Penelope

I answer the door, confronted by a pissed of haz, lucky for me JJ and Si where out.

“What do you want Lewis?” I questions, agitated. I didn't want to push him away, but it was best for him in the long run, “How stupid do you have to be that you haven't realised I don't want to talk to you, are you blind?” I say, letting out a heavy prolonged sigh.

“Where did I go wrong Pen?” He puzzled sounding frustrated, “What did I do? Because all I did was love you, you're the one that left as soon as things became harder” He screamed, “So if anyone should be mad, it should be me”

“You didn't do anything” I reassured, leaning on the front door, “I just, it's complicated Haz, can you just go?” I beg, tiered of how messy things were now.

“Is it Cal?” He proposes the thought, clearly it had been playing on his mind.

“What?” I spat out.

“Is it you and him now?” He questioned, each syllable doused in the bitterest poison.

“No, its not me and him now” I say, dissmisivley, “Hes just available that's all, no strings just relief” I admitted, avoiding the harsh glare of his eyes.

He stared at me as if I was an impossible maths question he couldn't work out the answer to.

“What?” I sighed, defeated.

“I don't get it” He announced, throwing his hands up dramatically, “We fell in love, you left came back got upset about me having a girlfriend so I tried to fix things even if it hurt Hannah for you to throw it in my face by fucking my best friend on a friends with benefit basis” He ranted, frantically trying to get out each word, “You really are unbelievable, I just after all these years still can't read you Penelope” He says, stepping into my apartment, barging into my side as he did so.

“I'm not asking you to understand me Harry” I reply, “I shoudnt have come back but Si was relentless, ill be gone again soon so stop trying to figure me out go back to Hannah and just forget about me” I demanded, as if I had the right to.

“I knew you once, what happened?” He puzzled, slumping into the couch, he had a tiered look in his eyes one I had only ever seen in my own.

“That was a long time ago, I'm someone else now” I remark, sitting besides him as I fiddle with the hem of my shirt.

Without warning, catching me of guard Harry raised his hand carresing the side of my cheek as he slowly moved his face closer to mine. The heat radiated of us both as his thumb brushed against my lips.

Taking all the self control I have left I turned my face away.

“Why are you doing this?” I ask.

“Because, I don't want to let you go we are right together pen and I know you feel that to”

“But what about what you said the over day when you claimed you're not in love with me anymore?”

“I would say a lot of things if it meant I got to keep you in my life” He admitted, those enticing orbs shot to the floor avoiding my gaze.

“But Hannah?" I look at him confused, “I thought-”

“We broke up, it wasn't right leading her along like that, and I know she came round here the other day I'm sorry about that she shouldn't have” He apologised, finally meeting my eyes again.

“If you broke up because of me-”

“It wasn't your fault P” He reassured, “we weren't okay for a long while before you showed back up” He explained, almost sounding regretful.

“This still can't happen Harry, you and I aren't good together” She rambled, coming up with a excuse so she wouldn't have to burden him with the sad truth of it all.

“The old us, they weren't good together but the people we are now might be” He reasoned, scanning my face longingly.

“I'm so sorry”

Standing up, I run out of my own temporary flat once again ingoring the foggy calls of my name.
