♔Irreversible♕

“Washington DC Police. Open up.”

“Shit” Harry groaned, releasing my hands.

He wiped the blood from his upper lip and ran to the door.

“Is there a problem officers?” he asked, leaning against the door frame.

I quickly covered myself and got off the table.

“There was a domestic violence incident that was called in about 20 minutes ago. We were told that there was a young woman in distress.”

Harry rolled his eyes.

“It also seems like you sir need some medical attention.”

“Oh this?” Harry pointed to his face. “I’ll survive. Just a couple scratches.”

“Do you mind if we search the property sir?”

“Do you have a warrant?” he asked, crossing his arms.

The two officers looked at eachother and then back at Harry.

“We believe that there is a young woman inside who is in danger.”

“Mel.” Harry called, gesturing for me to show that I wasn’t hurt.

I don’t really know what happened but Harry just snapped at me, we got into a huge fight and then had great sex. It was the strangest thing. I wasn’t mad at him. I wasn’t upset anymore. I was actually in a great mood.

Standing behind Harry, I waved to the police. They then apologized and told us both to have a goodnight. Harry shut the door and turned to me.

“What the fuck just happened?” I asked, wrapping my arms around his body.

“I have no idea.”

We both stood their in silence. I placed my hand on his cheek and looked at his wounds.

“You need to go get that check out.” I said, feeling horribly for smashing his face.

Harry said nothing.

“I don’t think I’ve even, in my entire life, have ever been that mad.” he started. “Melody Hutson, you drive me fucking crazy but boy, do I fucking love you.”

I blushed and looked down at my feet.

“I love you too. I’m sorry.” I apologize, squeezing him tighter.

He kissed me softly on the forehead.

“I need to clean these cuts.” he said, grabbing my hand and leading me upstairs.

I crawled into bed as Harry washed his face.

“I sorry.” I repeated.

“No, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have left for that long.”

Harry finished cleaning up his face and proceeded to clean up the broken lamp on the floor and bed. I sat their, waiting patiently for him to finish.

He finally crawled into bed. I snuggled close to his body and fell right asleep.

Harry’s POV
My phone buzzed violently. I looked at the clock. 12:11pm. Fuck, I slept right through my morning meetings. I carefully untangled myself from Mel and hurried to get dressed. Mel’s eyes slowly opened.

“Harry?” she asked, sitting up.

I rushed to her side and kissed her on the cheek.

“I have to go into the office.”

A wave of sadness washed over her face.

“I’m sorry.” I said, grabbing her hands.

“It’s okay.” she replied, looking at her feet.

“Let’s go to New York tonight.”

A small smiled formed as she looked at me.

“Really?”

“Really.” I replied.

She hugged me tightly. I promised her that I’d be back soon and that we would leave after we both finished packing. I kissed her goodbye one last time and ran out the door.

I got to the office 20 minutes later and was bombarded with missed messages.

“Your father called.” Liam said, handing me a note as I sat down at my desk.

He looked at my freshly bruised face with wide eyes.

“What did he want?” I asked, crumpling up the note and tossing it in the trash.

“He said something about making the right decision.”

Great, now my father was trying to get the guys involved.

“I’ll explain another day.” I said, excusing Liam from my office.

I went to the rest of my meetings and pushed everything else I needed to do onto the guys. I called them to a meeting. I knew they were going to give me shit about my face.

“I got into a fight, don’t ask. That’s not what this is about anyways. I need to take some time off.” I started. “I know that this is a busy time but I need to start thinking about my future.”

“What happened to you?” Niall asked.

“He FELL in love!” Louis teased.

“Shut the fuck up dickhead.”

“It’s true. Harry ‘bad boy I don’t believe in marriage’ Styles has met someone.” Liam added while laughing.

“When’s the wedding?” Niall laughed.

I rolled my eyes and hid my smiled. Thinking about Mel just made me melt.

“This has nothing to do with a girl.”

“So who did you have Zayn babysitting last night?” Louis said, nudging my side.

“A friend.”

