With Your Love

Chapter 21

"Wow, it was good to see him again." Harry say as he sits down on the sofa.

"Yeah, really nice." I say as I sit beside him.

"What's with you?" He turns his head and rests it on the back of the couch, looking at me.

"Nothing." I pick up the remote and start to flip through some channels, but it's snatched from my hand and the tv is turned off.

"What is it?" Harry stares at me now and I find it difficult to lie to him.

But I do it anyway.

"I said nothing. I'm just getting a little tired." He raises his eyebrow as if he doesn't believe me. I wouldn't either. I've always been a terrible liar.

"Well maybe you should go on upstairs. I'll be up in a minute once I turn off everything down here." Wow. Or maybe he's really gullible.

"Alright then." I stand and make my way towards the stairs.

I decide to take a shower and put on my PINK shorts and a black t-shirt that I brought to sleep in. Tying my hair into a bun on top of my head, I go to lay down in bed, but I realize that Harry still hasn't come upstairs yet.

I tip toe down the stairs and peek around the corner to see Harry sitting on the couch with his elbows on his knees and his chin resting on his balled fists, his eyes locked on the coffee table.

"Hey. Are you alright?" I start to slowly walk towards him.

"Is there something you want to tell me?" He ask, his eyes still on the table.

I stop in my tracks and look at him in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"Don't play dumb with me Tori. If there's something you need to tell me, you better say it now because this is your last chance!" He's now on his feet and is looking at me like he's trying to control his temper.

"Harry, I really don't know what your talking about." I say as calmly as possible.

"Alright. Now tell me, who is this?" He picked up my phone and the screen brightened up to my lock screen with a new message from- oh my god.

"Harry. I know what your thinking, but you have to let me explain-"

"I don't have to let you do shit! Are you cheating on me Victoria." I could see his face turning red.

"No i'm not but I-"

"Then what is your explanation for this! You have got to-"

"Would you let me finish?!" I finally cracked. I couldn't take all of his yelling. He froze and stared at me, he's never heard me raise voice.

I went and picked up my phone reading the message.

It was great seeing you baby. I wish we didn't have that 'distraction' so I could have you all to myself. I'll be seeing you soon (;

Why didn't I block his number? This is going way too far. I thought he was just some creep who I could ignore. But now that I know that he's Harry's friend, he'll probably be around more often which could put me in danger and I can't have Harry worrying about me.

"Harry, I think it's time I told you."

"What is it?" I sit down on the couch, but he's still standing, staring at me with a straight face.

"Please sit down-"

"I don't want to." So stubborn.

"You remember when we went to the fair and that creek messed with me?" He's now sitting down and looking at me in confusion.

"Yeah?" He more than confused.

"It's Zayn. I remembered him. He's been texting me non-stop and I don't know why I didn't block his number and I know I should have told you about this sooner but, I just-"

"What are you talking about?" He cuts me off.

"I'm know you probably don't believe me but, its the truth Harry. I'm so sorry because I know how close-"

"No. Why are you lying? All I'm asking is that you tell me the truth!" His chest is heaving and his nostrils are flared.

"I know and I'm trying to tell you! I understand if you don't believe me, but I don't know what else to say." He stares at me for a long time before standing up and heading for the door.

"Harry, where are you going?"

"I'm not going anywhere. You are." He opens the door and I stand up.

"What?"

"Tori, if your gonna lie about cheating on me, you can definitely do better than that. I can't believe you would bring one of my best mates into this! Your supposed to be my girlfriend and I thought I could trust you!" I just stare at him in complete shock and then I realize something.

"I was never your girlfriend. We never established a relationship. And now that I think about it I don't know what we are! We rushed into this without thinking. I don't even know your middle name!

"Look, I would never lie to you about something like this. You asked for the truth and I told you! If you don't believe me then that's fine." I walk over to the coat hanger by the door and grab my jacket.

"Bye Harry." And the look on his face tells me that this might be the last time we see eachother.
