♪ 39 - When in trouble, trust is all you need ♪

Mackenzie's POV

My bedroom door slams shut as Harry enters, panting like crazy, a hot chocolate cup in one hand.

"Harry," I gasp. "Are you alright? Why were you running?"

"Why?" he pants. "Why didn't y-you tell m-me!?"

What is he talking about? I told him everything! Except ... oh shit! Did he find out about Nadine and Will? Damn it, Nadine will murder me! And I'm pretty sure she wasn't kidding when she said that!

"W-what are you t-talking about, Harry?" I stammer, getting off the bed and walking towards him.

"Why. Didn't. You. Tell. Me!?" he yells, making me wince.

Being as vulnerable and weak as I am, I began to cry. I started crying my lungs out, and Harry just stood in front of me, a look of disappointment on his face.

"I'm ..." I trail off, crying so hard that I could barely say anything. "I'm sorry that I-I kept it from you, but Nadi-"

"Who cares what that bitch says!?" Harry lashes out. "What am I then? I'm here to protect you, to take care of you! But you!"

He says the last two words pointing at me. "You're just pushing me away! Why won't you ever let me in!? I'm not your enemy, okay? I love you, I'm your boyfriend!"

"I know," I mutter, bending down on to my knees.

This situation is killing me! It's seriously eating me inside out. Worse part is, I'm behaving as if Harry is the enemy as well.

How did this happen? He's always had my trust, when did I ever stop trusting him? What even happened to our relationship?

"Are you ..." I croak, reluctant on saying the sentence my brain wants me to say. "Are you ... are you going to break ... up with ... me?"

He bends down on his knees and lifts my chin with one of his fingers, his bright pools of emerald piercing through my soul.

"Why would you ever think of such a thing?" he murmurs.

"I ... um, I ..."

"Don't worry," he chuckles, rubbing my cheek with his fingers. "I'm not going to leave you just like that."

Through the tears, a smile appears on my face as I burst into fits of laughter. I throw my arms around the man I call mine, as he does the same thing.

"I love you, sweetheart," he says.

"I know, because I love you as well, Hazza."

Notifications flood my inbox but I take no notice of them. I'm too busy enjoying the warmth of Harry's body against mine.

"You look adorable in that shirt!" I giggle, remembering the shirt that I had gifted to him on his birthday.

"Well, you gave it to me, obviously I'd look good!" he chuckles, pointing to the shirt that clings to his body.

I laugh like crazy at Harry's stupid attempts on making sarcastic jokes.

"You're the most stupid guy I've known in all of my 19 years!" I shove him slightly, making the covers fall off his body.

He pretends to be shivering and covers both of us in the quilt. I smile and scoot closer towards him as he gently places both his hands around my waist, ending any gaps between us.

"And you're the most beautiful girl I've known in all of my 21 years," he smiles.

"Stop it!" I blush, burying my face in my hands.

My phone rings again, making me groan.

"Who the fuck is ruining our perfect moment!?" Harry yells, reaching for my phone.

I hear him unlock my phone and after a bit more clicking, I see his eyes widen.

"What's wrong?" I laugh. "Did you see a ghost on my screen, or something?"

"What. Is. This!?" he exclaims, frightening me.

"Wh-what!?" I whisper. My voice grows louder. "What is it!?"

He gives me the phone and I view whatever he was scared of. As I look at the text, even I feel like I can't breathe.

You bitch! Who do you think you are, running away from me!? Come to Australia right now! I'm your rightful guardian, and you better listen to me! Or else ... - unknown

"Who the heck is this person?" I croak.

"I-I don't know," Harry stammers. "Do you h-have any clue?"

I shake my head, tears stinging my eyes. "Who ... my rightful guardian? Who is this?"

"Mack, I think you're in more danger than ever now." he tells me. "First, Nadine and Will are after you, and now, some stranger you says they're your rightful guardian? I mean, the heck is this shit?"

"What did I ever do to deserve this?" I think out loud. "All I wanted was a normal life, a loving boyfriend and a sweet family. But, instead, I have psycho people who after my life! I never did anything wrong, so why?"

Harry's grip on my body tightens and I start to weep, my tears staining his shirt.

"Harry ..." I mutter. "You don't deserve this."

He pushes himself away from me and gives me a confused look. "What do you mean, Mack?"

"You don't deserve to be in my life!" I scream. "I don't deserve you, you're too good for me, and my troubles are only going to get worse!"

No! Don't say it, please, don't say it!

"I -" I start to speak, but I get interrupted as Harry places a hand over my mouth.

"Don't talk, please, I don't want to hear that sentence."

"But ..." I muffle. "You deserve better than me."

"I don't want anyone else, okay?" he starts to pat my head. "All I want and need is one thing; you."

"Oh gosh, Harry!" I laugh weakly.

His smile melts my heart and the kiss he gives me makes me feel like he isn't going to get off my back that easily.

"I. Love. You." he slowly says in a reassuring tone.

"Come, babe!" he whines. "Say it, you know you want to!"

His winking causes me to erupt into laughter, and I shake my head at his stupidity.

"Obviously I'll want to say that!"

He smiles. "Then do it, because no matter what, I do love you! And I'm not lying!"

I place my hand on his chest while I rub his right cheek with my other hand.

"I love you too, of course!"

"Then trust me when I say this," he adds.

I raise an eyebrow at him after which he says the most sweet and sentimental words I've ever heard.

"I won't leave you, no matter what. I will protect you, and that's a true fact."

I laugh. "Then kiss me, you fool!"

As ordered, he kisses my dry lips and we enjoy each other's words and touches, having an amazing time in each other's comfort.
