Chapter 22

Harry's pov

"How many times do I have to fucking say it! I didn't touch her! Anything that went on between us was consensual. If anybody was taken advantage of it was me"

The officer crossed his arms not believing anything I was saying. In under 24 hours I had hit rock bottom. At least I hoped this was rock bottom. If it was going to get worse than this I didn't know how much more I could take.

"You could lose your visa. In fact I hope you do. Your family would be better off without you"

"I'm not talking anymore until I have a lawyer present, this is bullshit"

I called Niall for my one phone call and he refused to bail me out. Lo was furious after learning that Niall knew what was going on between Payton and I. He said he would try, but he didn't want to upset her further especially since she was pregnant. I couldn't blame him and I was instantly back to square one trying to clean up a mess that Payton had created.

"Dave? He's made bail"

"What?"

The guy that had been grilling me stepped out of the room and I anxiously waited for them to come back and release me. Niall must of come through and I couldn't wait to be out of this room. I had been here almost 12 hours. It was cold and dimly lit just like every cop show I had seen as a kid. Too much longer and I would be flipping tables and going insane.

"You're free to go" the cop announced from the door.

I jumped up eager to be away from him and the rest of the idiots working for the NYPD. He grabbed my arm as I stepped out of the room though.

"We're not done. Don't leave the city"

I shrugged away from him and walked to the entrance. I didn't see Niall, but instead Gemma.

"You bailed me out?"

"Niall called me" she gave me a sympathetic look that made me nauseous.

"I'm not a dying puppy. Don't fucking look at me like that. Besides this is your fault"

"Sign here and talk to your girlfriend somewhere else"

"Does she really look like she could be my girlfriend?" I stared at the dumbass behind the counter.

"He's my brother" she informed him.

"I don't care who you are to each other. Sign here and leave"

I scribbled my name on the paper and pushed the clipboard off the counter.

"Bastards" I stormed out of the police department. The sun was already coming up and I looked down the busy street trying to decide how I would get home. The subway entrance was nearby and I patted my pocket for my wallet.

Nothing.

"Harry I know you're upset but I was only trying to help"

"Help?" I turned ready to laugh in her face.

"How is working with her helping me? You told her the plan before I could get what I needed and she turned it around on me! Now I've lost everything. Do you realize if this assault charge goes through I may end up on a plane back to England! That is if I don't end up in fucking prison!"

"What are you talking about? I'm not working with anyone, but you"

"You told Payton our plan. You set me up Gemma. She knew what I was trying to do and she made sure Charlie walked in to see it all go down! Stay the hell away from me! I hate you. Dad left you because you are the fucking spawn of satan. Wherever you go destruction follows. I've let you destroy everything important to me and I'm done. Don't call me. Don't help me. Just fucking disappear or die. I don't know which would make me happier at this point!"
