Trust Me

Chapter 17.

We walk towards the kitchen and I instantly regret it when I see the person I didn't want to see this morning.

NIALL.

Ugh! What a lovely way to start my morning.

"Nice to see you're up." He say coldly in a sarcastic manner, with an arrogant fake smile.

Asshole.

He is sipping on a glass of water, clearly hungover. His expression changes instantly when he sees Harry entering the kitchen and walking to the fridge.

He looks over at me as I shift uncomfortably from where I'm standing. With wide eyes he turns around and refills his glass. I can see with how he reacted that he was thinking about last night. I had hoped he was so drunk that he maybe forgotten.

Clearly not.

If he opens his bloody mouth I swear I'll lose it. Not because I want to hide it from Harry but because I should be the one to tell him.

As Harry close the fridge door, I can see he's picking up on our strange behaviour. "Erhm, did I miss something?" He asks confused as he looks back and forth between Niall and myself.

Just as Niall opens his mouth to speak I cut him off. "No! Uhm.. I just-" I'm caught off guard as Louis enters the room with Bianca on his arm, clearly impressed by something she said, as they're both laughing.

Harry looks even more confused but realisation hits him when he turns around and see what I'm staring at.

Well this just keeps getting better and better..

'Maddy! Oh my god! I didn't know you were here!" She moves in for a hug but I take a step back. Confusion spreads all over her face. How can she think everything's all rainbows and unicorns when clearly it's not?

"Yeah, because you were too busy caught up with Louis to even notice I came here last night." My tone is harsh.

"I.." She tries but I put my finger in the air and continue to speak.

"If it wasn't for me you wouldn't have even met Louis! The least you could do is stop blowing me off for him! Why didn't you tell me about Louis! I don't understand how you would hide this from me! Do you know how much that hurts?" I am yelling now.

Just as I'm about to continue, I feel a hand on my arm. "Maddy.." when I look up, emerald green eyes are staring back at me. I am quickly snapped back to reality when I realise the other three boys are still standing in the kitchen, shocked of my outburst.

"Let's go." He whispers, sending chills throughout my whole body.

I don't want to go. I want to keep throwing everything in her face that I've kept in so long. But I know if I don't stop now, I'll say something I'll regret later.

With a simple nod, I walk with Harry out of the kitchen, but stop in my tracks as I turn around to give the confused girl, unsure of what to do, a final glance.

...

The ride home is silent, but comforting.  I have to clear my head and think properly of what I just said to my best friend.

Was it really necessary? I mean.. I was a little harsh.

I think I was overreacting.

AND made a complete fool out of myself in front of the boys.

Like.. what if she tried to tell me but just didn't know how?

What if..

What if she didn't have time to tell me?

Maybe she didn't deser.. No! Stop it Maddy. You're being ridiculous. She did deserve it! She lied to me about this whole situation.

She didn't exactly lie to you. My subconscious reminds me.

I think I owe her an apology. I-

I'm snapped back to reality with Harry's hand gently resting on my thigh. Just a simple gesture like that can send fire through my core.

"You okay?" He asks with a calm source in his voice.

"Mm." I reply. "Fine, just thinking about everything I said. Do you think I was wrong?"

"Erhm, no. I don't think you were wrong. I probably would've done the same thing." He says hesitantly.

I look over at him, giving him a small smile before we pull up into my mother's driveway. He opens the car door for me and we both walk towards the front door. I try to remain calm as I feel his hand on my lower back.

We stand there, in front of the door, unsure of what to do. As he finally breaks the silence. "To get your mind off of things, I thought we could maybe go to dinner?"

I feel my stomach turn and I look at him through my lashes. "I'd love that."

"I'll pick you up six. Wear something casual." He says before cupping my cheeks and placing his lips on mine. It's one of those kisses that is shown in movies. All this needs is a sappy song and a fireworks display.

I enter the house with my mom immediately rushing downstairs towards me.

What's her case? Oh boy.. I know exactly what.

I completely forgot to let her know last night that I wasn't coming home. Honestly, that was the last thing on my mind.

"Madison Scott!! Where the hell have you been! You told me you would be home by ten, yet you sleep over at some drunk party without returning any of my calls or texts! What has gotten into you young lady?" 

I really don't have energy for this too.

"Care to explain yourself?"

"Mom, I'm sorry okay?" I say in a weak voice. "My ride got really drunk and I didn't have any money for a cab. My phone died and... Bianca and I aren't exactly... Well.. friends anymore." And with that I feel a single tear streaming down my face.

My mom's expression softens and with a frustrated sigh, I run upstairs to my room.

As I enter my room, I immediately put my phone on charge and as it takes a while to turn on, I see I have 23 missed calls and 16 messages from my mother. I open a few of them.

*Maddy when are you coming home?*

*Why aren't you answering my calls?*

*where the hell are you?*

*Madison Scott you're in a deep load of trouble. Get home now.*

I roll my eyes and put my phone on my side table.

....

I wake up and check the time.

Shit!

It's five o'clock. I can't even remember falling asleep. In my defence, I didn't get much sleep last night.

I have less than an hour to get ready. Before I head off to the shower I hear my phone buzzing on my side table. At first I chose to ignore it but my curiosity gets the best of me. My stomach flips when I see it's from him.

*Can't make it tonight. Something popped up. xH*

WHAT?

Hey guys! Hope you liked this chapter! Please don't hate me for ending it like that! Lol. What do you think will happen next?

And btw, I just wanted to know if I was the only one who saw that Harry pointed to someone during their song on SNL?
