Taken

Chapter 18

Chapter 18

Emma's POV

Harry has tried contacting me multiple times, but of course, I ignore him. This hotel is amazing. And Liam is paying for everything, so I can order anything and everything I want.

Right now I'm laying in the bed, the white sheets on top of me, eating my pancakes that I ordered, and looking out the glass wall, watching the sun rise.

I honestly feel so at peace.

Except one thing that's running through my head.

What if Harry isn't cheating? That Chloe was coming on to him?

But I keep denying it. I mean, he never said anything about having a girlfriend, and that's the first thing you'd do, right?

Well, that's the first thing I would do.

I sigh, and push my plate to the side, sliding out of bed and putting on my swim suit, with a crop top and mini shorts over top. I brush through my knotty hair and put it into a high pony-tail. I put my sunglasses and jandles on, and head out of my room, locking it.

I grab a taxi, and head to the beach.

Once I get there I jump out, and walk down the beach. I just need some fresh air.

I spot the outline of a figure walking towards me, and step to the side to let them past until I see their face.

"Em?" He whispers.

My jaw clenches and I start walking swiftly away.

I hear him turn and jog after me.

"Go away Harry." I say, spinning around.

"Please! Listen to me! I didn't cheat, just let me explain." He pleads.

I sigh. Why does he have to be so cute yet such a bastard?

"Harry, I trusted you. At the start, I did doubt the relationship because you were such a player, AND we were bestfriends, which I didn't want to ruin. I was scared that exactly this would happen, and ruin our friendship. And I was right! I fooled myself that you would be different for me. That I was that special one you wouldn't try anything with. But I was wrong, just like everything else!" I say, at the end raising my voice.

He flinches, and moves closer, attempting to grab my hand. I tug it away.

"No, Harry." I whisper this time, and turn around, running up the beach to the exit.

When I turn back, I see his figure sitting with his head in his hands.

He did that to himself. I can't feel sorry for him right now.

I get a taxi, but this time I go to Starbucks, and text Liam to meet me there.

I walk in and Liam is sitting at a table. He looks up from his phone and smiles sweetly.

Honestly, why couldn't Harry be more like Liam? I'm not saying I like him or anything, but he is so trustworthy and sweet. He is the bestest friend ever.

(A/N: I know bestest isn't a word but just go with it okay?)

I walk over and sit down opposite him.

"What's up, punk?" He asks randomly. I giggle.

"I just ran into Harry on the beach." I explain.

"Oh, about that, Em, he actually didn't cheat on you." Liam says.

"Wait, he talked to you? What did he say?" I ask.

"He said that Chloe texted him, and he declined, nicely, not wanting to be rude. He said that he was going to tell her about you if she texted again. Obviously she did, and he was in the bathroom. Anyway, I checked his phone and he sent her this message." Liam says, and shows me his phone. He had taken a photo of the message Harry had sent her.

Harry: Chloe. Listen. I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND. I have told you to back off. I was trying to be nice, that's all. We had fun, sure. But that was when I was young and fucked up. I have a nice girlfriend. Or had. She saw your stupid messages and left me! I haven't been able to get ahold of her yet. So I hope you're happy! You may have ruined my relationship with the girl whom I love so much, and I do, truly believe she was the one. Don't contact me again. At all.

"Woah. Harry really sent that?" I ask.

"Yip. I was going to call you, actually. But you called me before I got the chance." He explains.

I just nod.

I feel so stupid now.

I grab my phone out and text Harry.

Emma: Meet me at the park in 10 minutes.

"Liam, I gotta go sort this out. Thank you so much, I love you bestie!" I say, and give him a huge hug.

"Allgood Em, love you too." He smiles.

I run out of Starbucks and start walking to the park, as it's not that far from here.

I sit down on a swing, and lightly swing back and fourth.

After 5 minutes, I see Harry round the corner, and enter the park.

He looks up at me and smiles lightly. I quickly look down at my feet, knowing what I have to say.

"Emma. Listen," He says.

"Harry..." I start.

"No." He says firmly. "hear me out. I did not cheat on you. I was saying no nicely, not being mean. Emma, I was fucked up when I was younger. Thinking that I could just take advantage of girls like that. It was so, so wrong. But when you started dating Zayn, I got that feeling in my stomach that I hadn't ever felt before. Jealousy. When I had to work so hard to be with you, I realized how fucking stupid I was. I really, really hate what I was. When I fell in love with you, it was like the whole world revolved around you. You are my world, Emma. Please, believe me." He says, looking at me. It feels like he is staring into my soul.

"I believe you Harry. But what I can't stop thinking is, what if you did ever do that? Cheated on me? I mean, you were a player, I hated that. When you go out with the boys, get completely trashed, and a girl starts grinding on you, you won't think about me. You will be drunk, and who knows, you might cheat. What I think is, we need a break. Just be friends like we used to be, until I can trust you again. Just a couple of months, maybe weeks." I say.

I watch as his face drops, but then he looks up at me.

After awhile he nods.

"Okay. But remember, I will be waiting. Whenever you're ready Emma." He says. I smile and hug him.

"I've missed you, Harry. Alot." I muffle into his shoulder.

"You have no idea." He whispers.
