I'm "That" girl

Chapter twenty five

I  was so shocked. I didn't know what to say. Harry had just thrown Mason at the fence and just started punching him over and over. He was swearing a lot and Mason tried to fight back but Harry just overpowered him.

I heard yelling and I turned around and saw Louis and Liam running over, behind them was Darcy. Fucking Darcy..

"Harry! Stop!" Liam yelled.

Louis pulled Harry away and Liam was going to grab Mason but he just fell to the ground, nearly unconscious.

I looked at Harry and I knew he wanted to go back. He wanted to rip Mason apart.

I didn't notice at first but I realised I was crying, and shaking. Liam looked up at me and rushed over. He pulled me in his arms and ran his hands through my hair and was whispering comforting words like, "It's ok." And "You're safe now."

I was looking over Liam's shoulder and over at Harry. Louis had his hands on his shoulders, talking to him and every time Harry would look at Mason, Louis would tell him to listen to him.

I looked at Mason and he was still pretty helpless. Darcy was standing behind everyone, looking guilty and covering her mouth looking at Harry so angry.

Louis looked at Darcy and he looked so pissed. She must have told him what she did. She looked so scared as well, she knew what she had done.

"Since you fucking started this all, you get him out of here!" He yells at her.

Darcy didn't reply and cowardly walked to Mason, helping him up and leading him out.

"Don't ever come near us again either, fuckhead!" Harry yells as she takes him away.

Liam's grip loosened around me and I had eye contact with Harry. He ripped out of Louis' grip and came over to me, pushing past Liam, and wrapping his arms around me tightly. He dug his face in my neck and I closed my eyes because he is just so perfect and I can't deal.

"I'll go make sure he's actually gone." Liam says.

Harry didn't say anything, and Liam left.

"Harry do you need anything?" Louis asked.

"No." Is all Harry replied.

I looked at Lou and he whispered "would you like some time alone?"

I nodded and tried to push out a smile.

He smiled back comfortingly and left.

I breathed deeply into Harry's chest and a few more tears fell out.

"I'm so sorry." Harry whispers, he just sounded so quiet and sad.

"Don't be sorry." I say back.

He pulls away so he can look at me and I notice he has a busted lip.

"Harry, are you ok?" I ask.

"Don't worry about me. I'm so fucking sorry. I shouldn't have let you go off alone with someone who Darcy wouldn't even tell us-"

"Harry! Stop saying sorry. It wasn't your fault! If it was anyone's fault it's Darcy's. I'm sorry but I haven't liked her since the start."

Harry didn't say anything, he just looked at me.

"But thankyou so much. Thankyou Harry. Thankyou for hearing me. Thankyou for protecting me"

Harry smiled and that made me smile.

"I'll always protect you." He says.

"And I, you."

He smiled and just hugged me again. He hugged me so comfortingly and I felt like I was going to melt into his arms. And he was so warm, I loved it.

"Wanna go?" He asks.

"Where?" I ask.

"Wherever you want. As long as it's not near that fucking asshole."

--------------------------

We ended up walking to a nearby beach. It was late at night but I could still see the beautiful waves and water. We decided to sit down because we did walk a pretty long way. When I sat down on the soft sand I let out a sigh of relief. I've had such a horrible night.

Harry sits down awfully close to me, our thighs touch but obviously I didn't mind. He makes me feel safe.

We were quiet for a moment.

"Why did Darcy want me to go to him?" I ask. I wasn't really asking Harry that question. Mainly myself. I was so confused. Why did she? Does she really hate me that much?

"I have no idea. She's a fucking idiot."

"She seemed like she hated me too, and I did nothing to her."

Harry was quiet for a moment, like he didn't know what to say.

"I know why."

I looked at him and he was already looking at me.

He sighed. "She... When you left, she came back to me. And she.. She's jealous Emily. She's jealous of you. She thought that we were together and she told me that all this shit that..."

He stopped talking and looked down. Why did he stop?

"Emily, she kissed me."

I was taken by surprise. I was shocked. She kissed him?

I could feel a lump start to grow in my throat and I looked down.

"I pulled away though. Because before that, she was being horrible. She was being so cruel about you and I hate it when people say stuff about you. They're not allowed. And I don't like her, and plus, she's just gone and dug herself a bigger hole."

The urge to cry was starting to fade away. He pulled away from her kiss, and got angry at her for being rude towards me.

"I'm sorry. I don't want to make you upset, I just needed to tell you." He seemed really sad.

"It's ok." I say back. I didn't have much emotion at the moment.

There was a moment of silence but I remembered something.

"Harry."

"Yes?" He replies.

"Before Darcy came out to us. Were you going to say something to me?"

I looked at him and he started playing with his hands, acting nervous.

He made a little "umm" noise and he sounded adorable. And he was just really nervous.

"Fuck it." He says as he stops playing with his hands.

He looks at me and I kinda just stare at him confused.

He shakes his head and let's out a nervous chuckle.

"Fuck, Emily, I really like you."

He looked at me and I was shocked. It suddenly felt like there was 1000 butterflies flapping around in my stomach and my heart was beating really fast.

"And, I don't know if you like me back, but I like you so much, I have for ages, and when I saw Mason holding you down, I just fucking lost it because you're mine and no one can touch you."

I still was breathless. Harry fucking Styles just admitted he likes me! He likes me back! Is this real? Am I dreaming?

"Harry..." I say.. But I was interrupted.

He leaned in and then kissed me. I didn't even care about his busted lip he had because it was just perfect. He is perfect.

But then it actually hit me.

Harry Styles just kissed me.
