Touch Me, Don't Love Me // styles

"Harry just texted me, he's waiting outside." I said to Travis while he was busy deciding which textbook he should bring home from his locker.

I packed my things last night. It's only a two-days stay but I was nervous. A lot of things can happen in two days. Will we make up? Or will we finally talk it out and settle with admitting that we won't work in the future so better break it up earlier.

Harry should already have all my stuff in his car. That was the plan, that he'd swing by the house and get my things from mom who is having a day-off. I told her to relax herself while on her own and go treat herself in a spa or something. She needs it.

"Cool. Goodluck." Travis deadpanned. He quickly turned to me sideways and flashed me an obviously forced smile. I know whenever his smiles are fake or genuine by the way his dimples indented his face. They're like the indicator of his kinds of smiles. I never noticed with Harry, maybe I should check. But Harry's dimples, I've almost forgotten. When was the last time I saw him smile? I couldn't remember. I tried to picture him smiling, but it took a lot of effort. I just realised that Harry is a person who doesn't jump at the train of happiness whenever it goes by him, he seldom does that. He seldom lets himself be happy. He's gotten used to torturing himself instead.

"Travis... come on. Walk me there." I tilted my head slightly to the side and gave him a weak smile. I just want him to be there when I face Harry. Not to piss him off, but yes... maybe to piss him off, to show him that there are other people who make me happy other than him.

He sighed and closed his locker shut, turning the combination. "Alright Lil. But if he beat my ass..."

"He wouldn't. I'd stop him."

"Right you will." He chuckled and I rolled my eyes as we walked outside. I spotted Harry's car as soon as we stepped out of the building. "There he is." Travis muttered.

We approached his car and when we were almost there, Harry rolled the window down from the passenger side. He looked in our direction. I couldn't see his expression for he was wearing sunglasses. But by the way his eyebrows were creased, it probably wasn't a good expression.

I stopped infront of the car and said nothing. Travis was staring at the ground, but I saw him inhaled and large amount of air and straightened up. He finally mustered the courage to look Harry in the eyes, squinting.

"Harry." He awknowledged with a nod. "I hope you didn't mind me walking your sister over."

"Oh not at all, since she couldn't manage to walk this long distance on her own..." He shrugged. "Why not walk her over right?" He was making an awfully big deal out of this. "Could you maybe open the door for her too?" His sarcastic tone was so evident, accompanied with a side smirk.

Travis obliged and opened the passenger door. I looked at him in apology for the was Harry takled to him. He nodded and offered a no-problem smile. "See you Monday." And as if the whole walking-me-over wasn't enough to prove something, an issue that iwas nit clear to me, to Harry, I leaned in and tiptoed to give Travis a small pech on the cheek. He slightly turned his face towards me which made it awkwards and embarrassing for I almost kissed him on the cheek. He obviously blushed and stared at me in awe.

"Lily get in." Harry said roughly, but looking straight ahead and not at us.

"Bye." I finally hopped into the car and as soon as the door was shut, Harry sped towards the main road.

Nobody spoke till we reach the opening of our town. Harry was the one to break the silence, he pulled his sunglasses and rested them on the space between us. "You dating him now?"

I didn't answer cause I know he was just looking for something to fight about, to scream at me about. "Is Maxine home?" I said absent-mindedly, twirling my hair on my finger while leaning my head on the window, eyes half closed in sleepiness.

"You wanna play this game?" It was surprising that he was calm. But also, he was confusing. One night he's crying, begging for me to forgive him, then next he's acting like this... full of pride and turning things around.

"You mean the game you started?" I spat. He sighed and continued driving in silence. "What's your game plan? Your strategy? Why are you dragging me all the way here?" I rambled, starting to welcome the heaviness of my eyes.

"Because you're my girlfriend. And I want to spend time with you." He stated in a monotone. His answer to my last question shocked me and jolted me awake.

"Excuse me, I am not your girlfriend anymore." I chuckled, rolling my eyes.

"Yes you are. Don't fight me anymore."

"No Harry! Stop it! Don't act like nothing happened!" I screamed at him. I was already frustrated. He stepped on the gas and kept his eyes on the road.

"Aren't we fair already? I'm already frustrated enough as it is." He ran his hands through his tangled curls and tightened them on the steering wheel.

"Oh you're frustrated?"

"I give you an A for your effort. Oh, make it an A+ for that added kiss on Travis. Why didn't you do it on the lips huh? Would've made it more believable. But don't worry baby, I forgive you for trying to make me jealous. You succeeded actually, I wanted to snap his neck the moment I saw him."

"Why the fuck are you making this my issue? It's you Harry! You were fooling around with some girl starting the day you moved away and J was at home waiting for you to call or text when you left me." My arms were motioning everywhere. I wanted to open the door and jimp out even if that means death. I am just so tired of fighting with Harry.

"I broke up with you before I left Lily, so technically, I didn't cheat." There was a sudden change in his demeanor. He was calm again, almost perfectly composed, but I could tell he was already so tired too.

"Nothing was clear when you left..." I went back to leaning against the window.

"You're fault for not understanding." I didn't retaliate this time. I just let my tears roll silently. I couldn't wait to sleep when we get there.
