Through The Dark

I threw my suitcase onto one of the beds in Niall's room since he had also been given a room with two beds like Harry. I opened up my suitcase in search of a pair of PJs that I could wear tonight.

I saw Niall walk over and sit on the edge of my bed. I glanced over and smiled at him.

"So why did you leave your room? Aren't you supposed to be staying with Harry?" he asked in his gorgeous Irish accent. My eyes shifted around the room uncomfortably.

"Yeah, well I didn't know that Kendall Jenner would be joining our sleepover as well," I said sarcastically as I shifted through the clothes in my suitcase," or that her and Harry were so...friendly towards each other," I finished.

Niall laughed lightly. "Oh, you didn't know about their 'relationship'?" he asked me curiously while making air quotations around 'relationship'.

"No, I mean I remember reading in a magazine once that they had a 'thing' but I figured it was over since, ya know, I thought Harry..." I said as my voice trailed off,"liked someone else," I mumbled as I sat on to the bed.

Niall must have understood how I was feeling because came over and sat next to me.

"Hey, I know Harry likes you. Kendall and him...they're just friends with um...benefits. She's always had a thing for him and he's always been bad with rejecting her. I'm sorry he's being such an ass to you, but he'll change...for you, I know he will," Niall said as he rubbed my hand.

He was such a good friend.

Niall looked super tired and I decided I should make him stop worrying about me so he could get some sleep.

I shook my head reassuringly to him and stood back up to grab the things I needed from my suitcase. I needed my PJs, my hairbrush, some hair ties, my shampoo, my make up bag for in the morning, my toothbrush...

wait, where was my cosmetic bag? With all of that stuff in it?

Crap. I must have forgot it in Harry's room. Of course. The one bag that I actually need more than anything, and I forget it in the one place that I don't want to go to.

Niall saw the panicked look on my face. "Are you all right?" he asked, concerned.

"I uh...forgot one of my bags in Harry's room," I said, frowning.

"Do you want me to go get it for you?" Niall said as he stood up and pulled one of his t-shirts over top of his head.

"No, no, I can go get it, it's not a big deal..." I said as I grabbed my phone and headed towards the door.

"Are you sure?" Niall asked. He knew how uncomfortable I felt about it. And to be honest, no Niall I'm not sure, but I need that bag, and this is my problem, not yours. You shouldn't have to handle my problems for me, I thought.

"Yeah, I'll be right back," I said as I gave him a small smile and left.

I got in the elevator and rode all of the way to Harry's floor. When I got out, I immediately heard some strange noises. They sounded like they were coming from...Harry's room?

My heart told me to turn around and go back to Niall's room, but my brain told me that I needed to do this, I needed to figure out what was going on, and I needed to get my things.

I couldn't even decide what to do, I was just frozen, standing in the hallway by Harry's door. The noises sounded like two people were having a lot of fun in the room they were in. I was about to puke.

Suddenly the noises stopped and then I heard, "Oh Harry," come out of a girl's mouth breathlessly followed by the sound of a phone ringing.

Alright, that was enough for me. I turned around and began to walk away when I heard a door open behind me.

It was Kendall. Her hair was a little messy, her dress was not completely zipped all of the way, he make up was smudged, and she held her shoes in one hand and her cell phone in the other. She was on the phone with someone and looked worried.

"Yeah, yeah, mom, I heard you the first time! No...no, calm down, I wasn't with a guy! I was just...uh..." she said and then finally spotted me. A look of hope crossed her face, "no, no, mom! I was just at my new friend, uh Brooklyn's room, we were just hanging out and lost track of time!" she said as she smiled and quickly came towards me.

Hmmm she bothered to remember my name. I'm flattered. I shot her a confused look.

"No, mom, I'm not lying! Here, you can even hear it from her!" she said as she took the phone away from her ear and held it towards me. She mouthed the word "please" at me.

Wow, she seemed desperate. Like really, really, desperate. I felt bad, and being the nice person that I am, I took the phone from her.

"Hi, this is Brooklyn." I said in the phone to the lady. Kendall gave me a relieved smile.

"Hello, Brooklyn, I'm Kris Jenner. Were you with Kendall tonight? She wasn't with any boys, was she?" the very sophisticated women asked me. Great, I guess I'm covering for this girl that I barely knew now. The same girl that just had sex with the guy I liked, or at least I think.

"Uh, nope. She was with me the entire night," I said to the women on the phone. I'm such a good liar when I want to be.

"Okay, well thank you for telling me. She can be pretty rebellious sometimes," the women said and I laughed awkwardly into the phone. Then I handed it back to Kendall.

She wrapped up the conversation with her mom as I stood awkwardly beside her. Should I still get my stuff from Harry's room? I really didn't want to see him. Like ever again.

I was surprised when Kendall ended the phone call and then suddenly hugged me tightly.

"Thank. You. So. Much. Brooklyn," she said happily," You literally saved me from my evil mom, I don't know what I would've done without you being here," she said.

It was funny how, even though she looked like such a mess right now, she was still so pretty. And that makes me forever jealous, like how can someone look so perfect all of the time? Maybe that's why Harry liked her so much.

"No problem," I said simply and shrugged my shoulders.

"Well, anyways," she said as she pulled up her contact list on her phone," we should really hang out sometime soon, I could see us being really good friends," she said sweetly and handed me her phone again,"here, put your number in and I'll text you when I we're in the same cities and we can get together!" she finished saying in an excited tone.

I put my number in and gave her phone back to her. I felt stupid for not really saying anything, but this night was seriously so confusing and I didn't know how to act around Kendall. Should I be friends with her? I don't see why not but...

"I'll see you soon! Thanks again," she said as she turned and walked towards the elevator.

"Okay, and you're welcome!" I found myself saying back in my happy voice. I waved to her but then something immediately caught my attention.

"Oh my god, Kendall," I said as I ran up to her and grabbed her elbow to spin her around so she was facing me. She stopped in her tracks,"A-are you okay?" I said nervously as I examined the wound on her neck. A bite mark. Goddammit, Harry.

She looked as if she forgot it was there too. It was almost healed now, but still, I could see it and so could she.

"Oh, yeah," she said while laughing it off like it was no big deal," Harry does that a lot. I'm used to it, I guess it's how he shows that he's in control, ya know? " she laughed again," But it's sexy so it doesn't bother me," she smiled and waved, then walked away.

I stood there in shock. She was used to this? Harry uses her like THIS?

That's awful. I've got to make him stop hurting others like this.

I stormed towards Harry's door and knocked on it hard. He probably could tell that I was upset now, not that he knew it was me.

The door opened and Harry stood there with the most confused and shocked look on his face.

Then reality hit him and a guilty look plastered across his face.

And then I noticed something too,

My eyes skimmed down Harry's torso,

He was standing in front of me with only his boxers on.

Gulp.

Hold it together Brooklyn, hold it together...
