The Bystander (Harry Styles fanfic)

Chapter 5

Jess:

It's the end of school. THANK GOD! I thought I was going to die of humiliation. But when I got up to the bus that's when rumors started coming up.

All these ramdom girls started coming up to me saying "Is it true you were going to fight Tasha?"

I looked at them with confusion, shaking my head and just said no. Wow, that was wierd. I climbed onto the bus. which made me think: Did Harry report her? Right when I was thinking about me he swooped me up from nowhere, spinning me around saying "Your problems are solved." He got on the bus with me, telling me everything that happened. I listened to the whole thing and I gave him a big hug.

"It's okay. Hey, do you feel something?" I asked, nervous because I actually felt a certain way about him.

"What?" He asked worried.

"Nothing. I felt some kind of way after this- act of kindness."

"What? It's okay, you can tell me."

I hesitated, and I broke down crying in his arms as he held me.

"It's okay." He said, stroking my cheek. My head turned to face his, and as he looked in my eyes, I began to smile, a big smile. I muttered so softly and low "I know we've only known each other for a few months, but I really like what you are doing for me. You're the only friend I have here."

I was going to go on and say what I needed to say but he would run away if I told him my real feelings. So I kept them to myself.

In my room, I was picking out the clothes I would wear for tomorrow. It was the winter dance and I wanted to look great. I found a perfect purple dress and earrings to match with it. When my phone buzzed. I looked at the screen I got a tweet from tasha saying:

I can't believe I told you not to tell and you did anyway. I'm so ready for a fight. -Tasha

I re-read it over and over, making sure I didn't read it wrong. Oh-no. I put down everything I was doing.

"HIGH SCHOOL IS AS STUPID AS FUCK!" I yelled.

"Watch your mouth young lady!" Mom yelled from the kitchen

My little step brother Rico Rodriguez (Trust me, it's a long story) came in saying, "Oooh, little miss perfect cussed! Haha."

"Get out of my room!" I threw a pillow at him. He was gone in a second. I can't fight Tasha tomorrow. I know how to fight but I don't wanna hurt the girl. That bad.

I picked up my phone and texted Harry: WE NEED TO TALK. PRONTO.

Harry: Okay. My house. 8 pm. I got one too.

Me: It's your fault we're in this mess. Not mine.

Harry: You wanted to fight her so bad. So I went with Plan B.

Me: Now, what's Plan C?

Harry: That's why I want to talk to you.

"Mom, I'm so sorry. Can I go over my friend's house? Please? She needs me." I begged. Another lie.

"Sure, just be back by 11 pm." She said, washing the dishes from supper and putting them in the dishwasher.

"Thanks." I took my car and drove to his house.

***

*In Harry's Kitchen*

His mom and dad were on a business trip.

"Man, I really screwed up." I complained. "Now there's only one option left."

"What?" He asked a bit harsly.

"Suicide," I whispered hoping he wouldn't hear me.

"No, Jess. BULLYING IS THE NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF SUICIDE IN AMERICA. I'M NOT LETTING YOU KILL YOURSELF!! YOU'RE THE BESTEST FRIEND I'VE EVER HAD AND MAYBE THE ONLY ONE. I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT OF YOU AS A GIRLFRIEND AND I'M NOT GOING TO LOSE YOU. I CAN'T LOSE YOU. I LOVE YOU JESSICA!"

Woah. What the heck?

"Yes, I said it. I love you. And I will crawl to the ends of the earth to make sure that bully won't bully you any longer!"

I looked at him, shocked. He started to kiss me. Hard. I felt my tongue slipping through his, my fingers ran through his hair then stopped. "No, no, no. We are going to fix this now."

"That's more like it." He pulled out a peice of paper. "This is sure to prevent her from bullying you ever again.

1. Mud

2. Skateboard

3. Toothpaste..."

After reviewing the plan I said to myself, "Tasha. You wanna play tough? Well two can play at that game." 

The End

Epilouge:  Tasha got pranked by Harry and Jess. They go out and now Jess never got bullied again.
