MADDY'S POV

"Can I get two scoops of vanilla ice cream please?" Harry asks the lady behind the counter, wrapping his arm around my waist. She looks up at him.

"OH MY GOSH YOU'RE HARRY STYLES!" she screams. Harry politely smiles at her.

"I'm a huge fan! I love you so much!" She gets out of the little ice cream shop and goes out to the boardwalk.

"EVERYONE! ATTENTION ALL EAST COASTERS!" she yells. Huh? We're in the east coast? Since when? Is east coasters even a thing?

"HARRY STYLES IS-" Before she can finish her sentence, several pairs of eyes turn to our direction. Harry scoops me up and runs. He's been running for a good ten minutes and he's out of breath.

"Harry, you go on without me. I'll be fine."

"No! I'm not leaving you!" He drops me onto the wooden boardwalk while several arms wrap around him.

"Ow!" People are stepping on me and they're not even noticing. All they want is to get toHarry.

"Maddy! Maddy!" I hear him yell. I turn my head. People are ripping off his shirt, shorts, and even his hair. They're even scratching his beautiful face, leaving claw marks and peeled skin. He's practically being tortured.

"Stop!" I beg, but nobody listens.

"HARRY STYLES IS MINE! NOW BACK OFF!" I hear this blonde girl, to my left, scream. She looks for something in her backpack and takes out a...

"EVERYONE STEP AWAY OR I WILL SHOOT!" She holds up a gun in the air. My eyes widen. I try to stand up, desperately wanting to reach Harry.

"You there! Brunette! Stop right now or I will shoot him." I freeze. She wouldn't shoot Harry, would she? No, she wouldn't. I ignore her and I continue to crawl. I'm about to grab Harry's hand when I hear a gun shot.

"Maddy?" I hear someone whisper. "Wake up, love." That sounds like...

"Harry?" I open my eyes and I find myself staring into his green sparkling eyes. "You're alive!" Tears fall down my cheeks as I wrap my arms around his neck.

"I thought you were dead!"

"Shhh, it's okay. I'm alright. It was just a dream," Harry assures me, patting my back.

"I thought I lost you," I say, barely audible.

"You didn't. I"m still here." Harry plans a soft kiss on my lips.

"What happened?" I ask. "Where's my dad? Why isn't he here?"

"Actually, you're free to go. You don't have a concussion and everything is perfect," Harry explains. "And your dad... He couldn't make it. He said he was busy or something like that."

I guess I should be happy that I'm fine and free to go, so why aren't I? Oh that's right... My dad didn't bother showing up. I understand he's always busy and all, but is his work really more important than my health and safety? Am I being selfish? I don't think so. I just want him to care about me like I still do for him. The thing is, I felt so unloved before I met Harry. It seems like my life is completely different than before now that Harry is in my life.
