May POV

"What the fuck?!" Harry says loudly.

"Shh." I say to him.

"He said that to you?" He asks me.

"Yeah." I sit on my bed.

"He's with your sister."

"I know." I run my fingers through my hair. "I just wanted to tell you, because you said too."

"Now it must be true that he's cheating on Sadie." Harry sits down behind me.

"Okay. So, how was your weekend?" His eyebrows furrow. "Do you expect me to care if she gets cheated on?" I ask.

"I don't know, it doesn't bother you?"

"Why would it?" I ask.

"Fuck you Todd!" I hear Sadie shout loudly making me jump. Harry's looks to me and picks his lip. Her feet stomp upstairs and her bedroom door slams.

His phone beeps and it's from Sadie saying to come over.

"Can I go pretend to come over to see what she needs?" He just came over 5 minutes ago. "May-"

"No, yeah. Go ahead." I smile gently.

"She's my best friend."

"I know, so go comfort her or whatever."

"Then why do you look like I killed your dog?"

"You just came over 5 minutes ago and I haven't seen you in three days, because you've been busy with your history project and whatever."

"But Sadie has something going on and she needs me."

"That's why I said you can go, you asked me why I look like you killed my nonexistent dog."

"I'll make it up to you."

"It's fine." I say. "I'll text to you later." He pecks my lips.

"You look like you hate me."

"I don't hate you." He kisses me again.

"Thank you for understanding." I smile gently.

"Yep." I murmur. He stands up and he opens my door and walks out shutting it slowly behind him.

I lay down and frown.

***

I'm currently making Mac and Cheese. I stir the noodles and wait for them to cook.

I turn around and see Sadie. Her eyes are puffy and red looking. Harry looks at me and I look away.

"M-mom called. She said uh, h-her and dad will be home t-tomorrow at ten."

"In the morning?"

"No, at night." Sadie nods. She wipes her eyes and Harry squeezes her shoulder.

I make my Mac and cheese and they talk amongst themselves. Once I'm done I make myself a bowl and put the rest in the fridge.

"Hey." I hear Harry's voice say. He closes my door behind himself. His hand goes through his hair.

"Hi." I say. I'm sitting at my desk finishing my history paper. Harry stands beside me and leans his back against my desk.

"Did you want to go out?"

"I have to finish my paper." I say while looking up at him.

"Take a break?"

"I just want to finish this. Another time." He huffs. I go back to typing and his fingers play with the ends of my hair. "Why aren't you with Sadie?"

"She fell asleep." I chuckle. "What?"

"You're only in here because she fell asleep." I say with laughter in my voice. His eyes burn on me. "What, is that not true?"

"Does it have to matter that she fell asleep?"

"I'm just saying." I stop typing and look at Harry who looks annoyed.

"Are you pissed at me because I went to see what she was upset about?"

"I told you I wasn't."

"Your tone says otherwise." His eyes scowl.

"My tone is the same as it's always is." I quickly defend.

"Uhuh, okay." I roll my eyes. "May, if the roles were switched you'd understand."

"If I was best friends with your sister and she needed me?" I ask.

"Yeah."

"Does your sister hate you and make fun of you too?"

"Is this what this is about?" Harry asks while looking at me.

"You said if the roles were switched, I just brought up a detail." His eyes scowl at me.

"If Adam needed you when we're together I'd understand, why can't you?"

"I'm not complaining."

"You look mad."

"This is my face, I'm sorry." I groan.

"May, just tell me if you're mad at me. Don't just be an ass when I talk to you and try to see what's wrong." I save my work and close my laptop screen. I stand up and huff.

"I'm not mad." I say.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes." My eyes widen at him. "Anything else?" His eyes darken.

"You're dismissing me now?"

"I'm not dismissing you. I'm asking if there is anything else."

"Which sounds dismissive." Harry says. I bite down on my jaw.

"I'm not dismissing you. I'm sorry me talking sounds like that."

"You're angry at me." I open my mouth to speak but he continues speaking. "When it comes down to Sadie or you, I pick Sadie. She's my best friend since I was 5. And you're just some girl I started talking to for what? Four months?"

I don't know whether to feel mad or sad. My hormones are all fucked up because I'm still on my very long, painful period.

I feel my eyes sting and I stare at him. "Fine, you pick Sadie. Now leave me alone."

"It's the same if it comes down to me and Adam for you."

"Stop assuming that I think the same as you! I don't choose between the people in my life because they all mean something to me in a different way. But, no I'm just some girl to you. Just fuck off and go back to Sadie."

