Stepbrother (H.S)

Chapter 67: Try Me

"Try me." He stated.

I stood against the door with my palms flat against the door. I was shaking out of my pants right now. Harry stood over me. He looked down at me with a glare and a face that expected an explanation.

I stuttered. "W-Well, you see Harry. I was out all night because... because" 

I looked around avoiding eye contact. I really didn't want to tell Harry the real reason I was out all night. He raised an eyebrow. 

"Because what?" He demanded.

I closed my eyes. "Because I was outside..." I peeped. 

I opened one of my eyes to take a peek at his face. He did not look too happy at my procrastination.

"Tell me where you were or God so help me, I will-"

"I was with Zayn." I squeaked.

I winced and waited for his reaction to my confession. He didn't say a word. He backed away and sat on the bed. He sat down and placed his head in his hands. I stood still, too afraid to move or speak. Harry's lack of words gave me high anxiety. I was on edge waiting for his next move. I looked at him wary of what he might do.

He sighed. "Did I or did I not tell you to say away from Zayn. I feel like you're doing this to purposely make me angry."

"But Harry I-"

He interrupted. "What's your wild excuse for seeing him this time?" He questioned. 

He seemed so immune to the thought that, I'm not even sure if he really cared about my explanation at this point. 

"Zayn said that he wanted to talk to me. He told me that he saw Louis and Nina meeting secretly. I think something is going on between them." I explained.

Harry looked at me unamused. "Why couldn't he just text you this information? Did you have to sneak out and spend the night with him?"

"Yes but, that wasn't my fault. He gave me this weird tea with melatonin in it and I fell asleep on the couch. I was planning on coming home last night. It was an accident." I stated.

"So, he practically drugged you?" He stated.

"It was an accident! He said that he didn't mean to give me that tea. He just didn't read the box." I explained.

"Right, just like Louis at the party. I'm sure he didn't mean to drug your drink that night." He replied sarcastically.

He stood up from the bed and walked closer to me.

"When are you going to learn Anna? You can't just trust everybody! Who knows what Zayn did while you were asleep? Even if he didn't do anything, you gave him the opportunity to. You're just so naive sometimes!" Harry yelled. I felt my eyes start to blur. My lip quivered as I stood my ground. 

"Zayn would never do that to me. He's different." I defended.

Harry scoffed. "And you trust him huh? Just like you trusted Louis? He's a teenage guy. Not everyone has your best interest at heart Anna."

I began to cry. "He's not like that." I defended.

"Oh yeah, has he ever tried to make a move on you? Be honest." Harry asked.

I looked away. My face felt hot as the cool tears ran down my cheeks. I swallowed the lump in my throat that wouldn't go down.

"Just what I thought," Harry stated.

"What about you? You don't have my best interest in mind either Harry. You're just jealous that I might actually start to like Zayn. He's not using me like you are. I don't belong to you. I'm your stepsister!"

The room fell silent after my outburst. Harry stared at me. His face was stunned at first, but then it turned to anger. He brushed past me and walked out, leaving my room. He didn't look back. I heard him walk down the stairs and out of the front door.

I didn't care that he was upset. I was sick of Harry controlling me and what I do. He's not my boyfriend or father. Not even my stepfather. He's my stepbrother and so he needs to start acting like it. I threw my pillows off of the bed and laid down on my face. I screamed into the duvet and cried my eyes out.

Maybe I just needed some time to think, time that was away from Harry. He had no right to talk to me the way he did just now. I could care less about where he was going. I'm not going to look for him this time. He should stop being such a child.  As long as he doesn't go to bother Zayn.

Oh my god! What if he's going to go bother Zayn?

I quickly jumped up and grabbed my phone. I went to my contacts to dial Harry's phone number. I had to stop him before he does anything stupid. The phone rang a few times.

"We're sorry but the person you are trying to reach is unavailable at this time. If you would like to leave a message, please record after the tone." Beep!

"Harry, if you're planning on going after Zayn, please don't. This is between you and me. I'm serious Harry. Call me back now."

I hung up the phone and texted Zayn. I needed to warn him. Harry might be out looking for him. Harry is angry right now which is never a good sign.

Bambi- Harry is on his way to you. He knows about everything.

Zayn- So?

Bambi- I'm trying to warn you. You might be in trouble!

Zayn- let him come. I'm not scared of Harry.

Bambi- please don't do anything reckless.

Zayn- sorry, no promises.

I groaned. This was the last thing that I wanted to happen. I threw my phone on the bed. I didn't know what else to do. I paced around my bedroom. I couldn't let Harry hurt zayn. I decided to go to Zayn's house to stop them from doing anything stupid.

I needed to go to Zayn's house.
