May POV {one hour before}

"Awe May." Adam says while rubbing my lower back. I managed to say what happened to him. "Fucking prick, can I kill him? My Mom knows people for that." My eyes narrow at him. "Sorry, she's an Italian thug." I would usually laugh, but I don't feel like it. "Did he flat out say everything was a part of the bet?"

"I-I don't remember." I mutter.

"I think there is more too it. C'mon it's Karen." I bite my lip. "Has he tried to text to you?"

"I had to turn off my phone." I mutter.

"Do you want to hear what he has to say?"

"Not now." I say. "I just feel like a fucking idiot."

"May don't-"

"Adam, it's obvious that everything was just too nice. I don't get the nice stuff. I don't get the popular, hot, tall boyfriend."

"Don't say that, May."

"It's true." I mumble.

"Hey, at least you didn't lose your virginity to him." My eyes start to well up and I look away. "You didn't." I cry and he grips onto me. "Awe, May."

"I fucking hate myself." Adam kisses my forehead and holds onto me.

"Don't say that." His hand strokes my hair. "Okay, well you need to let him explain."

"Adam-"

"May, c'mon. I've seen the way he looks at you. I know you're sad right now, but let him talk. Let him explain. I don't think he'd go that low and take your virginity and call it a day. Don't listen to Karen. I just want to shove my foot up her ass."

"Oh god." I mutter.

"What?" Adam asks.

"I'm going to be the laughing stock of school on Monday." I mutter. I sink lower into my bed.

"Maybe she didn't go around--fuck it she's a bitch." Adam sighs. "I'm pretty sure Sadie will say something if that happens. I'm surprised she's nice to you now. I'm still not convinced by that cunt, no offense. I have dear hatred still for still when she said for you to kill yourself." Adam rants. "But, it's good that she's trying."

"Lets see how long that lasts." I mutter. I just press my head against Adam.

My brain is pounding against my head and I just want to sleep. "Can I get you anything?" I shake my head.

"No, I'm good." I say softly. "Thanks for coming over."

"Of course, May." Adam kisses the top of my head. "Just try to think that there is a possibility that Harry has a soul and didn't have the bet for this long."

Harry POV {30 min before}

Her phone is fucking turned off.

I toss it to my bed angrily and tug at my roots.

I can't have May think Karen knows everything, when she doesn't. I just need to explain to her why I didn't tell her for so long. I just need her to know that I love her so much and the deal between Karen I completely forgot about.

"Fuck it." I say harshly under my breath. I slide on my shoes and grab my car keys resting on my desk. I leave my room and rush downstairs.

Sadie opens the door. Her eyes narrow at me. "Isn't it the man of the hour?"

"Is May upstairs."

"Depends." I roll my eyes. "Sadie, please just let me talk to her."

"Why the hell would you make a bet on her?" She asks. "I know I have no place to even be yelling at you for treating her like shit, because that was the only thing I did to her. I made her feel like garbage for no apparent reason. So, the least I can do now is make sure she's not bothered by you."

"If I didn't care about her, why would I be here? Honestly, why would I give a shit if she found out of not?" I ask. "Please, just let me in to talk to her."

"No." Sadie's eyes scowl.

"Sadie, please."

"Did she say she wants to talk to you?"

"Her phone is turned off." I say while running my hand through my hair.

"That sucks then. No access then." My eyes scowl.

"Now you give a shit? Now, out of all times?"

"Gotta start somewhere. And I'm just saying if on Monday I see people laughing at her because of what you and Karen decided would be fun, I will kick you in your balls. And I will make sure you and Karen cry yourselves to sleep."

"I don't give a fucking shit about Karen. She can rot and die somewhere for all I fucking care. I ended the deal between her within two weeks of knowing May. I didn't start dating her until a month after that. Karen knows nothing besides that I hung out with her once." I speak quickly.

"I totally, completely forgot about the whole thing until I remembered when May was sick. I was planning on telling her today myself, and explain why I didn't say anything till now." I bite my lip. "I-I just want to tell her my side, and explain. Then I'll leave."

She opens the door wider for me to fit in. "Adam is upstairs as well so have fun."

Oh god.

I walk past Ellie who is glaring angerily at me.

I see Adam appear from the top of stairs. "Coming to explain?" I nod.

"How is she?" I ask.

"Great. She's laughing, smiling, looks totally not dead in the inside." Adam retorts sarcastically. "I hope to god you have some good excuse to why there was a bet that she didn't know about." I remain silent. "Like seriously, you took her virginity without telling her first? That's true love." My eyes burn with tears and I look away.

"I'll give you sometime alone. Alone meaning two steps down." I nod and open her door.

May POV {present}

"Who let you in?" I ask while staring at Harry who stands a distance away from me.

"Sadie, but she said to make it quick." He says.

"That's great. You can leave now." I say harshly.

"May-"

"Harry I said to leave me alone!" I exclaim with wide eyes.

"May please just-"

"Just what? Fucking listen to your excuses? Leave me the fuck alone. I don't want to see you." I see his eyes well up.

"I-I know you want space right now, and I respect that but I just need to explain. I'll leave you alone after, okay? I promise." I stare at him blankly.

"That night when you were walking to Adam's house because the party was too loud was the day Karen and I made the deal. Please, keep in mind at the time I wasn't who I am now. I didn't know you, or care about anyone else. She saw me talking to you and threatened to tell the whole school some bullshit rumor. Long story short, the deal was made.

Within two weeks, if that I called it off because I actually liked hanging out with you. Karen only knows the time we went to the pizza place with Adam and Ronnie. And that I was planning on hanging out with you soon. That's it. Nothing about is dating, us kissing, us being intimate, nothing.

When I called off the deal between us, I figured I wouldn't tell you because I just thought of you as a friend at the time. Soon, I just forgot about it completely. I never talked to Karen since then about us. Whatever she told you is bullshit.

I remembered about it when you were sick and I was going to clean the pot of soup. The thought of you hating me and never wanting to see my face killed me, just thinking about it. May you mean so much to me, and I never wanted this to happen. I never wanted you too be this hurt or make you doubt everything. I wanted to be the one to tell you. I wanted you to hear it from me and not Karen.

I'm sorry I forgot about it, and I'm sorry I didn't tell you before you let us...I'm just sorry I didn't tell you. But, me saying I love you wasn't a joke. It wasn't part of some shitty deal. I meant it. I still do. I understand if you never want to see me again, but I just wanted to tell you myself everything.

I didn't want to tell you when you were sick because, you were all ill. And I didn't want to do it near Christmas, or at my Christmas party. I was going to tell you though. It honestly kills me seeing you like this. All I want to do is hold you and that's probably the last thing you want. I'm just sorry May. I know this sounds cliche and stupid, but I didn't mean to hurt you.

I didn't know when I called it off months back I would be so in love with you now. I didn't know you'd be the only person who makes me feel this happy. And I'm sorry I ruined everything good between us." He finishes speaking and I feel numb.

I'm so conflicted I don't know what to do. "D-do you want to break up?" Harry asks. "I understand if you do, May. I just want to know where we stand."

"I don't know." I say honestly.

"You can think about it. Take all the time you need." I just nod. His hand reaches to the door knob. "Whatever happens between us, just know that I love you so much. A-and that I genuinely think you're the best thing that's happened to me." I bite my lower lip harshly trying to push back my tears.

Harry shuts the door behind him and I fall back crying.

sorry for making may a typical fan fiction cliche where she doesn't let harry explain, but keep in mind she was hurt and felt like everything was a lie between them . that seemed to piss a lot of you off last chapter that she left without letting him explain. sorry lol