"May-"

"What? I shouldn't have even expected anything else from you."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Every girl you go out with doesn't mean jack shit to you, why would I be any different?"

"Stop talking like that." His voice is defensive.

"Can you just go now?"

"No, because we're arguing." His hand runs through his hair. "I'm sorry that what I said hurt your feelings. But my friends come before whoever I'm with. That's how I am."

"Yeah, I got the memo, thanks." I snap.

"Sadie just found out that Todd has been cheating on her for six months! Why would I not care about that?"

"Why would I care about that? She fucking deserves it! She's a shitty person who deserves to rot in hell." I finally break. His eyes darken at me. "Oh, you're mad at me? What the fuck do you expect! You want me to bake her cookies and comfort her? Piss off. She makes my life a living hell everyday but that doesn't matter right? She can tell me to kill myself and that's okay. But when I say that she deserves to get cheated on you look like hulk?"

His runs his hands down his face and shrugs. "Stop." Harry groans.

"I'm not doing anything but being honest. We're not even a couple and we're talking like we're one. You're right, I'm just some girl to you."

"What do you mean we're not a couple?" Harry asks.

"We never said that we were." His eyes scowl.

"Really? I had to make it official?"

"No you fucking dick. I'm just saying we never said what we were."

"I just assumed that we both kinda just felt the same."

"Great to know." I mutter.

"You both hate each other and it's hard to be on each side all the time."

"Well, you already picked Sadie so who cares?"

"I said if it comes down to it." I feel my eyes sting again.

"So, when she finds out about us you'll pick her?" I ask. I feel my eyes cloud with tears. "Then why are we even together?"

"That's not what I mean." He steps closer to me. I wipe my eyes. "Please don't cry."

"I'm not." I growl.

His hands stroke my cheeks and I stiffen. "When I say I pick Sadie, I mean it as if we're hanging out and she needs me I'm hers. That does not apply when it comes down to us being together."

"Why couldn't you just say that in fucking beginning?" I ask, my voice annoyed.

"I didn't know you'd think that otherwise." I narrow my eyes at him. I shake my head and look away from his stare. "Are you still on your period?"

"Why does everything have to be about a women's period when they're mad?" I ask. His head tilts at me. "Don't give me that look."

"I can't look at you?"

"You're giving me a guilty look."

"I'm sorry." Harry kisses the top of my head. "You're not just some girl to me."

"Yes I am."

"No you're not."

"I'm just some girl you've talked to for four months."

"May-"

"You couldn't even say dated? Talked? Really?"

"I get it, I fucked up."

"No shit." I hear him snicker.

"You're cute."

"No I'm not." I say.

"Are you mad at me?"

"Yes." I say. "Why wouldn't I be?" I ask. "First of all you assault me with my period thing, which should've been a given, you say all this shit about Sadie that I forgot because she's irrelevant, you say some girl, and talking, and you didn't even bring my fries and shake you promised almost a week ago.

I was fucking hot as shit all day because someone doesn't like me wearing a shirt. I have fucking boobs and you want me to hide them like I can control how big they are. Should I wrap them for now on to please you?"

"I'll get you your food." He snickers.

"Now you're laughing at me? That's not going to get me to forgive you."

"May?"

"What?" I ask.

"I'm sorry I wasn't clear." I look away from his stare.

I feel his lips touch my cheek. "I don't want your kisses." He kisses my cheek again and I nudge him. "Stop, I'll call the cops on you and say you're assaulting me." Harry laughs and I roll my eyes.

"Okay, I'll leave you alone now."

"Okay." I say, looking at him.

My phone beeps and I groan. I reach over and see it's an unknown number.

425-890-0045: is this May? It's Todd..

I feel my face heat and my nerves hit me. How'd he get my number? What does he want?

"Who is it?" He looks over my shoulder and looks to me. "You gave him your number?" Harry asks.

"No!" I say automatically. His eyes look at me. "You think I'd give him my number? Yeah totally I'll mess around with Todd and not you."

"I'm just asking May." Harry says.

"But you thought I'd cheat on you? Really?"

"I didn't say that. It was a question." I look away from him and to my phone. "But what are you going to say to him?"

"Nothing." I lock my phone.

"Okay." Harry says. "Let me know if he texts you again."

"Will do." He leans down and quickly pecks my lips making me scowl my eyes at him.

"Bye baby." My eyes roll. I'm still mad at that bitch.
