Steph POV
I wake up and Harry is singing Demons by Imagine Dragons in my ear. I keep my eyes closed and listen to his beautiful voice. Each line he sings is similar to my nightmare situation. While he is singing, he is kissing my face, considering I was facing him. He brought his hand up to my cheek and started to rub circles on it. He moved his arm down to my waist and pulled me closer to him. He finished singing and he was playing with my hair now. I moved my hand to his stomach and opened my eyes.
"Good morning beautiful," he said. I cringed. That was what Marcus said to me. Harry noticed and hugged me. "What's wrong?"
"Marcus, that's what he said to me and he called me 'beautiful'." He hugged me.
"I'm sorry baby girl. I won't do it again." I smiled and snuggled into his chest.
"So what was the purpose you sang to me this morning?"
His expression changed and now he had a sad face on. "Harry, what's wrong?"
He looked at his hands and sat up. I followed and he grabbed my hands.
"I got a call this morning," he started and I went and sat on his lap. "I, uh, have another fight."
I looked at him curiously. Why was this different than any other fight? "Well, you know how I feel, but why does this one seem worse?"
"It's in England." I looked down and I swallowed hard.
"Steph, please look at me." I shook my head no and kept my head down.
"Please baby girl," he pleaded. I looked up into his eyes and he pulled me in for a hug. I had tears in my eyes and I buried my head into his neck. He started to rub his hand up and down my back, trying to sooth me.
"Please baby girl. I know this is hard but I need to go and teach this guy a lesson."
"Harry, that's not my issue."
"Then what is?"
I pulled back and looked in his eyes, "We are going to be apart again. I won't be able to sleep for two reasons now, nightmares and knowing if your safe or not. I love you so much and now your leaving me." He grabbed my face in his hands and smashed my lips onto his. He deepened the kiss and I placed my hands on his neck. My fingers played with the curls at the bottom and his hands were on my waist. He pulled me closer to him, so our chests were touching. I pulled back and leaned my forehead on his. I let my tears silently fall, but Harry's hands were still on my cheeks.
"Baby girl please stop crying. I hate seeing you like this."
"When are you leaving?"
"The 10 of October."
"When are you getting back?"
"The 16th."
That is the day of Karen's wedding. He won't be there.
"You won't be at Karen's wedding."
"I know Steph and I am so sorry. I wish I could go but this guy needs a lesson."
"What did he do?"
"He would have sex with girls, film them without them knowing, put the videos on the internet, and ruin their lives."
I shuttered at the thought of that happening to me. Harry held me closer. "I would never do that to you. I love you too much." I smiled and lifted my head and pecked his lips. He held me close and we stayed there in that position for almost a half hour. I felt Harry's hands travel to my butt and he lifted me up. He carried me to the balcony and set us on the couch. We sat there and talked for a while about mindless stuff. I placed my head in the crook of his neck and he kissed the top of my head.
"I love you so much baby girl, I need you to understand my situation."
"I do Harry, I completely understand. I just don't want you to get hurt. I hate seeing you hurt like that. But when you train, you get huge and you are incredibly hot." He laughed and I smiled.
"Are you saying I'm not hot right now?" he said, smirking at me.
"No, I's just saying that you are hot and sexy and when you train you get hotter and sexier." He gave me a weird look and I just smiled.
"You are something else baby girl. But I love you."
"And I love you."
We basically did nothing the rest of the day. Just talking and enjoying each other presence. Harry took me home at the end of the day and I talked with Karen about the wedding and Harry leaving. She hugged me and told me he will come back. I understood and went to bed. I walked in the room and was greeted by Harry, shirtless and already on my bed.
"Hey Harry," I said softly.
"Hi baby girl. Do you want to come to work with me tomorrow?" he asked while I walked to him. I gave him a weird look and he asked what.
"Don't you think I would get a lot of weird looks. I mean, you are huge and well, I'm tall but shrimpy."
He laughed and I put my shorts on and a tank top on. "Your beautiful and I would love to have you there."
"Why?"
"I want you to be my motivation so Tom can't put stuff in my head."
