Play! [Discontinued]

Chapter 6 - Aftermath - Part 2

A/N: You know the drill. Give me your thoughts. 

HARRY:

As I watched Cami run to her room, only dressed in my clothes, I couldn’t help but to feel a sense of pride. It wasn’t normally a feeling I’d associate with being in a relationship, but somehow it seemed fitting when it came to Cami and me.

I stared after her for a moment longer than I needed to. Zayn had said something to me this morning when he came out to me in the kitchen. He’d told me that I needed to talk to my sister, and that’s exactly what I planned to do. Especially, after what I’d heard from Cami last night. I still couldn’t believe that someone had purposefully lied to Cami and me, and it was only more unbelievable that this person was my own sister. In fact, I wouldn’t have placed my money on that in a million years.

We’d always been so close, all of us. But after what happened to Edward, I couldn’t exactly blame Tessa for keeping her distance. Especially since she’d been the one who had to take the brunt after I left.

I honestly believed that Edward would hurt my career, which is why it hadn’t really been much of a choice to abandon him. I knew he still resented me, I’d read it in some of his letters, which had all been unopened until a few days ago. I couldn’t exactly put myself in his shoes in this situation.

Sighing, I grabbed my phone and dialed my sister’s number.

“Tess,” I said when she answered. “We need to talk.”

“You bet we do,” she said, his voice stern. “What the hell do you think you’re doing? You’re back together with her now? And you punched Peyton Moon?”

“Wait… how… what… Where do you know this from?” Her outburst took me completely by surprise.

“It’s all over the internet, now. You have no idea what you’ve started, Harry.” She groaned. “You’re such an idiot.”

“Whoa,” I said. “Hold up there, cowgirl. You don’t get to talk to me like that. Not after how you lied to Cami and her sister.”

Tessa snorted on the other end. “Lied? She’s one to talk. And furthermore, I only did it to protect her. Not to mention you, as well.”

“Protect us?” I frowned. “From what?”

“Look,” she said. “I’d love to explain everything, but I can’t right now. I have to make a call before I can say anything for sure. Just… God, Harry. You really screwed up this time.”

She hung up without another word, and I was left staring at the phone in confusion. What was that all about? Protect me from who?

I tried calling the rest of my family members, but they all went to voicemail. Whatever had happened over there, seemed to be occupying them all.

Damn.

 A/N: So, I've run into one of the problems with alternating POV's and parts. Some of them have to be extremely short. Sorry, about that. It will mean, you'll get double updates, though. And I'll do my best to make another one. 

However, before that, I'm gonna go back through "Cut!" and correct all the typos I can find. It would mean a lot to me if any of you wanted to go back through, as well. Maybe help me out by pointing out some mistakes? I've also changed the Sushi incident in Play. To be honest, my own craving for Sushi shone through there. But you guys were right, Cami is allergic, which is why she's now eating Terriyaki chicken instead. LOL. 

Also, to celebrate the one million reads on Cut, I've finally added a cast lists. You can take a look there if you want. Maybe you'll agree with me about the people, or maybe you won't. Nevertheless, tell me your thoughts. Also, what do you think is up with Tessa? What is she hiding? And why did she lie to protect #Hilla? (Also, I'm claiming that as the new one. Just to settle on one. You're all free to use Camry or Carry still. Your choice!)

Give a vote, yeah? I'll try to update once more tonight.
