Unseen (Harry Styles)

Chapter Seven

I spent that night at Harry's, eventually realizing that I'd have to go back home to get more clothes. But I really didn't want to go back there, considering that my father could be there. Hopefully, my mom came home and kicked him out. He's the one that left us anyway, he doesn't deserve to stay.

I woke up before Harry, his arms still around me from last night. I really can't thank him enough, he has no i sea how much being here means to me. I wish that I could do something for him.

I'm pulled away from my thoughts when Harry begins to move beneath me. He rubs his red and droopy eyes, which is probably the most adorable thing I've ever seen.

"Good morning," I say with a smile.
"Hey," Harry replies stretching out his body.
"Do you have any plans today?" he asks me.
"No, but I don't have any clothes. And I really don't want to go back there."

I notice Harry's face fall when I mentioned what happened last night. "You know I'll keep you safe, right Kara?"
"I know" I smiled, knowing he meant it.
"I'll come inside with you, if you want."
"Yes please," she blushes.

Harry's POV
We arrived at her house, me intertwining my hand with hers as we walk up to her front step. "If he's there, I'm here for you. Okay?"
"Yeah." I sense the fear in her voice.

She unlocks the door and slowly opens it, only to see a passed out man on her couch reeking of alcohol. "is that him?" I whisper. She nods in response.

I saw him slightly shift as me and Kara walked through the house. Kara's body froze as he mumbled something in his sleep. "hey, hey. I got you." I mumble to her. I wanted to make her feel as safe as possible.

She continued to tip toe up the stairs, making almost no noise. She passed by her mothers room, seeing a sleeping woman laid out on her bed.

She quietly walks into the room, careful not to make so much sound. She shakes her mother, trying to wake her up. I notice tears in Kara's eyes as I watch from the door.

"Mommy, did he do this?" I hear her say when she notices a huge black and blue bruise across her mothers cheek.

"He was going to go after you, honey. I should have known what he did. He told me last night. I'm so sorry, " he mom cried.

"It's not your fault, okay? Don't blame yourself. I used to do that too."

"You're so strong, sweetheart. Stronger than I'll ever be. I tried to get him to leave," she murmured. "But then he did this and passed out on our couch. So I just went upstairs to sleep, hoping it was all a dream."

"It's not a dream, mom. He's here."

"I know, sweetie. I know."

All of a sudden, her mom notices me in the doorway gently eavesdropping on their conversation.

"Who is that?" Kara's mom asks.

"That's my friend, Harry. I spent the night at his when I saw dad. He helped me mom. He's amazing." She says glancing over at me.

I smile at her words about me. It makes me feel so happy to know that I helped her.

I saw her mom whisper something in her ear, Kara blushing. Oh no, what could it be. I'll just ask her about it later.

"Sweetie, I'll deal with your father. Just go get safe. okay?"

"Mom, I.."

"Shh, I'll be fine. You have Harry to protect you" she says giving me a warm smile.
"That I do." she replies.

Kara sends her farewells to her mom, giving her a kiss on the cheek telling her to stay safe. I only just met the woman, but I feel I would work just as hard to protect Kara's mom from that maniac on the couch downstairs.

"I'm just gonna get some clothes, I'll be right back" Kara says while tip toeing to her room.

About five minutes after, she comes out with a duffle bag full of stuff. "Harry, cmon. Well go through my window."

We reach her window and climb down the huge tree that rests against the house, avoiding her father all together.

When we reach the ground, I'm taken back when Kara decides to kiss me on the lips.

"What was that for?" I say chuckling after we pulled away from the kiss.

"For saving me, Harry."
