Night Changes

16.

"Harry wait!" Eleanor grabbed my wrist holding me off as she hung up with Liam shortly after we paused the screen on the women who delivered Asher to my doorstep.

"Eleanor come on we gotta go!" I told her but she didn't budge on coming with me as I pulled at her lightly.

"Harry you are emotional right now, you need a little time to let this sink in. Why don't we go back up to the apartment and talk this through before you go knocking on her door." Eleanor reasoned but I had no room for hearing. I wanted answers and I wanted answers now.

"No." I shook my head breaking her grip and waking out of the back room. She followed quickly behind me as we made our way to the elevator.

"Harry... You're upset I get that but, give it a couple hours before you just show up at this girls doorstep to scare her." Eleanor blocked me pressing the button to our floor instead of floor six.

"I'm not going to scare her, but wasn't it your idea to find this b***h? For Asher's sake? For me to find answers?" I asked her my voice risen from the anger seeping into my veins. I had so much to say to this women and I wanted to get to the bottom of her lies and deception.

"You do need and deserve answers Harry but not like this. Please let's go talk to Liam and set up a plan before we go and knock at her door. She's not going to talk to you if you approach her like this." Eleanor shook her head as we made it to our apartment floor.

"Please." She took my hand pleading with those big kind brown eyes.

"I have to talk to her. I found her and I can't wait around, I have to move." I told her taking back my hand while she stood out the elevator, pushing the button to the sixth floor. I knew exactly where I was going and what apartment number I was going to.

All kinds of things ran through my head now. From the fake names to motives behind the entire situation I began to sweat from frustration. I needed answers and I needed them now. Coming to the floor I walked out and located the door where the women from the tape lives.

Knocking while my eyes cast down I stared at the apartment door number. 621. Hearing rustling on the other end of the door I waited, my heart beat rapid and sweat forming along my hairline. I was a nervous wreck, part of me nervous and the other half full of rage. The door handle twists and is pulled open, my eyes shooting up from my feet to the girl standing before me.

"Harry?" She asked me as if she didn't believe I was standing right in front of her. Her long blonde hair cascading down her shoulders in long beach waves that looked natural falling down her chest.

"Madison." I said back to her, my hands balling into fists to help release my rage that was pumping through me at this point. Her icy blue eyes always catching when she looked at you.

"Harry what are you doing here?" Madison question confused even though this was most likely fake. She knew exactly why I was here.

"Cut the s**t Madison, you know exactly why I'm here so let's get straight to the point." Her face scrunches up as I say this as if she still doesn't get the point.

"Harry, we haven't talked since the hook up, and that was ages ago. If anyone needs to cut the s**t it's you." She sasses folding her arms over her chest looking at me with those icy blue eyes that could kill with just a look. "You played with me for a month and it was all a ploy to get me into bed. So I find it funny how you have the audacity coming back here and telling me to "cut the s**t"."

"This isn't the point Madison, you knew exactly who I was and what my game was. You have no one to blame but yourself because you knew exactly what you were getting yourself into." I pointed not willing to take the blame for Madison's heartbreak. Every girl on campus knew my game and she willingly played just like any other girl.

"You're an asshole!" She went to slam the door, a red tint rising under her cheeks. Catching the door, I wasn't about to let her not talk about this to me.

"Madison what the hell is going on?" I asked her when she looked at me with shock after I had held the door open.

"You keep asking me questions I don't have the damn answers too! Now get out of here!" She spat at me angry that I had showed back up at her doorstep, but what did she expect? She was going to be found out eventually!

"I saw you Madison! I saw you drop him off at my doorstep, you are all over the security footage! So stop playing the innocent card because we both know you aren't!" I shouted at her, not even caring if I was loud enough for the neighbors to hear.

Hesitating before she spoke she froze and gulped putting her hand through her hair as she thought to what I was telling her. She was reeling back and found herself in the middle of this spider web of lies.

"Look Harry..." She started lowering her voice.

"No Madison you look, I need answers and I need them now. Why did you leave him with me?" I asked her still in a rage for as I asked her.

"This isn't what it looks like and trust me I know how it looks." Madison spoke in a normal volumes tone, opposite of her loud volumes just a few seconds ago. She began to lack eye contact as she stared at the floor trying to formulate what to say next.

"Okay than, what does it look like then? Because to me it looks like you left our goddamn baby on my doorstep without any explanation at all! Not only that but you lied about your name not only on the birth certificate but also on the shitty ass note you left me!" All my emotions were coming to a head as I shouted at Madison who was pressing her fingertips to her forehead closing her eyes as I yelled out at her.

"Harry! I wasn't pregnant, I've never been pregnant." Madison confessed once I have her room to talk.

"Oh stop! Just stop it! I saw you on the security tapes!" I shook my head not able to believe that Madison was trying to lie her way out of this once again. I had proof but she was disregarding it.

"Harry! I was doing a favor for a friend! She told me to take the baby to your apartment, so that's what I did. He's not mine, I was only there to deliver him to you." She shook her head, her frustration with me melting a little more from before.

"What?" I felt utterly deflated and wanted to sink to the floor from the dizzy sensation I was feeling.

"I'm sorry about this, but I have nothing to do with what you are looking for. I don't want any part in it either."

"Unfortunately, you made yourself apart of it when you did a "favor" for a friend." I spat at her disgusted with the blonde standing in her doorway.

"Hey, I gotta go so..." I cut her off quickly when I looked back up at her.

"No, what is her name?" I questioned hoping Madison would answer my one question I knew she had the answer to.

"I told her I wouldn't say anything. I can't break her trust." Madison shook her head not giving up a name.

"Madison!" I sighed heavily not wanting to deal with bribing Madison for a name.

"Look Harry either your going or I am. So you choose." Madison flipped her hair taking her keys and phone from a side table next to her.

"All I need is her name!" I pleaded seeing that Madison wasn't about to say a word. Madison was hard to break through, she was tough; something I admired about her.

"You can stay, I'm leaving and you better not be here by the time I get back." She warned slamming her door and pushing me out of her way while strutting to the elevator where she stepped in and left me answer less and alone.

Backing up against the wall across from Madison's apartment I slid down the wall frustrated from the lack of answers. I was no better off than I was before I found out about Madison. There was no new developments except for the fact that Madison knows exactly who Valerie or K is, or whatever her damn name is.

Now that I knew Madison was involved all I could do was look through her friends on f*******:, maybe that could help to narrow down my search. Either that or I had to get Madison to tell me who this girl was. My only tactic I had up my sleeve was to guilt trip her into telling me who K or Valerie was.

I just couldn't believe Madison was brought into this giant mess I called my life. I had done things with Madison so long ago and after working on her, to get her into bed I was finished with her. I threw her away like I did every other girl that gave me what I wanted. I did admire her however, she took time for me to get her to sleep with me. She wasn't one to give it up so easily like all the others I had been with previously.

Gemma was right, I didn't care or even think about how my actions could effect others. In this case I had toyed with Madison and ended up breaking her heart due to my selfish needs and games. I needed to change that and be more conscience to others feelings and the way I act.

I was in the process of changing and no one ever told me how hard it would be. I made a mistake coming at Madison like that and Eleanor was right, I shouldn't have come at her when I was upset. I should have waited to simmer down before I went to talk to her since she is the only one that knew about Valerie s***h K. I had to make things right and fix what I again ruined.

note// Poor Harry thought he was getting answers when really he just has more questions! Do you think Harry could have handled that better?
