The Way Things Work

Chapter Seventy Four

You ran into the room and stumbled through the door. Your eyes seemed to be out of tears to shed as you stopped crying. Your chest was in literal pain from the heartbreak as you whipped the closet opened. You hauled your suitcase out and threw it on the bed. As you went over to the drawers your phone rang against the table. You looked over as Louis' name sprinted across the screen.

Another friend betrayed you.

 'What?'  

'Well good morning to you too love!' He chirped without a care in the world.  

'How about a screw you?'

 'What's up your ass?' He joked.

 'Like you don't know.'

 'Well I don't?'  

'You mean you didn't know about how this engagement was all a part of the original plan? That Harry doesn't actually love me and he's been seeing Angel?'

 'W-What?'

 'Bye Louis.'  You snapped as you hung up.  You threw your phone to the side and began throwing anything that belonged to you into the suitcase. It was chaotic.

'Sam? Sam! Open the door!' Harry banged helplessly on the other side.

 'No.' You scoffed.

 'Please! You need to listen to me!'

 'That's all I've been doing.'  

'No you need to hear the truth!'

 'No.' You muttered. Everything seemed to pause and go silent as you made your way over to the door. 'I can't hear the truth because I don't think I  can bare it.'

'That's because you don't know the truth!'

 'What is it Harry?'  

'Let me in and I'll explain, please. Sam I'm begging you, please listen to me. I love you.'   You regretfully opened the door and he pinned you back. His arms held your biceps and he kicked the door closed and pushed you into the bedroom.   'W-What are you doing?'

 'I was packing.'

 'Listen, the-'  

'The whole truth Harry.'

'When this whole plot was formed there was a chance we were going to have a fake engagement but that was going almost a year back when Rob still worked for Simon. I swear to you that this isn't fake and I have not been seeing Angle. I swear to God Sam. I can't even picture my life without you. Please you need to trust me. I would never use you like this. I am so in love with you. Please.'

'If that's true why the Hell would they make something like that up? And how did they know where we were staying?'

 'Rob probably made it up because I did something stupid.'  

'The whole truth.' You reminded him.  

'Right. Well, a few weeks ago he called me up saying that there is an up and coming band and he referred the potential employer to me for a recommendation. I guess I was still so annoyed at him I sabotaged the call and lost him the job. And they must have know we were here because of Sarah. No one knew that Sarah and Liam were dating. They never released it to the press. How would   Angle know unless they have been talking?'

'Y-You're right.' You continued packing though.

 'Babe then why are you still packing? What did I do? I want to fix it.'  

'You can't fix it.'

 'Of course I can-'  

'No Harry! You  can't!' You turned and yelled.
