HARRY'S POV:

*Play Freckles by Kevin Atwater*

I haven't heard from Oakley in about 2 days. I've texted her and called her but she hasn't responded. I'm thinking about going to her apartment, i'm starting to get worried. I was planning on going earlier, but I thought I did something wrong and she just needed space. I've been wracking my brain over and over trying to figure out what I did, but I can't find one flaw. So i'm going to approach her and ask her why she's been MIA.

In the nicest way possible, of course.

I hope she's alright. She doesn't seem to have any family so I know that's not what this is about. Maybe her apartment flooded again and she drown? No, maybe it was something I did? Was I going to fast? Was I to forward? I know she's had a bad past with people, so maybe I did do something.

I'm approaching her door right now. My palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy....I'm nervous alright.

I like that song...

I just hope she doesn't kill me. If I did anything, I just want her to know I didn't mean to and I'm sorry.

Knock.

Knock.

Nothing.

Knock.

Knock.

"Oakley? Are you in there? It's Harry" I call into the wood door.

I hear rustling on the other side and moments later, her door swings open and she crashes into my arms, crying.

"Hey, hey what's wrong? Are you okay?" I ask, looking down at her head on my chest, trying to see her face.

She doesn't answer, just sobs louder and harder into my chest. I hold her, whispering to her that I'm here and she's okay. I walk her backwards into her apartment, still holding onto her.

She doesn't have any furniture left, so I sit on the floor and pull her into my lap.

I'll have to get her some new things. It's the least I could do.

"Baby, you're scaring me. What's wrong?" I ask again. And when she lifts her head up to look me in the eyes, my heart stops and plummets to the bottom of my stomach.

Her glassy, blood shot eyes, stay frozen on my face as  my eyes trail over hers. Cuts and huge, black and blue bruises.

"What the hell happened, Lee?" I ask, taking hold of her face gently and getting a better look. Her face scrunches up again, and she starts to cry again. My own eyes are glassing over, but I can't cry. This is about her, not me.

"It-it was....it was Ian" she sobs, closing her eyes and letting her head drop to my shoulder.

"Ian?"

Shit.

"He was...was at the st-store. I-I was getting f-food and he dragged me out o-of the store, then took me to dinner and- and hit me" she stutters into my shoulder.

"He...he knows where I live" she says, making my heart sink.

"Why didn't you call me when it happened Lee?"

"I got scared" she whispers.

"D-do I scare you?" I hesitantly ask, dreading the answer.

"N-no. I just didn't know h-how you'd react"

"How did you think i would react, baby?"

"T-that it was m-my fault, and I deserve it" she cry's more, leaving my shoulder soaked but I don't mind.

I don't reply right away. How could she think I would think she deserved it? Did I give her that impression?

"It's not. Don't ever think that something like this is you're fault. Do you understand? Absolutely nothing about this is your fault. And don't for one second think that you deserve this, okay?" I tell her, calmly. Choking a little on my words, considering i'm holding in my own sobs.

She doesn't answer, but I know she understands.

What did she ever do to deserve this?

"You're gonna come back and live with me, alright? Is that okay?" I whisper. This whole time, she's still in my lap, my arms wrapped around her lower back and my head rested on hers.

I feel her nod, and a small smile pulls at the corners of my mouth. Happy that she's trusting me, but also a sad smile. Sad because something bad happened to the most perfect human in the world.
