Trust Me

Chapter 21.

Maddy's POV.

With Harry's hand on my thigh, goosebumps all over my body, we enter my mother's driveway. I'm more than relieved that I got that off of my chest. It was eating me inside and although it came out on the wrong time, I'm glad it's over. His words are bothering me though..

"Leave me and be with him."

How can I leave him when we're not even together?

"I can't lose you."

It has been only a few days that we know each other yet, it was the most perfect days of my whole life. Even the little fights and everything that happened, I wouldn't take it back.

Walking towards the front door, Harry puts his hand in the small of my back and just like that, something ignites in me once again. I feel the redness rush to my cheeks as I bite on my lip, trying to hide my smile. Being the gentleman that he is, he knocks on the door. Even though it is my home.

The door slowly opens revealing my mother, fully dressed in a navy dress. Make-up done perfectly and hair tied up. She must have known that Harry would be coming tonight, because I dont think  I've ever seen her so nervous.

"Afternoon Mrs. Scott." Harry says, reaching for my mother's hand, kissing once. "You look lovely."

Kiss up.

Okay, beautiful kiss up.

"Why thank you. Maddy, this one is a keeper." My mother laughs, gesturing for us to enter. I roll my eyes, but can't help the small smile spreading across my lips.

"Maddy I uh.." my mother hesitates. "I'm going out tonight."

A confused frown finds it's way to my forehead as Harry and I take a seat on one of my mother's big brown couches. "Where to?"

"Can we talk about this later?" She asks biting down on her thumb.

"Mom? What's going on?"

"It's nothing, I met someone at-"

"You're going on a date?"

She slightly nods and I swallow the lump in my throat. I bite my cheek, trying to hold back the aching pain and tears trying to spill. "Well, have fun." I finally say after clearing my throat.

I get up, walking towards my bedroom as I hear my mother sigh.

....

A few minutes later I hear a slight knock on my door. Not  waiting for a reply, I see Harry's head popping out from behind the door.

"May I come in?" He whispers, as if, if he says something wrong it will break me.

I nod, holding my legs tightly to my chest. He silently walks towards me, taking a seat on the end of the bed. "You alright?" He asks.

"I feel as if you said that a hundred times today." I laugh, but without humor. His face is straight, but his eyes are sincere. "I'm fine. Dont worry about me.. if you want you can go.."

"Absolutely not." He says remaining his straight face. "Mm not leaving you alone here."

"Harry,  you dont have to-"

"Where's the loo?" 

"Just down the hall." I say pursing my lips, trying to maintain my giggle. "You British people and your vocabulary." I laugh.

He gives me a grin before leaving my room.

....

"You can really-"

"No, no. It's fine." He argues as I roll my eyes at his stubbornness.

"Fine. Just to tell you, you're going to have a restless sleep. The couch isn't really comfortable. Just take my room and I'll sleep in my mother's." I try to convince but fail.

"Dont worry 'bout me, love. I'll be fine." He says taking his tea towards the living room.

"Okay well, goodnight then Harry." I say giving him a small kiss on the cheek. The smell of mint and Cologne fills my nostrils. "Thank you again for today."

"Goodnight Madison. My pleasure." He smiles.

...

Harry's POV.

Madison wasn't kidding when she said this couch was uncomfortable. This is pure torture. Knowing she's on the other side of the wall, probably sleeping. Curled up in her bed sheets, dreaming. While I struggle to close my eyes.

I decide to open my twitter, but I instantly regret it.

@Hxrryforever

"This is shit. She's not even that pretty. Harry you can seriously do better than HER. #StopHaddy"

@TheHrryDonut

"Noo I've been crying for over an hour about this!! She's taking my man :( #StopHaddy"

I close my twitter, trying to go back to sleep, even though I'm upset. Sleep will do me good.

....

My eyes flick open as I try to remain calm. That voice. She's screaming. I jump up, sprinting across the room towards hers.

"Please dont!!" She sounds hurt. I swear if there's someone in there trying to hurt her I'm probably going to jail after.

I burst through her door as I see her, laying there on her bed. Her cheeks are flushed, eyes screwed shut and sweat on her forehead. I run over to her, wrapping my arms around her tightly.

"Shh. It's okay, love. Just a nightmare. Everything's alright." I whisper kissing the top of her head. She's trembling, I can't stand this.

The next thing I knew, I was falling asleep next to her.

Sleeping beauty.
