Thank You El.

Demetria POV:
I sat there staring at him waiting for him to finish. I don’t like the idea of him and Taylor continuing their fake relationship but he seems okay with whatever news management told him. “They said that after New Year’s, we can break up.” He looks at me expectantly but I'm not sure what he wants me to say. Should I be happy that they are going to break up or should I be upset that I can’t kiss and hold my boyfriend in public? What kind of things are they going to have to do in public? Should I constitute this as cheating or turn a blind eye. I realize he is still staring at me but I can’t bring myself to talk to him. We continue our walk in silence before we finally make it back to my house. I quickly get in and run to the bathroom. I turn the water on for a shower and plug in the stopper. I strip my clothes down and gently lay in the water to soak away my thoughts.
Harry POV:
After I tell her the good news, in my head at least, she goes quiet. While we walk, I constantly steal looks at her face because I'm not sure why she’s silent. This should be a good thing! Just two more months until I can tell the world that she’s mine and not care about making sure management is happy. We walk into her house and she immediately goes to the bathroom. I see Eleanor on the couch eating ice cream, and I decide to go talk to her.
“Eleanor I think I messed up,” she looks up from the television and sets her ice cream down on the table, “I told Demetria something I thought she’d want to hear but instead she left me.” She looked back to the television before turning it off, “What did you tell her?” she asked. “I told her that management said I couldn’t break up with Taylor yet but we could break up after New Year’s. As soon as I told her this, her entire mood shifted and she got extremely quiet. Then, we got back her and she just went to the bathroom. I just don’t know where I went wrong.” She just gives me a blank stare and goes into the kitchen. “Well thanks for all your help el! I really appreciate it!” I say getting up and following her into the kitchen.
“What do you want me to say Harry? Stop being an idiot and see it from her perspective. I'm sure she understands that you guys are in a different kind of relationship but what girl can’t say, ‘Oh yeah I’d love to go out to eat with you boyfriend! Sure, let’s go walk around the town center for a minute!’ I’ll answer that question for you: Demetria! She can’t hang out with you in public, she can’t post cute pictures of you guys on social networks even though every girl LOVES to do that, and don’t forget that she has to sit back and watch you kiss and hug on another girl and be totally fine with it! Did it ever cross your mind that you’re going to be cheating on her every fucking time you touch that girl? Did it Harry? I bet it didn’t!” I stood still as el yelled at me because she was right; I didn’t think about any of this stuff.
“How do I fix this?” I asked nearly about to cry. I cared a lot about Demetria and didn’t want this to be the end of us. “Talk to her and figure it out. I'm sure she’ll tell you what you can and cannot do according to her cheating rules.” El gave me a quick hug before leaving, “Oh and if she’s in the bathroom, that means she thinking about it in the shower. Go check on her because sometimes she forgets to come back up for air.”
I quickly run to the bathroom and pull the shower curtain back. I see her underneath the water and she looks extremely peaceful. “Demetria are you okay?” I shout at her to see if she would respond. I turn the water off and pull her out of the water. She comes up and takes deep breaths as she looks around her, “Harry? What are you doing? get out of here! I'm naked you pervert!” she shouts at me. Oh crap! I didn’t even notice that. I get up to leave but decide against that and get a towel off the rack, “what are you doing?” she asks a little more calmly. I pull her up from the tub and wrap her in the towel. I lead her to her bedroom and sat her down on the bed.
Demetria POV:
“I'm sorry. I never really thought to see it through your perspective because all I focused on was the news. I understand if you want to separate until it’s over or permanently but I really hope not. I don’t think you believe me when I say I don’t want this to end.” I can tell he’s rambling and uncertain of how I feel. I understand though sensing how I haven’t talked to him and when I do, I yell at him.
“Look Harry, I don’t know what the right answer is to this. I want to continue to date you because I really like you but you’re going to be cheating on me every single time. I don’t know if I can take seeing you guys in the tabloids being a ‘happy couple’ while we’re at home watching movies because we can’t show the world. I just need some time to think about it.” I cup his face in my hands before getting up and getting dressed. He gets up and kisses my forehead before leaving but I don’t think I want to sleep alone tonight.
I get in bed and cuddle up to Charlie and drift off to dreaming about my curly head trouble maker.
*2 hours later*
I'm woken up by the front door being slam. I walk into the front and see Louis stumbling in with el. She’s struggling to keep him up so I rush to help her. She irritably throws him onto her bed and silently thanks me. I walk out and see Harry asleep on the couch. I run back to my room to grab Charlie and make my way over to him. “Harry?” I say while gently nudging him. He groans at me but I continue until he wakes up. “I don’t want to sleep alone. Can we sleep with you?” I ask while holding up Charlie and giving him my best puppy dog eyes. “Sure, love. You never have to ask.” He scoots over as if I want to sleep on this couch.
“Actually I think my bed is lonely as well. Can we go in there?” I say. He nods his head and pulls the blanket back before standing up. He grabs my hand and leads me to my bedroom. When we finally lay down, he pulls us, Charlie and me, close to him. “Demetria, why do you have Charlie?” he asked. “Can I be honest with you?” he simply hums a yes answer, “I sleep with him when I'm scared or lonely. I want you to start holding him though so he can smell like you. That way when I'm alone and you’re on the road, I will have something to remind me of you.” He squeezes us lightly, “sure! I'm excited to finally hang out with Charlie!” he replies. I chuckle at his eagerness. “Oh and Harry?” I say while turning to face him. “Yes, love?”
“I wasn’t mad that you saw me naked. I just wanted to see your reaction when I stood up in front of you.”
