Harry's POV
I pull up on Stephanie's drive and I wait in my car. I've been trying to think of what I will say to her, but my mind keeps going blank. My phone bleeps and I shift my body up to take it out of my pocket. I unlock the screen and I have a message from Mum:

Remember to keep calm and just talk about how you feel. It's important you're openly honest with your feelings. Love you Son xxx

I put my phone back in my pocket, it's easier said than done with keeping calm. I only had a few minutes to explain to Mum that I had to leave, she was just as worried as me when I told her Steph wasn't eating. I really wish she wasn't acting this way and she could just make things feel less awkward.

I open the car door and I slowly step out, as I close It and lock the car, I see Niall walking towards me.

"I'm sorry Harry, the girls have tried everything and they were even considering coming to you. I thought you wouldn't really want them on your doorstep.." Niall says as he puts his hands in his pockets.

"It's not your fault Niall, I just don't feel it's right coming back this early. But if she's obviously not eating on purpose then I have no choice." I say as we slowly walk to the front door. I sigh softly as I open the door and we step inside.

"Harry thank you so much for coming back." Chloe says quietly. I nod as I look at her and she continues, "She's just come out of the bathroom, but she's in the spare room now." She explains. The spare room? That's where I stay..

"Okay, thanks." I say as I make my way upstairs, I ignore their eyes burning into the back of me. I head to the spare room and I knock on the door. There's no answer, I roll my eyes and I slowly open the door.

"Please leave me alone," Stephanie's voice cracks. I close the door behind me and I look at her under the duvet. I walk towards her and gently sit down next to her on the bed. "I'll get up soon, okay?" She mumbles, she sounds quite frustrated.

"Steph.." I say and she quickly turns around and takes the duvet off her head. She looks horrified at me so I look away.

"Harry?! What are you doing here?!" She panics as she sits up and looks at me in shock. I look back at her and I feel awful, her eyes are red and puffy, and she's quite pale.

"I heard about you, how you're not eating or getting up. Why are you doing this Stephanie?" I ask as I look at her in annoyance. She frowns as she looks away and closes her eyes. I watch her slowly as she opens them again. She inhales deeply and slowly releases the air.

"I'm not doing it on purpose Harry, I've lost my appetite and I have no energy. I feel so rubbish in myself." She says as she looks at me. "I just couldn't face the fact you left me.." She adds and I shake my head.

"I left to have some space Steph. I didn't leave you like we were over.." I say and she shakes her head at me disagreeing.

"Yes you did, you said you had no choice in giving up on us. To me, that's you giving up on our relationship,and therefore you ended it with me.." Stephanie says and I look away. I never realised it came across like that to her, I was desperate to get away from her and to just leave the situation.

"I could never give up on you that quickly Steph." I say and a small smile appears on her face and her eyes start to water. I stand up and I slowly pace the room. "I just had to go. I could feel the anger building inside of me and I didn't want to go mad, especially at you Steph. I wanted to prevent everything from exploding because I know I don't like the person I become when I get angry. I tried to keep that Harry away. " I stop as I look at her.
"But you were suffocating me, the way you wouldn't listen to me properly and the fact you thought I liked Amy and didn't trust me, it frustrated me so much. You do know if I liked Amy I would have gone with her, right?" I ask and she looks away and nods.

"I was just upset Harry. I didn't mean to accuse you of liking her, I was just hurting from her actions." She looks up at me. "Every guy finds her attractive and I knew if she liked you, I'd have no chance in keeping you. I was jealous of her." She wipes a tear and looks away again.

"But I'm not just any guy, I have my own mind." I snap as I feel insulted that she's just putting me in a category to any guy who screws around.

"But you know what guys are like Harry, they have one thing that tempts them and they get caught up in it." Stephanie snaps as she tries to get her point across. I shake my head and frown, what the hell does she expect me to say to that?

"Fine okay. Amy is very attractive and I could have easily don't stuff with her, who knew I could have been in a relationship with the girl. I used to go with girls like her a lot, she's a bit like Naomi who too was very attractive. They know how to handle guys like me, they know what gives me that certain thrill. Especially Naomi, she knew exactly what to do to me and I could rarely take my hands off her-"

"Harry stop! I don't want to hear that! Why the hell would you tell me all of that?" Stephanie cries as she looks away and I hate the sound of her crying.

"Because I thought that's what you wanted to hear? You kept making out that's who I am, so I thought you wanted to know that I was like that. But I'm not anymore, and I need you to understand that." I snap as I sit down and I lean forward away from her.

"Do you not realise what you have said to me Harry? That was uncalled for! How would you like it if I went into detail about me and Jason? Would you like to know how he once made me feel?" She speaks with frustration in her voice.

