Twenty - Cheater

I take a deep breath before knocking on the door, this is something I just had to do, for my own good. I wait a good 2 minutes before knocking again. Sighing I dig in my purse and take out the spare key Lucas had once given me. When I walk in I don't see him in his living room. I frown, normally he is home at this time of the day. I take my cellphone and see that Harry had sent me a message.

Everything alright?

I quickly text him back

I don't think he's home

Or maybe he was sleeping, I walk to his bedroom and carefully open the door walking in. When I see what was going on my eyes widened. I cover my mouth and look at Lucas and the girl that was sleeping on his chest. 

"No," I whisper with a blurry sight.

"No," I say louder and see Lucas waking up and realizing I was standing in the room.

"Avery, I can explain!" he says and gets up. I just shake my head and walk down the hall back into the living room.

"Avery please, let me explain!" he shouts, I turn around and look at him.

"Explain then!" I demand and cross my arms.

"It's not what it looks like," he starts but I just laugh.

"Oh yeah? Cause to me it looks like you're cheating on me!" I yell at him.

"Like you aren't cheating on me you unfaithful whore!" 

"That's it!" I say and want to walk over to him, but feel someone pulling me against them at my waist. 

"Settle down now Avery," Harry says in my ear.

"No! Let me punch him!" I scream and want to break free from his grip.

"Avery, let's just go home."

"No! Let me fucking punch him!"

"What the hell is going on in here?" the girl that Lucas was sleeping with in bed walks into the room. I look at her and see why Lucas would chose her. It was a beautiful woman, dark skin, dark hair and man she had the longest legs I had ever seen. She frowned when she saw me and Harry holding me.

"Lucas, who is this?" she asks and looks at him.

"Uhm," Lucas scratches the back of his neck and looks at the girl.

"I"m his girlfriend, well, ex-girlfriend," I inform her.

"You have a girlfriend?" the girl asks.

"You son of a bitch!" The next thing is something I could have never predicted. She walks over to him and punches him right in the face. 

"Fuck, you bitch! I didn't know you could hit that hard!" Lucas shouts. I stare at her in awe.

"That's what you get for cheating, bitch." she answers and then turns to me. 

"Let's go," she says and takes her purse.

"Thank god I got dressed before walking in there," she says as we walk back to the car. 

"I'm Christina by the way."

"Avery and this is Harry," I answer back.

 "Look, I didn't know you were his girlfriend," Christina starts.

"Ex-girlfriend," I correct her.

"Yes of course, sorry. When I first met Lucas he told me he was single and looking for some fun. So was I. I just got out of an awful relationship and really needed someone to help me forget. Lucas did so, it was only physical, I never loved him or something, he was just a rebound. What he did to you was a shit move. I hope I punched him hard enough and that his nose is broken," she tells me. I smile and look at her.

"Where did you learn how to hit that hard?" I ask her then.

"My father taught me. I didn't exactly grew up in the nicest neightbourhoods, but I made it. Got my diploma, it's really hard to get a good job when you didn't get the best education in secondary school."

"Yeah it must be hard, a lot of public schools here need improvement," I agree with her.

"I agree with you on that," she says and smiles.

"You need a ride?" Harry then asks.

"Yeah, Lucas picked me up last night, so a ride home should come in handy."

When we had dropped Christina off me and Harry headed back to our apartment complex. Deciding I didn't wanna be alone right now I follow Harry into his place.

"Are you okay?" Harry asks me as soon as we walk into his apartment. I look at him and shake my head starting to sob.

"Come here," Harry says extending his arms. I quickly walk to him and bury my head in his chest holding him tight. After a while Harry lets me go, I give him a puzzled look.

"Maybe we should take our coats off," Harry clarifies and takes of his coat. I nod and take off mine too and put my purse on the ground.

"Come," he says and nods to the couch. I follow him and sit down on the couch next to him. Without hesitating I lay down in his arms and close my arms crying again. 

"It's okay," Harry says softly while stroking my hair. When I'm a bit calmed down I look up and look at Harry, staring right into his eyes.

"What's wrong?" he asks. I don't answer but just look at him, forgetting about everything around me, only looking at those beautiful green eyes and before I realize it my lips are on his. Harry immediately responses kissing me back and cupping my cheek. This felt so good, but so wrong. 

When we break apart realization hits me like a truck, I shouldn't be doing this. 

"I shouldn't have done that," I whisper and get up.

"God I'm so stupid!" I say and run my hands through my hair.

"Avery," Harry sighs.

"No, please don't talk to me, I can't do this, I just broke up, I shouldn't be kissing another guy already."

"Avery -"

"No, please," I say and take my coat and purse.

"I have to go," I tell him and walk out the door. When I get into my own apartment I sit down on the floor and start crying, again.

"I'm so stupid," I sob and run my hands trough my hair. Harry doesn't deserve this, he was probably in his apartment right now, feeling so confused because of me. I didn't just hurt myself, I hurt him too, something I never wanted to do. I dragged him down in my misery. 

This is one of the main reasons I didn't like to get close to people. We would just both end up hurt because of me. But I always failed so miserably, and now see where it got me. On the floor of my apartment bawling my eyes out and feeling so weak. After the tears had stopped flowing I got up and walked towards my bedroom changing and then walked back to my living room and sat down on the couch.

It wasn't late at all so I just watched TV until I fell asleep. 

When I woke up again I saw it was 1am. I get up and barely make it to my bed when I fall down on it and fall asleep immediately.
