Why do I hate Harry Styles?

18: Apology

Next day

Bella's pov

Finally college ended. Today was really hectic, Susan kept on asking me questions about yesterday, she even involved Stacy in this.

I don't know why can't they understand , I'm better off without talking about that.

Yesterday was really hard for me to pass. That moment kept on playing in my head, the feeling of being lied to was really devastating. I even had to lie to Granny to stop asking any more questions.

I have never felt that way for no-one except him ! But turned out I didn't even know his real name ! Even if he had a valid reason for what he did then also I can't just forget everything.

The only way I could avoid this pain eroding in me was to just not think about it .I really wanted to go back home and just lay down on my bed but I had promised Gia.Therefore I'm going to meet her.

I decided not to take uber, and to go there walking. I really needed fresh air right now.I was relieved that there was little traffic and not hundreds of cars and people on the road. Her house was situated in old L.A, and it was a week day therefore it was no surprise that the streets were almost deserted.

I bent down to roll up my gean. I don't usually wear geans to college, I just don't feel really comfortable.

Nonetheless today was an exception. When today morning I opened my closet to take out a midi, everything from yesterday came flashing upon my mind I was being inclined to that pain and agony all over again. Hence I decided to go different today.

I sighed and continued walking, turning left I entered a deserted alley, there was literally not a single person there. I was the only living soul present there. Cool air rushed through me, giving me spooky vibes. There was nothing actually scary about the place except that there was no one else but my imaginary mind was the reason behind my downfall.

Not long after I began to feel someone's presence behind me, I really hoped it to be my hallucination but it felt too real.
Soon I heard the sound of a car moving, it seemed as if it was just behind me.

Maybe it was someone living in this area only. Maybe the person is not actually following me. Yeah that might be the case therefore I began to walk again. I was hoping it would stop at some point but ,no it was moving behind me.

When I stopped walking, I sensed the car's engine turn down.

Oh God! Now it was sure the person is after me.

"Oh Lord save me!" Was all I said before picking up a stick, thrown on the ground.

I held the stick tightly near my chest and began to calm myself down.

"Okay . Okay.....First of all who asked you to come here all alone can't you come with Sam? No you wanted to be alone, you wanted fresh air. Now see this is the result. Urgh....whatever , now I'm gonna fight ! Yes ! Whoever it is , is gonna get some good punches, even if he's a Russian Mafia leader with lots of advanced guns, I'm gonna fight him."

I heard the door closes, that means he came out of the car , he's coming for me.

I turned around , eyes closed and was ready to stab his face. When he held my both hands, I realized how miserably I failed.

When I opened my eyes, I was confused whether to be relieved or even more sacred, because it was Harold standing in front of me.

"You?" I said

I began to struggle to free myself from his grip, however it all went in vain as he only gripped harder but not ceasing to be gentle at the same time.
