Love will Conquer all (sequel to Kidnapped by Who?!)

Chapter 6

Jesslyn POV

We ended up watching a movie to ease some of the tension.

As we were watching Finding Nemo, I could feel Harry staring at me from the corner of my eye. 

I was starting to get really uncomfortable, when Harry got up from the other side of the room. He strutted over, stopping when he was right in front of me.

"Hey, can I uh. Can we talk for a minute?"

I knew where this was going to go.. He was going to yell at me for almost cutting again.

I started shaking a bit, stiffening, but I nodded anyway, just wanting to get the pain out of the way.

I reached out and grabbed his hand, as he helped me off the couch.

I looked back a Niall giving him a 'please help me' look, but he only gave me a reassuring smile.

Harry POV

After seeing her hurt herself the first time absolutely broke my heart. Then seeing her before, made my stomach churn.

I was completely worried that since her memory was gone, so was her happiness.

We could all tell that Niall had been the most hurt. I mean don't get me wrong, we all love Jesslyn, but she and Niall had that connection, yah know? He had tried so hard to gain her trust, and when he finally got her to be his girlfriend, everything was gone in a matter of seconds.

So after building up enough courage to talk to her, hoping I wouldn't startle her. As soon as I asked her face went pale, and she started shaking, but took my hand anyway.

I led her up to my room, and closed the door behind us, as I plopped on my bed.

She stayed at the door, looking unsure of what to do.

I smiled and patted the open spot next to me, "I wont bite."

She smiled hesitantly, and came to sit.

"So uhm. What did you need?"

I was thinking  of ways to ask her if she was going to cut or not, without hurting her feelings but it came out very blunt, "Were you seriously going to do it again?"

Her eyes focused on her lap, "Uhh.. I don't think I was. it just felt reassuring, and good. Yah know?"

I looked at her with a confused face, "No I'm sorry I don't. Do you want to explain?"

She looked me dead in the face, and took a deep breath.

"You see parents with their children. Happy, peaceful. As a kid, when I saw that, I thought something was wrong with me. I could never figure out why my parents couldn't love me. Why they could't take care of me. Why they spat those disgusting words towards me. Why they hit me. At the age of twelve I stared to cut. First it was every once in a while on my wrist. My dad found out, giving me one of the biggest beatings I've ever received. That's when I started to cut on my stomach. The pain of the cuts took away the physical and emotional pain my parents inflicted; especially the pain of being alone. It made me feel numb, and I didn't have to think about anything. When I had turned thirteen, they decided that they were done with me, and sent me to Colorado to go to school there. Since I'm naturally awkward, I was bullied. And when they saw my scars, rumors were spread, making me do it more frequently. The feeling of the cold metal is just something that's so familiar to me. I just wanted to remember."

Jesslyn POV

I finished my story with tears streaming down my cheeks, as I looked up at Harry. I cannot believe I had just told my story to someone I've felt like I've known for a week.

Harry had some tears of his own lingering in his eyes. After a few minutes, he finally spoke up, "I'm so sorry."

"Don't be. It wasn't your fault. It was the past."

"I know but you shouldn't have go through that. And Niall was part of it... There's gotta be a reason why he did what he did."

"I've been wondering since I was four." I chuckled

"Well one day we'll ask him. I want you know that I am here for you. As a friend of course. And I'm going to help you remember.

"Thank you Harry that really means a lot."

"It's no problem" He smiled.

"No it's really sweet what you are doing. It's really nice knowing that I have someone to fall back on."

"Can I?" He motioned for a hug.

I smiled and pulled him in. He was tentative because he didn't want to hurt my ribs, but it still felt reassuring.

I could tell that Harry was serious about us being good friends.

We walked out of the room when the movie ended, and I sat back down next to Niall.

"Everything OK?" He questioned.

"Yeah. Everything is fine."
