A love lost

Chapter 5

I hadn’t even been walking for three minutes before I heard someone shouting my name. I turned around and saw Trey running after me.

“Wait. Tara, where are you going” He asked me.

Without looking back, I angrily replied “Away from you!”

“Why? What have I done? Baby, I just want to make you happy” He whined. I could hear his drunken footsteps behind me. When he finally caught up to me he grabbed me by my waste.

“Let go of me!” I ordered.

“C’mon, let’s just have a good time” He replied, tightening his grip on me. I could feel his hot body against my back. I felt a moment of panic as I closed my eyes and prayed he’d let me go. As if God had answered my prayers, I suddenly felt Treys hands being ripped off my waste. I turned around and saw Trey stumbling to the ground in shock. I looked a little further back and could barely see Harry’s tall figure standing in the darkness.

“She said no” He said, staring down at Trey as he quickly re found his feet.

“Who the fuck do you think you are? Go back to your boy band, she wants me and not you.” He shouted at Harry. I could see Harry’s hands curling into a ball in frustration.

“She doesn’t want you, so just leave” Harry replied as calmly as possible. Trey looked at him in disbelief, before shaking his head and starting to walk away. Harry looked over to me worriedly, but before he got the chance to see if I was okay, he was distracted by Trey’s voice.  

“You know what, fine, you can have her. I wouldn’t want her anyway, she’s nothing but a slut” Trey stated, his every word stinging painfully. A tear started to stream down my face as soon as he said it. It was a word I’d never been called before and to hear it for the first time really hurt. Luckily for me, neither Harry or Trey could see me crying because they were so focused on each other. Trey looked as casual as hell where as Harry looked like he was about to kill someone.

“Wanna say that again arse hole?” Harry prompted him angrily. I could hear the aggression in his voice, and if Trey wasn’t scared of him now, then the guy had to be bloody fearless. I mean, I could even feel myself shaking in fear. Even though Harry had always remained a calm person, on occasion he would still get really angry. And when that boy got angry, man did he get angry. And at those times, I can tell you know, you’d be shit scared. But this time was different.  I had never seen him so furious. Even though it was dark, I could still see his face wrinkled up in stress, I could see his fists curled in a ball and I could see his jaw moving as his teeth slammed up against each other in frustration.

“You heard me, she’s nothing but a whore.” He said before turning around and walking away. Suddenly Harry was after him, calling out his name in anger.

“Hey Trey, you forgot something you dickhead” Harry replied, before grabbing Trey, turning him around and punching him smack bang in the middle of his once good looking face. I stared at them both in shock before the world suddenly turned into a blur as Trey fell to the ground clenching his bloody nose. Harry grabbed onto his fist with his other hand, before turning around and coming to where I stood. And despite how angry he was, he still took the moment to be the complete gentleman he is.

“Are you alright?” He asked caringly, eyeing me up and down to see if I was okay.  Unable to talk, I simply nodded my head, before Harry grabbed my hand with his uninjured one and started to lead me away from Trey, who still remained in pain on the floor. Without looking back, I clenched on to Harry’s hand feeling protected by his presence. Together, we just walked away into the darkness. Neither of us knew where we were going but at that moment, that didn’t matter. Nothing mattered. All I knew I was that I felt safe. As long as Harry was with me, I was safe.
