Key To My Heart

Chapter 19

Harry’s P.O.V.

      “I’m bulimic.”

I let the words slip out of my mouth like ice. It feels so good to finally let someone know of my condition that’s been occurring for over 5 months. I haven’t had the nerve to tell a single soul but it feels as if a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I look up to see Sam looking at me sympathetically. She doesn’t even say anything to me, she just hugs me tight. It feels good so I hug her back just as tight.

She soon lets me go and her sad, deep brown eyes look at me.

“Harry, why did you tell me?” She says.

“Because I can trust you,” I say quietly, “and no one else knows, not even Louis. I can’t put people through this worry and stuff, I feel like you’d be the best person to handle this.”

“Of course Harry, I’m always here!” She smiles at me and hugs me again. “Are you planning on telling anyone else?”

I shake my head, “Not for now, it needs to remain a secret.”

“Okay, no problem. How long has this been going on Harry?” She asks me.

“About five months, I’m so scared Sam. I know it’s wrong and I shouldn’t be doing this but-” I unconsciously stop talking, I realize I’m crying. I place my head in my hands as I feel my body shake.

I feel someone grab me, yet again Sam attempts to comfort me. “Harry, everything will be okay, we will make it through it.” Sam whispers in my ear.

“W-what do you mean ‘we?’ It’s just me Sam, alone.” I reply.

“Harry, I’m letting you go through this alone. You’re one of my best friends, I can’t stand to see you this upset or hurt! I’m going through this with you whether you like it or not.” She shyly winks.

“Sam, now is not the time for cheekiness.” I couldn’t help but slightly smile.

“Says the king of cheekiness, come on Harry, let’s be real!” Sam says and laughs.

I laugh along and soon enough, Zayn comes back in with three waters.

“I knew you guys were gonna want some anyway,” Zayn says, “so I brought three.” He grins from ear to ear.

“Thanks babe!” Sam says and kisses him.

“Ewww, okay I think that’s my cue to go…” I say as I stick my tongue out at the couple cuddling in front of me.

“Yeah, hold on let me walk you to the door.” Sam says as she gets out of bed, forgetting she’s only wearing Zayn’s t-shirt that barely covers her butt. I couldn’t help but stare, I mean a half naked girl was practically standing right in front of me. I bite my lip, surprisingly turned on.

“Harry,” Sam snaps her fingers in front of my face, “the door is this way.” She laughs and rolls her eyes as she walks out the bedroom. I look back at Zayn who is just giving me a death stare, I mean come on, she was pretty much naked in front of me.

“Bye Zayn!” I say.

“Bye Harry.” Zayn replies.

I walk down the stairs to the front door of Zayn’s apartment where Sam was standing.

“Harry, I’m scheduling a therapy appointment for you tomorrow after work, at around 7:00. I’m family friends with the best therapist in London, so I’m going to take you there so you don’t have to go alone.” She smiles at me.

I nod as I pick her up by her waist, hug her, and twirl her around. She giggles into the crook of my neck as I place her back on the ground.

“You are too silly Styles.” She says to me as she rubs my head, making my hair messy. I mess with it myself and push it to the right.
