Angel (H.S AU)

Chapter Twenty-One

I leave my apartment early in the morning, hoping to miss the paparazzi, but I have no such luck. They swarm me as I walk to my car, each shooting me questions about myself, my relationship and Harry. I am so nervous to go home and tell my parents I'm there for good. I am so nervous to be with Harry, because how do I know he won't hurt me again? I ignore the flashing camera's and get into my car driving off quickly.

I go to the clinic before going home, because I want to see Harry and make sure he's serious about all of this. I take a deep breath and walk inside. I walk over to the desk and say hi to Natalie, which I feel liek I've done a billion times. "Alexa! How are you? I saw the interview.." She gives me a sympathetic smile. "I'm okay. Is Harry here?" I try to take my mind off the fact of how many people would have seen that interview. "He's in his room.." I get the feeling she wants to tell me more but I don't push it. She gives me the code and I go to Harry's room.

Harry looks up from his couch and his face lightens up as soon as he sees me. "You actually came." He said, pulling me into a hug. "Of course I did." I laugh, and sit down on the couch, Harry's hand holding mine. I look around the room and notice that mostly everything is gone, the room looks empty. "Where's all your stuff?" He smiles, "I'm leaving today." I frown, "Where are you going?" He shrugs, "Home. Wherever I want to go." I hug him again, "That's so great, Harry!" He nods, "Yeah, but my parents won't let me live with them." He stands up and keeps packing things away.

"What do you mean?" I ask. "Well after I was in the hospital we had a huge fight, and I told them I was sick of the clinic and that being here was only making things worst, so we came up with an agreement. They sign the forms to let me leave, but once I'm out I have to find somewhere to live and they don't really want anything to do with me." He sighs, and clenches his fist. I can tell this is a touchy subject and he's obviously getting frustrated. "You're welcome to stay with me.. " I'm not sure if my parents would agree to the idea, but if they don't, I don't have any problem going back to my apartment and living there with Harry. 

"Really?" He asks, looking surprised. I nod, "If you can promise me that this is going to work out." He pulls down the sleeve of his shirt. "I obviously can't promise that, Alexa, but I am going to try." I walk over to him, hugging him from behind. I can sense him getting more frustrated by the minute, and I don't want to start a fight today."How's your arm?" I feel the muscles through his body tense up, and he doesn't answer me. I hold his arm, pulling up his sleeve to reveal a cut that was bandaged last time I saw him. It is now stitched up, but still looks incredibly painful. He pulls his arm away, "You don't have to worry about it." He snaps. I nod, "Okay. Do you need help with anything?" He shrugs, "Everything's done, let's get out of here."

I walk into the kitchen, Harry following close behind and say hello to my parents. They smile when they see me, but the smiles fade when they see Harry. Nevertheless they give me a hug and say hi to Harry after I give them an 'I'll explain it later' look. After catching up for a while, Harry and I go to my room and settle in. "Is it weird to be out?" I ask him. He shrugs, "I guess." he's being so quiet and I'm worried, but I leave it, not wanting to push his buttons. "I love you, Harry." I hold his hand in mine, hoping he knows that I really mean it. 

"I love you too." He pulls me closer to him and connects our lips. There is so much passion in his kiss, it's as if he's been waiting for me and now we can finally be together. His gently pulls my top over my head, running his hands over my bare stomach. "Harry, my parents." He frowns, "Please Alexa, I've waited so long." I shake my head, "I don't want to rush into this." He sighs, "Okay." 

I lean closer to Harry, and kiss his cheek, but am interupted by my phone ringing. Harry grabs it from the bedside table and looks at it. "Louis? Is this the guy you dated?" Shit. I grab the phone from him and answer it. After what I did the least I can do is answer a phone call from him.

"Hello?"

"Hey, how are you?" Something that amazes me about Louis is how kind he is. After what I did to him, the first thing he asks is how I am. 

"I'm fine. You?"

"I've been better. I just wanted to apologise for how things ended. You and Harry have a complex situation and I should've been more understanding. I knew what I was getting into when we started dating, I just thought that I'd helped you moved on, but clearly I hadn't."

"Please don't apologise, I'm the one who needs to be sorry, and I am. I never should've started something in the first place, I was just so lonely."

"I get that. It's fine, really. I just hope you're okay. How's Harry?" I turn around and look at Harry sitting on my bed with a frown on his face. He originally felt bad that he broke up the relationship, even though it wasn't his fault, but I get the feeling that he now doesn't like the idea of me talking to Louis. 

"He's good. He got out of the clinic today."

"That's good.. I have to go. Be careful, Alexa." What? What does he mean 'be careful'?

"Okay, bye." I decide not to ask him, because the last thing I need now is more stress. 

I walk back over to my bed and sit next to Harry. I'm honestly waiting for an explosion or something, but instead he sits there silently. I'm not sure if I'd prefer his silence or his screams. I look at him and he returns the look. "I don't want you talking to him." I sigh, "Come on, Harry.." He stands up, "This is the only thing I'm asking of you, Alexa." I nod, I'm going to have to get used to his anger. "Okay. I won't talk to him."
