Dice [h.s.]

Prologue I

I dropped my hand and leaned against the elevator wall as I pressed the button to my floor. A new excitement built in my stomach since I was going to see my favorite person in the whole world. It's only been a few hours but I already missed him and his touch like crazy.

The elevator slowly made it to my floor, forcing my body awake at the ding. I pushed off of the wall and emerged into a small hallway. I turned and stopped at the only door at the end of the hallway.

I pulled my keys from my pocket and unlocked the door. As soon as it opened, I was met with the delicious scent of my favorite cologne. I smiled and locked the door behind me. I took off my shoes and unloaded my pockets.

"I'm home!" I shouted into the huge two story loft.

I quickly turned into the bathroom, scrubbing the blood off of my face. Before leaving, I looked at myself in the mirror. My hair sat curly on my shoulders, barely touched by the small sweat that boiled at my hairline from the torturing.

I touched up my makeup before emerging back into the main room. I grinned from ear to ear as Harry began to walk down the stairs. His laptop was in his hand as his usual suit was covering his body. I waited for him by the stairs as he stared at his computer.

"Hi, baby." Harry whispered as he met me at the bottom of the stares. He kissed me quickly before focusing back on his computer.

As soon as he sat down on the couch, all of my excitement drained from my face. Instantly, I knew exactly what he was doing. I suddenly felt sick, like I could vomit all over him and our furniture.

"Really, Harry?" I asked, annoyed.

"What?" He asked, glancing at me then back at his computer.

"God, you're unbelievable." I rolled my eyes and walked over to the kitchen which was covered in white marble.

"Ken-, come on." Harry quickly shut his laptop and met me in the kitchen. We were across from each other at the island.

"When are you going to give it a rest?" I groaned, grabbing a bottle of wine and pouring myself a glass.

"You know I can't. And stop drinking." Harry snatched the cup and glass away from me, dumping the rest of the both in the sink.

"The fuck!" I shouted, not in the mood for his shit tonight.

"You've been drinking so much lately. I rather you snort crack." Harry placed the bottle and glass in the sink.

"I wouldn't drink so much if you'd tear your eyes away from your computer!" I continued to shout, no longer keeping my cool.

"Really, Kennedy? You come home and start a fight? A fight we've had fifteen hundred times!" He raised his voice.

"And it still doesn't seem to stick!" I shouted angrily.

"I'm not doing this with you right now." Harry began to walk away, grabbing his computer and leaving me behind.

"Good, go stalk your dead bead, selfish little sister who hurt all of us! She doesn't give a shit about you or us, Harry! Therefore, you shouldn't either!" I screamed, my blood boiling with anger.

"I can't keep living in a relationship with you, me, and Natalie!" I hissed.

"Then don't." Harry said with his back to me, his head turned so I could see his side profile.

"Fuck you." I felt tears forming in my eyes.

"Goodnight Kennedy." He shook his head.

"Fuck you!" I shouted again.

Harry didn't respond, but just walked up the stairs and into our spare bedroom, one he tends to sleep in every single time we have this argument. Which is extremely often.

I sat down at the island and ran my fingers through my hair, feeling the anxiety of his words. I was pissed at him and have been for awhile now. But I love him so much it hurts.

Stubbornly, I got up and walked upstairs. I turned into our bedroom and into the bathroom. I removed my tights and long black body con dress, throwing it in the hamper and quickly showering.

I took my time showering, washing off the dried blood and stains on my skin. I even pampered myself, shaving and moisturizing. When I was finished, I dried my hair and changed into my underwear and a baggy t-shirt.

Instead of trying to beg Harry for forgiveness, I just crawled into bed. I was drained from today, unable to hold up a fight with him any longer. Quickly, I closed my eyes and attempted to sleep.

But sleeping turned into tossing and turning all night. My tosses were interrupted by the sound of screaming then my door opening. I sighed, knowing Harry must have had some type of attack or nightmare.

I opened my arms in the darkness and felt as Harry climbed in beside me. He laid his head on my chest and wrapped his arm around my body. I began to play with his hair, unable to ever stay mad at him.

"I'm right here, baby." I whispered, kissing the top of his head and closing my eyes, suddenly sleepy enough to fall asleep.

"I'm sorry." Harry whispered.

"It's ok. I love you." I whispered back, meaning every word I said.

"I love you." He answered, shivering as he tried to calm down.

We both drifted off to sleep at one point, probably between mumbles about our days. I loved him so much that he did no wrong in my eyes. But lately, I've been fed up with being in love with him but he is in love with me and Natalie.

I haven't been the same Kennedy since the death of my mother and Leonardo, but I can't let that stop me from knowing what I want. And truly, I have no idea.
