Chapter 16

Thank you to those who have been sticking up for me, most of the haters have stopped which is good because I was thinking of leaving the book and not finishing it. I wanted to say that I’m really happy that you all are enjoying it! 

I’m updating more, because I’m on holidays in 3 days! Yay! I finish school for 2 weeks and then I have to go back...

If you have an idea for the book, please just comment below and I might put it in the book! I love hearing your ideas, because I then think about what I could do to help the book get better! 

I hope you enjoy this new chapter because I had a bit of trouble writing it. I kind of had writer’s block.

Enjoy!

Harry’s POV

Ruby stepped out of the bathroom, so I could finish on the toilet. I washed and dried my hands that were beginning to shake and tremble. I was happy that me and Ruby were going to start to fix things, but in a way I was worried that we may fight or have an argument. I stepped out of the bathroom, to find Ruby sitting on the couch watching I’m guessing the news. 

“We’ll be right back in a few short minutes!” The presenter spoke. I walked towards her and smiled. She smiled back at me and switched off the TV. 

I knew we needed to sort out things and I think this is the best way to do this. Away from everyone and everything. It was going to be just us.

I sat down beside Ruby and opened my mouth to say something, but she cut me off.

“Harry, I’m sorry for everything. I can’t even remember what we were fighting about. I know I have been really odd these past few days or weeks, and I’m really sorry. I just wanted to get away from everything and everyone. I took Niall’s advice and left London. I thought he was right, and maybe he was. Maybe no one cares about me? I always feel so alone and I feel like there is no one to support me. I’m just so sorry.” Ruby spoke out, I could see the tears rimming in her eyes. This made me begin to tear up.

“Ruby, I remember what started all of this and it was Bella. You cracked it at her and she didn’t do anything wrong. I know I kind of stuffed everything up, like her moving in straight away and you not knowing her properly. For Niall, it was wrong of him to say all that to you. I haven’t spoken to him about any of the stuff he said to you, but when we get back home I will speak to him. I’m sorry too.” I held my arms out and Ruby crawled into them. 

I placed my head on top of herself. I wish we could stay like this forever.

“What do you mean ‘we’?” Ruby mumbled.

“Aren’t we going home?” I replied back to her.

“I’m not sure about going home.” I pulled away from Ruby and looked into her eyes.

“Ruby, everyone is so worried about you. We all want you home and safe. There are so many people who care about you and you don’t even know it. I’m not leaving without you.” She nodded and pulled me into a hug.

I awoke in the morning to find myself lying down in a bed. I could hear two people speaking. One voice was Ruby’s and another I didn’t know. I decided to ears-drop on their conversation.

“He wants you to go home?” The unknown voice asked.

“Yeah Mia.” Ruby spoke, she sounded tired and in a mood.

“Don’t worry, he won’t force you to go home. Will he?”

“I hope not. I want to get to know you better.”
