Behind The Mask II Harry Styles #Wattys2015

Chapter 63

Alyssa's P.O.V.

I was awoken by the feeling of fingers tracing over my arm. I fluttered my eyes open to see a mop of brown curls and green eyes. I instantly pulled back, my body aching in the process. Harry's eyebrows furrowed together.

"What's wrong, babe?" He asked, softly. I eyed him carefully, noticing that his shirt was off. We were both laying in his bed. I was frightened by him. Was he back to normal yet or still in one of his episodes? I was afraid that anything could trigger it.

"I asked if you were okay, sweetie." His deep morning voice snapped my out of my thoughts.

"Y-yeah." I said in a small voice.

"Why are you acting so funny this morning?" He asked me. I shrugged. I didn't know how to reply to him. Was he gonna freak out again and tie me up in the basement? Was he safe to be around? I didn't know.

"I'm thirsty." I said.

"I'll go get you some water, hun." He said, getting out of bed in only his boxers. What was I going to do now? He seemed normal but how could I stay with someone who was a threat? He was dangerous last night. He could have easily killed me. I ran my fingers through my tangled hair, thinking of what I should do. He doesn't even seem to remember anything about the days before. Should I tell him? Harry walked into the room with a glass full of water. He handed it to me and curled up next to me.

I brought the cold water to my chapped lips and drank gratefully. It seemed like it had been days since I last drank. It probably was. Harry's fingers traced over the exposed skin of my shoulder and down to my arms again. His fingers entwined with mine and he smiled up at me. I managed a small smile and finished the glass of water.

"What are these?" Harry asked. I looked to see what he was talking about. His thumb lightly traced over the wounded skin of my wrists. The rope had left a deep, bloody indentation. Should I tell him they were from him?

"They're nothing." I quickly said. He frowned at me, not believing me.

"I have a feeling there's something you're not telling me." He started. "Please tell me what happened." He begged. I looked into his pleading eyes and nodded.

"You." Is all I could manage to say. His eyes furrowed.

"What do you mean, me?" He asked.

"You did this to me. The other night you got really mad for some reason and you tied me up in the basement and tortured me. You left me there for a long time with no food or water. You finally let me down and I can't remember anything after that...." It was really hard for me to say. His eyes widened.

"No..." He whispered.

"Please tell me you're lying." He said. I shook my head.

"No no no no..." He grabbed a fist full of his hair.

"Fuck no! Why did I do that to you?!?" He frustratingly said.

"I'm so fucking sorry, Alyssa. I told you to hide from me when I'm like that. I never meant to hurt you. Tell me exactly what I did. I need to know." He said, holding my hand. I slowly nodded and told him everything. I waited until the end to ask him about what was bothering me the most.

"A-and you said...."

"I said what?..."He inquired.

"You said you didn't want to...sleep with me, but I was pretty when I was yours." I said, a tear slipping from my cheek.

"Oh, honey...." He started. I stopped him.

"Is that how you really feel? Do you really love me or are you just leading me on and using me? I love you more than anyone I've ever loved before. You confuse me so much and you make me feel so vulnerable. I gave everything to you. I gave you my love, my heart, and my virginity. Now I'm finding out that I mean nothing to you. You just want me because you can't keep it in your pants! I am not your object, Harry...." I cried out. His features softened.

"No, Alyssa. That's not it at all. Please just listen to me." He started. "I never thought that I could love again. I never thought that I could fall so hard for someone. Ever since I saw you for the first time, I knew that I had to make you mine. Don't believe anything that I say to you when I am having one of my episodes because that's not me talking. It's him. I love you so much and I know you're never gonna trust me again. I'm a terrible person and I don't deserve you. You don't understand, I need you so much..." He said, his eyes getting watery. I wasn't used to seeing Harry in such a vulnerable state. It made me want to just hold him and tell him everything was gonna be alright. But I didn't know if that was true. Without thinking, I just threw my arms around him.

"I don't know what it is about you, Alyssa....but there's something in your eyes that just pulled me in. I would never want anybody else. You mean everything to me and I can't loose you. There's a fire in your eyes, and it's burning the ice inside my heart." A tear fell down my cheek and landed on Harry's bare skin.

"Promise me that you will never leave me..." He said, his voice cracking. He was crying. I squeezed him tighter and nodded.

"I love you, Harry. I would never leave you."
