We Love

Chapter 12

I startled awake to a clattering noise coming from downstairs. I look up to Louis' face. His mouth is slightly parted, silent snores coming out.

I get up and head downstairs to see what the noise was. I am still slightly sore from the incident that took place yesterday.

When I arrive downstairs, I see Kenna crouched down picking up pieces of glass. I start to help her,

"Are you ok?" I ask her

"Oh, yeah, I just dropped it...." She trails off. I get a weird vibe from her and she doesn't make eye contact with me the entire time.

"Kenna...." I start slowly.

"Ya....?" She says putting the broken pieces of a plate into the rubbish bin.

"Is something wrong? Look at me." I demand lightly.

She hesitates but slowly looks up to me. When she does, there is a bruise on her right cheek.

"Oh my god! What happened?!" I practically scream. I really don't want to put this on Harry but....

"Shhh! I don't want him to hear you!" Kenna interrupts me from my thoughts.

"Who....?" I ask cautiously. When she doesn't answer I know that he did it.

"Kenna...."

"I don't know what happened. The past couple of days he's been....distant. Something has changed within him and I want to figure it out." She states.

"I'll help you if you want." I offer and she nods.

We had made breakfast and I told her all of the events that had happened yesterday. She was surprised but then soon recovered as she began to tell me more about Harry.

"....and I just" Her face went pale as someone walked through the kitchen. I turn around to find Harry.

I look at him in disgust and furry. He shrugs grabbing a banana and walking off. I decide to follow him.

I stand up to be stopped by Kenna grabbing my arm. She looks at me with pleading eyes, asking me not to.

"It's alright, I'm just gonna talk to him." I say and she lets me go.

When I reach him in the hallway I grab his shoulder. He abruptly turns around, an angry look on his face.

"What?!" He spits.

When my eyes widen he rolls his and starts to walk away. Again.

I rush in front of him.

"No! Don't what me! What's wrong with you?! I thought you were in love with Kenna! If you were, you wouldn't have hit her!" I whisper shout so that Kenna won't hear us.

His eyebrows raise in surprise. I roll my eyes and start to walk away but he grabs my upper arm and pulls me to his and Kenna's room.

"Listen, Louis and Zayn want to make me part of their team."

"Team?" I question,

"Ya, it's like a gang. Anyway they saw me fight off Conner and his little posse and Louis made a deal with me."

What?

"What kind of deal?" I ask, a little scared of his response.

"A deal!" He growls.

"Well then why the hell would you hit your girlfriend?!"

"That's still what I'm trying to figure out...." He says as something fills his eyes. It's not tears but....sadness, regret....?

"Tell me what happened." I say softly,

He sighs and sits on the bed. I walk over and sit next to him.

"It started when I got back from the....making the deal. It was about two in the morning and I had suspected Kenna to be asleep....but she wasn't. So when I opened the door she sprang from sitting on the bed and started scolding me. In a nutshell, we both got really angry and frustrated and my emotions got the best of me and I slapped her." Harry finished, his voice cracking at the end.

"Harry, you need to do something for her. You have to make it up to her." I tell him. I felt bad for him but he shouldn't have done that.

He sharply stood up. I jumped, startled. He started pacing back and forth, tugging at his long hair. He was frustrated.

"I'll give you space to think about it....just don't break anything." I tell him.

I leave the room and renter the kitchen. I find a shirtless Louis raiding the fridge.

It takes me a minute to realize that this is real life.

"Like what you see?" He chuckles.

I walk over to him a hook my arms around his neck. He plants a soft kiss on my lips.

When we pull away, my curiosity gets the best of me.

"What was the deal you made with Harry?" I ask in a whisper.

His eyes grow dark and I take a step back from him.

"You don't need to know." He says harshly.

"Why can't I?" I ask a little louder.

"Drop it!" He yells and I jump back a little.

"Dammit!" he yells and brushes passed me going upstairs.
