Lifesaver (A Zarry fanfic)

3. Limited Safety

Harry's POV

"Mum, I need to go!"

"Harry, you have a game today. I'm bringing you right now okay?"

"I'll drive myself! Mum, please!"

"No! And that's final, now get in the car." My mum growled at me, taking my duffel bag from the counter. I groaned as I pulled my beanie over my head. I hadn't been able to see Jessie in a full week and I was getting anxiety. "Are you coming?"

"Yeah mum." I sighed, rushing outside and into the car.

-----------------------

"Damn Styles! Although you were very hard at work on the field, you were very out of place." My coach scolded me as I grabbed my belongings out the locker room.

"I'm sorry! I've just been kind... jumpy lately. It's this girl."

"Listen mate, I understand my daughter is a prize but-"

"I'm not talking about Kayla." I sighed before being shoved into the lockers.

"Are you two-timing my baby girl?!"

"N-No sir! It's just that I found this girl who-who is being treated pretty badly over the passed week and I haven't seen her since last tuesday so I'm a bit scared of what the man might've done to her."

"What man?"

"I-I can't tell you, I promised the girl." I frowned as he released me, dropping his glare. "I swear, I have never cheated on Kayla."

"Yeah I know, you're a good kid Styles. Have a good day." My coach nodded before walking out the room.

"Harry?" I jumped at the sound of Zayn's voice. "Who's this girl?"

"I don't know if I should tell you. She's very shy and cautious of herself." I smirked at the thought of Jessie. The way she smiled was adorable, her green eyes always glistening. Her shyness was cute to me.

"I would love to meet her."

"No." I growled, storming out the lockers and out to the front of the school. How did I become so angry so quickly? It hit me that I was being protective, protective of Jessie.

"I'll do whatever you ask around her, I promise." Zayn pleaded as he pulled me over to his car.

"Why do you want to meet her so badly?" I asked with my eyebrows narrowed as Zayn smirked at me.

"I want to meet the girl who made you actually lose a game." We both laughed a bit as we got in the car.

"Alright, whatever."

-----------------

We pulled up in front of Steven's house, all the lights were off and his car was gone. Zayn had a curious look on his face, but I ignored it.

"Hand me the chocolate."

"Does anxiety make you eat chocolate?"

"No, Jessie loves chocolate." I smiled as he handed it to me, getting out the car. "Stay quiet okay?"

"Just one question, why are we at Steven's house?" Zayn whispered as we entered the backyard. I ignored him as my eyes darted to the window, there were little hands scratching at them. I rushed over, placing my hand on it and hearing a squeal. "Harry." Zayn called me from behind as I opened the window, smiling down on Jessie who's eyes were filled with tears.

"Harry, you came back!" She cried harder as I stepped into the room, her frail arms wrapping around me desperately and crying into my shoulder. I looked over at the window and watched as Zayn crept in. "I was so scared, I-I thought you broke your promise."
