My Best Friend [H.S]

Chapter Forty Three

When I come back into Harry's room he's laying in bed asleep. He must of been tired after today. I close the door quietly and walk over to his bed. I turn the TV off and get into bed beside him.

I stare at him, smiling at how cute he looks while he's asleep. He has curls falling into his face, and his light pink lips are ever so slightly parted.

I curl up next to him, his body heat warming me up. I quickly fall asleep, being tired from the day I've had.

"I'll be right back Harry. I need to use the bathroom real quick." I tell my boyfriend.

"Okay, don't take too long, I'll miss you." He smiles as I get up off the couch and walk to the bathroom down the hall.

I close the door behind me and jump when I see Tommy standing there.

"What are you doing here?" I ask.

He smirks getting closer to me. "I'm here for Beautiful, we're not done yet."

"No! Don't come near me!" I scream.

"Ellie wake up!" Harry's voice wakes me.

I gasp sitting up. I relax once I realize I'm in Harry's room. Safe. Tommy's not here. And he's not gonna hurt me.

"Hey, calm down it was just a dream." Harry says wrapping his arms around me and pulling me down into his chest.

"It felt so real..." I whisper holding back my tears.

He runs his fingers through my hair trying to calm me down.

"It wasn't real. I'm real. See you can feel me, I'm here and nothings gonna hurt you." He soothes.

I push my leg in-between his in an attempt to get closer to him. With our body's pressed fully against each other I fall asleep feeling safe again.

When I wake up the next morning the bed is empty. I sit up looking around for Harry. His bathroom door opens and he walks out with a towel around his waist.

"Morning." He says coming over and kissing me.

"Morning." I smile, stretching my arms.

"Sorry I left you in bed alone. I needed to shower and you were taking too long to wake up." He chuckled.

"It's okay. Just scared me a bit when I woke up and you were gone." I say.

"Yeah...about that. What happened last night? You were saying Tommy's name." He says opening his dresser drawer.

"Oh...I don't remember what I dreamed about. I just remembered being afraid." I lie once again.

I didn't even realize I was saying Tommy's name. That probably confused him alot.

"I hated seeing you like that." He says walking over to me and kissing my forehead.

"I'm sorry I scared you." I say looking up at him.

"Don't be." He leans down to kiss me.

The kiss deepens and he crawls on top of me, not breaking the kiss. He slides his hands under my shirt to hold my bare waist softly.

He grabs my hips, his fingers digging into them making me wince. Tommy.

No. This is Harry. He wouldn't hurt me. It's okay.

He holds my face still while kissing me while his other hand works its way up my shirt to my breast.

Tears form in my eyes as he grabs both my wrist with one hand and pins them above my head. He squeezes my breasts in his hands. Tears are flowing freely down my face now regretting even coming here.

"Stop!" I cry. "Don't touch me!"

"Stop!" I say scrambling to get away.

Harry looks at me with a worried expression.

"What's wrong? Did I hurt you?" He asks.

I run my hand through my hair. "No...you didn't. Uhm I just don't feel in the mood today I guess."

"Well are you okay?" He asks.

I nod. "I'm okay. And I'm sorry."

"Don't be. You don't have to be sorry for that. I'm not gonna be mad." He says standing up and going to his dresser again.

"You're not?"

"Why would I be?" He says putting his clothes on.

I shrug. "No reason. Uhm I'm gonna go back home. I told Nina I'd have lunch with her today."

"Okay. Have fun." He says coming over and pecking my lips.

"I will." I say getting up and walking to the door.

"Bye El."

"Bye Harry." I say walking out the door.

Lunch with Nina was fun and we even went shopping after. Now I'm back home and I'm baking cookies with my Mum.

"Can you pass me the chocolate chips?" My Mum asks.

I nod grabbing the bag of chocolate and giving it to her.

"So, I see you and Harry made up." She says starting conversation.

"Yeah we did." I say.

"That's great. He was miserable this whole summer without you." She tells me.

"Oh, really?" I say.

I know Harry said he was but I didn't think he was that much or that other people could tell.

"Mhm. I was worried about the poor boy." She shakes her head.

"Well I'm happy to be friends with him again." I say.

"Friends, is that really all you guys are? Why didn't you get back together? You never did tell me why you broke up." She questions.

"Yes we're just friends. We didn't get back together because we thought it was best to be friends."I explain.

She has a small smile on her face as she mixes the cookie dough together.

"What?" I ask.

"You never stay friends with someone you once loved honey." She says. "Grab me that pan."

I don't reply to her comment and grab her the pan. After we scoop out the cookie dough balls onto the pan we put them into the oven.

"I'm gonna head to bed." I tell her.

She raises an eyebrow. "Already? It's only 9."

"Yeah. I'm really tired." I say.

"Alright. Goodnight Ellie." She says hugging me.

"Night Mum." I say.

I go up to my room and get into bed. I quickly fall asleep.
