Save you

Chapter 14

“Look what we found.” Louis came in dangling Lulu in front of him. Way to ruin a moment Louis…

“Put that down.” Leila stood up and started walking towards Louis.

“Niall catch!” He threw it across the room to Niall who threw it to Zayn. They continued that triangle as Leila chased them around.

“Stop that! Give it back!” She whined trying to get it.

“Oh shit.” Zayn missed it and it feel into the fish tank, the delicate seems tearing apart.

“Just when I started to like it here you go and screw it up. Your such fuck ups.” She ran over to the tank pulling out Lulu and the soggy stuffing running out of the room.

“Great job guys…” I sighed.

“It was just fun… didn’t mean to break it.” Zayn said walking over to me.

“Well you did! Now she is all fucking moody again and I was just about to tell her… never mind.”

“You were going to tell her you loved her weren’t you.” Niall came over sitting on the arm of the chair staring at me.

“Yes. You people ruined it. And you hurt her!” I stormed out of the room and upstairs slamming my bedroom door. I fell onto my bed face first into the pillows. I heard the light sound of sobs coming from Leila’s room.  I couldn’t take it so I went back down stairs and sat in the back room.

“Hay Harry…” Liam walked in and sat beside me on the bench. “You okay?”

“No mate… I was going to tell her.” I hung my head low studying my palms.

“Well what’s stopping you from doing it now?”

“I don’t know… I just don’t think I can.”

“Yes you can Harry. You have to! Go up there and tell her.” Liam pulled my shoulder forcing me to stand up. I walked out of the room but was stopped by Zayn in the hall.

“Listen Harry were really sorry we messed that up for you…”

“It’s okay Zayn…” I smiled at him a continued walking. “Leila may I come in?” I knocked on the door lightly waiting for an answer. I slowly opened the door to see Leila on the floor clutching her wrist… trying to stop… the blood. “Leila! I thought you said you wouldn’t cut again!” I shouted running over to her.

“I didn’t Harry!” She cried trying to stop the blood still.

“Leila come on! Enough with the lies! I can see it right here!” I picked up a nearby shirt and placed it on the cut walking her over to the bathroom.

“Harry… I didn’t do this! It was an accident!” She cried as I ran cold water over it. “I was looking for a sewing kit and I reached up but the books fell on me and one of them was a binder and cut my wrist!”

“Oh… Leila I’m sorry.” I looked for a bandage in the cabinet.

“It’s okay… I get why you wouldn’t believe me… I mean look at all the lies I have told before.”

“Leila stop. It was my fault, I should’ve believed you.” I brought her back into her room and sat her on the bed. “Okay Leila I need to answer your question now.” She nodded signaling me to continue. “I do love you… I don’t know when it happened but something happened and I did love you…” She cut me off by colliding her soft pink lips with mine.

“Harry I still hate you. But I love you.” She smiled at me. I tried to make sense of that in my mind but it just didn’t happen… “I mean… you’re a douche… but your my douche.”