"Oh, yeah, like what?" I asked, sliding onto the bed. He looked at me and sighed.
"When you were in Italy, he said stuff like you would meet someone and that you would forget about me. He got to you being in bed with another person and I lost it and shoved him against a wall."
I looked at him wide eyed. "Tom did that to you?"
"Yes, and I don't want it to happen again. Can you please come with me?" I snuggled into his chest.
"Of course I'll come with you." He kissed my forehead and I drifted off into sleep.
I woke up and Harry and I got ready to go to the gym. Harry left and I got dressed. I put on my knee-length yoga pants and a pink tank top. I heard the doorbell ring and I looked up and saw Harry.He had basketball shorts on and a muscle tee on. He smiled and I hugged him.
"Ready to go?" "Yup." And we drove to the gym. It was about 5 minutes from my house so it wasn't that far of a drive. We walked in and I immediately got the stares I was expecting. Harry put his arm over my shoulder and pulled me into his side.
"Ignore them," he whispered. I nodded and we walked to Tom.
"Harry, good to finally see you again. What another month and you haven't come again?" he said, completely ignoring me.
"Steph got hurt and I needed to be by her," Harry defended.
"Yeah right, I'm sure you wanted to be by her because she was back, don't need to lie. But I need you training."
I felt Harry tense and I stepped up to Tom. "You brought her too," he said amused.
"I did get hurt Tom."
"You don't need to lie," he said. I grabbed his shirt and pulled him to me. I lifted my tank top to show him my scars. His eyes widened.
"I-I'm so sorry." I let his shirt go and walked over to Harry who was beaming. I smiled and he gave the finger to Tom. I laughed and we walked to the mats.
"That was hilarious Steph, you totally showed him."
"Hey, no one makes my Harry mad." He smiled and pecked my lips. He took his shirt off and made me lay on the floor. He laid opposite of me and hovered over me. He started push-ups and kissed me every time he came down. I smiled and he did a ton of push-ups. I lost count after 50. At one point I grabbed his face and kissed him deeply and he still held his weight. I was amazed at how strong he was.
He got up and started to run and I sat on the bench. I played on my phone and I saw someone stand in front of me. I looked up and saw the worst kid in the world.
Hunter Jackson.
"What do you want Hunter?"
"Nothing, I just want to know why your still with him?"
"I'm with him because he is nice and strong."
"I just want to tell you something. I do actually have feelings for you so I hope we can be friends. I apologize for doing that to you. I never meant for it to get that out of hand."
"It's okay. I just was hurt more than anything."
"Yeah, I'm sorry. About everything. Your father, what those men did to you. I am sorry."
I stood up and hugged him. "It's okay. I forgive you. Now why the hell would you bring drugs to school?" I asked and he just started laughing. He pulled away and he told me that his friend wanted some so he got it for him. He just got caught and they were both expelled.
"Nice, but I do have a question?"
"Yeah," he asked.
"Why me?"
"I thought you were pretty and I didn't mind you. I thought you were nice but what I did to you was horrible and I can't apologize enough."
"It's fine. I've been through a lot and the least I can do is forgive you."
"Thank you, but now I have a question for you." I nodded and waited.
"Can I see your stomach?"
I nodded. They are kind of like my battle wounds so I proudly show them off. I lifted my shirt and his face dropped. He asked to touch them and I nodded.
Harry POV
I finished my running and what I see just about makes me the angriest man. Hunter touching Steph's stomach. I stand here watching them and Hunter stands up. He gives her a hug and she hugs back. I am furious and run up to them. I pull Hunter off her and punch him.
"Harry! Stop!" I ignore her and pin him to the ground.
"What do you think you are doing?!"
"I apologized."
"I don't buy it," I said punching him.
"Harry! Please stop!" I look at Steph and she is crying. I stand up of Hunter and start walking towards Steph. She steps back from me. I felt my heart break as she looked at me. I raised my hand and she flinched. I broke even more.
She thought I was going to hit her.
