Unseen (Harry Styles)

Chapter Six

Kara's POV
Our date couldn't have been more amazing. Harry put so much effort and time into it, and I was so appreciative of everything. I never felt like someone could care about me this much.

We drove back to my house, Harry dropping me off. As I opened the door I thanked him, only to be stopped by his strong hands.
"No goodbye kiss?" He said with a puppy dog face.
"I almost forgot." I said leaning in to give him a quick peck on the lips. I pulled away only to be grabbed back for another kiss, Harry's lips lingering on mine.
"That's better" he said as we pulled away.
"Bye Harry, thanks again for everything. It was perfect."

"No problem, love. See you on Monday?"

"Of course. Bye" I said with a smile as I waved Harry off.

I walked into my house with the biggest smile on my face, still feeling the minty taste of Harry's lips.

I closed the door only to be ripped out of my happy memories.

"Hi sweetheart."

Him. My father is standing in front of me. The one who took away my happiness. The one who hurt me.

"get the hell away from me."

"Baby, haven't you missed me?"

"Never in a million years. Get out of my house. Now."

"Oh baby, that's not gonna happen. I'm here to stay."

I ran out of the front door as fast I possibly could, down the block and as far away from him as possible. I pulled out my phone and dialed the only number I wanted to talk to.

Harry.

He picked up, greeting me with a simple "Helloooo"
I didn't even notice the tears streaming down my face until I spoke to Harry in the phone.

"Harry." I cried.

"Babe, what's wrong? I only dropped you off a half hour ago! What happened? Tell me where you are, I'll come to get you."

"He's here, Harry. He came back. For me. He's gonna hurt me, he's gonna kill me"

"Baby, please calm down. I'm coming to get you."

"I'm at the mini mart around the corner. Please Harry, hurry. I don't want him to find me."

"I'm coming as fast as I can, just stay. Okay baby?"

"Okay."

I've never put so much trust into one person to come save me.
-----------------
After about 5 minutes of waiting for Harry, I saw his black jeep pull up to the mart.

"Get in babe, cmon "

I jumped in the car, still shaking from my fathers reappearance.

"Harry. I need you." I said reaching over him for a hug.
"I'm here, Kara. I'm here." he whispered into my hair.
"Please don't leave me."
"Never, babe. Never."
----------------
We drove to Harry's apartment in silence, other than the sound of my crying and Harry's constant "shhhhh, it's okay." He's trying, at least.

After another 5 minutes, we arrived at Harry's building and arrived at his place. I walked in, taking in the new setting as I Tried to forget about him.

"I'm sorry I'm such a burden Harry, I didn't know where else to go."

"Baby, you're never a burden. Do you want to talk about it?"

"Okay."

Well, this is it.
Harry's POV
I can't believe she trusts me with this. But all I wanted to do was make her feel better, to wipe away the tears from her gorgeous grey eyes.
We sat down in the couch, her hand in mine and my arm around her shoulders.

"Okay" she breathed out.
"It all started when I was six. I loved my father. But I noticed him being stranger than usual. He was always staring at me, and when I asked him why he said 'because you're a beautiful little girl'. I took it as a compliment, since I was a little girl. But one day, he um..."
"You can tell me baby"
Fresh tears started pouring down her cheeks even harder.
"He raped me, Harry. He raped me." she cried into my chest.

I felt so many emotions. Anger, guilt, sadness, pity. How could anyone hurt her? That explains why she's so fragile.

"Kara. Oh my god, come here." she cried into my chest as I pulled her into a hug, never letting go.
"And as I got older," she continued. "He started doing it even more. And when I refused, he hit me.
My mom always worked late, so she never knew. He said if I told her, he would kill me. And now he's back, Harry. He gonna kill me. He's gonna kill me."

"Baby, please. I will never, ever let that happen. Do you hear me?"

"Yes Harry. I do. I need you right now, please don't let me go"

"I wouldn't be able to if I tried. Thank you for trusting me."

"Thanks for saving me."

I kissed her on the cheek as I felt her tears wet my shirt.

Isn't it funny to think that the girl I already thought I loved, holds a past that makes me admire her even more? She's been through so much, and no one saw that. I'm honored that she's let me see her, even her dark past.
