Chapter 7: I'm Falling, Will You Be There To Catch Me?

I looked at him. "H-Harry....I...I can't. I'm sorry.... I have been hurt all too many times, and I'm not going to make the same mistake twice." I sighed. He started to tear up again but answered, "I know, Kaylynn, you're fragile I can tell, but please..... Just give me a chance. Everyone deserves at least one chance right? I love you..." "Harry! You just met me! Why? Why me anyway? I'm just a normal seventeen year old girl..... "He was holding back tears, I could tell. "Because you are YOU Kaylynn! That's exactly why; I can feel myself falling for you..... Let me tell you a story. I used to find these beautiful girls all over the world, date them, and play them off like they were nothing. I never felt or I guess even understood what love was until I met you. Just these strong tense feelings inside of me telling me wow.... this must be what love feels like. I knew you were different apart from all the others..... And that I was going to keep you, love you and protect you as my own, instead of playing you off...... from the first moment I saw you...... I couldn't bear to lose you....." He was getting frustrated now because of my silence and cussed at me. "Damn it Kaylynn! Do you think I would be bawling my heart out over YOU when I have never in my life cried over a girl?" He put his face in his hands and sniffled, ran his hands through his curls. I started to cry. I was so confused..... And slightly scared, but most of all I wanted him to calm down and stop yelling at me. Then, he looked up. No no no..... Kaylynn.... please doesn't cry. Angels shouldn't cry. You shouldn't mess up your beautiful face with those tears....." He wiped my tears, but I kept crying. "H-Harry..... I'm so confused..... I'm scared I'm going to fall and get hurt......" I covered my face in my hands. He moved my hands away and gently held them. "Look at me.... Don't be scared.... I will protect you with my life and it doesn't matter what you say or do.... I will always love you. Okay?" I nodded, as he pulled me into his arms. I couldn't believe how safe I felt in his warm, strong structure. I calmed down, tears still falling, as he let go, and looked straight into my fear filled eyes. I didn't even have time to stop myself, much less think, before I kissed him.
