Love is War
Chapter 12
The doorbell rang and I immediately knew who it was. Harry. I made my way downstairs and opened the door. I blinked in disbelief when I saw my ex boyfriend standing there, tears in eyes, in the same clothes from the day we broke up.
"Why are you here?" I asked him, sounding harsher than I intended to.
"I miss you too much, I don't want to lose you. I was stupid but I really want to get back together," he told me and I could see the tears forming in his eyes.
"Harry, I'm not getting back together with you. You cheated on me and that was way more than just bad. I'm not going to let you hurt me again," right when I said that, a tear escaped his eye. I hated to see him like this, because I still love him, but I'm not going to let him mess with my emotions like this.
"Please let me expla-" Before he could finish his sentence I cut him off.
"THERE IS NOTHING TO EXPLAIN! YOU CHEATED ON MEAND I'M NOT TAKING YOU BACK! THERE'S REALLY NOTHING COMPLICATED ABOUT IT! NOW GET OUT!" I yelled at him. I could no longer stay calm.
"JUST LISTEN TO ME!" He yelled at me. I didn't even notice that we were having this argument by the door until he stepped into the house and sat down on the couch. It wasn't long after that until he stood up and started running his hands through his perfect hair. NO AMANDA! DON'T CALL HIM PERFECT! HE CRUSHED YOUR HEART! I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard him crying loudly. He was pacing back and forth, shaking his head as if he were saying 'no', tears rushing out of his eyes, his fingers still running through his curls.
"Fine. Explain." I spoke in a very low volume, I don't even know how he heard me.
"Thanks." He said before staying silent for a couple of minutes.
"The other day I went to buy some groceries at the supermarket. I saw Kendall Jenner there. Zayn, Liam, Louis, Niall, and I formed a band. We're not sure of the name yet but whatever. I went over to Kendall and asked if she could get management to film us or something or maybe find someone that would sign us to a record label. She said that she was starving and that she would rather talk about that at a restaurant while she had breakfast. She leaned in to kiss me but I refused and moved away. I explained to her that I wasn't interested plus I had a girlfriend, and then I ended up talking about how amazing you were. When I saw you come in through the doors, I told heat you were my girlfriend, and she got a jealous look on her face. She told me that if I didn't pretend to be her boyfriend and say that you were my sister, then she wouldn't tell management to helps us out and that she would say I tried to rape her. I didn't want to go to jail, 'cause then I wouldn't be able to see you for god knows how long, so I pretended to be her boyfriend. She's a monster! Please believe me," as he said that, more tears strolled down his perfect cheeks.
"Then why would Kendall say you cheated on her?" I asked him, partially believing his story, partially not.
"You know how the Kardashians are, and plus, she wanted me to pretend I was her boyfriend so that she could ruin our relationship," he said. This time he spoke in a much calmer voice.
"That's true, but I don't know Harry. I need some time to decide whether to take you back or not," I could tell he was hurt by what I said, because his eyes began to water up. He leaned in closer and closer until are lips were moving in sync. I was planning on pulling away but I just couldn't. Harry made me feel like no other boy did, but I just wasn't sure if I was ready to take him back.
I broke the kiss once I remembered that Rachel was home. I sat on the couch and patted the seat next to me. Once Harry came over, I smiled at him.
"Harry, we can't kiss while Rachel is in the house, because we know what that'll lead to. So, please just give me some time to think about this," I told him in a soft tone.
"Anything for you Amanda," I smiled at his reply and pecked him on the lips.
"I don't think friends do that, so if that's your way of saying that we're getting back together, than congratulations! You just made me the happiest man on Earth" He said it as a joke but I could see the hope in his eyes.
"Haha very funny." I said in a very sarcastic tone.
"I wasn't kidding," he said, this time with hurt in his eyes. I gave him a hug and kissed his nose. The rest of the day we just hung out, and he kept asking me if I would date him. I wanted to say yes every time but I'm just not sure.
Right as Harry was about to leave, the doorbell rang. Rachel was home, Harry was here, and I wasn't expecting any company. Who could it be?
Harry stepped in front of me and told me to stand back, just in case it was Steven again. He looked through the peephole in the door and his eye widened.
"It's not Steven," he said, still looking shocked.
"Then who is it?" I asked. I need to know who it is. Is it some creepy hobo?
"Look for yourself. I want to make sure I'm not crazy," now I REALLY needed to know who it was. I looked through the peephole and couldn't believe my eyes.
"Um, Harry? Did you see Melanie when you looked through the peephole?" I asked him. He nodded, now looking scared.
"You're not crazy," I told him, now scared too.
It was Melanie.
"Why are you here?" I asked him, sounding harsher than I intended to.
"I miss you too much, I don't want to lose you. I was stupid but I really want to get back together," he told me and I could see the tears forming in his eyes.

Notes
Ok, so my friend was begging me to take the story off of hold and to make Chapter 12. At first I refused but then she bribed me with Nutella. I'm putting the story back on hold until Harry's B-Day!!!! Unless there's more Nutella involved...
Y did Melanie have to die!! She was my favorite character!?! Or did she die??......
