His Bed // H.S.

3.

Waking up to the smell of breakfast in the morning is the best. But not when you hear mild yelling. I groan and get out of bed and walk down the hall.

Entering the living room i see Zayn, Dylan...and Harry.

"What the hell are you doing here?!" I yell. All the attention turns to me now. They all look like deers caught in the head lights of a car.

"Someone explain to me why the fuck he is standing in my living room." I'm fuming with anger right now.

"Ari...calm down." Harry walks towards me, holding his hands up in surrender. I take a step back "If you take on more step closer i'll kick your ass myself."

Dylan looks terrified right now, like he knew deep down that i would have had a problem with Harry being here, but Zayn must have convinced him that i would be fine.

Zayn takes a step forward also holding out his hands in surrender, "Look i didn't think you'd wake up this early so i-" I cut him off, " You what? thought that i'd never found out about you inviting Harry over with out my consent?" I cross my arms over my chest looking at all three of them. I'm disgusting and hurt. Disgusted over the fact Harry is here, and hurt over the fact Zayn went behind my back knowing i didn't want to see harry ever again.

"Aria, you know that Harry was the best on your case, i had to inform him about yesterday." Zayn admits.

"Okay, but that didn't give you the right to invite him over to my house, and go behind my back Zayn!" I raise my voice. I'm gonna start breaking out with hives if i don't calm down.

"So what? you were just gonna go about your life not telling me?" Harry's voice chimes in, I look over him in pure disgust and roll my eyes "Don't talk to me about not telling you things." I walk out of the living room and into the kitchen getting a glass of water to calm my nerves.

I gulp down the water and put the cup in the sink, a shadow of someone is standing next to me and i look over and see it's Dylan.

I huff "what do you want Dyl?" I turn around so my back is against the sink.

"Look don't be mad, i knew that you would be pissed over Harry being here. But Zayn insisted on him knowing and him coming over." He tells me. I look him up and down questioning his statement.

"I know Harry was the best one on my case, but he hurt me and i can't forgive him right now." Harry betrayed me in the most hurtful way possible. I trusted him, and he broke that trust.

I sigh and look up at him, "look...you know what he did to me, we all know, if you both truly think that having harry back on the case will help in some way...then i guess it's okay. But do not expect me to be all lovey towards him, i will not speak to him." I stand my ground on this one.

"Fine, deal." He puts his hand out for me to shake, setting in the offer. I shake it and he leaves the kitchen. I run my hands through my hair, and walk over to the fridge, and pull out the bottle of wine that was already open..just calling my name. I take the cork out and bring the bottle to my lips and take a long, very needed drink.

I put it back in the refrigerator and walk out of the kitchen. I walk into the living room and sit on the couch, i look at all three of them, my eyes going back and forth between all three of the men in front of me discussing what they should do.

The air in the room is starting to get thick, like my throat is closing. My body feels like it's vibrating, but yet numb at the same time. I shift in my seat, i rest my elbows on my knees and put my head in between my legs. My hearing is muffled.

I haven't had this feeling in a while. This can't happen right now. In a flash i shoot up out of my seat and walk over to the door and grab my keys, i was going to grab my car keys but i know i can't drive in this state.

I grab the handle and pull the door open but before i could even get out of the apartment, the door was slammed shut. I look over and see it was Harry "Where the hell do you think you're going?" He seems worried for my well being but why would he care now? he didn't care before.

"Leaving. I need air." That's all i say before i grab the handle again but he stops me once again.

"Harry...please." I look up at him hoping for this one time he lets me go. His eyes look back and forth between my own. His face falls in defeat and he moves his hand off the door allowing me to go. He moves out of the way and i grab the handle once again, but this time i got out into the hall. I walk down the hall and out of the building, the first thing i'm greeted with is the wind. It's switching to autumn now, so it's a little chilly but bearable.

As i'm walking I think to myself why Harry is acting like he cares now , but didn't before.

I can't think about that right now though, i have so much going on it caused me a panic attack. Usually i have warning like if i have a hot flash or just start profusely sweating. This one was a surprise, and not a good one.

I can't understand why Zayn would go behind my back and tell Harry, then proceed to invite him over. Out of respect he could have gone somewhere else, he didn't need to bring him over. I am not ready to talk or even be civil with Harry.

I've been walking for an hour or so now...still pondering over what i should do, as much as i hate Harry i know deep down that he could give me the protection i need; but i won't let him know that. It would feed his ego.

I need to get home.

I huff and try to clear my mind so i can focus on getting home, i don't even know how i let myself walk so far. There are people surrounding me, with their kids or pets. I seen a happy family a few blocks back, it was a married couple, two men, and they had a little girl maybe 3 and they had a stroller. I smiled to myself getting this warm feeling of comfort, but then it hit me, that i don't have that anymore.

Sometimes bad things happen to people, and you go through the pain, but there is always light at the end of the tunnel if you fight for it. So i take a deep breath and continued to walk home. I wasn't going to allow myself to feel bad for something i didn't have control over.

I walk into the building and then walk into the house, and i see everyone is gone...a sadness kind of takes over, i was hoping that they would be worried about me or something, i was out for a walk for hours.

I keep walking until i get to my bedroom and i flop onto the bed and close my eyes.

I was so exhausted.
