Leah's POV

Harry sighed and stared down at his lap. A silent tear rolled down my cheek, but I wiped it away not wanting Harry to see.

"Fine. But if he hits you again, I swear to god, ill hit him. Got it?" I shook my head, my speak inhibited by the knot in my throat.

"Let's just start over. Hello, I'm Leah. It's nice to meet you Mr. Styles." Harry smiled at me.

"Well hello Leah, it's my pleasure. Now as I was saying, I really enjoyed your performance tonight." His smile could make any girl melt and his words were more fluent than you would think. It's as if he's practiced them.

"I try. Hey, um, not to sound rude or anything but, how did you ever find me?" I tucked more hair behind my ear and looked down nervously. I heard him scoff and chuckle a bit and I looked back up.

"I was looking through my twitter feed and found a beautiful girl's profile. When I refreshed her feed, I found out she was doing a twitcam . I couldn't just sit by and let this practically perfect girl slip from my fingertips! So I tuned in, and it was one of the best decisions of my life, because I'm talking to her." My cheeks burned. A wave of heat flashed through me and a smile crept into my lips.

"You must be going blind from all those stage lights, styles. Or your talking about another girl."

Harry's POV

Her words hit me like knives. How could someone so beautiful be so sad? I still don't understand that.

We skyped for a long time, two or three hours. Her eyelids started to droop and I could see the tired starting to set in her face and I chuckled.

"What?" She said, stifling a yawn.

"You're tired, aren't you?" I smiled, seeing her shake her head.

"Nuh-uh. I could stay up for hours." She yawned again and her head slumped a bit. I laughed again.

"Why don't you go back? You need to sleep." She obliged and soon enough was back in her room.

"Goodnight Leah."

"Wait, Harry. Will you please sing to me?" She plugged in her headphones to the computer and laid down facing me.

"Okay, what should I sing?" She sighed and responded with 'anything'.

"Ummm... Hm.. I know!

I've been alone

Surrounded by darkeness

I've seen how heartless

The world can be...

Baby, you're not alone

Cus' you're here with me

And nothin's ever gonna

Bring us down cus'

Nothing can keep me from loving you

And you know it's true

Our love is all we need to make it through...

Goodnight Leah." I could hear her breathing become heavy. I wanted to be there with her, hold her, tell her it would be alright. Because when she closed her eyes,

I watched the tear drop. Silently begging for help.
