Just friends

Chapter 6

I start to panic and run over to Harry.

"Harry Harry wake up please" I scream about 4 times.

His eyes fly open and his eyes dart to me and grabs me...and holds me....tight. He's breathing heaving. His heart is racing. He's all sweaty.

"Are you okay? what happened". I ask as he's still holding me. He stays quiet. I pick my head up from his shoulder to look at him. His eyes are closed and he's still breathing heaving.

"Harry"

"yeah"

"Do you want to talk about it"

"No not really" he pled's

"Are you okay now" I ask

"I don't know" he says quietly

"well I'm going back down stairs. If you ne.." He cuts me off. "No stay here" he begs. "I can't, what about Emma?" I try to not to say but I had too. "No, I don't care right now. I just need you and you in my arms. As long as your" he stops. "what do you mean as long as I'm?" I ask. "As long as your safe" I say quiet.

"Fine. I'll stay, up here" I say. He smiles and grabs me and pulls me into his bed and next to him.

"Are you sure?" I need to make sure

"yes, Honesty I don't even know if she would care." He says.

I stay quiet. "Let's just go to bed" he asks. "Okay harry" I answer.

I turn to my side but to only feel Harry grab my waist and pull my closer to him and into his arms.

A smile grows onto my face and I blush. I try to hold my squeals. They stay in.

I wake up with Harry's arms still around me. I look at my clock and its 5:30. I need to get up and get ready for school. School, i don't have clothes. There in my house which I can't get in too.

I turn to Harry "Harry wake up. we have school" I try to wake him up.
Thankfully he wakes up on my second try.

"Let's skip" he asks.

"what why?" I ask

"well, last night was a tough night, I barley got any sleep and you don't have any new clothes to wear today." He smirks knowing he's right.

"your right but it's not right to skip" I try to persuade him.

"Still, we can go tomorrow." He tells me and pulls a strand of hair away from my face and around my ear.

I smirk and look at him. "Fine, you win this battle" and I lay back down.

"Thank you for last night." I hear him say and I turn to him.

"Could you tell me what happened?" I ask seeing if he will tell me.

He stays quiet for a couple seconds then speaks. But he's looking down "I had a nightmare. A bad one. I have them a couple times a month. This was my 3 this week." He tells me still looking down.

I use my finger to push his face up. "what where they about" I ask

"you" he tells me. Looking straight into my eyes.

"what do you mean?" I question my best friend.

"I have night mares about Luke."

"Luke? why are you dreaming about him. That was 2 years ago?" I say

"Because it comes to my mind. Him hurting you and you coming home crying and bruised. I wanted to kill him. So bad. But I know if I did that I would be in jail right now. Like how he should be." He says

Luke was my old boyfriend. He use to beat me and tell me horrible things. "I'm sorry" I say

"Don't be, please. He's not your fault." He leads in and kisses my forehead.

"It's early. Let's just go back to bed. " I change the subject

"yeah of course. I agree" he lays back down.

I wake up a couple hours later. It's 10:00. I feel weird about missing school. I unwrap Harry's arms from me and get out of bed. He's still asleep and I'm going to leave it that way.

A couple minutes later I hear a loud knock at the door. Harry's still sleeping. I run downstairs and open the door.

Emma's standing there with a confused look on her face. "what are you doing here" she asks. " I should say the same" I claim. "Just answer me" she says rudely.

"I had to stay the night. " I say

"why" she asks me.

"Because I got locked out of my house and my parents aren't home." I claim to her.

"And so where's his parents"

"They are on a business trip like mine" I say somewhat rudely.

"Oh so you guys are home along in a house together over night. yeah that sounds right." She tells me

"Stop, were only friends. I slept on the couch and he slept upstairs." I lie to her.

"Fine. why aren't you guys at school" she asks me more.

"I don't know I guess we slept in" I lie again.

She turns around and leaves without saying another word. I shut the door to her harry scream my name again.
