I didn’t know what else to do other than cry, this is going to tear my mom apart. I’m too scared to even look at Ian, so I just continue to cry into his shoulder. I can feel his chest moving fast as if he’s about to explode. He makes me look at him pulling my face up. “Let’s go.” He says sternly before grabbing my keys from my hand, and pulling me towards the door. I stop once we get to it, “I can’t go back there, I can’t look at that monster.” I say as my tears start falling again. He turns back to me and pulls me into a tight hug, he begins to calm me down, “It’ll be okay.” He says into my hair, “It will. I promise.” I look at him in the eyes hoping to find a glimpse of doubt in them, but there’s nothing. “Okay, let’s go.” I say hesitantly after a few minutes.
When we get to my house I told him where she’d be and went into my room to pack a few things. I grabbed the picture of me and my dad and stared at it for a few moments. “I HATE YOU!” I screamed before throwing it at the wall watching glass fly as the picture shattered against it.
I heard my dad’s bedroom door open and didn’t hear anything. I can’t let Ian face this alone; I have to be there with him. I slowly began to walk down the hall towards the room and stood next to him grabbing his hand out of my emotional mental state. “IAN!” Alex screamed after a few moments, “What are you doing with her?!” Ian looked at her in the coldest way he could, he looked so coldly that it frightened me. “ARE YOU KIDDING ME? YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO ASK ME WHAT I’M DOING WITH A GIRL AS YOU’RE NAKED IN BED WITH THIS GIRLS FATHER. IF YOU WANTED OUT OF THE RELATIONSHIP WHY DIDN’T YOU JUST SAY SOMETHING INSTEAD OF CHEATING ON ME? FUCK YOU ALEX. WE ARE DONE. YOUR SHIT WILL BE ON THE DRIVEWAY WHEN YOU GET HOME.” He screams before walking out of the room and pulling me with him.
I walk into my room to grab the few things I’d packed for me and went into Allie’s room to grab things that she’d need as well. I can’t stop thinking about how this will affect my mom, what will she do? She doesn’t deserve this. I pull out my phone and begin dialing my mom’s number to tell her just as Ian grabs my phone and puts it in his pocket, “You are not calling your mom and telling her something this big over the phone.” He says. I look at him scared, “She deserves to know.” I say and my voice cracks. “So tell her in person, not over the phone. It’ll hurt a hell of a lot more if you tell her over the phone.” He says looking at me. “Okay.” I say as we drive back to his house.
“Can you send Allie out; we’re going to stay with my friend.” I ask as he hands me my phone. “No, you’re staying here. I have plenty of room.” He says sternly taking my keys out of the ignition. I huff in defeat, “okay.” I say not having the energy to argue with him about this. “You and Allie can take my room, I’ll take the couch.” He says showing me up to his room as we see Allie already asleep on the couch. “Looks like I’ll be taking the couch with her.” I say trying to be funny. “No. You still get my bed, I’ll take the floor.” He says. “She can sleep in my room.” Harry says appearing from what seems to be his bedroom. “No.” Ian says before pulling me into his room and shutting the door.
He starts grabbing things from the closet and drawers, things that I assume are Alex’s. He was serious it was really going to be on the driveway. He started throwing things off the balcony and swearing under his breath. I just watched his every move scared to say anything. “It’ll be okay Ian.” I finally say. “It’ll be okay? It’ll be okay? It won’t be okay! The love of my life just cheated on me!” He says finally breaking down. He sits on the bed and puts his head in his hands and falls apart. I move from where I am and hug him tightly. He laughs, why is he laughing? Does he think I’m stupid for trying to comfort him? I let go and move away from him. “S-sorry.” I stutter before looking away. “No, I’m not laughing at you. I’m laughing at her. She’s pathetic.” He says laughing harder.
After a few minutes he’d calmed down laid on the bed next to me just staring at me intently. What is he doing? “Thank you.” He whispered before looking at the ceiling. “Let’s do something this tomorrow, let’s have a party. With all your friends, and mine.” He said. I nodded in agreement, that should be fun.
I woke up the next morning with Ian not there, oh god. I hope he didn’t do anything stupid. I went downstairs and saw him sitting at the counter with a coffee mug in his hand. I looked at the clock and it was 8:30. Shit. We’re late for school. “Allie! Get up! We’re late!” I started panicking. “I already took her to school.” He says with a smirk. I gave him a thankful smile and proceeded upstairs to get ready. I turn when I’m halfway up the stairs and look back at Ian. “Where’s Harry?” I ask. “If he’s not in his room, he’s at school.” He responds setting his coffee mug down.
After I’m ready I head back downstairs and grab a coffee mug as Ian is sitting on the couch watching the news. “I’m leaving; I’ll be back later, if that’s okay.” I say. He stands up to meet me, “Of course it is.” He says kissing my forehead. What is he doing? “Okay, I’ll see you later then.” I say as I grab my keys from the table by the door.
