Tearing Down Walls 24

Chapter 24 Havannah

The day of the concert came and went. All the boys were upset because I wouldn’t go, but I told them I would go with them to the airport. I wasn’t prepared for this. I couldn’t send him away without settling this between us. We all rode to the airport Louis drove and Paul sat in the passenger seat. Liam, Zayn, Niall, and Kat sat in the middle seat purposely leaving me and the pompous ass himself in the back. The boys, Paul, and Kat were in a conversation and I looked over at Harry. His green eyes were dull and you could see the guilt welling up in them. I have never seen anyone else so miserable besides my mom. I toyed with his note in my pocket. I had to start forgiving people. I couldn’t depend on me and only me forever. I sighed. “Harry.” His name caught in my throat already making this difficult, but his head snapped up.

            “Yeah?”

            “Please, don’t ever do that to me again.” I smiled weakly and scooted over to him. He wrapped me in his arms and the familiar scent enveloped me. I laid my head against his chest and curled up in a ball on his lap. He smiled down at me. “I’m coming for Christmas. You asked for a chance to let you prove that you love me and this is it.” I took out his note and he smiled confidently.

            “You know,” He paused. “I really miss you.” I smiled and ran my fingers through his hair. I linked my arms around his neck.

            “I miss you too.” His lips crushed against mine. The kiss immediately deepened. I smiled knowing he missed it as much as I did. Harry has this thing about him that makes him forgivable. I didn’t want to stop kissing him. I just felt like if I let go I would lose him again. We broke off for air and he lifted my chin, so I could face him. I noticed that his eyes were now a bright sparkling green.

            “I am terribly sorry. I never meant to hurt you.” He started to cry and I smiled. I wiped away his tears and forced him to look at me.

            “I know that now.” I said before gently pressing my lips against his. I felt him smile as his grip on me tightened.

            “Aw!” Kat exclaimed. I gave her a death glare before everyone else turned around to see what she was talking about.

            “Are you guys together again?” Liam asked. Harry looked at me as if to say it was my choice. I smiled and nodded probably like an idiot.

            “Finally!” Louis screamed causing everyone to smile. Kat looked at Harry.

            “If you hurt her again I will cut your balls off.” She said smiling sweetly. He looked down at me.

            “I won’t” he said softly before kissing my forehead.

            We all trudged into the airport. Kat and I didn’t want the boys to leave and they didn’t want to go. Flight 56 to London boarding in ten minutes. We stopped in front of their entrance gate. Kat was already saying her goodbyes when I walked over to Liam and hugged him. “Bye.” He smiled.

            “Bye love.” He squeezed me before picking up his luggage. I walked over to Zayn next.

            “Bye.” I smiled. He put his hands on my shoulders.

            “Make sure you eat.” He said seriously. I nodded and hugged him. Niall was waiting for me with open arms.

            “Bye Nialler.” I said as he rocked me back and forth. I remember when he found me on the bathroom floor covered in blood and with a killer headache. I made him promise not to tell anyone especially Harry. He gently touched my arms where my scar was hidden under my sleeve. I saw sadness fill his eyes. I made him look at me. “Will you do me a favor?” he nodded. “Will you keep an eye on Harry?” he must have heard the desperation in my voice because he hugged me again.

            “Of course love.” I smiled.

            “Thanks Niall, for everything.” He nodded understanding what I meant. I turned around to find Louis pretending like he didn’t see me. I laughed.

            “Come on Loser.” He smiled and basically jumped into my arms.

            “I’m going to miss you so so so much.” He said dramatically. I rolled my eyes but played along.

            “As will I.I don’t know how I’ll get through each day without you there to jump out from behind every single damn door.” I said breaking character towards the end. He just smiled and walked away. I felt arms wrap around my waist. I looked up at Harry’s face and smiled. I reached up to play with his curls when he grabbed my arm.

            “What’s this?” his expression was a mixture between worry, anger, and just plain scared. I tried to pull my arm out of his grip, but failed miserably.

            “It’s nothing.” I forgot about how close up the scar was.

            “Don’t tell me you did this because of me.” His voice was pleading. When I didn’t answer him he sighed. “I’m so so sorry.” He pulled me close to him and lifted my chin. “Don’t ever hurt yourself because of me. I’m not worth it. Nothing is.” I rested my head against his chest and listened to his heartbeat. Flight 56 to London is now boarding. I let go of him and stepped back. I looked at him. What?” he asked smiling.

            “Oh nothing.” I turned away from him. “I just thought if you are good while we’re separated you might get an extra special Christmas present.” I threw over my shoulder while I was walking away. I was suddenly pulled to a stop and spun around.

            “Christmas time you’ll be in my home. So it will be my game.” He winked. I laughed.

            “Oh Stlyes. It takes two to play a game, especially this one.” His mouth dropped, but he quickly recovered. He was about to say something when Paul interrupted him.

            “Styles let’s go!” he kissed me and held my face.

            “I love you.” He smiled before walking away and disappearing into the entrance gate.

            “I love you too.” I whispered as a tear slid down my cheek. I felt someone intertwine their fingers with mine. I turned to see Kat standing beside me. She gave me a reassuring hug.

            “Come on. Let’s go get food!” I left wanting school to go faster so I could see him again. I wanted to tease him some more since he clearly didn’t know what to say when I did. I smiled thinking I have all this time to think of comebacks. He’s not going to be ready for this.
