I Did This?

Chapter 11

Chapter 11

I woke up in my bed. I don't know how I got here and I don't care. I needed to explain to her. I needed to let her know I won't hurt her. Not again.

I took a shower and headed to school. I didn't see her in the morning but I found her at lunch. "Alison?" I called. She looked to me with fear. With a step closer, she ran. Of course I was faster so I had caught up with her. She started to slow down so I held her against the lockers, one hand holding both of hers and the other leaning myself against the cold metal that was beneath her.

"What do you want?" she asked angrily. She tried to escape my grasp but I was stronger. "I want to explain that I would never hurt you. Maybe I did in the past, but that doesn't matter. I want to make it up. I want you to feel safe around me. I can protect you." I said. We were maybe inches away from each other. I could feel her trembling breath on my lips.

"I won't hurt you." I whispered.

Her breathing steadied a little and I kissed her. Our lips moved together with perfection. I let go of her hands that went around my neck.

I loved the way she pulled my hair. Taking multiple curls in between her fingers and pulling at the root. I found my way around her waist, pulling her closer. She licked my bottom lip with urgency and I pulled back a little. "Eager?" I whispered seductively.

She but her lip and nodded, her eyes still closed. I forcefully kissed her again, immediately slipping my tongue in and exploring. She did the same as I heard footsteps. I pulled back, dragging her to the janitors closet. I locked the door and leaned up against it. "Whew." I breathed, "Close one." "There was no one there." she said.

I pointed to my ears, reminding her of my abilities. "Oh yea. That." she mumbled.

"So. Will you please let me show you that I will never hurt you?" I walked closer to her, rubbing the sides of her arms. "Will you let me protect you?" I went to pull off her jacket, exposing her shoulders in a tank top and tracing what was shown of the old scars. I could practically smell myself.

She reached out her arms to hug me. I cradled her close, feeling her warmth which was obviously colder than my own. She had her own comfort to her body temperature. One that I loved. "Always." she whispered. I smiled and felt a tear drop out of joy. I kissed the top of her head and stepped back, meshing our hands together to walk back to the lunchroom without being caught.

I bumped into a teacher without paying attention and she glared at me. "Shouldn't you two be in class?" she asked sternly. "We have lunch, miss." I explained. "No matter. Detention for both of you. I expect to see you in the detention hall after school today." she said as she handed us slips for our punishment.

"Crap!" she muttered. "What?" "I've gotta go to a track meeting. It's one of the tryouts. I can't miss that." she complained. I knew the perfect way to get her there. "I'm gonna take care of this." I heard the bell ring and saw people start to flood the halls. "Be there. I'm gonna fix it." she nodded before she grabbed my hand and we rushed through the halls to grab our book bags and head to our next class.

The last bell of the day rang and I went to the detention hall, where Alison sat, sulking in her worries. She must have heard my footsteps be aide she perked up once I stepped in. "Harry!" she called. She got up and greeted me with a hug and kiss. "Don't worry sweetheart. I'm gonna fix this." "Sweetheart?" she asked. Shit! I did that subconsciously. "Yea. I guess." she giggled. "It's cute." She kissed my cheek and the teacher walked in.

"It's only you two in here so get comfortable." She handed us some busy work and I purposefully broke my pencil. "Miss? Can I borrow a pencil?" I asked. She nodded and I walked to grab a spare from her desk. I made sure to ask, "Can I take this one?" while staring her in the eyes. I saw her eyes turn gold and she said, "Yes." "May we leave please? She got a meeting." I asked. Alison rose from her work at the sound of her name. "Go ahead." the teacher said. "Thank you." Her eyes went back to normal and she said, "Why are you kids in here? Go home! Don't waste your time here!" she said happily. Alison smiled at me and we walked out.

"How did you persuade her?" she asked, stunned from my efforts. "This." I said as I pointed to my brain. "It's a benefit of this ...uh... other half." I said secretively. She tried to muffle a giggle as I walked with her, hand in hand, to her track meeting. I sat in the bleachers watching her from a distance. She waved every now and then, trying to focus on her athletics.

"You and Alison, huh?" I heard Louis ask as I jumped from his sudden entrance. "Yea. She's funny. Sweet. Beautiful. Intelligent. Everything." I described her while dazing off. "Whoa! Whoa! Someone's in love." he sing-songed. "Shut up." I muttered.

"You got hit by the love bug. Somebody's got a girlyfriend!" Louis would not stop with the love jokes and comments. He kept on as I watched Alison. I tranced off, thinking about anything that came to mind. I snapped back when I heard him say 'fuck buddy' and slapped him. "She's not a fuck buddy." I protested. Louis held his cheek and sassily retorted, "Calm down canine. I'm only joking." "You better be." I threatened. "I am. I can see it in how you look at each other. How protective you are." Emphasis on protective. "You seem like the perfect puzzle pieces. You fit one another. It's like destiny." he said. "Strangely, I find you two adorable." "Really?" I asked. "Really."

"May I ask why you're here? It's obviously not because you wanted to see me and Alison. Who wants to be a third wheel?" I asked. Louis held his head low ad looked off. He was staring at a girl who was about to do a pole vault. I looked closer and she had brown hair that was tied neatly in a ponytail. Her skin was light and seemed soft. She had a slim figure. Not as nice as Alison, but who am I to judge? Louis stared at her like nothing else mattered. Like how I look at Alison. "Louis is in love!" I cooed. I tickled his sides as he threatened me with harsh punishment to my manhood. I covered my lower half and said, "You do it to me, expect the favor to be returned." He covered himself, thinking about how harsh his threat really was.

"Yea. I guess I am." he admitted. I smiled and put him in a headlock, giving him a nougie. "Get off!" "Maybe we can double date?" I offered. "Maybe. Not on a full moon though. I don't think anybody wants to see that as a first impression." he joked. "So you've been watching her from afar?" I asked. "So?" "Nothing. Nothing at all." I snickered as I saw Alison waving to me, signaling it was to time to leave.

I patted Louis' back and whispered, "Good luck." I walked to the stairs in the middle of the bleachers and stepped down. I got to the bottom, spinning Alison around in a hug before lifting her off the ground bridal style.
