Forced To Be With Him 24/7

Chapter 57

Harry leaves the bathroom. I get back in the shower and rinse myself off. The life is drained out of me.

All the excitement and happiness from the morning has died with my self respect. I get I am wrong and that I screwed up, multiple times but c'mon, this is just torture.

I don't bother with anything else, I get out the shower and wrap myself in towels. After that, I sit on the edge of the bed, watching water drops travel down my arms and into the fluffy fabric.

Harry joins me a few minutes later, a towel wrapped around his hips while my towel is wrapped around my chest but with towels wrapped around both of our heads.

He says nothing, just sits beside me.

I start to take the tape and the plastic bag off my cast and after I rip half of my skin off with the duck tape, I cringe yet don't make a sound and return to sitting quietly next to him.

"I'm sorry." He says, staring directly in front of him.

"I'm sorry too." I say, both of our words matching each others tone.

He then grabs my hand and kisses it.

My broken hand sits lifelessly between us.

"I love you." He breathes into my skin. I close my eyes to favor the feeling of his lips on my hands before I answer.

"I love you too." I say, closing my eyes and kissing his cheek.

We stand there for a moment savoring the moment. I like it. I like being around him, no matter what.

"Want to finish where we left off?" Harry asks, all smiles.

"Yes." I say and jump onto him, leaving the towel mid air.

Very happy and almost dry, me and Harry make our way down the stairs to eat.

I know he still doesn't grasp why I got an abortion fully but thats something he can understand over time. I don't want to push it, it hurts both of us.

Harry says he wants to cook so I let him do whatever he wants while I start to pick up the throw pillows and liqueur glasses from the living room.

I start to hear a vibrating so I start to search for the phone that its coming from. I find my own phone, its not ringing. I go and find his, it reads Jeff on the screen and its been ringing for awhile now so I pick it up.

"Harry, I got great news-" he starts when I cut in.

"This is Alex speaking. Harry is just in the kitchen." I say, remembering the last time I saw him was at his party in LA, getting high with Kendall and Glenn.

"Oh." He says and the line goes dead.

"The Alex as in the Alex I met in LA before..." He gulps and stops. I let out a small laugh to ease his nerves.

"Ah yes." I say and hear him chuckle. This is really awkward.

"So everything's good?" Jeff asks.

"Very." I reply shortly. I know how to handle me and Harry now. I manage.

"So Alex, could you tell Harry he got casted from the auditions. He has to be back for a small briefing and head shots for the official cast tomorrow in France." Jeff says when my mouth drops. What casting? What audition?

"As in France, in Europe?" I ask, my heart sinking in my chest.

"Yes. Isn't he there now?" Jeff asks, equally caught off guard as I am.
