Harvey, Caleb and I are at Caleb's place going through the plan once again. More like, the both of them going through the plan thinking I'm listening while I zone out.
Caleb somehow convinced me to come here when they do this and I wish I didn't agree.
The tension inside of this room is astronomical.
"Yeah now, if all things go according to the plan it'll be a win-win." Harvey finishes.
"Agreed! Unless you already have some other side plans with Derrina." Caleb taunts Harvey again.
I can see hurt flash through his eyes before it turns to 'pissed off' look.
"Listen Caleb..." Harvey starts angrily but trying to keep as calm as he could.
"Guys, guys." I get their attention.
This is what I've been doing the entire time, making sure they don't start fighting.
"Anyways, our first priority will be the tape and then everything else?!!" Caleb says.
"Yes, of course." Harvey agrees.
"Unless..." Caleb starts to taunt him again.
"Oh my Caleb, stop!" I say and he immediately shuts up.
"Whatever, I'll make something for us to eat." Caleb says and quickly disappears into the kitchen.
Oh god! I'm going to kill Caleb. He called me here and now left me here with Harvey.
The time is passing the slowest it possibly could, every second feels like years. I can feel Harvey staring at me and noticing my every moment.
I think I should leave the uncomfortable atmosphere in the living room. I could help Caleb with whatever he's doing, I know I'll not actually be much of a help but anything to get out of here.
"Yeah, I think I'm gonna go help Caleb with the food." I say and quickly get up to exit the living room but Harvey gets up and immediately blocks my way.
"Or," he drags the word as if thinking of a plan on the spot "you could stay here and we could choose a movie to watch and talk while we're doing so?"
"Besides, I don't think Caleb needs any help." He adds before I could respond.
"How would you know?" I mutter under my breath before agreeing with him.
The remote was kept on the couch which Harvey was sitting on earlier. We ended up falling when the both of us turned to get it at the same time.
Harvey turns me a little so I don't directly fall on the floor. Infact, he turns us in a way that I fall mostly on him and don't get hurt.
I look at him as he did the same. The sun shining in his beautiful green eyes, also highlighting his other features.
"This wasn't part of my plan! Falling for you." He says softly looking in my eyes.
'That's a first.' I wanted to say but I don't know if he actually means what I think he does or if he's simply joking because...
"Hey, Cl-Clare, it was a joke. A stupid joke cause you know 'we fell'." He says probably after noticing my hesitation.
"Yeah, no I know. I get it, it's funny." I say.
We hear someone clearing their throat. We look up to find Caleb looking at us. We quickly get up.
"I'd rather you not do all that on the carpet of my living room." He says trying to hide the bit of hurt that I saw in his eyes.
"We just tripped by mistake." , " We were just getting the remote." Both of us start speaking at the same time.
"Yeah, yeah. Okay!" Caleb stops us.
"So do you want Doritos along with the..." Caleb gets cut off by Harvey.
"Come on, Caleb. You already know that."
"I doubt I know anything." Caleb taunts for the umpteenth time.
"Hey! If you have something to say to me then say it." Harvey says irritated.
"Like you care what anybody else has to say anyway." Oh lord Caleb!
"Caleb, stop." I say but my voice goes ignored.
"Oh really? Let me..." Harvey says.
"It's not always about you, Harvey. You need to stop being selfish all the damn time." Caleb cuts him off, pretty angrily.
"Oh I'm selfish..." Harvey starts again but gets cut off.
"Yeah, you fucking dragged Jake and me into your mess and now he's suffering, all because of you. You had to help Derrina, you owed her, not us!" Caleb shouts.
"I didn't wanna hurt you or..."
"But you did. You hurt me and I could make you a list organised by date or location, whatever you'd like for the other people you hurt too." Caleb continued shouting and I could see Harvey's pained expression.
"I know and I'm sorry but you..." Harvey is literally just pushing Caleb.
"Sorry? That's supposed to make it okay?" He said. I have never seen Caleb this angry.
This fight is just like the one I eavesdropped upstairs. Harvey saying half sentences and Caleb shouting at him about all the wrong he's done.
"Then I'm sorry that I kissed Clary last night. That's okay?" Caleb said.
What? What is he talking about? That never happened.
"Come on, Caleb! Seriously?" I said and once again I was ignored.
"You did what?" Harvey was really angry right now.
One second he was standing near me and next, he was holding Caleb by his collar. Oh no!
"It's not true, Harvey. He's lying." I say but the boys are too preoccupied to hear me.
"Yeah, that's what I expected." Caleb said.
Harvey was the first one to hit Caleb right across his jaw. Caleb didn't wait a second before he hit back.
Soon, they were just throwing punches at each other. They were on the floor still fighting.
I could see Harvey holding himself back as Caleb hit him. But I don't care why he's doing that right now.
