Song: Paranoid by Jonas Brothers
Charlotte's POV
One Month Later (It's October now)
I has been one month since Angie picked up the phone and talked to Jeremy. One month since his text message saying that he knows where I am and he will see me soon. I don't think I have ever been so scare or feeling my blood run cold in my veins as I am now and the past month.
Over the course of the past month, I have been keeping my eyes open, making sure that Jeremy didn't just come out of no where. My anxiety is through the roof and I refuse to travel around campus, even in broad daylight, alone. Angie was always with me when walking around. She is the only one that knows whats going on with me. Niall is making guesses on whats going on, but food seems to take over his mind and he will forget about it. Harry...I have kept my distance from him. I'm not completely avoiding him, we do hang out, it's just always with Angie and Niall. We are never alone together. He is starting to get frustrated with me and I understand why. I would be frustrated too if he was doing it to me.
Every once and a while my school work and music will distract me from being on the "look out" for Jeremy. Writing, reading and continuous research for the papers I have to write makes me feel better. But when all my work is done, music on numbs the paranoia away and I'm back to worrying when Jeremy will appear and do whatever he would want with me or my friends.
One chilly, fall afternoon, there was a knock at my door. I looked at Angie and she got up tp answer the door. It turned out to be Harry at the door and I was relieved. I walk to him and hug him like i never hugged him before.
"Can we go for a walk, Char? Just us." He asked me when our embrace came it an end. I nodded with a smile. I grabbed my thickest jumper (I'm picking up British terms for stuff! Yay me!) and Walked with him out the door.
Harry's POV
I'm glad Charlotte decided to go for a walk with me. It's almost impossible to be with her alone. I don't understand why she doesn't want to be alone with me. Did I do something wrong? I don't think I did. I went to grab her hand half way though our walk on campus and she pulled her hand away. She never did that. She always, one way or another, held my hand. I have had enough of this.
"Char, whats going on with you? You have been acting so strange lately. You aren't avoiding me, which is good, but your being distant from me. Why?" I say in all one breath and I realized that I had raised my voice. I look are Charlotte and she looks more scare than I have ever seen her. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to raise my voice at you," I say softly to her, getting closer to her, "I'm just frustrated on what is going on with you and you aren't telling me anything. Please talk to me." At this point, I'm begging her to tell me what is going on. I want to help her, be there for her and be hers. All I know is that I have fallen for Charlotte Bradley harder than I have ever fallen for anyone.
Charlotte's POV
"I'm just frustrated on what is going on with you and you aren't telling me anything. Please talk to me." Harry said to me in a softer voice, which calmed me down. He was really frustrated with me and he just wants to know whats going on. He is worried about me. Harry...cares about me. For the first time in a long time, I feel like someone can actually care about me and not hurt me. This is all happening so fast for me, I'm scare of Jeremy coming after me and my friends. And then I'm scared of falling for Harry. I don't want to get miss used or taken advantage of. I have to stay on my toes with Harry.
"Okay," I start, "His name is Jeremy and he is my only ex boyfriend." I look into Harry's green eyes and he is paying attention to me and what I have to say. "He was abusive and he...he...uh....he took advantage of me one night." Harry's was now shocked and still a little confused. I started to cry, but I had to finish my story to him. "He raped me and beat me on a night of a dance we went too. He left me there to die. Jeremy hurt me physically and emotionally. That's why I have "trust issues" with "guys"."I said finishing my story. I was crying uncontrollably. "I have been distant from you because Jeremy could be anywhere at anytime ready to make his move. He could hurt you or Angie or Ni-"
"You mean he's here? In London?" he asked me.
"I don't know. He called me over a month ago and sent me a text saying he will see me soon. I figured out that he tracked me through my cell phone, with the call Angie answered." I said still crying. I can't see Harry now because he wrapped me in his arms and my head in his firm, built chest. There was fresh and new tear stains forming on his shirt.
Harry's POV
Her ex boyfriend, Jeremy. He is the one making her paranoid. He is making her keep her distance from me. Now I understand, now I know why she has been doing all of this. She was protecting me, protecting Angie and Niall. I have a small smile on my face knowing what she was doing was for us, her friends.
I comfort Char in my arms and let her cry it out. She has been holding all of this in for a while. I tell her everything is ok. Nothing is going to happen to me or to us. "I'll protect you from him, I promise."I tell her and kiss her temple.
Charlotte and I's happy moment is intrupted when my phone goes off. I don't know the number, but for all I know, it could be Niall calling from someones phone. He forgets his phone every now and again. I slide the green arrow and answer the phone call.
"Hello?" I say, questioning who would be calling me.
"You really shoudn't be with another mans girl...Harry." said the voice on the other end.
Before I could respond to the guy on the other end, a guy came out of the shadows. He is tall wearing green hood (A/N: Jeremy pic on the side) and all I hear is a gun shot...
BANG!
A/N: Ello everyone!
Sorry for going back and forth between Char and Harry POV. I hope I didn't confuse anyone!