"Do it! I don't mind if that's what you feel you have to do. Although I've not accused you to be someone that you're not. How would you react if I said you're just like every other girl who just wants attention and likes guys to fight over you?" I ask as I look at her. I know this argument is pointless but she needs to understand that she's got to stop pinning me down to be like every guy who thinks with his dick.

"But I'm not that girl-"

"And I'm not that guy!" I say roughly as i interrupt her. "So if you don't like being accused of being something that you're not then don't do it to me!" I retort as I look away, she falls silent and I know this isn't getting any better. I'm starting to regret coming back here.

"I'm sorry." She says quietly and I look at her as she wipes her eyes. I sigh as I turn my position to face her.

"Steph, I'd never do anything to purposely hurt you. I thought you knew how much you meant to me. The whole reason why I didn't want Amy and I didn't want Naomi was because I wanted you. I was seeing Naomi as you knew, but when I saw you again for the first time, I just wanted to be with you. " I say and she looks at me puzzled.

"Why, if they are so so attractive?" She asks bitterly. I bite my tongue at her sarcasm and I answer her by being as honest as I can.

"Because you're the most beautiful girl to me Steph. No one could ever compete with you, I don't care what you think, but you are the only girl I want and the only one who can make me be myself. I fell in love with you, no one else has ever had that affect on me." I explain and she looks at me in disbelief.

"And I fell in love with you too." She says and we both look away. We've gone around in circles with this chat, there has to be some sort of conclusion that we can make. "I didn't want to lose you and I thought I did. " she adds.

"You wouldn't lose me that easily. Even if I said I didn't want to come back, I know I wouldn't be able to stay away from you." I say and I look down at the floor. She reaches over and takes my hand, I look at her and she softly smiles.

"I wouldn't want you to stay away." She adds and I smile back. " I just want you here with me Harry, I didn't mean to react the way I did. I was just jealous when you told me her words turned you on, it's like everything else you were saying was blocked out. I should have listened to you." She says and she squeezes my hand.

"I only got turned on because I wanted you to say those words to me so badly. I'm finding it hard being around you and I can't do anything that I want too. You drive me crazy Steph.." I say as I smirk hoping she doesn't mind me being a little cheeky. She smirks and let's out a sigh.

"Well that's something else Amy ruined, I was going to surprise you last night. I wanted to make it special when everyone left.." She looks away shyly and I can't help but smile at her words.

"I wish we could have gone through with it, but there's another time," I nudge her and she looks up at me. "No more thinking so negative okay? If this is going to work you have to trust me Stephanie." I say as I lean towards her and kiss the top of her head.

"Yes, I know. I think you've proved I can trust you." She says as she rests her head on my shoulder. I smile as I feel relieved that things have turned out for the better. I really thought things were going to go bad, I was in a mood and Stephanie was depressed, it was moments before we'd clash. But we didn't, and I'm pleased we've come to some sort of understanding.

"I'm going to go back home for a day or so. Just to spend some time with my Mum, I think a little bit of space will help." I reassure her as she pulls away from me and looks up.

"As long as you come back.." She says and I nod as I bite my lip.

"I'll come back if you eat something and you get out of bed. Especially as you're in my bed.." I smirk as she nods to my offer. "How come you're in my bed?" I ask.

"Chloe decided to throw water over me so my beds wet.." Stephanie rolls her eyes and I can't help laugh. "Thank you for coming back." She adds.

"It's okay.." I lean forward and softly kiss her, she kisses me back but I pull away, avoiding the kiss to deepen. She looks a little puzzled and I smile.

"I won't want to leave if we sit here kissing," I smirk and I quickly kiss her again before standing up. "Now, get out of bed and eat!" I say sternly and I leave the room. I head downstairs and I meet the others in the living room.

"Hey.." Lucy says as she looks at me curiously.

"Everything's sorted. I'm going to head home for a little bit, I'll be back before her parents are okay?" I smile and they nod.

"So you both are okay yeah?" Chloe asks and I nod. "Thanks Harry.." She says with a smile.

"Okay, see you soon." I walk out of the living room and I hear them following me. I look up to the top of the stairs to see Stephanie stood there. "I love you." I say as I open the door and I step outside. I smile to myself as I unlock the car and I jump In.

Notes

Sorry this chapter is so short.
I struggled a little bit with what to write.
But now they've talked it through, they've cleared the air and now Harry and Steph can concentrate on strengthening their relationship. It's easy for something to blow out of control when it didn't need too, I think these two are starting to learn the more they talk and listen the easier their relationship will be.

Thank you for reading!
