Twisted

Chapter Four

*Next Morning*

When I woke I had a killer headache,Probably from all the drinking I did. I was also sweating,which was unusual. I knew it was the middle of June and I was wearing a duvet but it was still really hot. I tried to move but couldn't and then I realized why I was so hot,Harry was rapped around me. Completely entangled with me. I layer there for a bit just enjoying the sheer quiet except for Harrys snoring,and the faucet dripping,and a noise in the kitchen...that wasn't right! I heard another bang and shot out of bed grabbing Harrys discarded T-Shirt to put on. I looked over at Harry who had been grabbing for me but then settled on the pillow I had been using,Engulfing it in his grasp. I looked downstairs and seen it was totally pitch dark but still flew down the stairs two and a time until I reached the kitchen. Puffing and out of breath I slowly turned the light on from my hiding place of behind the counter. When it was fully on I found myself looking into the eyes of Perrie. She stood looking at me,eyebrows raised.

"Was I,uh, was I interrupting something?" She asked gesturing to my outfit

"What? Oh! No, I heard a noise in the kitchen so I threw something on and came to investigate" I explained "Not to be rude but its like ten in the morning so,um,why are you here?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"I came as soon as I got your text saying you needed to talk to me,So what's wrong?"

"I,uh,I didn't text you thou-" I was in the middle of saying when I heard Harrys voice behind me

"No but I did. I thought these memories would be painful for you to talk about and I knew you told Perrie what was going on so I though I'd get her to tell me while you were asleep. But this ninja woke you up and screwed my plans completely over" He explained rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.

"Now that your both p do you want me to leave or..."

"Yes please" I said "I can handle telling Harry,but thanks" I said as she turned and left. When I heard the door click shut I turned to Harry and took him upstairs. Harry sat on the edge of the bed as I stood I front of him.

"Are you sure you want to know,Harry? This is a pretty gruesome past and I feel like you don't really want to..." I said while mentally screaming 'Please say you don't want to know' but instead he said "I love you. That means all of you. Including your past so I really do want to know. Please tell me" and with that out in the open I began my story,For the second time in my life.

*FLASHBACK*

I was sitting on my couch reading the book I got for my birthday,it has been two weeks earlier,when I heard big work boots stomp into my house. I tried to make myself small as my mom (Cindy) and her boyfriend,the one with the work boots, came into the living room. Both smelled of pot and cigarette smoke. Both had cigarettes hung loosely between their lips too. Cindy dropped hers on the carpet but big boots came over to me, He reached behind me and tugged the back off my shirt down and waited. I expected the pain to come but didn't do anything because I knew better than to struggle,last time I had done that I gotten the big scar down my back. As I sat there he slowly snubbed out his cigarette between my shoulder blades.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

I finished telling him my whole story and looked at him, he was as close to breaking down in tears as I had ever seen him. He sat on the edge of the bed raking his hands through his curls, I stood there and looked at him then finally said.

"I know my life is pretty screwed. I don't know who my dad is and my mom is a druggie so if you want me to leave I can go and live with Angela or something..."

"WHAT!" He shouted,as if angry and me. I winced at his tone of voice but didn't step back.

"You are NOT going anywhere! I told you I love you and everything about you. Just because your past is twisted please don't let it affect your future with me" He said tugging off his shirt (that I was still wearing) and left the room. Hollering back at me "I'll be back in a few hours so just hang out with Perrie for now" and left.
