I held my head in my hands for a while as I sat on the floor next to the elevator. I was done crying, I had cried enough over him. I was so upset and angry. We were broken up when I kissed Cal, and no matter how many times I said it he wouldn't listen.
Maybe I just shouldn't have even brought it up.
I wipe my old tears away and lean my head back against the wall. I sniffle and take a deep breath in staring at the floor.
About five minutes later I heard footsteps trail down the hallway towards me and I sigh.
It was Alex.
I guess the shoot ended?
He glanced over at me, before sitting down next to me. I wiped my nose with my sleeve and we sat in silence for a while until he finally said something.
"So what happened?"
I shook my head before placing my head in my hands.
"He broke up with me." I muttered ashamed of myself.
"Why?" He scoffed.
I hesitated on if I should tell him, I didn't want him to think I was a cheater- because in reality I wasn't. Yeah what I did was shitty but Harry and I weren't together then... I don't know. I should've told him earlier. I shouldn't have kissed Calum at all.
"It was a misunderstanding," I simply state not wanting to explain and dish out the entire situation.
He nods silently and I groan to myself, "I have nowhere to stay tonight." I nervously laugh.
"You're always welcome to stay at my apartment, if you want?"
"No that's okay-" I hesitate.
"Cmon, you don't have to find a hotel to stay at or something. Just sleep in my guest room for the night." He suggested.
"I don't know.. If he finds out I'm in another guys apartment he'll flip." I explain.
"Well, he can't get mad anymore. Because you guys are done and you need to find someone better who can trust you." He said looking at me.
The man had a point.
"You're right," I sigh. "But I don't wanna take advantage of your kindness,"
"You aren't. You're a friend in need." He rolled his eyes playfully.
I finally gave in and nodded. "Thank you." I bit my lip.
"So it's 4:30 now. Work ends at seven. I can take you back to the apartment afterwards and we can watch a movie or something." He decided.
"That sounds good. Thank you so much Alex." I offered him a small smile.
"No problem. Are you hungry? You could go out and get something to eat and come back to the studio after. Just please be quiet when you come in." He stated, and I winced at the thought of Harry barging in.
"Yeah definitely," I chuckled lightly. "Don't you have a shoot to finish?"
He shook his head making me raise a brow. Did Harry ruin the shoot??
"Makeup artists are touching Barbara up right now. We have a ten minute break." Alex stated. "By the way, Liam is leaving pretty soon."
"Okay." I nod. "I'm gonna go grab some food, I'm gonna text a friend and bring her with me. And maybe I can pick up a couple things from the dorm room to bring to your house."
He simply nodded in response before standing up. "Be careful." He said before walking back towards the studio room.
I immediately texted Quinn.
Me: Quinn, Harry and I broke up. I'm at a photography studio near chipotle. Please come get me we can go eat something.
Quinn: Wtf was it about this time??
Me: I'll explain later.
Quinn: You guys are so on & off omfg
Me: Cmon Quinn are you coming or not??
Quinn:Yes chilllll I'll be there. You better tell me all the details when I'm there. And we're going to chipotle. No choice.

I had sat down in the lobby and I had gotten a glance of myself in the mirror and I looked terrible. My mascara was running down my cheeks.
Moments later I saw Quinn walk into the lobby and her jaw slightly fell open. She frowned at my appearance making me sigh as she ran over.
"Oh my god," she hummed in sympathy. "Let's get you cleaned up."
She took my hand and dragged me into the nearest restroom.
"You're lucky I have makeup wipes 24/7." She shook her head opening her purse and digging through it.
She grabbed the makeup wipes and forcefully wiped down my cheeks and eyes.
"Ow," I mumbled with a scowl on my face. I grabbed the wipe from her and wiped my makeup off myself.
"Wait where are you staying tonight?" She asked.
"I'm staying with Alex. Remember I told you about him."
She raised a brow. "Moving on already I see?"
I chuckled to myself. "No, he invited me out of pity. He's probably gay, he's too hot to be straight."
"Hm. I'll have to meet him." She hummed to herself.
I threw away my old makeup wipe and we were on our way to the chipotle next door.
We both got a burrito bowl and some chips. We chose a spot to sit at and I began explaining the whole situation.
"So we were fighting about how he doesn't trust me and then he asked if I had ever cheated on him." I paused hesitating.
"Bitch you cheated?" She exclaimed.
"No! Well, I don't know! Let me explain." I sighed. "I kissed someone else- but we were broken up when I did it. And I told him and he left and broke up with me."
"Oh. I mean you didn't cheat, but that's still fucked."
"How? We weren't together!"
"If you found out Harry kissed someone right now wouldn't you be pissed off?" Quinn stated.

(later that night)
Harrys POV
I bit my lip before leaning closer to her, kissing her lips tenderly. She eagerly kissed me back and wrapped her hands around my neck pulling me closer.
I couldn't help but think this was wrong, but when I reminded myself that Mackenzie and I were done it felt so much better. It felt so good kissing somebody without any commitment. It felt so good kissing somebody for no fucking reason. It felt so good getting the pleasure without getting the pain. It felt so good not having to care. But it felt so bad without her.
