I'm Broken but I'm fine

Part 2

I believe Harry's sorry for not contacting me over the last five years, but if mum and Anne hadn't mentioned anything to him he still wouldn't have called me. He is only concerned because they all think I'm going off the rails, not because he really cares about me.

The car starts moving again, I didn't get much sleep last night so the soft music playing and the movement of the car lulls me to sleep. I'm woken by Harry shaking me gently.

"Lou" he shakes me and I flinch awake. I back up away from him, people only touch me when they are hurting me.

"Hey it's okay, we're here" Harry says gently, he furrows his eyes at my reaction.

"S...sorry" I say as I relax again.

Harry just smiles at me and his gorgeous dimples show, to say Harry is gorgeous is a complete understatement. He has long curly hair and legs for days, he is tall and muscly and everything I find attractive. Even though we aren't blood related, it still seems awkward to have these feelings for him. Harry would never find me attractive or feel the same way about me anyway.

"It's fine Lou, come on" he says as he holds out his hand for me to take.

I hesitate but settle my hand in his and he helps me out of the car. The spark I feel when our hands touch nearly makes me flinch back but I don't. I wonder if Harry feels it too, if he does he hides it.

We head up the lift to the apartment and when I step inside I'm gobsmacked. It's huge, it's like a guys dream apartment. The whole side wall of the place is glass and looks out over London. Everything on the lower level is open and the kitchen dining and living room are one big room. There are beanbags and couches and every game console and game ever made. The dvd collection is also huge and I can't help but gawk. The place is surprisingly spotless too. As I look around I see Zayn and Liam sitting at the breakfast bar at the kitchen.

"Well, well well, look what the cat dragged in...get over here Lou and give uncle Z a hug" Zayn says smiling at me.

He is still impeccably gorgeous with his sharp cheekbones and quiff. He looks like a model not a detective but his muscles show and I know he can hold his own.

"He Z" I say shyly as he engulfs me in a hug. He still smells the same.

"I missed you Kid" Zayn tells me pulling back, I don't miss his concerned eyes as he assess me.

"Hey Lou, it's good to see you again, we are really happy to have you stay with us" Liam says from beside Zayn, as he too comes and hugs me.

"Thanks Liam" I say as we pull away.

"Come and I will show you your room" Harry says to me.

I turn around and he leads me up the stairs to a huge hallway that has two sides. On the left there are three doors and on the right there are three doors. Harry leads me to the second door on the left and opens it. Inside is a huge queen size bed and my own TV and game consoles. The bed has blue and white striped sheets and pillows on it and it looks so comfy. I can't help but think I get my own TV and games because the boys don't want me playing in the lounge room with them.

"I hope you like it" Harry says to me smiling.

"It's great thank you!" I say shyly.

"My room is right next door okay and Liam, Zayn and Niall are down the other end of the corridor" he smiles at me.

"Okay.....look Harry. I know I'm a burden and you don't really want me here, I'm sorry you got stuck with me. I tried to get out of it but I'm sorry it didn't work. I will stick to my room and I won't bother you I promise" I say shyly as I look at the floor and play with my sweater.
