. 

"It isn't, I think it's sweet and I would love too. If you want to."

"Yes!"

"Can I ask you something first?"

"Always."

"Why do you want all these firsts with me?"

"Because you are perfect."

"Far from, sorry."

"Sorry for what?"

"I highly doubt you want to hear another rant about my insecurities."

"What did I tell you? I do want to hear them. I want to know how you feel."

"I just don't understand how I could be your dream girl."

"I can't explain it. You stole my heart with your sarcasm, modesty, beauty, and everything in between. You don't see it but in my eyes you're perfect. So shall I start the water?"

"You shall." Yu smiled as he got up and walked into the bathroom. He was so much easier going than Harry. You turned to the clock to see it was around nine when he called you in. 

You wrapped the sheet around your body as you walked in. You comfortably dropped the sheet and stood in his arms. The warm water fell down your bodies as his fingers released your hair from the pony tail. Your hair trailed down your back as he ran his fingers through it. You didn't talk you just stood admiring each other. 

"I'll get it babe!" Liam called to Sarah who was in the kitchen. He opened the door to a total surprise. "Harry?"

"H-Hi. Can we talk?"

Liam, being the over kind gentleman he is, let him in. "Sure."

"Please just listen okay?"

"What did you do?"

"Just listen until the end. I am sorry for everything I have put you through. I can't believe I have been such an ass to you when this entire time you have been looking out for me. Liam I still love you all so much and I know you don't. I'm really sorry for it all I guess I was just tired of being alone. I kept running back to Angel because I knew she loved me. I am so sorry and I'm sorry that it took what happened to me tonight to realize what you mean to me."

"Harry I never stopped caring or loving for you mate. I was just concerned that you stopped caring for us. Now tell me, what happened?"

"Angel recorded us having sex." 

"What?!"

"She recorded it last night for revenge."

"I'm so sorry Harry we can help you through this." Liam pulled him into a hug and rubbed his back. "It's great to have hack mate."

"Honestly it's great to be back."

You and Louis hopped out of the shower and wrapped yourselves in the white sheet. You both slipped on your underwear and hopped into bed together. You fell asleep in his arms after he gave y your medications and you slept soundly once again. 

"Here it is." Angel tossed the tape over to Rob.

"Perfect."

"Where's Tony?"

"Out with Eleanor."

"Why?"

"Probably due to the fact that they are dating."

"They're what?! How could that bastard? She has got to go!" 

"No can do Angel, she's an asset now."
