Life on the Isle (Harry Hook x Liz)

Never Cried

I went over to Frederick and wrapped my arms around his neck. He held me close and whispered, "ready to go?" I pulled away, "in a few more minutes." I turn around to go back behind the counter, "have a seat." Frederick goes to sit down at the bar with Uma's crew. Harry scowled at him, but didn't let Frederick notice, but I was happy that he didn't want to be intrusive and get in our relationship. I bent down a little to get eye level with him, "put the scowl away." He did and I smiled, "good boy." I stood back up and walked into the back to clock out. I pulled my apron off and hung it on the hook and took my hair out of the ponytail I had. Frederick stood up and I walked over to him. He put one arm around me and we walked out together.

After Liz and Frederick left Uma clocked out and came over to check on me. I had a tight hold on the cup that I had. I wasn't paying attention and the glass shattered, getting stuck in my hand and the drink spilling everywhere. Uma sighed, "that's the fortieth one since they've been together." Uma held out her hand and pulls out tweezers, "give me your hand." I hand her my impaled, right hand with the glass shards sticking out and some blood leaking from the fresh wounds. Uma carefully picks out the small shards. She grabs some disinfectant and a rag. She rubs the liquid into my hand as the burning sensation starts. I grunted as it continued to sting. Uma puts the stuff away and sighs, "if you would've just told her we wouldn't be in this mess." I stand up, "she said we were just friends." I leave out the door and Uma yells to me, "where are you going?" "Following them!" I yell back. I have been told that they usually go the beach area for their dates. I really don't trust Frederick. I can tell she isn't happy. I've known her for so long and I'm never going to let anything happen to her. Yes Frederick was much bigger and stronger than me, but when I got mad or protective my emotions made up for my stature. Oh and I was very angry and un happy. Out of respect I've never took my anger out on him, but oh how bad I've wanted to. I may get my ass beat, but it was definitely the price I was willing to pay just to throw one punch.

Mine and Frederick's usual dating spot was the beach so I already knew where he was taking me. Oh man I was so unhappy with him, but it was really hard to leave him. He'd never let me leave. I would ask for help, but I like to deal with things on my own. He wasn't so bad. I could stand him at least. When it escalates enough then I'll get help. He continued walking me to the beach and down the steps. I remembered just six months ago when Harry and I skipped school and played hide and seek. I threw his boots into the water. I started laughing without realizing it and made Frederick question me. I looked at his confused look and smiled, "I just remember an old memory here that I thought was funny." He goes and sits me down on the sand, "what's this memory of?" I shake my head, smiling, "nothing." He gets a mean look, "what's nothing?" I sigh, "it's nothing important at least. Just a fun memory with Harry that's all." He nods, taking it in. Once it settles he gets angry, "I've heard the rumors before. That's why I wanted to take you from that pirate." I question to myself then out loud, "what?" "What? You think I don't know?" He growls. I give a more confused look and he gets in my face, "the rumors. Everyone knew." I scoot back a bit, "knew what?" He chuckles, "don't play dumb with me." I shake my head, "I don't know what you're talking about." He smiles, evilly, "you and that boy were a thing. You guys used to run around and skip school. We all know why you guys skipped school." I shake my head and he starts crawling towards me, "you guys used to fuck. I want to know what he got. I've waited patiently. Now I'm done." He was fully on top of me and I couldn't get away. He leaned down and whispered, "show me what he got." "I don't know what you're talking about!" I yelled. He chuckles slightly, "everyone knows what I'm talking about." I continue to fight him off, "ask Uma. We've only been best friends since we were kids. That's all we are." I continue, but it's no use because of how massive he is. He shakes his head and gets real close to my face, "I don't believe you." He gets really close and my heart was racing. I tried to spit in his face, but he didn't budge, only got madder. He laughed, "you're all mine now. No one's here for you. They never were and never will be." He pins me with one hand, "but me, I got you. I'm just going to discipline you real quick." Now with the hold on me I definitely couldn't move. I would cry, but I wasn't a pussy. I never cried. I never will. I knew screaming for someone wouldn't do much because it was late, no one was around, it was no use. I tried to fight, but his hold was so strong. He started undoing my pants. I knew I had to at least try to scream for someone. Anyone. As soon as I screamed out Frederick moved his hold and put a hand covering my mouth, "no. None of that. We don't want anyone finding out." He continues and I just lay there. He was right no one was going to come for me. I was all alone. I felt the stinging in my eyes, but I don't cry. Never did. Never will.
