Rock me

Part 7

He stared at me in shock. "Your-your dad does this to you?" He seem angry now.

I started shaking.

"Yeah-."

He cut me off by bringing me into a hug which caught me off guard.

"I'm so sorry Dylan, you don't deserve this." He says in almost a whisper.

I'm on the verge of tears at this point, but try to stay calm.

"Hey, you don't know me too well maybe I do deserve them." I say in a joking tone.

He gets tense and pulls away.

"Don't say that, there's nothing you could do that would make what he does okay."

I start sobbing and shaking even more than before. I've never had anyone validate me like this. No one's ever known about the abuse, so this is so new to me.

He embraces me again.

"Hey, it's going to be okay I'm right here." He says while rubbing my head.

I pulled away for a second. Suddenly very close to his face.

"Can we lay down for a bit, it usually helps when I breakdown like this."

"This happens a lot?" He questions.

"Um mostly just after "it" happens.

He frowns after I say it.

He readjust himself to laying against the couch and leave his arm out. I lay down next to him keeping my head on his arm and putting my arm on his chest. He continues to run his hands through my hair to calm me down.

I start taking deep breaths and am suddenly really tired.

"I'm feeling better, but I honestly might fall asleep." I warn him

"That's alright, I'm tired too. We didn't get much sleep last night."

I close my eyes and think about how comfortable I am. As a bonus he smells amazing.

These last 24 hours have been a lot. I'm thankful to be away from my family even if it's been stressful. Harry's been nothing but nice and the other boys have been quite welcoming. I'm not sure what my plan is after tonight, but I could get used to this.

I was half asleep at this point, but I felt Harry move his head towards me and kiss my forehead.

I didn't want to move. I wasn't sure if he thought I was asleep or if he wanted me to know he did that.

"Harry, are you in there? We've gotta be on stage in 30 you gotta get up!" Niall exclaims from outside the door.

I open my eyes and sit up a bit looking over at Harry. He's still asleep. I push on his arm a bit trying to wake him. I start hearing Niall trying to open the door.

"Dude why is your door locked?"

"Oh my gosh, do you have your girlfriend in there? Gross." Niall adds on.

I stand up and go unlock the door.

"Oh hi." Niall says.
