Are you nervous?

Chapter 7 || new friend

Her pov:

 ,, I do'' He said smiling and pulling me into a hug.

He finally calmed me down after 30 minutes of crying or even more. I was hugging him tightly I never want to end this moment ever. But I couldn't stop thinking about why he did that. Maybe he feels sorry for me, maybe he knows how to calm people, maybe he has a crush on me? Oh god no, no way. No one would like me, ever. No one would like me with this style of clothes, my fat thighs, having a baby face, like never, especially my scars.

,, What are you thinking, princess?'' He said in a calm, relaxing, worried voice looking right down into my eyes.

,, What do you think?'' I asked him. I don't know if I should open up to someone new or not, I can't even open up to my mom. What if he laughs at me, what if he starts thinking I'm crazy, what if he starts ignoring me? I don't want that. I want at least once a perfect day without being insecure and be happy at once.

,, Hmm, I'll try to guess, punch me in the face?'' He said sarcastically.

,, Never'' I told him. He definitely knew I wasn't lying. He knew I didn't think like that. I could never. He could never hear me say it, not from me. Never.

,, Are you okay now?'' he asked me lifting my chin. Those eyes blue ocean eyes looking at me like I'm dying and saying that I'm going to be okay. I'm going to be okay. Not now, but someday, very soon. 

,, I'm fine now, but I'll need another hug, I'm kind of addicted to hugs'' I smiled, that was my real smile, I always used to love hugs, they were my comfort in childhood and now, hugs are my comfort, and if someone asked me to hug I would accept it without thinking. 

,, Well then come here, and give me that big hug'' he said spreading his hands. I hugged him tight like I don't want to let him go.

,, You know I can't breathe'' he said not breathing.

,, I know'' smiled and released that tightness. ,, Harden'' I said, I wanted to ask him one single thing. I needed to know. I really did, and there's no other time to ask.

,, mm? '' He made noise telling me to ask.

,, Why are you helping me? I'm just a new girl'' I asked, that was what I wanted to ask all those 30 min. I wanted to hear his answer, why was he helping me at my lowest? Why is he so kind to me? Why me and not other popular hot girls with perfect bodies, styles, hairstyles, and no scars. I just needed to know one single thing. He opened his mouth to answer, but the bathroom door opened and someone came in. That one boy I hate the most, the most disgusting bully, the rudest person I've ever met. James. He looked at me with a confused face and lift up his gaze to Harden, we were still hugging and he was just standing there. I just saw  his face Satan boiling, I knew he wanted to punch in his face, but I was in front of him and he couldn't do that. He turn his gaze down at me again, he was angry when I should be angry at me, what he did to me. His jaw glanced. He turned his gaze up at him again.

,, Get away from her'' He said taking deep breathes. He was tensed, like the lion about to burst out of his body. I got scared, even tho I know how to deal with him. But I wasn't scared he will knock me off with those strong hands, but I was scared for Harden. I turn my gaze to Harden to see his reaction, but he was tensed too, looking at James, they both looked like they are both going to fight this second. I stood up and Harden's gaze turned to me. I turned to James.

,, You don't tell me what to do, asshole'' I said, I was saying the truth, he's not my dad or my mom to tell me what to do, and I'm supposed to listen. James turned his gaze at me confused, but still angry.
