Escape His World (H.S 1D)

Chapter 16: Broken Promises Lead to Broken People

Angela's POV

I slowly opened my eyes, not sure if what I was seeing was real. I was curled up against a warm chest and I could NOT be more comfortable.

"You awake, love?" A deep, raspy voice asked.

"Depends. Is this a dream? If it is then no, I am not awake." I heard a chuckle and felt Harry's arm wrap tightly around my small waist.

"Angie....can we stay here all day?" I giggled. Turning to face him, I entangled my hands in his feathery hair, tugging softly.

"Mmmmmmmm" Harry sighed sleepily.

"I've gotta meet Louis in like, an hour. So I've gotta get up sleepy head." I kissed him lightly on the cheek and left the warmth of the bed. I could'nt help but notice how Harry's eyes hardened. THey had lost the softness.

"Hey, Harry, what is it?" I lifted his head lightly so he was looking at me but he pulled away quickly. I couldnt help but feel really hurt.

"Go Angela. You've gotta meet Louis." He spat out Louis' name like it was a disease. I wasn't one of those stupid naive girls. I knew what was going on here. Harry was jealous. We both knew it. He just did not want to accept it.

"Harry, I love you. Stop questioning that."

"No Angela. Why do you have the right to stomp around and be pissed off at me when I talk to other girls, and I can't be upset when you want to go off with another guy! Your ex, to make it worse!" Harry was raising his voice with me and I hated it. I can't believe he didn't trust me.

"I cannot believe you don't trust me. The difference between these two situations Harry, was that I did trust you. You just did something that ruined it and shredded it. I have not done ANYTHING to make you lose your trust in me. And by the way Harry, Louis is GAY. Thats why we broke up idiot!" I yelled. Storming out of the room. Harry just looked shocked. The anger and hostility in his face drained to that of pure guilt.

"I swore to Louis that I wouldn't tell, Harry. Well, since you didn't trust me. Now I've broken my promise. I'm leaving now ok?" By now I had thrown on a pair of dark skinny jeans with a ruffled pink shirt, pulling my hair in a messy bun.

"Angela! Angela!" Harry raced after me. "Your not leeaving me are you? Please don't leave me. I sleep better and am a better person when your with me. No matter what please don't leave me" His voice made my heart break. But I forced myself to be blunt. It was funny that I was was living here so he could protect me, but really, I was helping him. Or so he made it seem.

"We'll talk when I get back ok? I'm not leaving." Harry grabbed my hand and kissed it. Holding it up to his cheek so my hand was carressing his face. His face was filled with relief. But there was still something in his eyes. Guilt?

"Promise?Promise when you come back you won't leave?" He seemed so vulnerable and scared. I sighed and rolled my eyes.

"Promise, Harry" I gave him a kiss. He pulled me close to him when I started pulling away. "Promise" I repeated, still kissing him. I eventually pulled away and shook my head. A victorious grin on Harry's face replaced his earlier grimace. I hopped into Harry's car, since mine was still parked at my apartment and drove away. I was worried about him. I didn't like Harry being alone in that mansion. My dad could hurt him easier without me there. But at the same time, every single time I got a message from my dad, it was in the late evening. I pulled up to Starbucks and saw Louis, hands deep in his pockets. His lips were swollen and cut up, his eyes were rimmed with black and blue.

Harry's POV

I tugged at my hair in frustration as Angela pulled my car out of the lot. She was going to be so angry with me when she finds out what I had done! And Louis! Louis! Louis....Gay! I mean, yeah he sometimes did things that were a bit.....sweet.....but I thought that was part of his twisted, yet hilarious humor.
