Secrets and lies

Chap.14

Hayden's pov

it's been two days since I've been in this place. Two fricking days, and Harry and I still haven't gotten along so well. I don't expect us too, but at least we can try and go one day with out arguing about stupid stuff.

I only spoke to my mom twice and I'm wondering why she's not calling me anymore. She said she's busy but she can't take two minutes of her time and call me?

Right now, I'm flipping through channels on the tv and we literally only have about five channels.

I looked over at the other couch to see Harry quietly reading a book he brought.

I turned the tv off and turned my attention to him just staring at him and just trying to figure out his story. I know. Creepy.

"Like what you see, love?" He said not looking away from his book

I scoffed and rolled my eyes. "what's your story?" I asked before I could stop it.

"Uh, well I'm reading the Jason steed series right now." he faked smiled.

"No I mean, tell me about yourself."

"Do I have to?"

"Yes."

"Ok,then" He closed the book in his hand after marking the page. "Well, my name is Harry Styles and I'm kinda a secret investigator I don't know I'm just taking up after my dad." he shrugged.

"Your dad? Was he also a investigator like you?" I asked.

"Uh yeah but he was the best. Way better than me. He followed you around for years and he managed not to get caught."

"Wait. So your dad was stalking me too?!"

"He wasn't stalking you. He was just doing his job and making sure your safe."

"Why are you here then? what happened to him?"

He looked away before looking back at me and taking a deep breath.

"H-he died." he let out a shakey breath, looking away.

"Oh. How?"

"I don't know! I don't fucking know okay!" He yelled, his eyes watery.

"I'm sorry. You don't have to continue." I quietly said before getting up.

He rubbed his face before continuing."He had something going on with his heart I guess and he didn't tell anyone about it not even me. He just kept working because he loved his job and I guess he didn't want anyone pitying him. He hated pity. He was a brave man but I'm so angry that he fucking knew the whole time and didn't say a word to anyone." He cried putting his head in his hands and leaned on his knees for support.

I didn't know what to do. I honestly haven't been in a situation like this before. I guess all I could do right now is comfort him.

So that's what I did. Despite all the drama and arguments we've been through, he needs someone right now.

I got up from my spot and hesitantly went to sit beside him.

I laid a hand on his back running weird patterns on it.

He stiffened before relaxing and trying to calm down.

"One day he was parked outside your house before you moved, and I was with him. I lived with my mom and sister and he wanted me to come and see what it's like to be an investigator because one day I might be one. He wanted me to follow in his footsteps. Anyways, we were in his car and it just happened like that. He was having a heart attack and I didn't know what to do. I was in shock and couldn't move until I called your mom and they rushed him to the hospital. I guess you were sleeping at the time and didn't know. Anyways by the time we got there it was too late. The last words I said to him was, 'I didn't want to do this job' now look where I am." He sighed and calming down a bit while I still rub his back.

"Harry it's ok. I'm sure he would be so proud right now. Don't blame yourself for not doing anything. You called my mom and that was the right thing to do." I gave him a small smile even though he's not looking at me.

He didn't say anything for awhile and I thought he might of fallen asleep.

"Thank you." he looked up at me and gave me a small smile.

"No problem." I said awkwardly taking my hand from his back and laying it on my lap. "So is there anything we can do around here to lighten up the mood?"

"I don't know. Your dad said there was a room filled with things to do I guess we can check there."

"Ok" I nodded getting up and checking every room in this house until I found one with board games and other things to do. But one really caught my eyes and I smiled picking it up and closing the door behind me as I walked back downstairs to where Harry was drinking a bottle of water and staring at the wall.

He looked up at me and widened his eyes once he saw what I had in my hands.

"Let's do some karaoke." I smirked.
