I wake up with a horrible headache. I have a long  shower, trying to get rid of the tiredness. I get into my black sweat pants and a hoodie over my bra. I let my wet hair down to dry and walk downstairs to the restaurant to have some breakfast and tea for this stupid headache.

I take some scrambled egg into my plate and two toast. I sit down on the farthest table in the corner trying to avoid all the chitter-chatter.

"What are you doing here?" I look up and see Varun, all freshened up, with a cup in his hand. His wounds still fresh but he looks a little better.

"Having breakfast." I state simply as I take a bite of the hot egg.

"No, I meant alone....in the corner." He says and takes a seat next to me and sips on his hot tea.

"I just didn't want to talk to anyone." I say quietly.

"So bummed out with the argument with Harry, huh?" He says, not looking at me and stares at his tea.

Shit! He must have heard the entire conversation last night. I was so busy arguing with Harry that I forgot that I was sharing rooms with Varun.

"I'm sorry." I mumble, feeling horrible. "I wanted you to rest and I didn't let you get proper sleep." I add, as I look up at him.

"Well you look like you didn't get proper sleep." He gives me a lopsided smile.

"Yeah, couldn't sleep at all." It's true, I couldn't. The entire argument kept playing in my mind the entire time. I feel like I've lost Harry, his friendship because of my big mouth and the stupid thoughts that I keep thinking of over and over again. I want to apologize to him. It's the argument that made me realise that I actually have strong feelings for him. He makes me feel special. And I think, I hope, he feels the same way too. When he said last night that Kendall was just his friend, I felt guilty. He was telling me the truth the whole time. And I promised myself that I won't ever be reading anymore more of this gossips that gets published on social media.

Should I talk to him now? Or shall I go up to his room?

"Hello." Varun waves his hand in front of my face, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Sorry."

Varun rolls his eyes, "Stop apologizing. Look I know it's none of my business, but what happened exactly? How did he end up coming into my room?"

"He just came to check up on me after he came to know about Tom." I sigh as I take the last bite of my egg.

"Oh." He licks his lips and continues, "You should..." He speaks, but doesn't finish. Instead he shakes his head.

"I should what?"

"Never mind." He waves his hand, telling me to let it go.

"No, tell me. What were you saying?"

"You should stay away from Harry." He blurts out, his expression turning soft.

"What?" My eyebrows furrow as I look at him.

"Yeah, I mean...You're too good for him."

"And what's that supposed to mean?" I snap at him. How can he judge Harry like that?

"You don't even know him that well!" He exclaims.

"And I know you very well?" I huff in annoyance.

"Why are you defending him?" Varun snaps.

"Why are you being so judgemental?" I retaliate.

"Look, all I'm saying is that you're too...too innocent." He looks at me...his eyes showing me concern.
