The Brunette

Chapter 38

Chapter 38(Niall's pov): I wasn't sorry for beating up Harry. Not one bit. I was proud of myself for what I did. He deserved to be beaten down, he hurt my princess.

Now my princess is mad at me.

She didn't even look back when she was helping Harry out the store. All I could see was Harry's smug smirk on his ugly face. I wish I kicked him in the face instead.

I tried calling Bella a few times but she wouldn't answer. I didn't know why she was going out with Harry, he hurt her.

I wouldn't hurt her.

Why couldn't she see that?

Why didn't she love me like I love her?

Then there was Zayn. Some crazy guy that's in love with her and is trying to find her right now. When I asked her if she still loved him, she didn't answer. What if he did find her? He's already tried killed himself twice, he might do it again. But this time, with Bella.

Ive seen this in movies before, the maniac that's in love with the girl he can't have kills both of them so that they can be together.

That can't happen to Bella, I love her too much. I had to protect her from both Harry and Zayn.

I can't do that because she's mad at me.

(Bella's pov): "Do you need to go to your flat first?" Harry asks, holding my hand while driving. I nod, not saying anything. I was thinking about how he and Edward treated each other. "What's wrong my rose?" He sounds concerned, and he squeezes my hand lightly. "Why don't you and Edward like each other?" I ask, not thinking.

Harry sighs, scanning the road carefully. He drove dangerously fast but I was getting used to it. "I don't really know, to be honest." He answers, my apartment building coming into view. "We used to be pretty close until a few years ago." He glances at me before parking, barely slowing down. "What happened?" I ask cautiously.

Harry gets out of the car then opens my door. He helps me out then holds me around the waist, kissing me on the cheek quickly. "Can you sleep at my place tonight?" He brushes my hair away from my face, smiling a little. "Only if you don't try anything." I say, kissing him lightly on the lips. I feel him smile, "Im not making any promises..." He murmurs against my lips. I manage a small smile before he slips his tongue into my mouth, snogging me passionately.

He pushes me up against the car door gently, still holding back slightly. I cling onto him by his neck. He pulls back and smirks, "Save it for tonight my rose." He taunts jokingly, taking my hand and pulling on my gently so we can go inside. I giggle and go with him. Inside, I instantly see Niall and Louis sitting on the bench in the lobby, waiting. They look up and stand immediately. Harry wraps his arms around my waist protectively, moving me away from them automatically.

"Please don't talk to him, please." He begged quietly into my ear. I shake my head and he sighs. Niall's the first to say something out loud. "Bella, I,"

"Save it leprechaun." Harry cuts him off angrily. Niall cocks his head to the side, confused. He had a dark purple bruise on his jaw where Harry punched him. "Excuse me?" He walks closer to us. Harry lets go of me and moves me behind him gently.

"How are you feeling? Does the baby have a tummy ache?" Niall asks in a high pitched voice, like how someone would talk to an infant. Harry clenches his fists but he didn't make a move towards Niall. Louis takes Niall's arm, "Come on, it isn't worth it." He tries weakly, sizing up Harry. "Bella isn't worth it?" Niall asks violently, turning on him. "I don't think its about Bella anymore." Louis retorts, looking a little scared.

"Of course its about Bella." Niall turns around and pushes Harry away roughly. He takes both my hands and looks into my eyes with his intense blue ones. "I don't want you to get hurt." He whispers desperately. I want to melt in his arms. He was being so sweet and protective.
