Chapter 17

Jason paced round the house, he turned the tv on and off several times, finding it hard to concentrate on anything. The night seemed to take forever to pass by. One by one the paparazzi left, it wasn't until lunch time the next day that Jason felt he was free to leave the house. He rushed round to Harry's and banged on the door, desperate to talk to her and try and sort everything out. There was no light on in the house, Jason waited for the door to open, but nothing. There was no sound from inside and seemingly no sign that Harry was inside. Until the door opened just an inch, "Harry?" Jason asked.

"What do you want?" Harry replied in a dull tone, but didn't open the door any wider.

"We need to talk."

"I don't think there's anything left to say."

Jason's fist banged on the door in frustration, "Harry please, can I just see you, I need to see if you're ok?"

"I'm ok," Harry's voice was shaky as if she had been crying.

"I can explain, just give me five minutes..." Jason waited he didn't want to walk away, he couldn't.

The door opened and Jason walked in, "I really don't think there's any point, everything became clear yesterday, I'm surprised you've not hopped on your private jet with your jumped up stick insect diva and flown back to your life of luxury." Harry took a deep breath she kept her back to him as they stood in the hallway, "You must have had a great laugh at my expense, what an utter fool you must all think I am, I look and am a right twat! What did you think, oh I'll just have a week of fun with this complete naïve fool?"

"It's not all been fun," Jason reminded her.

Harry's shoulder's fell in complete defeat, "No it's not, well you don't have to worry about me anymore, I survived before you came along and will do again."

"It doesn't have to end like this," Jason almost sounded pleading in his voice.

Harry turned to face him, she had been crying, her face was devoid of make-up and she looked utterly drained. "Just how did you think it would end? You'd wake up one morning and think ... oh I better tell her today that actually I am Hollywood movie star it's been fun see ya!"

"No ... I didn't and wouldn't do that, it just all got out of hand and it just never seemed the right time, don't know if you've forgotten but we haven't actually had the best start, since we first met there's been issues."

"Oh... so it's my fault is it?" Harry started to pace she was about to be completely irrational and childish but at that moment she really didn't care, "I didn't ask you to help me, or intervene or in fact even save me! I would have been just fine!"

"Yeah sure you would have, you've been knocked about, your friend is in the hospital and then there's the small thing of you being kidnapped, I suppose you would have got yourself out of that too?" Jason was pacing now too, each of their voices were rising.

"I would have figured something out, this isn't a movie you know, my life isn't a movie, I am not some stupid weak damsel in distress, waiting for a hero! I don't need you, I don't need anyone, I've managed just fine up until now."

"Yeah I can see how that has all worked out for you!"

"Why don't you just go back to your sugar coated life and forget all about me and all this..." Harry waved her arms about before standing still and placing her hands on her hips "and then you'll have nothing to worry about then will you. Just leave!"

"You're being completely irrational, why can't you just be calm and we can sit and talk, I don't want to leave."

"I'm being irrational," Harry's voice reached a pitch even she didn't know she was capable of, "well excuse me... I think I have the right to be, you've been lying to me the whole time, here I was thinking you're some struggling look alike actor, and to think I even gave you tips on how to be a better a Jason Statham! And I even introduced you to my friends at work, bet they're all laughing at me now!"
