Corruption

Chapter 8

Bo's pov:

I quickly back away from Harry's grasp. He wants to burn my 'light' out? I look up at him to find those two green eyes that linger and taunt me in my dreams staring back down at me. I start feeling my heart beat faster in fear and in worry. I can't and won't show him that I'm scared. That's what he wants. He wants to have the upper hand and make me be in fear. I tear my eyes away from his and look down. I don't even know how to comment on this. This was not how I was expecting the night to go. I had it planned to make him leave me alone. Not for him to tell me this. I see him take a step closer and I immediately take a step back trying to create as much distance in between us as I can. I look back up and my eyes lock in his gaze. I stand up straight and try to get as much courage as I can so I can talk and not sound weak. The tension in the air is getting thicker by the minute, I can sense him growing impatient from my lack of response. The light from the moon in shining on the side of his face making his features more visible. I could see the way he has his jaw clenched. The way the wind would occasionally blow through his hair that was pushed up by a bandana. I drew in a deep breath and hoped that my voice wouldn't give out on me.

"I want you to leave me alone Harry." I harshly remarked. Not even a second later I see a hint if a smirk growing on his face and I take another step back unwillingly. It's almost as if my mind is telling me one thing but my body is reacting opposite of what I want it to. Harry then let's out a deep chuckle. His smirk growing more prominently on his face.

"You don't get it do you?" he questioned shaking his head. "Something about you intrigues me. There is no leaving you alone angel. That opportunity passed a long time ago."

My breath hitched in my throat. I hadn't realized but as he was talking he was moving forward. I was now against a wall of a building and he was only a step away from his face being not even an inch close to mine. I could start to feel a lump forming in my throat. No. I will not cry I'm front of him. I Would never give him the satisfaction of thinking hes gonna get what he wants. Because he's not.

"I'm still waiting for my jacket back you know" He said quietly. I kept my mouth shut not really knowing what to say. I don't want to see him again and I definitely don't want him knowing where I live to come pick it up. That's if he doesn't know already. I could feel some of the color in my face drain out just of the mere thought of him knowing. "I think I should go to your house tomorrow to get it"

"No!" I choke out right after he stops talking. I see his eyebrows raise and the same smirk from before reappear on his face.

"Oh no? And why not?"

"Because" I mutter pursing my lips into a fine line.

"Because why?" he asks yet again. I let out a huff in aggravation.

"Because I don't want you in or anywhere near my house." I firmly state.

"Being feisty now are we?" He leans down to the side of my face. "I'm sorry to break it to you angel, but people don't always get what they want." He whispers in my ear. His hot breath sending a chill through my body. I see him look down looks down at his wrist to what I assume is a watch but it's too dark to tell. I glance at the entrance to see if anyone is walking by so I can yell for help. I turn my head back when I feel Harry looking at me.

"I'll see you tomorrow angel" He smirks leaning in and giving me a peck on the cheek. I stand there, dazed as Harry turns around and walks back to where he came in. The dark of the night enveloping him each step he takes until I can't see him anymore. I shake my head trying to snap out of it and run out of the alley and into my car. As I'm driving down the road I look into my rear view mirror and see a car close behind me. I make a left and step up on the gas a little more glancing back and forth to the road and the car behind me. The car begins to pick up speed ending up right behind me again. realization hits me I'm being followed. I begin to panic and make a right down my neighborhood the car following. I quickly park my car in the driveway my moms car slightly hiding it. I jump out of the car closing the door behind me and running to the front of my moms car ducking down so whoever it is won't see me. I ducked down just in time to see the headlighs of the car casting a glow on the road as it slowly passed by. The windows are tinted but I see the outline of a man with his head facing my car as if he were looking to see if I was there. I try to stay as still as I can fearing that the slightest movement would catch his attention making him see me. I catch the way his head turned up to look at my house and then back to my car. Thankfully, he stepped on the gas speeding away.

I stay down for another minute making sure the coast is clear then sprint up to my front door unlocking it and slamming it shut behind me. I lean my back against the door and sigh in relief. The safe feeling of my home taking over. I stay like that for a few seconds until I hear a cough across the room. My eyes snap open and look directly in that direction waiting for the worst, but I sigh in relief when I see it's just my mom sitting on the couch in the living room.

"Where the hell have you been Bo? You had me worried sick! I go to get a cup of water and then when I check on you I find your bed untouched from when you made it this morning?! And you didnt even answer your phone when I called you!" she yells at me. I pull my phone out if my back pocket and sure enough there were over 5 missed calls and 10 text messages all from my mom. I knit my eyebrows in confusion as to why my phone didn't ring but then remember that I kept it on silent when I went to go see Harry. I raise my head back up and for the first time since I came home I notice the furious look on my mothers face.

"Well?"

"Mom I'm sorry.. Cassie called me about an- an emergency that was happening at home and I went to go help her completely forgetting to tell you." I lie telling her the first excuse to pop up in my head. Her face still shows no other emotion but anger. Fucking Harry. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be in this situation right now.

"Oh really and what was this situation about?" My mom asks in somewhat of a mocking tone. I can tell she's not buying any of this.

"Her mom called and she got into a accident. Cassie called me right away to go with her." I try to convince her. She stays silent so I take it as a chance to continue talking. "When we got there we saw that her mom was okay it was really just the car that was banged up. So we went back to her house and I helped her and her mom get settled in then I left."

"And not once did it occur to you to look at your phone?" She scolded. She sighed and ran her fingers through her hair as I shook my head no.

"Sorry" I mumbled. She nodded her head walking towards me.

"Just, Don't let it happen again okay Bo?" She said softening her tone.

"Okay" She placed a kiss on my forehead while mumbling a goodnight and to go to bed. I hummed in response. I walked upstairs after her and put my phone and keys on my dresser. I put my pajamas on and quickly drifted off into a deep slumber a few seconds after my
head collides with my pillow.
