Hooked For Good

Afraid

Heyo! I wanted to get this chappy out tonight bc I start school tomorrow, and chapters will be much slower. Here's a general idea of what I have planned: more angst, more action, more wtf moments. Anyway, enjoy the resolution to a really messed up issue!

Harry's POV

After hours of uneasy sleep, I was awoken by a biting chill all over my head and neck. I flipped onto my back with a groan and squinted my eyes against the harsh light while the silhouettes of my sisters blurred into my vision. Once they caught sight of my face, I heard CJ stifle a laugh while Harriet whistled in amazement. I could tell they were amused by my throbbing eye, and I was sure I had an impressive shiner. Harriet was crouching above my head, and CJ was standing right above me, holding an empty water bottle. Now I knew how they woke me up.

"How'd you guys even get in here?" I asked as I shielded my eyes against the light, "What time is it?"

"Family key card, and 6:30am," Answered CJ cheerily. Harriet picked up right after her in a flatter tone, "Here's a better question: Where's Uma?"

My heart ached as I remembered the night before. Heated confessions, a lot of one-sided yelling, and then a door clicking shut. Uma left me last night, so my guess would have been that she'd gone back to their room. However, if that had been the case, Harriet and CJ wouldn't be here. I rubbed my eyes and answered honestly, "I don't know."

"Well, that's a problem," Harriet stated as-a-matter-of-factly as I sat up. I was trying to think about where my Captain could have gone when CJ asked out of the blue, "Did she tell you about Cotillion?

I pulled my hands away from my eyes, but a dark look had descended upon them. Yeah, she told me about Cotillion, and then I had to tell her about Neverland. How did she know that I knew something happened in Neverland? Oh, right. You two told her.

Harriet was the closest one to me, so I pounced at her, pushing her against the ground by her shoulders. When the three of us use to wrestle as kids, we would be laughing maniacally like the villains-in-training we were, but we weren't laughing this time. I was livid. I was furious. Harriet was minorly startled by my outburst, but she wasn't scared in the slightest.

"How could you tell Uma about Neverland?!" I roared at my sister, and she remained unfazed. She furrowed her eyebrows with a knowing smirk and replied plainly, "We didn't tell her anything."

"But you said that I knew about it!" I countered. CJ grabbed my shoulders and pulled me up and onto my feet while Harriet also stood up. I shrugged out of CJ's grasp and jabbed an accusing finger at both of them, "You went back on our alibi, and now Uma hates me."

"Is that why it looks like a truck hit your face?" CJ inquired curiously, and I shot her a mean glare. My black eye must have been really bad. I wasn't sure my coach would believe the door story anymore.

"At least you guys aren't hiding anything anymore," Harriet offered, crossing her arms over her chest. Neither of them knew about what happened in the Neverland resort suite, so they thought much lighter of the situation, "She kissed you at Cotillion, you locked lips with her at the Luau. What's she so mad about?"

"It's because I-!" I slammed my mouth shut and sighed my frustration through my nose before I could finish the statement. I kept that night a secret from everybody, but telling my sisters was just as awkward as telling Uma, if not more. A tense silence filled the air, and I watched the gears turn in Harriet's head while CJ kept a blank look. The former cracked a smirk and inquired slyly, "You fooled around with her, didn't you?"

I sighed again and pressed my lips into a straight line. Harriet gave CJ a nudge, and then the two started exchanging suggestive winks and cooing noises that overall just made me uncomfortable. I was about to try and defend myself when the three of us turned silent at the sound of knocking at the door.
