Living with the Styles.

Chapter 27

I can’t believe she’s leaving in less than four days.

HARRY’S POV:

After about an hour of looking for her, I gave up. Also it had started raining, I got drenched, so I decided to go home; I wasn’t in the mood to talk to anyone. I got into my car and drove home. I pulled up into the drive way and locked the car. I walked up to the door and peered in the window and saw Piper and the girls. I walked and shut the door. At that moment, my mum came out of the kitchen.

‘Harold, you’re soaking. What happened to you?’ She shrieked. Piper and the girls came out. Piper smiled and came over and hugged me. She wrapped her arms around my torso, but I pulled her off me within a couple of seconds.

‘I went looking for Piper for an hour in the rain, cause she ran out of the café, only to find out she’d been here.’ I sighed, making no eye contact with her. I knew she was looking at me with sad eyes. ‘I’m going to have a shower and ya’know, hit the hay?’ I scratched my wet head, still not looking at Piper in the eye.

‘Harry, its only 5:30, plus we’ve not had dinner.’ My mum said.

‘Right.’ I sighed. ‘Well see you at dinner.’ I turned away and went upstairs. I leant against the door before retrieving a towel. I took off my wet clothes a

As I walked down the hall, I could hear voices in the next room. Piper’s door was open. I stood by her door and listened.

E: ‘Piper, don’t worry. I’m sure he’s just tired.’

D: ‘El’s right. Even if it’s not, I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about.’

P: ‘Should I talk to him?’

I could hear her sadness in her voice, making my heart break. Why did I treat her like that?

O: ‘I think you should give him some time. Talk to him about it in the morning.’

P: ‘Okay.’

I heard her sigh, I shut my eyes, feeling guilty.

D: ‘I’m just going to the toilet.’

I listened a bit closer, then realised I was standing by her door listening, in just a towel. I was too late, Danielle had opened the door.

’Harry?’ She asked confused.

‘Ummm…Hi.’ I replied, looking down at the floor. All the girls, apart from Piper were standing behind Danielle, who was now leaning against the door frame.

‘Why are you by the door in just a towel? Not a sight all of us want to see.’ Everyone besides Piper giggled.

‘I umm, was going for a shower.’

‘In Piper’s room?’ Eleanor asked, looking confused.

‘Well, I overheard you and Piper, can I talk to you alone please?’ Everyone turned to Piper, who looked up from her lap.

‘Oh… Okay?’ She got up and followed me to my room. I shut the door and grabbed my boxers. I slipped them on and turned to Piper, who was sitting on my bed, looking at her lap. I moved over to her and sat next to her.

‘Piper, I’m sorry for being a dick. I was just pissed about you leaving in two days. I didn’t mean to ignore you earlier. I’m sorry.’ She had tears running down her cheeks.

‘I don’t know what I’m going to do without you.’ She whispered.

‘Hey, you’re always welcome here. Plus, I’m sure I can come down under and stay there for a while. We’ll make it work.’ I wrapped my arm around her shoulder. She buried her face into my chest and continued crying. I tried to calm her down. I even had tears in my eyes. After a while she started talking again.
