Euphonious Memories {H.S}

48.

I woke up to my phone vibrating. I answered the call that I was receiving from Gemma quickly, not wanting to wake Harry, who was still asleep beside me.

"Hello?" I Answered, with my groggy morning voice. I stood up from the bed only wearing Harry's white Rolling Stones t-shirt.

"Skyler! Listen to me. The doctors diagnosed Raine with Stockholm Syndrome, which means that she has developed some kind of love for Niall and that's why she is defending him. But the doctor also said that whoever she has her tantrums the most or strongest around means that the person must have done something to her before she got kidnapped. So that means Harry actually did do something to her. She wasn't lying. I need you to figure it out, but be careful I have no idea who else is involved." I hung up the phone as my heart was frozen with fear.

"Who was that?" I heard another groggy voice from behind me. I turned around and looked at Harry. "Babe what's wrong?" As the words left his mouth I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes.

"What's wrong? WHAT'S WRONG?! EVERYTHING IS WRONG!" I yelled. "You did fucking lied didn't you? DIDN'T YOU?!"

His expression changed at the last question. He eyes showed that it was true. He had lied. I wondered how I hadn't seen it before.

"Townes please just let me explain I..."

"EXPLAIN WHAT? Explain how you lied about Raine's death? I mean what the hell is going on here Harry?!"

"You are right. I did lie about Raine's death. But there were reasons that you don't understand that I just..."

"Get out." I muttered through my teeth. I couldn't listen to anymore.

"Skyler you have to listen. I gave her over to Niall before he..."

"You gave her over to Niall?" I knew he was dumb enough to lie about someone's death, but he was the one who gave her to Niall? He sent her into torture, just like that. Why would he do something like that?

"Okay." He said taking a deep breath. "Before I met you I was working for Niall. All those times you saw me on the street, it wasn't a coincidence. I was following you, but it was for Niall it was his orders. He thought that if I got close to you then he could get back at Liam since you're his sister. And Raine was your roommate for a reason. I made sure that you would be her roommate so that I could get close to you, But when Niall tried to be your boyfriend I couldn't take it. I couldn't stand seeing him kiss you. So I quit, and that is when he started going after us both, but you didn't even realize it. When he trashed the apartment, I was pissed. So I went out to find him. He warned me that I shouldn't try to go against him or he would take you away from me. I didn't believe him until he kidnapped you. That's when I knew I had to protect you at all costs. I didn't know it at the time, but Ethan was his new worker. That's why Ethan kept flirting with you, but luckily you didn't give in. And then there was the shooting. Honestly I didn't think that had anything to do with Niall, but apparently it did. So I did some research on it with some cops and found out that Ethan got arrested and we didn't know about it. That smart son of a bitch had a plan all along. He somehow escaped from the police's arms, got the key to Niall's jail cell, and let Niall out. It gave him and Niall enough time to escape. When I was in the hospital room with Raine, while you were having surgery, Niall showed up. Raine was not injured that bad from the shooting so she was awake when he was there. He had a gun, and he told me that if I didn't give Raine over to him then he would kill you. I know it sounds selfish, but I couldn't lose you. Raine hates me for it, and still does as you can see, but I swear that I was coming up with a plan to save her." He finished talking after looking down at his hands the whole time.

I sat there after hearing the whole truth come out, with tears running down my face. I couldn't believe that he was lying to me the whole time that we were together.

"Harry." I said and he looked up from his hands, his eyes full of hope. "You lied about who you were. The whole time. And you didn't even care when I let you take my virginity, knowing you were lying to me." I was weeping now. I really loved him and it really hurt to do this, but I had to. "So just...go"

"Townes...I was just protecting you...I"

"No!" I yelled. "You didn't protect me from the most dangerous one in this whole situation ...You."

"Townes."

"DON'T call me that. Only people that I love are allowed to call me that. GO!"

"Just hear me out." He said getting up and trying to hug me, but I pushed him away.

"GET OUT!" I yelled as I pushed him into the living room. "GO!"

"I love you Sky, you know that, please just..."

"DO NOT TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME AFTER EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE!" I yelled as I opened the apartment door pushing him into the hallway. "And don't ever think that you can come back in here, because you are NOT welcomed here anymore." I said through my teeth. I saw tears slip from his eyes as he tried to apologize even more than he already did. I closed the door leaving him in the hallway and sliding down the wooden frame of the door. I hugged my knees and cried.

I could hear him outside the door,begging to hear him out. I already had though, and it was the final straw. He had done this was too many times and I had had enough.

I looked at the clock on the stove at 12:30am. I had literally been sitting here crying by the hallway door all day.

About an hour later, I heard a knock on the door and assumed it was Harry.

"I told you to fucking get out!"

"Hey babe, It's me." I heard Gemma's voice coming from the other side.

"Gemma?" I asked.

"Yeah, but Harry is out here too he just woke up from his little hallway nap." She said confused. I opened the door and let Gemma in and saw Harry laying against the wall across from the door. I slammed the door before he could say anything.

"So what's going on? I am guessing that he was lying since he is out there in the hallway with a tear stained face." Gemma smirked.

I looked at her and before I could say a word, I broke down.

"Gemma he was lying to us the whole time, to me the whole time we were together. He was on Niall's side." I sobbed as she came to give me a sympathetic hug.

"Tell me everything he told you." She said.

We sat there on the couch, me explaining all the terrible things that Harry had done, and Gemma sitting there listening to them with surprised looks on her face.

When I finally finished talking, she looked almost as mad as I felt, exempt that wasn't possible.

She got up and stomped over to the door. She opened it and yelled at Harry, who I thought would have left by then.

I walked over to see him with bloodshot eyes from crying. I looked at him and his face expression was begging for me to forgive him.

"I could have forgiven you for lying." I said. "But I don't think that I will ever forgive you for handing her over to a murderer." I then slammed the door in his face, leaving him in the hallway.
