Captivated

Chapter 6

The appropriate thing to do in this situation, was to keep me and Jenny on the down low. I didn't want to get mixed up even more, into Harry's bullshit. Don't get me wrong, I am forever grateful that he saved us. But that doesn't mean, I want to get involved into his gang life. Even he warned me himself. This was dangerous territory. Who knew that British people, were about that life? I only thought gangs were in America or even Central America. So when Monday came around, I tried my best to keep my distance from Harry. Deep down, I was hoping that he would come and change my mind, and tell me that he didn't care about the consequences, that he only needed me. And all that romantic bull crap, I seriously needed to take a chill pill. My feelings for Harry, were getting more confused. I didn't have time for this, for god's sake! I just wanted to finish the rest of the school year in peace.

I was too busy sulking next to my locker that I didn't realized Jenny was in front of me, rambling about who knows what?

"Apparently, word got out about our attempted kidnapping. Like, how humiliating is that?" that had caught my attention.

"Wait, hold up! Who told you that? Are you being serious?" I was freaking out, I mean hello! All of this was supposed to be under wraps.

"Whoa chill. The whole school is talking about, Carmen told me, and she heard it from Ben, Ben heard it from Jake..." she kept on and on. I was hyperventilating, at this point. If harry found it, then that means his gang would find out. We were in deep shit!

"Calm down, mate. You're freaking me out! What is it that you American's say, woosah?" she grabbed my shoulders, shaking me, as if that would help me calm down. I had lied to Jenny, she doesn't know the real reason why I am freaking out. Maybe I should tell her.

Pulling her arms, away from my shoulders. I looked at her straight in the eyes, "Jenny I need to tell you something. I need you to understand how serious is this okay?" I may have been talking to her like if she was a five year old, but sometimes Jenny didn't take things seriously.

I think I had gotten through to her, because she had shut up. But instead of looking at me, she was looking at something behind me. I turned around, irritated that she wasn't paying attention to me. Coming towards us, or should I say me. Came a very pissed off Harry. I gulped. Oh shit, I'm pretty sure he found out.

He grabbed me by arm, and started dragging me away from Jenny. "We need to talk." That's all he said. I was too scared, to even say anything.

Oh shit, am I going to die? Whoever was there last night, and started spreading the gossip, is so going to freaking regret it. I swear, I am going to find that person and make sure that they wish they were never born.

He opened a closet, which I'm pretty sure was a janitor's closet. He slammed the door shut, and I flinched. He turned the light, which illuminated the room enough for me to see Harry's face. Oh how I wish I didn't. I had never seen him so mad in my few weeks of knowing him.

"I told you specifically not to tell anyone! Do you not fucking listen?!" he growled. Ok I may be scared of him, but it irritated me so much that he thought I had spread the gossip. It also hurt, because I thought that he had trusted me. Guess I was wrong.

"I didn't tell anyone! So don't come here accusing me of shit that I didn't do! Instead of yelling at me, go find the person who did!" I yelled right back at him. I crossed my arms, and I made sure I gave him a very dirty look.

If looks could kill, his ass would be 6 feet under, right now. He was breathing hard, trying to control his anger. "I'm sorry, there is just too much at stake." I wanted to comfort him, but I didn't see the point. We were already in this mess.

"Is it really that bad that your gang finds out?" I asked

He sighed heavily, as if he was exhausted. "It's not just about them, it's much more complicated than that."

"I- I don't understand. What do you mean?" I asked confused.

"I can't say. Not now anyways, first I need to figure out who opened their mouth and figure out about my gang." He looked at me with a sad expression. It kind of melted my heart, to see him so...down. He lightly brushed his fingers, across my cheek.

"I'll stop by later at your place, make sure your there." My heart sped up, at what he said. I was so nervous, that I was at loss with words. All I could think about, was that almost kiss we had. What if this time, something actually happened?

I nodded, and without a word he opened the door and left. I just stood there, trying to calm my rapid heart.
