“Skye,” I heard my name being called as I slowly woke up. I felt someone stroking my hair and my eyes started to flutter open to see Harry sitting on the side of the bed. I attempted a small smile only to see him frown more.

“You’ve been crying,” He said to me examining my probably red and puffy eyes. “I’m sorry if I upset you.” He said pulling me up to him in a hug. I couldn’t help it, the moment I felt his warm arms around me I broke down and sobbed holding onto his shirt. I think he knew that I was crying over a lot more than our fight but instead of pressuring me he just continued to rub my back soothingly and whispered comforting words. I eventually pulled back and wiped my eyes on my jumper. I looked up at Harry to see him sitting there watching me patiently with worry.

“I saw twitter,” My voice cracked as fresh tears started to fall again. Harry’s face instantly hardened as he pulled me into another tight hug. He climbed onto the bed properly so he could lie down next to me as I continued to sob into his chest soaking his shirt in the process.

“I’m going to make this okay,” he kept whispering into my ear as I slowly fell back asleep.

I woke up to find Harry gone and it was dark outside. I headed downstairs and found Danielle and Eleanor on the couch watching a movie. They both instantly looked at me and I smiled weakly at them. They made room for me so I could sit with them.

“Where’s Harry?” I asked them as they glanced at each other.

“He had to go meet with their management and it’s a long drive from here so he won’t be back until tomorrow.”

“Oh,” I said surprised. Harry hadn’t mentioned anything about needing to go back to London for a meeting. I couldn’t help but feel a bit sad that he left me now but I quickly brushed that feeling away, I was just being selfish. After the movie finished I headed back up to Harry’s room and just laid there for a bit. I had slept most of the day so I was extremely surprised when I felt myself starting to fall asleep again.
From: Harry <3
Sorry for leaving, miss sleeping with you already! Everything will be okay when I come back.

I smiled at the text before closing my eyes and snuggling up to Harry’s pillow breathing in his scent.

I woke up early the next morning and I decided I would go down and make breakfast for everyone. Halfway through Anne appeared in the kitchen.

“You didn’t have to do this sweetheart.” Anne said coming in and staring at all the food I had already made.

“I wanted to, to thank you for letting me stay here,” I said smiling at her.

“Oh it was my pleasure. And if you ask me those fans don’t know what they’re talking about,” she added coming over and giving me a hug. I smiled and hugged her back tightly. I assumed Harry must have told her everything.

By the time everyone was up and eating I had gotten a text from Harry saying he would be here in an hour. I took the time to go for a shower and cleaned his room slightly. Both of our clothes had been strewn around the room. I couldn’t believe that tomorrow I would have been here two weeks already.

“Hey,” I heard someone say from the door, I whipped around to see an extremely tired Harry standing there. I rushed forward and pulled him into a hug.
“You look exhausted,” I said to him pulling him over to the bed.

“I talked to management.” He said to me as he sat down on the edge of the bed.

“We can talk about this later. You should sleep now.” I said to him trying to get him to lie down but he just pushed me back.

“They have an idea about how we can get them to stop.” Harry said eyeing me warily. “And I agree with it.” He said the last part without looking at me.
“That’s great then, they can move on and so can we,” I said happily. I was relieved that everything was about to be sorted out.

“It won’t be that easy,” He said standing up and looking down at me. “We would need to do some things, be cautious about things.”

“Sure, we’ll keep the PDA down to a minimum. It’ll be easy for me. You not so much.” I said winking at him joking. However he didn’t laugh.

“We won’t be able to show any PDA Skye.”

“Oh,” I said not sure what to say to this.

“Management and I...” He trailed off looking at me directly. I was starting to worry I could tell the way he was watching me he was waiting for a reaction. A bad reaction. “We agree that we should keep this relationship a secret.”

I didn’t move, I don’t think I could. I didn’t even blink I just stared at him not really realising what he was saying.

“They’re going to release a statement saying that you were just a fling and will be heading back to Australia. After that we will have to keep any meetings or talking secret without anybody knowing. You’re friends can’t know, Casey and Paige can’t know...” He trailed off his expression slightly pained. He stepped forward and reached his hands out towards me.

I stepped back out of his reach. I felt like I had been slapped, except this was worse than the pain I received from Tyler’s slap. I could feel it across my chest as the pain started to build. He wanted to hide me, he was ashamed of me. This was a mistake; all of this was a mistake. He used me.

“Skye...” I snapped my head up and looked him in the eyes, those green eyes that I no longer found beautiful. They were green eyes that knew how to lure foolish girls like me in until he had his fill. He had taken everything from me and now he was done. I would go back to Australia under the pretence that we would continue talking. But we wouldn’t, I knew how this went. He didn’t want me, he never did.

I felt the tears but before they could fall, my rising anger stopped them. I would not give him the satisfaction of seeing me cry. I brushed past him quickly and started throwing things into the suitcase. He grabbed my arm stopping me from throwing a shirt in.

“Do not touch me!” I hissed not looking up at him. He instantly let me go.

“I’m trying to protect you.” I could hear the anger slightly in his voice. He was obviously pissed that I wasn’t going along with this.

“Was that what I was to you? A fling? You didn’t get anything from me in Australia so you thought if you brought me here to your parent’s house I would give in? Well looks like you got what you wanted Harry. Congratulations!” I said sarcastically before zipping up both my suitcases.

“Do you really think I’m like that? After everything!” He screamed at me pulling the suitcase out of my hands.

“Yes, yes I do! Because you’re Harry fucking Styles and all you care about is which girl you can fuck tonight. But I guess fucking me got old huh? So you ran to your management so they can dispose of me easily!” I screamed back at him grabbing my stuff from his stunned hands. I started to pull them down the hallway and towards the stairs.

“Stop walking away from me!”

“What are you going to do Harry! Huh?” I screamed without looking at him as I pulled them down the stairs.

“What’s going on?” Liam asked.

“Why don’t you ask your band mate.” I said turning around to look at Harry coming down the stairs. “Why don’t we all ask Harry how he just used me as a fuck buddy! But now that he’s over me he’s sending me home.”

“I am not sending you home. You are the one who’s leaving.” He said gesturing at the bags. “You’re the one who won’t talk about this.”

“Oh I am so sorry for not wanting to discuss how exactly our secret relationship would work. Please tell me Harry do we both continue to tell the world that were single and you go out and sleep with a different girl every night to keep up the pretence! But let’s not forget I’m the one you love though right, sleeping with those girls is to just keep up your single image!”

“If that’s what you think about me I don’t know why I even bothered with you!” He screamed at me.

“Have a nice life Harry!” I screamed back before opening the front door.

“Skye...” I glanced over at Danielle before slamming the door shut behind me and making my way down the street with both my suitcases.
