The One

Chapter 36

I've been driving around not giving up on looking for Ariana. She won't answer any of my texts or calls, and its killing me badly. I need to know she is ok, doubt it since I hurt her.

Where was she last time she wasn't home?

Santa Monica!

I immediately get in the free way and head to Santa Monica. I really screwed this up. I should have stopped what I was doing once I found out Zayn left town. But I wanted to make sure she rejected him. I fucking screwed everything up! I'm such an asshole.

I drive around coffee store asking for her, I know coffee places are her favorite to be at. Its 12 am, not many coffee places are open, but the ones that are open, I go and check.

I've been looking for her and its already 1:30 am. She won't appear. I decide to stay in Santa Monica, I drive up to a hotel and check in a room. I enter the room and head to sleep.

Ariana's POV

I wake up and realize I am not in my bed. I drift my head to look at the time, its 5:30 am. It still pretty dark outside, I stand up and wash my face. I have no makeup on and I look tired. I grab my car keys and my wallet and check out. Outside the parking lot, I see a black car similar to Harry's. Next door I see the door open, I can hear Harry's voice talking on the phone.

"He knows I am here in Santa Monica. He can't see me," I say in my head. I quickly walk away around the hotel to find my car. Good thing I didn't park next to my room.

Harry's POV

Its 5:30 am, and I go out the door to head back to Long Beach. When I step out the door I see a blonde tall girl walk away in the corner of the hotel. I ignore it and get in my car. I have almost no battery in my phone and Ariana hasn't answered nothing from me.

I hate this feeling. I've had this feeling before, I always hurt everyone. I deserve to stay alone forever. I care for this girl and all I fucking did was destroy her, her delicate heart I shattered it in pieces and for that I feel like a piece of shit.

"Kendall?" I say into the phone.

"Yes, what's wrong? Are you crying?"

"Can I come live with you?

"Why? What's wrong?"

"You were right, I am sorry for not believing you. What I need right now is to get out of here."

"Yes sure, text me when your flight arrives so I can pick you up."

"Thank you, i'll get on the next flight."

I drive home, knowing my mom won't be there, she works. I enter the house and head to my room and start packing a suit case. I throw my suit case on the bed, and quickly start packing it. I throw my jeans, shirts, undies, shoes. In my purse all my money, my credit card, charger. I throw in everything I will need and walk down to my car.

I open the door and find Eleanor about to ring the door bell. "Ariana!" Eleanor says surprised.

I look down.

"Ariana! You had us worried, I mean you just rushed out and disappeared last night, we been looking for you, Harry has been looking for you all day long. He is on his way."

"Eleanor, I am sorry but this is not a good time, I have to leave."

"Where are you going?" Eleanor asks as she looks down at my suit case.

"Away from here."

"Harry has been worried for you. He hasn't stopped looking for you. He loves-"