She walked over to Hunter and helped him up. She apologized and gave him a hug. I got angry and wanted to punch him. Steph looked at me with tears in her eyes and walked past me. She grabbed her stuff and ran out the door. I followed her but when I got outside, I couldn't find her. I was about to call her when I saw her blonde hair down the street. God, she's fast. I start running her way but she is fast. I can tell she plays basketball and runs cross country. I keep running and she reaches the apartments. I pray she goes there but she keeps running. My heart breaks again but I keep running. She runs all the way to Karen's house and she reaches the door. She opens it and slams it right as I reach it. I pound on the door, hoping she will answer.
I sit on the step and cry. I scare her and now she doesn't want to see me. I hear the door open and I see Karen standing there.
"What did you do!?" she yelled. I put my head in my hands. Now both of them are mad at me.
"I-I was angry, an-and I hurt Hunter. Sh-She got mad and ran aw-way," I sobbed. I can't believe I scare her. This is horrible.
"Harry, you need to control your anger. I have Steph upstairs balling her eyes out because she forgave someone, tried a new friendship, and they just got hurt. By you."
"I know and I'm sorry. Can I please see her?"
"Harry..."
"I need to apologize. I screwed up."
"You screwed up big time this time. She was already torn up about you leaving and not being able to go to the wedding, now you beat up someone she was trying to mend a friendship with."
"Please?"
"I don't know Harry."
"I need to see her."
She sighed and nodded. She walked to the door and opened it. I walked upstairs and went to her door. I saw a note taped on it.
I took it off and opened it up. It had tear stains all over it.
Harry,
I write this because I know you would come up here eventually.
Hunter apologized to me and told me he heard about the things that happened to me. He asked to be friends and I accepted because he truly seemed regretful. I told him he was forgiven and I hugged him. He pulled away and asked to see my scares. I said yes and he was so sad about it. I hugged him and told him I was fine. Then you came and you know the rest.
I hope you know that this time, you scared me. You were out of control and I didn't want to be near you so I ran. Please don't take this the wrong way but please stay away from me for a couple days. I am scared and I am afraid that I could get hurt. I need to think about this for a while.
You mean the world to me and I love you so much. Please just chill out for a day or two. I want you to clear your mind and hopefully you realize that your my only and I only have my eyes set on you.
I love you,
Baby girl. xx
I am crying because of everything in here hit my heart. I sit down outside her door and bury my head in my hands. I scared her. I actually scared her. And she ran away. From me. I don't think this could get any worse.
"Harry, I think you should go home." I looked up and saw Karen. I nodded and got up. Karen gave me a hug and told me to chill.
"I will." She nodded and I walked back to the gym to get my car. I walked in to get my bag and I saw Hunter.
"Hey, I, uh, want to apologize," I said walking up to him.
"It's fine man. I get it. This has happened with you before. Don't worry," he said, punching the bag.
"No, I am seriously sorry. I didn't know what happened and I thought she wanted you back."
He stopped punching and looked at me. "I forgive you but I want to know if she forgave you."
I handed him the note that she wrote me and he read it. He handed it back to me a sighed. "If there is anything I can do," he said.
"There's nothing but I need to ask you something."
"Sure."
"Can I get your number and I will help you with your skills."
He smiled and thanked me. He gave me his number and went back to punching. "You got a good swing." He looked at me and smiled.
"Thanks, you know that when I was 13, I heard about boxing and I looked it up. You are way better than any of the guys I saw online."
"Thanks man, you'll get there."
I walked away and grabbed my bag. I walked to my car and drove home. I walked into the living room and checked my phone. One message from Karen. I opened it and saw a picture of Steph on the balcony. Her eyes were closed and her knees were pulled up to her chest.
She will not be getting any sleep tonight.
I threw my phone on the couch and grabbed the vase from the table and threw it at the wall. I pulled at my hair and walked into my room. I walked to my bed and laid on it. I stared at the ceiling at wished Steph was in my arms.
I scared her and I hurt her. I can't fall asleep so I take out her journal. I read it and wished she could read it to me. Her words spoke to my heart and now she's gone. She isn't in my arms and I wish she was.
I can't believe she left me.
She ran away from me.
And now I can't believe I let her down.
