If I.

|Chapter 26|

Fran's POV

"Where did you go" my heart hammered against my chest as Harry slammed the front door behind him.

"I think you know" he eyes didn't meet mine. His knuckles spoke for themselves.

"Harry.."

"Don't", he scoffed.

"Do you want me to go?" I frowned, picking up my bag.

He instantly looked up, "what? No." He shook his head, strolling to where I was and took my hands into his.

"I did that for you, for us" he whispered, wrapping his arms around my waist.

I huffed, "you did that for yourself" I glared, even though he couldn't see my face.

He then held me at arms length, "I did that, because he hurt you"

It was my turn to shake my head.

"He didn't mean it"

"Your bruises speak for themselves, stop defending him" he spoke with clenched teeth.

I sighed, before nudging him to let me go. "I'm going to bed" I said, leaving him in the kitchen,

He followed slowly, "please don't be mad"

"Harry.. Violence isn't the answer! What if he calls the police" I shriek. I hadn't thought of that.

"He won't do shit" he sounded so confident.

Amber! Oh god Amber! She already hates me!

I plopped face first on the bed, my head buried in the many decorative pillows.

"I love you" Harry sat beside me.

"Mhmm" I hummed into the pillow, not wanting to look at him.

"Fran"

"Hmm?" I murmured, still refusing to move.

"Francis" he tried again, bringing a hand to my hip in attempt to flip me on my back.

His attempt successful.

"I love you" he repeated, rubbing gentle circles on my arm.

"I love you too" What if Harry went too far this time, his actions will have consequences. I cringed at the thought.

He pulled me into his arms, avoiding my wrists and just held me.

"Can we just stay this way" I breathed into his chest. He laughed.

"I'm sure we can work something out" he kissed the top of my head.

......................................................

I was walking to my last class of the day when I spotted the last person I wanted to see right now.

This gonna be good.

Stop that.

Make me.

"Hey skank!" Amber stopped me as I contemplated my escape.

Oh god.

Fight! Fight! Fight! My self conscious yelled at me.

"Amber I don't need this right now" I tried to reason, not wanting to do this in the middle of campus.

"You thought you could move in on my boyfriend! Thought you could take Michael from me" she screamed.

Yikes.

People were beginning to stop.

"Did Michael tell you what happened?"

She growled, "Oh yes he did! He told me how you have been pursuing him!"

My mouth was hanging wide open.

"What?" He lied?

No shit. Now fight!

"Amber you have it all wrong, Michael he-"

"You thought he would fall into your sick American ways! He's not like Harry! He came to me and told me everything!"

"Amber he-"

"No bitch! I'm not done" she snapped, "now that you've had your nice share of ruining my life! There's something you should know about your precious mother!" Her smirk was enough to make me turn around and run as far away as I could.
