Stockholm Syndrome

Chapter One

Kaegan's POV

After we got to Harry's apartment, he grabbed his phone and some money and we called for a taxi to take us to where we wanted to go. He knew some really cool places to go.

On the ride there, we both sat in the back. I sat on one side and him on the other, but it didn't stay like that for long. He scooted into the middle and tried to put his arm around me.

"Umm...I have a boyfriend back home," I told him.

"That doesn't bother me," he said, with this really sly and kinda sexy smile on his face.

"No really. I promised nothing would happen."

"He doesn't have to know what we do."

"Yes he does. Now please go sit back where you were."

"No"

I pushed him back to his seat. He looked hurt. I promised Bryan nothing would happen and I planned to keep that promise. The rest of the ride was quiet.

I kept my distance while we explored but it was hard when Harry kept getting closer and trying to hold my hand. I had to keep reminding him that I had a boyfriend. He still didn't back down.

"Harry please," I pleaded.

"Come on! It'll be fun just the two of us," Harry said giving me his best puppy-dog face.

"N-O! NO!!" I half screamed pulling more attention to us than I had wanted.

"That hurt," he whimpered. A tear rolled down his cheek but he quickly wiped it away. "I really like you."

"I'm sorry but I really love Bryan and I don't want to hurt him," I told him.

"Well did you ever consider my feelings!? You really hurt me!" Harry screamed, tears now running down his face.

"Harry! Please," I said. I reached out to lay a hand on his back but he jerked away.

"Leave me alone," he said. He took off down the street.

I ran after him and eventually caught up to him.

"Let's go back to the hotel and maybe we can watch a movie or something," I suggested.

"Ok. I guess."

Harry called a taxi and we went back to the hotel.

I put my purse in my room and headed over to Harry's. His room was the same as mine. There was only one bed so we shared the bed. I made sure he didn't try anything. He put in Home Alone and we laughed quite a bit. By the time it was done it was nearly time for supper.

"Wanna go down to the dinner and grab something to eat?" I asked.

"Ya sure," Harry answered.

We ate fairly quickly and headed back to the hotel. The evening air felt nice compared to how hot it had gotten during the day.

"Do you want some of the left over popcorn?" Harry asked when we got back up to our rooms.

"Ya sure," I said and walked into his apartment to grab the bowl of popcorn.

"You could stay here tonight if you're lonely over there?" Harry more asked than said.

"I think I'll be fine," I said.

"Please"

"Harry, there's only one bed."

"I know. I won't try anything. I just get lonely at night."

"Really, I have classes tomorrow and I think I should sleep in my own room. I'll see you in the morning, ok?"

"But-"

"Harry. No." With that I left and closed my door before he could say anything more.

After I put my stuff away I got my phone out. I called Mom first.

"Hi baby. How'd today go?" Mom asked me.

"Great! I went exploring with a guy I met this morning. His room is right next to mine. I went over to his room and watched a movie this afternoon." I told her.

"And who is this guy? Should I be worried?"

"His name is Harry and he's really nice. He knows I just want to be friends. And, no, you shouldn't be worried about a thing."

"Ok. I'll let you get some rest. Just don't forget about Bryan."

"I won't! I love you!"

"Love you too"

I wish she'd stop worrying I thought after I hung up. I dialed Bryan's number.

"Hello." he answered.

"Hey," I said.

"How's it going? Do you like London?"

"It's been amazing! I've been exploring and this place is just beautiful."

"Good. When do classes start?"

"Tomorrow"

"Oh. Have you made any friends yet?"

"Yes. Actually I have."

"Who?"

"The guy in the room next door. His name's Harry. He's really nice. He came exploring with me today and he knew some pretty cool places to go. I went over to his room this afternoon and watched a movie."
"Should I be worried about this guy?"

"No. I told him I have a boyfriend and he knows I just wanna be friends."

"Ok. Well, have fun tomorrow! I love you."

"I love you too!!"

I took a shower and washed my face. I put my pajamas on and laid down in bed. I flipped on the TV in my room. I laid there for what seemed like forever before finally getting tired. The last thing I heard was the sound of Harry's TV through the wall as I drifted off to sleep.
