The Dumb and The Clueless

Chapter 7: Love and War

Steven gets back up, even angrier and I step inbetween them. "No guys, this isn't right. Don't fight" Harry lifts his arm as if he's going to punch him, and I pull his arm down, and put him in an arm lock. "Harry. Listen to me. Stop." He finds a way out of my arm lock, and I turn to Steven. He stares at me, with eyes that are really sad. Like puppy dog sad. "Steven..I'm sorry. You just have to be more flexible sometimes." He nods and scratches the back of his neck awkwardly. "Harry and I have to have a word.." I yank Harry away to the hallway. "Harry.. I can't take it anymore." "What? What can't you take?" "I need to tell him, he can tell something's up." "No! We can't tell him yet, have you gone mad!?" I stare down at my feet, and stay silent. We both walk out again, and I make him carry my purse and heels. Steven walks over and 'pretends' to trip Harry, which makes it really obvious because he does this stupid little face. "Whoops." he says, his voice in a teasing tone. Harry's face turns red and he stands up and picks up the heels and purse. "Stay back, doggie." I warn him. I walk up to Steven, and slap him. "Dont you dare trip him again. Don't trip anyone. Stop threatening people, and let go. You can't be so overprotective of me! I need to live my life!" He puts his hand to his face, and I instantly tell he's hurt. I can tell he wouldn't hurt me, because he really cares about girls, and treats them right. But then he slaps me (a little softer) back. I get really mad, and my face turns red. Harry completely loses it. He drops everything and charges towards Steven. "You son of a bitch!" He yells. He starts off the fight by lifting Steven off of his feet, by his shirt. Steven's shorter than Harry by like 4 inches. I get really angry, and try to stop them. "Harry put him down!" I yell. "After he treats you like THAT?! OF COURSE NOT!" he yells back. I have to walk over there, and kick Harry in the balls. He drops Steven, causing him to fall to the floor on all fours. I run over to Steven. "Steven are you alright? I don't know what got into hi--" "I'm fine.." He grabs his stuff and runs out the door limping. I look back at Harry, who has his hands covering his balls on the floor. "Shit." he curses under his breath." "OH take it like a man, Styles."  I complain. Steven walks back in, and grabs his coat. "Forgot this. See you at school tomorrow, Katie." "Okay..bye Steve--" The door closes. "Harry why did you do that!" "I was protecting you!" "Well, look at what you did to him!" "It's much better than telling him the secret!" I realize how right he is. "Well..thanks." I grab my stuff from him and storm out the door. "But you need a ride!" he yells. "I'll take a taxi! See you tomorrow at school!" Then, I get home.
