I'll hide from you (Harry Styles)

Chapter four.

I sat at my window seat once again, staring at the road.

Harry was at home, doing whatever.

Its been a while since the lake accident, but everyone still remembers it.

Harry remembers the death of cold.

My mum remembers the tears of seeing me and harry near to death.

The police remembers the dissapointment of not being able to fine the suspects.

The editor for the newspaper remembers printing the title "Lucky escape for two teens after plummeting unto local lake"

I still remember the laughing.

I watched as the mailman dropped a few letters into the mailbox, and I thought I'd better get up and do something anyway.

I made my way down the stairs and to the front door.

My mum sat in the kitchen, reading a book.

"Alice, where are you going?"

"Just getting the mail"

She nodded, as I walked out the door.

Outside it was cold, and snow was shoveled out of the way in our driveway.

I wrapped my arms around myself as the wind whipped my hair, making my way to the mailbox, as I shivered under the breeze.

Inside there were three letters.

I picked them out and flicked through them.

awh, nothing for me.

"hey Alice" I heard a deep voice chuckle.

I looked up and saw Jacob standing there, smirking at me.

"Haven't seen you in a while"

"For obvious reasons, I would imagine" I mumbled.

"Sorry, what's that?" he asked, walking closer "you need to speak up, little rabbit"

I froze.

d-did he just call me... no, only harry calls me that, he couldn't have.

"Alice, why won't you look at me"

My pulse quickened and my hands started to sweat.

"Alice, look at me!!" he yelled.

I got scared as I stumbled back a bit.

"i-i have to go" I mumbled quickly and spun around to run to the door.

But he grabbed my wrist tightly and turned me, pushing me into his chest as his one arm held my waist firmly and his other hand gripping my wrist.

"Its not a good idea to disobey me, little rabbit"

I squirmed under his grip as his grip on my wrist starting getting tighter.

"y-youre hurting me" I whimpered.

"oh really, well how does this feel!" he suddenly crushed his fist together, causing me to yelp in pain.

I kicked him in the balls and this time HE yelped in pain.

I fell back onto the snow, and held my wrist crying.

I saw Jacob recovering and tried to get up.

He started towards me, fuming with anger.

"no, please!" I screamed in fear.

"Oi!" I heard a voice yell.

I looked across the street and saw Harry jogging over the road towards us.

Jacob stopped in his tracks and tried to act normal.

"What are you doing here?!" harry yelled at him, as he ran over to me, crouching down and inspecting me, seeing if I was OK.

Jacob looked nervous.

"Oh, you know, just saying hi to the neighbors"

Harry then saw me holding my wrist.

He spun his face round and looked straight at him.

"Did you do this to her?!" he yelled, referring to my wrist.

"n-no, she fell, and i-i came over to help her-"

harry got up and walked over to him so that they're faces were inches away from each other.

"You listen to me" Harry poked him in the chest hard "You better stay away from Alice or else!! And if you even THINK about touching her, I won't think twice about snapping a bone!!"

Jacob nodded quickly, and ran off into the snow, stumbling a few times.

Harry turned back around, crouched down, and scooped me up into his arms.

He took me inside and through to the bathroom, put me on the edge of the sink and took out the first aid kit.

He wrapped up my wrist up neatly and put the red Cross box back on the shelf.

He suddenly put his hands either side of me on the sink and sunk his head down sighing, his curls flopping.

"h-harry?" I asked.

He didn't respond, only looked up at me and slightly smiled.

He cupped my cheek and pushed a tear away with his thumb.

"I'm sorry I didn't come sooner" he whispered.

"its alright harr-" I began.

"no, its not! I NEED to protect you... your so vulnerable that i-i need to protect you" he said, whispering the last part, looking down again.

I held his face in both my hands and gently lifeted his face up to mine.

"thank you" I whispered his eyes sparkled as they stared into mine.

"but you can't protect me forever" his face fell.

"I will protect you as long as I live, Alice" He declared.

He closed his eyes, kissing my hand that was holding his face.

"I promise"
