13. Truth

******

*Harry's POV*

[Flashback]

School had finally ended and I couldn't be more relieved. I was still fuming but at least I wasn't in school anymore. I'm going to have to confront that son of a bitch I called a friend for all these years. I don't know if Connie was just saying that to get a rise out of me or if she was telling the truth. That's exactly why I have to go and talk to him.

If she was telling the truth then I'll have to have a word with him. Well by work I mean beat his sorry ass.

If Niall did do that then I guess our friendship meant nothing to him. I thought Niall liked Bella? He always told me how attractive he thought she was. He told me how when the opportunity came he would ask her out.

He might have just liked her because at the time I was thinking about asking her out myself. I just remember thinking about how jealous I was.

Anyway I was going to my car to drive to meet Niall. I thought about texting him and asking to meet me somewhere, but I know where he'll be at this hour. He's down at the football field having practice with all his delinquent friends.

I hate the football team so much. There's only a few decent people on the team.

I parked my car up on the hill and made my way down to the field. All the players were running up and down the field while I approached them. When I reached them I stopped and waited for them to notice me.

"Niall!" I yelled loud enough for him to hear me. He took his helmet off and looked around to see who called him. When his eyes met mine they grew with fear.

I motioned for him to come over to me and he did. When he was right in front of me he stopped.

"Can I have a word with you?" He looked around at anything but me. "Alone."

He chocked out an okay and followed me up the hill by the announcer's box. Some of Niall's friends started to follow us but the stopped halfway up the hill.

"I'm not going to beat around the bush, so I'll get straight to the point. Did you or did you not sleep with Connie?" Something told me I didn't want to hear the answer. I didn't really care for her the way I care for Bella, but it's still wrong for your friend to sleep with your current girlfriend.

"Who told you that?" He questioned me. His voice wavered a bit.

That fucking idiot. I knew he sleep with her. I couldn't control myself when my fist made contact with his jaw. He stumbled to the ground while his friends ran up the hill towards me. I moved to strike again but I was held in place by two other forces.

Niall stood up and spit some blood out of his mouth.

"What the fuck Harry?!" He look at me with a mix of shock and anger. "I didn't fuck Connie! We were at a party one night and I got really drunk. She took me to a room with her and she just blew me. I was too drunk to do anything, and nor did I want to." He explained.

Maybe I should have let him tell his story before hitting him. "Well you still did stuff with her while we were dating!" It was kind of all Connie's fault though.

"That's it," he approached me and started to throw punch after punch at my face and my stomach. His friends were cheering him on as he beat me senseless. If this were a fair fight I would have Niall knocked out by now.

With one more fatal blow to my stomach they left me on the ground bleeding. I couldn't get up. With all my strength left I tried but every time I failed.

I decided to lay here until I could actually walk. So for the meantime I guess it's just me and my thoughts.

Why was I even dating Connie in the first place? She never meant anything to me. Why would she hurt Bella? Bella never did anything to her. Oh I remember, because Connie is just a bitch. I hope that I never have to see her face again.

Why did I act out so much when someone hurt my Bella? It's not like anyone tried to kill her, they just tripped her. I know, because she's my Bells. No one messes with Bella, not on my watch.

I've liked her for so long. I've liked her for all the seven years that I've known her.

No, not liked, I loved her. I'm still in love with her.

I need to tell her. She has to know how I truly feel about her. Even if she doesn't feel the same way, she just has to know.

I tried to stand again but I just couldn't. I laid back down in defeat. It was starting to get darker now. It had to be at least eight thirty by now.

I guess Bella will never know if I can't get up.

I need to know if she fells the same way. Maybe that's why she never liked any of my past girlfriends. Maybe she wants to be my girlfriend.

I mustered up all my strength and finally stood up. Slowly but surely I get to my car and went straight to Bella's house.

When I pulled in I didn't see her car. Luckily I have a key to her house so I'll just let myself in. I know that's rude, but I practically live here.

When she finally came home I didn't say anything at first because I didn't know what to say so I just stood there like an idiot.
