Twisted

Chapter: If I could fly

"I'm going to fight for you, Clara, and I'm going to win. The right way." 

These were the words that kept repeating in my head over and over again from the man who has fucked up my head ever since I met him. What did he mean by those words? Why the hell did I have to be so much affected by them? I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since he left the room all of a sudden, leaving me in a state of shock.

It's been almost 2 hours since he left the room and after collecting myself, I got dressed up and started working on math, all the while, the sincerity held within those eyes constantly haunting me. I couldn't solve a single problem as my mind was elsewhere, somewhere lost between those brown locks and mystic dimples.

Scribbling over and over the problem I had been staring at for the past hour, I decided I wasn't going to solve it anyway, instead I got up and walked out of the room, to look where Harry was.

I stopped in my tracks when I heard a melody pouring through the music room. I didn't want to interrupt him, so I leaned against the door, taking the advantage of the door being slightly ajar and listened to him play the guitar while belting out some lyrics, completely oblivious of my presence.

'I've got scars, even though they can't always be seen'

His voice made my heart stop beating in my chest. The amount of vulnerability and emotion he put into that one line, caused my breathing to stop. 

And pain gets hard, but now you're here and I don't feel a thing

My mouth parted open as a silent tear fell down my cheek. Did he..? Is this song..? 

Pay attention, I hope that you listen cause I let my guard down
Right now I'm completely defenseless

My mind couldn't process what was happening right now as my body stopped functioning normally and I felt like everything in the world has stopped. 

'For your eyes only, I show you my heart

For when you're lonely and forget who you are

I'm missing half of me when we're apart

Now you know me, for your eyes only

For your eyes only'

I couldn't control my senses anymore as I took a step inside and he stopped playing the guitar, sensing my presence in the room. He got up abruptly as I kept walking towards him. 

I looked up into those green irises and took a step closer. I closed the gap between us by wrapping my arms around him. He immediately reciprocated the hug and draped his arm over my waist. 

"That was beautiful," I murmured, wetting his shirt with my waterworks. I nuzzled into his chest while he rubbed my back and left a kiss to my hair.

I pulled back and said, "Continue"

"What?"

"Continue playing it. Please," I murmured and he smiled gently and picked up the guitar to continue playing the song.

He played the guitar riff for a while and continued. He looked as if he was deeply thinking and was choosing his words when he sung, 

'I can feel your heart inside of mine

I've been going out of my mind

Know that I'm just wasting time

And I'

He looked into my eyes and sang this part, which made my heart flutter and my insides went crazy.
