"Wake up! Harry! WAKE UP!"
Harry jerks awake, and immediately regrets it as pain shoots through his spine and neck. He gently massages his shoulders and the back of his neck, groaning in pain, and then proceeds to crack his knuckles.
"What..." he suppresses a yawn, then look at the intruder of his sleep "Adena?"
"What were you doing sleeping on your desk at 5 in the evening?" she asks, and that's when Harry notices all the papers strewn across his table.
And the events of just earlier today rush into his mind. He grimaces and rubs his burning eyes, not wanting to alarm Adena with all his crying. But of course, who is he kidding? He can't stop the tears. They come pouring out of his eyes and he could do nothing to stop them.
"Harry? Oh God, what's wrong?! Why are you crying?!"
Adena immediately hugs him, her short frame radiating warmth and comfort, and Harry buries his face on the top of her caramel-highlighted chocolate curls, clenching his eyes shut.
"He changed, Adena."
"Who?"
"Zayn. He...changed. He used to be this, sweet and...considerate guy but now... He was in London for two months but he didn't even tell me!"
"Two months?!" Adena screeches.
"Yes! And when I met him at the grocery store earlier today, and I asked him 'why?', all he did was shrug as if he didn't...care..." he whispers the last word, finally realising that it may be true.
But Adena has complete different views, and she shakes her head firmly. "No. The Zayn I know, you know, will never do that. He must be still settling down, Harry. You know how hard it is for him to adapt to new surroundings. And now he doesn't even have Claire — his anchor. He must be so alone."
But Harry shakes his head too, and just sobs in return.
He hates himself in the moment.
Hates himself for letting a guy affect him so much.
Hates himself for writing pages and pages of songs about him.
And hates himself for loving him.
Till now.