“Mellie is more than just a friend.” Zayn blurted. “She’s your girlfriend.”

I stood there in silence. I’ve never called any girl I’ve ever been with my girlfriend. Okay, Kendall started using labels the first day she saw me. I didn’t choose to sleep with such a bitch.

Kendall and I were just fuck buddies at first. Then she got attached over the two years of on and off again friends with benefits. The she started talking about how good we looked and then we were engaged.

“Not the point of why I called you all here. I’m going to take a few months off and I want you 4 to run the company.”

They all started with wide eyes.

“This doesn’t mean you can all just go crazy. Any major decisions will still be made by me. I just won’t be coming to meetings or meeting with clients. That will be you 4’s job.”

“So we split the work 4 ways?”

“That’s up to you guys to decide.”

Mellie’s POV
After Harry left, I laid back down and drifted back to sleep. An hour or so later, I was woken up by a small knock on the front door. I adjusted my night shirt and hurried to answer it. I quickly opened the door.

“Mother?” I questioned in complete shock. “What are you doing here?”

“We need to talk.” my mother said, looking over my shoulder at the mess Harry and I made the night before.

She looked at me up and down.

“What happened?” she pried, pointing to the wounds.

I had major bruising on my arms and legs along with a few scratches on my neck.

“Nothing, it was a stupid fight.”

My mother pushed past me, inviting herself inside.

“I think it’s time we come to an agreement.”

“About?” I asked.

“This Harry boy.”

“What are you suggesting?” I questioned, sitting down at the kitchen table.

She sat down next to me.

“Well you’ve made your choice. I guess you ‘chose’ him. As a family, we still need to make appearances. It’s really hurting your father's career to not have you at these events.”

“I honestly don’t care.” I crossed my arms. “All you people seem to care about to physical appearance. I’m done being your show pony.”

“You’re going to choose a boy over your own family?” she asked, pursing her lips.

“I am choosing my happiness over you. Harry and I are going to start a new life together whether you like it or not.”

“So you’re just done with us?” she asked. “I’m so disappointed in you.”

“I’m not a child anymore. You can’t just say you’re disappointed in me and expect me to come crying back to you. I’m making my own decisions from now on. I’ve decided to not be apart of your ‘family’.”

She stood up and smoothed her skirt.

“Then this is your choice. I only ask one thing of you.”

“What?” I asked.

“Will you please come to christmas dinner? Your grandmother would love to see you.”

“I'll think about it.”

She nodded her head and left. I was so emotionally drained, I couldn’t cry. All my tears were gone. I took a deep breath. It’s okay Melody, you are gonna go upstairs and pack your things. You’re moving tomorrow. You get to start fresh. You get to see Nat! Just think of all the new experiences you’ll have.

I ran upstairs and started packing.

3 Hours Later
“Mel!” Harry called. “You ready?”

“Just about.” I replied back.

Harry took my suitcases down to the car and had just finished loading his own stuff up. Me on the other hand, I took forever to decide on what to wear so I was running a little behind.

“I’m leaving.” Harry whined, tapping his foot.

I grabbed my purse and ran downstairs.

“Ready!”

He chucked and rolled his eyes. For one last time, Harry shut the door behind us.

“Goodbye, DC,” Harry started.

“Hello New York.” I finished.

I linked my arm with his as we took the elevator down. Of course here were still people taking pictures and asking where we were going. Harry turn to everyone right before reaching the car. A hush fell over the crowd.

He grabbed my face and kissed my passionately.

“Fuck you Kendall.” he whispered in my ear.

He opened the car door and helped me inside. Harry had the car take us to the private part of the airport.

“You have a plane?” I asked, looking round.

“You think I’m going to fuel up the plane for an hour and a half flight? God no.”

Harry gestured towards a black helicopter.

“We’re taking that.” he whispered in my ear.

A helicopter? We were going to take a fucking helicopter? I had been on private jets and even got to take a ride on Air Force One but never anything like this. Harry grabbed my hand and followed the pilot to the helicopter.

This was going to be one hell of a ride.
