Pretend It's Okay (A Jarry Fan Fiction)

Chapter 21

Jade POV

Harry felt silent, looking away.

Guilt was plastered all over his face.

Why was he acting weird? I know that he doesn't want me to get hurt but I was just having a conversation with Cameron and it's nothing to be angry about.

"I-I'm sorry." He said, biting his bottom lip.

"You should be, Harry. Aren't we over this?" I said, raising my voice. 

"I know, I know. I'm sorry. I just want to protect you, that's all."

"Protect me?" I snorted.

"Harry, I'm 21 years old and I can handle things by myself." I added.

"No, you can't." He snap and I glared at him.

"I can, Harry. I can do everything I want. You're just my friend and you don't have the right to boss me around."

Who the hell am I talking to? This is seriously not Harry. This is the first time I saw him being like this. 

"Why? Is it bad for a friend to protect his other friend?" He asked and I fell silent.

Before I can speak he continued talking,

"Is it bad that I want to protect you? I know, I'm sorry for being bossy and all that, but I hope that someday, maybe, just maybe, you'll understand why am I doing this." He said, his eyes pinning me.

I sighed heavily,

"I'm sorry, too, Harry." I said, looking at him.

"I know that you just want to protect me but, please, just don't act like the way you acted earlier, okay?" I said, smiling at him.

He smiled at me and nodded.

"Okay." He said, as he scooted closer, hugging me.

I chuckled and hugged him back.

"You really like hugs, huh?" I joked.

"Uh huh." He chuckled.

We're on our way inside, meeting some of the staffs that are talking about their next photo shoot. To be honest, I'm really happy for Mom, because without her hard work, this isn't happening. 

"Jade!" A voice shouted and I spun around to see Anne. Harry's mom.

"Hi, Anne. Nice to see you." I smiled at her, as she kissed my cheek.

"Nice to see you, too. You look gorgeous tonight." She said, as she eyed me from head to toe and I chuckled.

"Thank you. You look gorgeous tonight, too." I said, smiling at her.

"We're have you been? We've been looking for you and Harry." She said.

"Uh, we we're just outside meeting some great people, right?" I turned to Harry which was standing beside me.

He nodded and smiled.

"Oh. Are you two dating?" She asked and I raised my eyebrow.

She doesn't know?

I turned to Harry and he just shrugged.

"N-No, we aren't." I said.

"Mom, aren't we over this?" Harry said and Anne chuckled.

"Okay okay. Now, let's go over to the kitchen. The dinner is ready." She said, as she head to the kitchen, leaving us behind.

I turned to Harry,
