Chapter 15: Won't Let Go

"Why is Calum here?!" I whisper as what happened yesterday happened again here but in a different restaurant. "Oh look, Mrs. Harry Styles is here too." I hear a mate of ours say. "Oh, Sophie. You're with, oh, Amy, Ryan, Luke, Chris, Calum." I greet them with a smile except Calum. "Can we get a bigger table?" Luke says.

No. Please. I'm losing my appetite.

"Are you fine?" Ellie asks me with a smile. "Yeah." I nod.

I have nothing to do than to transfer to another table with them.

"How's Harry?" Amy asks and I smiled and looked back to my food. "He's fine." I say. I really don't want to talk about Harry with my mates. "Is that what he gave you?" Sophie asks and they all looked at my necklace. "Yeah." I nod and smiled again. This smile is telling you all to shut up. "Can I touch it?" She asks and all of them laughed. "Yeah." I nod.

We already sound stupid, I can feel it.

"I just touched Harry Styles." Sophie says and squealed. We all laughed and Ryan wanted to say something but he empties his mouth first. "Once you touched Tara, you have already touched Harry." He says and everyone agreed. "You're so lucky to have Harry." Amy says. "Can we meet him some time? I just want to hug him." she adds. "Or kiss him. I would snog him. I'll just hide him for a minute from Tara." Sophie says and they laughed. I feel very uncomfortable now. I don't like them talking about Harry like that. If they think that Harry would just kiss some girl anywhere, he wouldn't do that now. I know it has been a long time since I last dine with my mates. My awkward smiles are showing now and I can't control it anymore. I don't want to talk about Harry.

"Let's not talk about Harry." Ellie says. I'm glad she already knows how I feel. "Why? We wanna know more about him?" Ryan says and I just continued eating. "Is it because Calum's here?" Chris adds and I almost choked but it wasn't that obvious. "No, no." Calum says. "Oh, Calum." Sophie looks at him and I just shake my head. My phone rings on the table and I answered it. "Excuse me." I stand away from my seat and walked to the comfort room. "Hello?" "Hi, love." Harry is on the other line. "Hi. Are you in the studio?" I ask. "Not yet. We were moved later three. Uh...Do you want to have lunch?" He asks. "I'm already having it with my mates." I say. "Oh, ah, can I see you? I'll come there." He says. "Uhm, we're about to finish." I lied. Our food was just served ten minutes ago. "I'll meet your mates." He adds. "We're on our way back to the uni now. Is Niall there or Zayn? Louis? Liam?" I ask. "Louis' on his way." He says. "Okay. Why won't you have lunch with him?" I ask so that he won't go here and meet my mates. "Okay, I'll wait for him." He says with a sigh. "Sorry, babe. Maybe tomorrow we can have lunch together." I say just to cheer him up. "We'll talk about it later when we get home." "Okay." I say and hang up.

I won't allow Harry to come over after from what I've heard from my mates. Even if it's a joke, if they think that Harry's still like that, I won't let them touch him.

"Who was that?" Luke asks. "Was it Harry? Is he coming?" Sophie asks as I sit. "It was Ashton." I answer. "How's your brother?" Chris asks. "He's really fine." I answer.

Me, Harry, and paper work were the topics for today's lunch. Before, I used to be loud with them, I usually start every topic but now I'm the one who doesn't speak anymore. I had to be careful and I have to watch my words when I speak. Sometimes, Ellie just controls the whole conversation so I can still chat with them.

As we finished, they decided to walk back to the university.

"We really miss you, Tara. It has been a long time since we last talked." Sophie says. "Yeah, tell Harry when he has time he can come over and we can have some pints." Ryan says. "Oh, when he has time." I nod and smiled. "Don't be worried about Calum, we're looking someone for him now." Luke jokingly says as they laughed. "Tara's a good friend of mine now." Calum says and puts his arm around me. I move away from him. It was really comfortable, why would he do that?

Evening, Ellie drove me back home.

"It made me not want to have lunch with them anymore." I say and Ellie laughs lightly. "Thank you, Ellie. I owe you a lot." I say and take my seat belt off. "Oh, it was nothing. Just give me a backstage pass to their upcoming tour." Ellie says and we laughed. "I have to go now. I think Harry's already there." I say and walked out of the car and in my flat.

Harry's already here as I can see his car keys on the table again. I went inside the room and Harry was watching telly. "Hi. You didn't call me." I say. "You were with Calum a while ago?" Harry says and I paused. "I saw it on Twitter. There were photos of you and Calum together." He adds but he was just calm. "Harry---" "Was he the reason you didn't want me to come?" He asks. "No. It's because of my mates." I honestly say. I never wanted to argue with Harry. "But you were still with Calum." He says. He already looked so cheesed off and I can see it on his face that he really didn't like what he saw. "Yeah, I was. I didn't want you to go there because---" "Because of Calum?" "Harry!" "Tara, you don't know how I feel when I see you two together." He says and he already looks bad now. "And you don't know how I feel about my mates wanting to take advantage of you." I say and. "Calum was the one who fought with me and your ex---" "And my mates sees you as that guy who would just snog them anytime." I cut his words.

"But I'm not that anymore." Harry says. "That's why I didn't want you to come over since they see you as the Harry who would just snog any girl!" I repeat and already lost my temper. "Harry, I don't want to argue. I'm tired." I say as I take my clothes off and changed to my pajamas. "I didn't want to argue with you either." He says and stands from the bed as I lie down.

"I'm going out for a moment." He says as he turns the lights off and walks out of my room. I didn't care much since I know he'll come back within five minutes or less so I just slept.

The cold air woke me up and I turn to my right, Harry wasn't there. I stand from my bed and walked towards the door to see if he's sleeping on the couch but he wasn't so I look around my flat and he's not anywhere. I walked back to my room and there is just one thing I need to do to stop me from worrying. I have to type down chapter twenty-two right now.

I take my laptop out and turned it on, I started to type from the time I got home until now.

"Harry went home since he didn't want me to get worried so we settled the problem..."

I have to end the chapter since it's very long now and I have to control myself in typing now. I suddenly heard the door open and Harry's home now. I felt relief as I can hear the car keys dropped on the table on the living room.

"Let's talk about this, can we?" Harry says and took his clothes off and sat beside me on bed.

He was calm while we talked in the middle of the night, we had to open up to each other until our conversation started to made us laugh.
