"Harry? Hello?"

Still holding the phone to my ear, I listen to voice on the other line desperately repeat Harry's name over and over until finally hanging up.

"Nees.Come inside," I hear Harry say from behind me, making me jump. I slide the phone into Harry's raincoat I'm wearing, before turning around and looking at him.

"You okay?"

"Yea," I say in the calmest voice I can muster,"I just didn't hear you coming."

His face is covered in large raindrops, of water, his expression, calm. I stare into his green eyes, that only seem to look darker by the second to me, unable to process what I just discovered. Those once pure green eyes deceiving me, tricking me into thinking there isn't a secret hidden behind them.

But there is.

"What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that,"Harry asks, his brows furrowing together, his mouth frowning.

"Will you come inside you just got over your pneumonia a week ago and the doctor said it wasn't good for you to be out in the cold for to..." He says since I stay silent.

"I need to go get some food," I lie,"We don't have much for my family to eat. I'll be back in a little," I tell him grasping onto the keys tightly as I walk over to the driver seat.

I climb into the driver seat quickly pulling Harry's phone out, erasing the call I just answered from Zayn, while watching Harry from the rear view mirror.Now relieved, I turn the car on I hear Harry tap on the window, I roll it down, my heart beating faster and faster for fear of being caught.

"Do you need some money," Harry says handing me a wad of twenties, something I've learned he always weirdly has handy.

"I have money," I say looking into his eyes,"Here's your phone."

"Thanks," He says taking it from me through the window,"Who called?"

"Zayn," I answer simply. I watch his expression change slightly, a bit of anger? Annoyance? Something. But whatever it was if I would've blinked I'd have missed it.

"He's so annoying, probably just wants me to finalize the paperwork that's due by New Year's Eve."

"Mhmm. Probably," I say hoping Harry will pick up on my tone and just come clean.

But he doesn't.

Instead he reaches over through the car window and kisses me on the cheek,telling me not to forget to bring some kind of dessert to have after dinner tonight. I simply nod, turning up the heater in the car.

As I drive away from the house I feel bad for leaving my family that's just arrived with Harry but I know that right now I wouldn't be good company to anyone at all. I can't just sit here with him, he'll know something's wrong and I really don't feel like arguing with him right now.

I pull into the first grocery store with a Starbucks that I see and park. Pulling out my phone, I slide my finger in my contacts to the very bottom of the list and call the one person I can think of.

I've heard Mr. Styles talk on multiple occasions about how long he's know Zayn, and if I remember correctly it's been about fourteen years he's known him.Meaning Zayn must have been around when Martin was alive because according to Harry's story his mother and brother passed away four years; Zayn had already been employed by Styles INC for some time since he's been working with Mr. Styles from a very young age.
