Love Lies Bleeding
Chapter Eleven
*emma's POV*
It's been one week and I haven't spoken to Harry or Nathan.
Taylor is okay now, she's a lot better.
Marcus has gone to America, he comes back in two days.
Our friendship with the boys is going downhill, we don't see them nearly as often and I hardly see Eleanor either.
I hear the doorbell ring and I get up to answer it.
It was Nathan.
"Hi." I said.
"Look, Emma, I wanna know if we're still together," he said, "I really like you and I'm really sorry!"
I sighed.
"I don't know Nathan, I need some time." I said.
"You've had a week, baby please." He pleaded.
I stayed silent.
"Look, in two days time, if you want to continue this relationship, meet me in the park. And if you don't, then don't show up." He said and walked away.
I don't know.
I sighed and walked into the house.
I'll think about it.
*the next day*
I can't take it anymore, I have to talk to Harry.
I drove to his house and walked up to the front door, ringing the doorbell.
He opened it and just looked at me.
"Oh. Hey Emma." He said, "come in." So I walked into his house.
"Look Harry, you have to tell me how this happened, it's driving me insane." I said, sitting on his sofa.
"Well, I realised I loved you when we were getting Starbucks, that's why I protected you." Harry said.
"Oh." I said. "Do you, do you, um, still feel that way?" He just nodded and I sighed.
"You know what's funny, I used to have a crush on you before I met Nathan, and know, you're saying you love me, it's just..." I sighed again.
"Emma, please." He said looking into my eyes.
"Harry, I can't do that to Taylor." I said.
"I asked her if she was okay with it," he said, "she said the only problem was she doesn't want me to hurt you."
"Harry I can't..." I trailed off.
"Emma, I love you. You're beautiful, smart, funny and totally amazing, and I know you have feelings for me." He said, sighing. "Just tell me to stop." He slowly brought his face towards mine and lightly brushed his lips against mine.
I stayed completely still, not sure to tell him to stop or not.
He moved closer and continued to brush his lips lightly against mine, trying to get me to respond.
I slowly closed my eyes and began to kiss him back, snaking my arms around his neck.
No Emma, this is wrong!
My mind screamed at me.
But why did it feel so right?
Harry moved his body closer to mine, placing his hands on my waist. He slightly deepened the kiss, I just followed his lead.
No Emma, you can't do this to Taylor, she's your best friend.
I wanted to stop, but I couldn't bring myself to.
Everything I used to feel for him came rushing back and suddenly I deepened the kiss even more, straddling his lap.
He licked my bottom lip, asking for entrance and I granted him it gladly.
Emma, you are officially the worst friend ever!!!
I could practically hear Taylor screaming at me, but I didn't care. All I cared about was the fact that I was kissing Harry.
Suddenly I broke the kiss.
"NOOOO!!!!!" I screamed, jumping away from him, I was finally back with my senses.
"Don't deny it Emma, you were kissing me back! You could have easily told me to stop and I would have." Harry said.
"Yes Harry, but I can't do this to Taylor. I have to go." I said and walked out the door.
What have I done?
