Chapter ten

Harry's POV

The next morning Conner had contacted me, someone gave him my number. "This isn't good." I thought to myself. Back when I was 15 was very lost and that's how I met Conner and he had gotten me into lots of trouble. Drugs and alcohol had consumed my life for a long time until I found myself a year later but, not matter how hard I tried something always pulled me back to that life of crime. It all changed when I met Cassie freshman year in high school. I fell in love and to Conner it showed weakness.

Since then I have stayed away from him and his friends that took me in for so long and I've made it through high school and now to a university and I couldn't be happier. That night when he touched her, his grungy little hands on Cass made me so angry and mean angry. I wasn't going to put her in danger. "Styles, meet me at the park 12 sharp."

I sighed then grabbed my jacket. I had no choice and even though I had to face him I was terrified. "Conner, what do you want?" He snickered. "I want that girl, she's hot." That made my blood boil. "Don't talk about her like that." "Aw.. protective aren't we?" He chuckled again. "Leave." I spat. "Fine, but you can't keep your girl safe all the time. It's not like she knows what you did... if she found out? It would be a shame if she-

"No, please. She can't, that's not me anymore. Really? My broken nose says otherwise." "You touched her, I protect people I care about." "Be careful Styles," he said and walked away throwing his cigaret at me. My palms started sweating and I ran my hand through my hair while pacing back and forth.

"There you are Harry!" Cassie said cheerfully. "Yeah, uh hey." "You okay?" "Yeah, Yeah." I nodded. "Um. Alright. Well, I have to run to town for a few things, come with?" "I'll go with." We walked to my car but before I could get in Niall jogged over. I looked at Cassie and she rolled her eyes.

"Harry, you have to let me talk to her, it's not about us... " "Maybe later mate?" I said pulling out of the parking space.

"Harry, I would have talked to him." I sighed. "He's going to get you back and he doesn't deserve you. Now, what do you need?"

"Camping supplies." "Camping supplies?" "Yeah, it was going to be a surprise but, I needed your help," she chuckled. "Were going camping?" "Sure!" she laughed.

"Could be fun." I nodded.

"So, what all do we need Cassie?" "Uh, tents, rope, and anything else you take for camping."She shrugged clearly telling me this would be her first time in a while.

Cassie's POV

"I think we should head back?" I asked. "Wait, who's coming?" "You, the boys... Niall... and uh Sara I think" I sighed. "Wait.. Niall...?" "Yeah.." "You're not back together are you?" "No.. but he's friends with Sara and she wanted him to go," "Oh," was all he said. "Harry?" "Hmm?" "Are you okay?"

"We.. uh.. haven't talked about we said.. how we like each other." "Is that why you've been acting so weird?" "I wasn't trying to.. it's just I really like you and I didn't want to act like we didn't."

"Hey! Look who it is." The guy from the club walked up to me. I ignored him and walked back to Harry. "Is he your boyfriend now?" He chuckled. "Hey what's- Connor! leave her alone."Harry snapped. "Ohh.. tough boy aren't you?" He chuckled. Harry's hands clenched together and I had to hold him back. "You wouldn't love him if you knew him like I do" He smirked and walked out. I turned to Harry and gave him a very confused look.

"What did he mean?" "Don't worry about it, just some ass I knew before I met you." He said.I nodded and headed for the checkout. "Harry, please don't lie to me.. I wouldn't hate you..."

"Cassie, I trust you. Connor is trouble and he knows about my past and my past isn't exactly the best and he knows he could hold it against me." "Harry, listen to me. You aren't that person anymore, I may not have known you then but I know you now, that's all that matters. " "Thanks, Cassie, I love you so much." He hugged me tightly. "Aww, well don't you too make a darling couple." The cashier gushed. We looked at each other and smiled. "Thanks," Harry said without argument.

I didn't say anything only because Harry's reaction was one of the most cutest things ever. Let's see how camping goes.
