Chapter 10 - " I'm sick of all these lies"
NOT EDITED
Things had been going crazy for the last two of days. I hadn't left the apartment all that time and I was going crazy.
James and the other guy from the label were planning on what I would say to the media and how I would say it. Truth was, I didn't want to give a speech of anything. I would suck at it.
So we decided I put upload a video on to Youtube explaining everything, lying actually.
" ready Cailin?" James asked as he set up a camera on a tripod.
I nodded.
" everything's gonna be fine" Louis nodded while he sat across from me.
The boys had actually been helping me through all these rumors, even Harry.
When I had left Willow's apartment that night, Harry was still in the car waiting for me. The whole ride home, I cried over the whole situation. I half expected Harry to tell me to shut the hell up, but he didn't. I guess I ended up falling asleep in the car because the next thing I knew it was morning and I was waking up in my own bed.
" 3..2..1" James counted down as he pressed record on the camera.
" First off, hi guys. There been a lot of pictures and rumors circling around about me and I wanted to clarify some of them" I said looking into the camera.
I glanced over and Louis and saw him giving me the thumbs up.
" so a couple pictures got leaked. Most of them are from partying and all sorts. I'm not that kind of girl. I had a friendship that lead me towards that road and I didn't know how to get myself out of that situation" I started to explained.
It pained me to say those things, because known of them were true. Even though my friendship with Willow was over, blaming her for everything wasn't the right thing to do but I had no choice.
" and as a model, sometimes we were manipulated to do certain kinds of photo shoots that I'm not proud of" I continued.
By then, there were already tears in my eyes but not from the information. They were there because of the lies that were coming out of my lips.
" I am now free from those kinds of people who were manipulating and using me. And I'm sorry for disappointing you guys" I finalized as tears streamed down my face.
James stopped recording and tears wouldn't streaming down my face.
" it should be uploaded in a couple of minutes" James said before leaving the room.
Louis got off his seat and sat next to me wrapping his arms around me.
" I'm sick of all these lies" I cried on his shoulder.
" I'm sorry" he apologized.
After a couple of more minutes of crying, I picked myself up from the couch.
" I'll be out for a while" I said to him before walking out the door.
Thankfully my driver was parked in the buildings parking lot so I wouldn't have to deal with the paparazzi.
" where to Miss Reed?" he asked as he drove out of the parking lot.
" Mary Jane Hospital" I said wiping my tears away.
Half an hour later he stopped the car in front of the main doorway. I walked into the hospital and made my way to the front desk.
" I'm a visitor for room 302" I said to the receptionist.
" and you are?" she said as she kept her eyes on the computer monitor.
" Cailin!" I heard my name being called out from across the lobby.
I looked over to see Cathy, the nurse I had known for years.
" Cathy" I smiled.
" she's all set Lilian" Cathy nodded towards the receptionist. The receptionist quickly gave me a pass and Cathy started walking me down the hall.
" I haven't seen you in months" Cathy said.
" I've been busy" I said ashamed at how much time I hadn't come by.
" my daughter showed me an article about you" she smiled.
" about?" I asked worried they were about the pictures.
" you joined a british band and you didn't even tell me" she playfully glared.
" it's been a lot to take in" I smiled.
" I bet your dad misses you" Cathy nodded just as we reached his room.
" I know" I said to her as I walked into room 302.
My dad was laying on the bed the exact same way I had last seen him. In the exact same room for the past seven years.
" hi dad" I said to him not expecting an answer.
He had been in an accident that caused him to be in a coma. Normally doctors would have pulled his tubes out after a while but they believed he could wake up one day.
I just hoped that day would come sooner. I missed having my best friend around.
" sorry I haven't been coming by. I have some news for you" I smiled.
I took a seat on a chair next to his bed and held his hand.
" I guess you could say my dreams came true. I'm signed as a recording artist. I'm in a band but it makes it all that much better. Everything's great" I faked a smile.
Truthfully I just didn't want to give him any bad news. There was a possibility he could hear me and he deserved only good news.
" mom still deluded out of her mind. She told me she's marrying this rich guy back home, but we both know how she is, she'll never go through it. Honestly I think she's still waiting for you to wake up and scoop her off her feet, like I am" I confessed.
I wished my mom would go back to the woman she was when my dad wasn't in this coma. After the accident she became this woman obsessed with herself. She got a different fiance every six months. Before I used to get mad but now it doesn't even phase me. I know she won't go through with it.
" I'll visit more often dad" I promised.
As soon as those words left my lips, a shoe squeak came from the doorway.
I expected it to be Cathy but as soon as I looked up it clearly wasn't her.
" what are you doing here?" I asked as I stood up from the chair.
" I followed you here" Harry said as he looked over at my dad.
" why?" I asked.
