Bathroom {h;s}

Chapter 26

Isabelle POV:
i can't believe i was so stupid to automatically think that harry did it with melanie. but than again what about how he suddenly started acting like a self conceited jerk? that's gonna be my next question.

"i'm so sorry babygirl. i really am." i heard harry say.

he now had his arm wrapped around me trying to comfort me. meanwhile i tried my best not to cry. i took a sip of my water then looked up to harry,

"it's your turn to ask a question now."

"okay." he unwrapped his arm around me then scooted away a little so he can turn and fully face me. i faced him too.

"what did mr.briggs mean when he said "i understand why you did what you did" when we were back at school?" he asked the question for about the hundredth time. he must really be determined to find out.

"remember to tell the truth." he added.

"mr.briggs is my uncle. he sometimes watched over me, nate, and adri whenever our parents went off to business trips when we were a little younger and they didn't trust us to be alone yet aka, freshman to second semester of junior year. he became like a father figure to me meaning i told him everything. including, being bullied by melanie reese. she would always call me worthless, a piece of trash, all kinds of stuff."

i started sniffing which caused harry to wrap his arm around me again.

i took a deep breath and continued, "somedays it would exceed to her slapping me in the face. i will tell my uncle and he would talk to melanie and give her suspensions but it wouldn't stop her. it actually made her have more of a reason to bully me. i always wanted to slap her back but my uncle always told me i'd just get into trouble too and to let him handle it. so i bottled all my anger up. my uncle knew why i beat up mel so much, it was because my anger was bottled up for so long and so when i finally cracked i couldn't stop. even when i knew i was so close to killing her. i felt mad while beating her. and it was the most awful feeling."

i was now crying my eyes out as i finished. harry was comforting me and whispering soft words into my ear. and eventually i stopped crying.

Harry POV:
i wanna kill melanie! i can't believe she'd do that to belle! she doesn't deserve to be treated like that.

i was now holding on to a crying isabelle trying to comfort her. while i whispered soft things into her ear i thought about how evil melanie is. now i regret stopping belle from beating her ass. she stopped crying so i asked,

"why didn't you just do something? who cares about getting in a little trouble? it's not good to bottle up your anger." i asked her finally.

"you realize that 2 questions right? is that what you wanna use them for?"

"sure. now answer it."

"i didn't do anything because i'd get exactly that, in trouble. and i care because if i got into trouble my parents would basically disown me. they don't like delinquents period. they want nothing to do with them. and if they found out their child was one they wouldn't hesitate to send us off to someone who tolerates that "attitude" as my mother had said." she told me.

i nodded. wow. tough parents.we sat there in silence as i thought about her parents and about melanie bullying her.

"so harry," i heard her say suddenly.

"yes baby?"

"i have my second question ready."

"what is it?"

"why did you change all of a sudden,  after the day i saw you with melanie?"

"what do you mean by changed?"

"yenno.... full on self conceited jerk, arrogant, controlling, player...?"

"ouch... buut, i changed because after the incident with melanie i tried talking to you but you completely ignored me. i thought i lost you so i started taking out my anger of loosing you on other women. i know that's wrong but i couldn't help it. which leads to why i started dating melanie, to try and forget about you. it didn't work though..."

"are you gonna break up with her now that you know you didn't loose me? since you don't have to forget about me."

"is that your third and final question?"

"uhh no. i think im gonna save that one. besides, i dont wanna waste it on the bitch melanie."

"then i dont have to answer that. but ok baby." i said with a laugh.

she smiled and so did i.

"we better start finishing our food and then head home. it's getting late." she finally said.

"more like start our food."

we laughed and i moved back to the opposite side of the booth and we started eating.
