Backstabbed (H.S)

Chapter 45

"Anne, that was delicious," I say, wiping my lips with a napkin.

Anne rolls her eyes, "Puerto Rican food is to die for," she laughs,"your mother's cooking is amazing."

"Not when you eat rice and chicken, every, single, day." I laugh.

Anne shakes her head, chuckling.

"Um, may I be excused? I need to use the bathroom?"

Anne gasps,"Oh! Sure, love! Harry, dear, show Mack where the restroom is."

Harry and I both stand from the table, making our way down a different hallway.

After passing 2 doors, Harry finally opens a door on our right, turning on the light for me.

"Thanks," I say, stepping into the bathroom, closing the door behind me.

I take a glance in the big, frameless mirror in front of me.

Furrowing my eyebrows, my eyes avert to door. The door hasn't close all the way and when I turn around to see why, Harry's foot was wedged in between the door.

I open the door quickly.

"You pervert!" I whisper yell.

"It's not like that!" Harry rolls his eyes, seeming bored.

I raise my eyebrows, waiting for an explanation.

"I was going to wait for you to notice so you would let me in so we could talk."

"And we couldn't talk in your room after I'm done peeing?" I squint my eyes at him.

"Somewhere where my parents couldn't put their ear up to the door and hear."

"There is a door right there," I point beside me.

"You are so difficult." he sighs, grabbing one of my wrist and rushing me out a door that leads to what I think is the back yard.

"I need to pee!" I say, sitting down cross crossed on the grass.

"It'll only take a few seconds to explain to me what you did to Mia." He whispers, sitting down next to me.

My head snaps up and I look at him in the eyes.

"Okay," I put my finger up,"this is the second time your accusing me of something Mia said."

I chill goes down my spine and I shiver, bitting my lip.

Harry stares at me, sighing,"I know you're lying."

I shake my head, praying in my head for Harry not to push it.

"Mack I can't take your side if you did something to Mia, also. It's not fair."

Rage goes through me.

"I never said I want you on my side. I never told you what I did to Mia and I don't have to tell you if-"

I stop talking. Harry's doesn't smile in victory, but he shifts.

I just admitted that I did something to Mack.

Harry sighs,"Do you want to know why I'm asking you?"

My head, hanging off my shoulders shakes no.

"Because I don't trust Mia anymore." He says, whispering,"whatever comes out of her mouth about you or anyone, really, is a lie unless that person admits it."

So Harry came to me because he didn't want to hear it from Mia? A small smile replaces the thin line on my lips.

"So," he folds his arms in front of him,"what did you do to poor ol' Mia?" He asks sarcastically.

I chuckle but quickly replace it with a sigh,"Now? On this lovely night with your parents?"

Harry rolls his eyes but nods, leading me back into the house with a smirk on his face.

We enter the kitchen, sitting at the table with Rob and Anne. Anne seems at bit jumpy, but I ignore it since Harry and his dad seemed to be ignoring it.

"Are you planning on going out of state for college?" Anne asks.

"I'm not sure," I pout, shrugging,"there are many amazing colleges here, I might stay."

Rob nods, opening his mouth to say something but is interrupted by Anne asking another question.

"What do you want to learn?"

"Journalism." I say, sternly.

Rob nods as in satisfaction, eyes wide.

"So!" Anne yells, clapping her hands together,"Harry, I have a bit of a surprise for you." Anne smiles, biting the inside of her cheek.

Harry furrows his eyebrows in curiosity.

"Mack, you might be surprised also," she nods,"you haven't met her yet."

Her? Does Harry already have a new girlfriend? My heart drops to my stomach as Anne goes to the front door opening and closing it.

Footsteps are heard and once the two extra pair of feet, Harrys eyes go wide next to me and he jumps out of his chair, embracing the orangey blonde haired girl in his arms.

"Gemma!" He yells.

LATE NIGHT UPDATE! HOPE Y'ALL ENJOY! GOODNIGHT, LOVES! Xx
