Violet pov

It was now a week since our school started, with other assignments I totally forgot about the painting vulnerability project and so I decided to go to the dockyard , my getaway place at night. The place was silent and it gave me clarity, the place was safe as very few people knew about it and our area had lowest crime rates.

I went there and sat on the large ship chain, it was big enough for two people to sit in one loop . The night was calm and the water Breeze was refreshing , I was thinking when i noticed someone, he looked familiar but because of sharp lights I couldn't make it out.

When he came near , I recognized him , he was Chad, my ex-boyfriend.

"Hey young lady, it's late night what are you doing here?" He asked

"That's none of your business. "I frowned and git down from the chain

"Where are you going love?" He smirked asking

"First you dare not call me that and secondly I can go wherever I want to so leave me alone." I said before turning on my heel. Suddenly I felt a hand on my waist and it was Chad's, he was again trying to be abusive what he was when we were in relationship, I kicked him in balls

Which made him loosen his grip, then I started to walk again, I learnt self defense after my bad experience with Chad, he this time held my hand very tightly and tried to force himself on me, I grabbed his shoulder and rounded my legs around his ankle. Making him fall, I was almost about to kick on his stomach when harry lifted me from behind , at that moment I just saw harry and was in no mood to explain so i went back kicking chad.

He then let Chad run, and put me on ground .

"What was it about Violet?" He asked

"What are you doing here but?" I questioned back

"Umm actually this is my getaway place I found it the day i came to live here, what about u , what are you doing here?" He asked

" this is my getaway spot too, and I came here for fresh thoughts for the painting project." I replied

" wait what's on ur hand, why is it red?, what's going on Violet? And why were you kicking that guy? Did he try to hurt you? Are you OK?" He spoke so fast

"Oh my God, u asking questions like my mom, so answering all one by one , so I was here , then Chad came up out of no where, he was my ex boyfriend, I broke up with him almost 2 years back because he was abusive and did not respect , he tried to force himself on me and that's when I had enough and I broke up with him, and so back to present he came here again tried to force himself on me but because of what happened 2 years back I took self defense classes which I am glad I did, and thus u saw me kicking him." I told him all the things , I really did not like to talk about this to anyone because that made me feel weak about myself but I don't know it was the night or harry that I told him everything , I met him a week ago and still I told him.

"Oh I am so sorry, I shouldn't have littered you up , I should have joined kicking him, but are you OK?" He asked worried

"Yes I am good," I answered assuring him

"It is very important to learn defending yourself , at least till the time people learn to digest the word "no". He said, still his brows were tensed a bit.

"Yeah" I nodded

"looks like i have to share my getaway spot, or find a new one" he said and i chuckled

"i don't mind sharing but there is no way i am finding a new spot." i said laughing

"why did you like this place? isn't it shady?" he asked 

"same question goes for you too." i replied 

"a bit sassy huh." he said and i replied it with a  hair flip 

"other things aside but i like this place because i can feel the sea breeze as well as see the night sky at the same time without having sand or water all over me." I said

"smarty" he replied 

"why you choose this place?" i asked

"first because its beautiful and second it reminds me of my the beach I used to go back in England." he replied

"don't worry, I wont kick you out of the place." I said laughing

"thank you, that's so grateful of you." he  replied 

(we sat there for some time in silence, it wasn't awkward it was a comfortable silence, I was so happy that this time i showed Chad where he belonged and not feel scared or traumatized my his actions, nothing can repay what he did to me but this made me feel a lot more stronger and confident)

" Want to grab some ice cream?" harry asked breaking the silence 

"it 3am harry" I sighed 

" for that we have Mc Donald's open 24 hours." 

"okay then, lets go" I smiled 

we both then got into Harry's car, before starting the care he handed me the aux cable.

"U can play your Playlist here" He said

"Ahm I actually can't, phones battery is about to die, but you can put up your Playlist I won't mind."I replied

" I would have but my phone is already dead."He chuckled

We headed to Mc Donald's then, the drive was silent except harry humming songs,his voice was low yet deep and beautiful it was so soothing.

We reached Mc Donald's and got off the car "you have a great voice." I complimented him

He smiled with his cute deep dimples

"What would you like ma'am and sir?" The worker at the counter asked us

" I would like to have one large Mc.oreo and what about you Violet?"Harry asked

" the same but a small one."I replied

I was about to pay for us but then harry stopped me and said it was his treat, I argued but who can win him.

We took our deserts and sat in the car, we talked about school and all when he asked me

"What are you planning to do for semester project in painting?"

"I haven't really thought about it, I was at the dockyard to think about it but don't have much clarity yet ." I replied

"What about you?" I asked back

" I have a few things in mind but I have to still figure things out." He said eating ice cream ,

He was like a baby when he was eating ice cream, he had ice cream all over his lips, he looked adorable , we finished our ice creams he was fast enough to eat the large cup in the same time I ate the small one , I threw the empty cups in the garbage can near when I came back I saw harry had ice cream on his nose tip, seeing him I was laughing.

"What? Why are you laughing?" He asked

"Ah nothing there is ice cream at your nose tip"i said laughing

"I know I am a bit messy eater when it comes to ice creams." He chuckled a bit

"Here are the tissues wipe it." I said handing him the tissue

It was almost 4:15 in the morning, harry dropped me home, my mom was out for a work trip for two days and so I had the liberty to stay outside late.

I came back home and I was very tired so I just changed my clothes took off the make up and went to sleep .
