A Lost Object [h.s]

Chapter 57

Aurora

Harry closed and locked the door once Odyssey left. It made me a bit queasy. He kicked off his shoes before sitting down next to me on the bed. He was in thought for quit some time, not speaking a word.

"What did you want to talk about?" I asked him.

"What?" He asked in confusion. I myself gave him a look of confusion.

"You said you wanted to talk. What about?"

"Oh. I forgot."

I was more confused than I was before. "You forgot?"

He was once again silent, staring at the wall with furrowed brows. Suddenly his neck snapped in my direction, "What did she say to you?"

"Odyssey?"

He nodded "Nothing, why?"

"What were you talking about with her before I came in?" Harry was anxious to get an answer out of me. I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction. He seemed worried and threatened. I wanted to know why. 

"Nothing important. Why?"

"Okay" He mumbles averting his attention back to the wall.

"Is there something she knows you don't want me to know about?"

I watched as Harry licked his lips anxiously, his eyes scanned the room before meeting mine, "Like what?"

"I don't know that is why I'm asking you." He didn't respond to me anymore. Instead he leaned back against the headboard, closed his eyes and let out a deep breath. What was he on about?

The dinging and buzzing of his phone made him jump in surprise. I watched as he pulled the phone out of his pocket, reading the messages again with furrowed eyebrows before getting up.

"I have to go."

"Where?"

"To meet up with some friends."

"I would like to meet your friends. If th-"

Harry shouted suddenly cutting my sentence short, "No" I was taken aback.

"You don't want me to meet your friends?"

Harry stood up straight to look at me once he had put on his shoes. "Why does it matter? I've never met any of your friends except the one."

"I would love for you to meet my friends. There just hasn't been a right time."

"I have to go. Don't believe anything your best friend tells you." and with that he was gone. Odyssey came back into the room with a look of worry. Why was he acting such a way? What could he have possibly said to Odyssey that he didn't want me to know about? Is it really that bad that even Odyssey won't say.

"Where'd he run off to?"

"To meet up with friends. So he says."

"Lets follow him."

I shook my head no, "I don't think that's a good idea Odyssey." What Harry did with his time was his business. If he wanted me to know where he was going and who he was meeting up with he would've told me. Obviously that wasn't the case.

"Come on Aurora, lets go before he gets far. He's hiding something. Don't you want to find out what?" I did, but not this way. Odyssey was already out the door and down the stairs before I even had the chance to object. Sighing in frustration and worry I stood up from the bed, running down the stairs in hopes to stop her. She stood by the front door, watching Harry who still happened to be parked in the driveway. He looked to be shouting into his phone. Harry smashed his hands against the wheel before speeding off.

"Let's go." Odyssey rushed to her car, not wasting any time in starting it up and speeding off into the direction Harry went. I had a bad feeling about this. What good could possibly come out of this? I didn't want to know where he was going. I didn't want to see the outcome.

"Odyssey, we should go back." She had caught up to Harry, she was trailing behind him, trying not to get noticed while also trying not to lose him.

"Calm down Aurora, it'll be fine." It was anything but. Did I really want to invade his privacy. I wasn't one to do such a thing. This feeling wasn't sitting right with me.

After a whole hour of driving, Harry pulled up to the side of a bar. Odyssey parked a few cars behind, waiting for him to get out of the car and once he had, Odyssey wasn't letting him get away. I stayed sitting in the car not having the strength to bring myself to follow them. Odyssey turned back around waving me to get out of the car. Sighing once again, I got out the car, trailing behind Odyssey who was trailing behind Harry, who had currently went inside the bar.

Inside the busy bar Harry stood in a corner, getting busy on his phone. Twenty minutes had passed with nothing happening. Harry did what he was doing in the corner, Odyssey watched him to make sure he didn't get away and me, I was feeling nauseous. I watched as Harry harshly shoved his phone in his pocket. He walked away from the corner, taking a seat on a stool instead. Unexpectedly Zayn walked up to Harry taking a seat next to him. It had caught Odyssey's attention, but that wasn't what caught my attention. The same girl from the diner walked up to Harry, taking a seat next to him as well.

"What's he doing here?" Odyssey mumbled to herself.

Zayn and Harry exchanged a few words, before he got up and left. Harry had now averted his attention to the jet black haired female. She brought up her hands to his face before wrapping them around his neck. She spoke inaudible words, scooting herself closer to him. Harry took his phone out from his pocket, swiping up and down before facing the screen to her.

I could feel Odyssey's eyes on me. Her attention was no longer on the couple. I avoided eye contact with her as I continued to watch Harry. He was laughing. They were laughing. She rubbed her thumb against his lips before leaning in to kiss him. I stood up from the chair abruptly, leaving the bar.

Odyssey was running after me, calling out my name. I got in the car, waiting for her to get in as well. Nothing but silence as we drove back home. Odyssey was hesitant to speak. I can tell.

I took off my seatbelt getting ready to leave once Odyssey pulled up in-front of the house, "I'm sorry Aurora."

"What for? It's just an arranged marriage remember? I'll see you later."
