Shedding Tears [COMPLETED] #Wattys2016

Chapter 9

I have just come back from school, finally a weekend. However, school seems more fun now because Harry and I are dating. It is all i have wanted the first time a locked a gaze at him. We're together almost all the time, except the classes we don't share. We have lunch together with the rest of the squad including his football jocks, usually Kyle and Justin only since Leo is always busy sucking the shit out of karens mouth all the time. Gross. When hes in the football field, i sit on ue bleechers watching him play like a legend. He occasionally sends me flying kisses causing me to blush a lot.

So finally a weekend, we have a movie hangout with the squad, not like a date but just a simple get together on Saturday night which means i have to finish all my homework today so i can enjoy tomorrow. I have a lot of chores to do as well, cooking, washing, cleaning, organising Ben: Everything that makes me miss mum even more. Sigh. Usually Harry or Jane come over to help me with all the work but tonight its just Ben and I alone. I cook dinner and we're having it peacefully.
'When do you think mum will come back home?' My 10 year old brother asks me innocently. 'I dont know Ben, she shouldnt take long. Pray for her, yeah?' I reply as he nods.

He helps me clean up the kitchen as i sit on the bar stool drinking a glass of cold water. The doorbell rings. 'Ben could you get the door for me?' I yell out sipping my water.
After two minutes Ben comes in the kitchen. 'Its him' he says as he goes upstairs. I smile, Harry! I wipe my hands with a towel as i enter the living room where the guest is settled.

'Hey bab-' I stop with a shock. 'What the hell are you doing here Sebastian?' I look at him with utter horror and anger. He stands up and starts walking towards me. I can already sense the panicked atmosphere. 'Stop right there' i command and to my surprise he obeys.
'Listen Stacey' he continues. 'Please come back to me. Harry isnt good for you, hes just like another boy who wants to get in your pants, hes taking advantage of you. Please understand.' His eyes worried. I would have believed that loser if he wasnt my ex who dumped me to get another girl in bed.

'Shut up. Nobody talks shit about my man!' I deadpan shooting him a glare. 'Just get the hell out o-' I'm cut off as he leans on top of me towering me kissing me with so much passion. He grabs my waist and pins me against the wall. His kiss is so strong, punishing. My eyes go wide in horror as i shove him back, without returning the kiss. He looks at me in dismay as i slap him hard. I push him back till he is out of the door, i shut the door at his face and lock it.

I slide down by the door and bury my head in my hands, crying. 'You pathetic bitch!' Sebastian screams from the other end. 'You just can't turn your back on me, now you see what i do with you. Mark my words, you slut!' He leaves. I sit there sobbing, tears streaming down my face as my body goes numb. In no time there is a knock on my door. 'Babe? Hey, babe?' The other person says. I lift my head up hearing this familiar yet soothing voice. 'H-harry? Is t-that y-you?' I stutter. 'Yeah, open the door, babe' he says as i quickly open the door and jump in his arms, sobbing in his chest.

'Shh calm down babe, did he hurt you?' He asks, his voice angry and concerned, all at the same time. I look at him but then quickly turn down in his chest, scared. Will Harry be mad at me if i told him what just happened? The kiss. Should i tell him?
Of course, hes your boyfriend and he has a right to know.
He quietly sits me on the couch rubbing my back.
'I saw sebastian driving out of the driveway. Why was he here? What happened? He asks in a calmed tone.

I tell him everything. His words. The kiss. My response. His threat. Everything. Harry sits straight showing no emotion at all. 'S-sorry!' I cry out, 'I swear i didnt know this was going to happen, had i known he was at the door in the first place i would have slammed it shut in his face. I didnt kiss him back, please talk to me Harry' I cry in so much desperation and fear, only to receive a cold shoulder from him, he doesnt hug me back nor does he say a word. He just gets up and makes his way out of the door. I stare at his leaving figure. He left me. He fucking left me.

I run usptairs and cry till my eyes cant anymore. I take two of my pills as i sob until i drown into a dark river of my sleep.

******************************

Harry's POV:

She tells me everything. His words. The kiss. Her reponse. His threat. I sit there, anger rising like a volcano about to explode. She leaps in, crying. I trust her with every morsel of my body, i know she is innocent and i know Sebastian has to pay. I stand up and leave her house. I sit in the car, and let out a catharsis. I was angry at Seb, scared for Stacey, guilty as i couldnt be there to protect her. All these feelings mixed up, were hammering my brain.

The next thing i know, i am outside sebastian's door and i knock on it hungrily. Hungry for seb's flesh. He opens the door and i jump at him pinning him against the floor. I punch on the nose causing it to bleed and kick him in the balls. He stares at me with utter horror, his eyes open wide. He doesnt resist since i am the dominant one this time. I grab his collar and beat him hard. When i know hes about to faint, i say quietly, yet terrifyingly, 'If i see you near my girl, you're dead motherfucker.' I stand up and go, leaving Sebastian in the pool of his own blood.

I go back to staceys house, Ben opens the door. He hugs me as if he doesnt have a clue what just happened hours back. I make my way to Staceys room, shes sleeping in her bed, the room lights on. Her eyes and cheeks are still wet as i kiss her on the forehead and cover he properly. A bottle catches my eye. I stand there, shocked. Antidepressants? Stacey uses these pills? I look at the familiar bottle. Those dark brown pills laughing at me bringing tons of memories. I remember my sister having those when her boyfriend dumped her, the overdosage killed her. Yeah, killed her.

I stare at the perfection lying beside me. I lost my sister because of these and I'm not gonna lose my beautiful girlfriend. I'll protect her. I tear rolls down as i wipe it with the corner of my sleeve. I kiss her forehead one last time as i sleep on the couch in the living room.

******************************

Stacey's POV:

The next morning, I walk down and see Harry lying down on the couch. How long has he been there? I quietly wake him up as he pulls me into a tight hug. 'Babe, I'm sorry' he says, his morning voice sexy as ever. And just like that everything went back to normal. We are seated on the breakfast table, as i lay down pancakes in our plates. I notice him staring at me as i look towards him and smile. 'Checking me out, huh?' I giggle. He smirks and say, 'Babe can i ask you a question?' I nod, 'But can i ask you one first?' I say. He nods, and the peaceful atmosphere went to a silent yet disturbing ambiance.