" I don't know" he shrugged.
Then a sudden realization hit me.
" you were worried about me weren't you" a smile crept on my face.
" just making sure you don't do anything stupid" Harry glared.
" we should go" I said to him before looking back at my dad.
I gave him a light kiss on the forehead and walked out of the hospital room with Harry.
" that was your dad?" he asked as we walked through the lobby.
I nodded.
" I don't want to talk about it" I shrugged.
When we got outside, the car with my driver was nowhere in sight.
" where's the driver?" I asked, not specifically to Harry.
" I sent him back to the city" Harry shrugged.
" why would you do that?" I yelled.
" I thought a walk home would be good for you" Harry smiled.
" you're kidding?"
Harry shook his head and started walking away from me.
" you asshole!" I shouted at him.
Harry walked over to a motorcycle and got on it. Since when dis he have a motorcycle? I had never seen him on it.
" it's hours walking Harry" I glared.
" see ya" he smirked before putting in the helmet and starting the bike.
He wouldn't leave me. He wouldn't.
But I was wrong. Harry drove away on his bike and left me stranded there.
" jerk!" I screamed out throwing my shoe towards him. But of course he was already to far away and my aim was horrible.
Since I had left my phone in the car, the only option I had was actually walking. Maybe I could get on a bus if one drove by.
How could Harry do this to me? Then again I should have expect this from him.
The noise from a motorcycle caught my attention as I saw Harry riding towards me.
" did you really think I would leave you out here?" he smirked as he stopped right next to me.
He took off his helmet and handed it to me.
" you are unbelievable" I glared before getting on behind him.
As Harry started up the bike again, I wrapped my arms around Harry's waist and felt him tighten. Maybe he didn't want to hold on to him that much.
I loosened my grip held on only on his sides. Immediately he grabbed one my arms one at a time and wrapped them around his waist again.
" you don't want to fall" he mumbled.
I had a sudden feelung that this wasn't about just me falling, but maybe he just wanted me to hold on to him.
My mind was starting to play tricks on me and I hated myself for it.
" where do you wanna go?" he asked.
" I'm starving" I confessed.
Harry nodded and starting to ride off. I had only been on a motorcycle a few times in my life. Most of them were for photo shoots to be honest.
But there was a rush I got when Harry rode the bike with me on it that I just couldn't explain. I loved the wind against me and the speed to go along with it.
Minutes later Harry parked in front of a little cafe. I got off the bike and handed him the helmet.
" Callie's Cafe?" I asked as I looked up at the sign.
" it's a nice place" Harry shrugged.
The outside was cute. It had only two tables on the outside and a couple chairs. It was decorated was lily's, my favorite flower.
Not somewhere I'd ever imagine Harry going to. I'd imagine him going to a Starbucks or a Dunkin' Donuts, not a cute little cafe.
" what can I get you today?" the cashier asked as we walked over to the counter.
" the usual" Harry said looking down at his phone.
The cashier typed something in on the screen and then she looked at me. I had no idea what to get. I looked at the board but couldn't decide.
" she'll have the same" Harry said annoyed.
In that moment I knew his mood had already changed, for the worst.
Harry paid for our orders and I couldn't go against it since I didn't have my wallet on me. Harry had ended up ordering a me an ice coffee and a sub sandwich. The ice coffee wasn't my favorite since it was only made with cream and sugar and I usually order it with milk and cookie dough swirl.
I didn't want to worsen Harry's mood so I stayed quiet eating my sandwich.
" excuse me?" I heard a little voice say.
I looked up to see two girls smiling with their eyes sparkling.
" can we take a picture with you two?" the other one asked.
Harry got up from his seat and gently took their camera phone from theirs hands, motioning them to get closer to me. I got up and smiled at them. We posed for a photo. For some reason it took a while for Harry to take the picture.
" having a little trouble there Harry?" I teased.
The girls beside me laughed.
" your battery died" Harry said to the girls.
" no way" one of the girls said beside me. " give him your phone Stacy"
" I forgot mine at home" she whined.
Harry took out his phone and looked up at us again.
" I'll take it on mine and post it on Instagram so you guys can take it" he nodded.
" you would do that?" they smiled.
He nodded and positioned his phone and took the picture. Harry handed me his phone and I took the picture.
" thank you so much" one of them said and hugged him goodbye.
They both left giggling and jumping happily.
" that was nice of you" I smiled.
Out of the corner of my eye I could see camera flashes. I looked over to the windows and saw paparazzi flashing their cameras towards us.
" we should go" Harry said looking at the cameras.
" make a run for it?" I smirked up at him.
" definitely" he smirked.
He hand me his helmet and we ran out the cafe and out his bike. Before I knew it we were riding towards nowhere and that was exactly how I liked it.
