[ON HOLD] Defensive 'Till The End (Harry Styles, One Direction Fan Fiction)

Chapter 12 - the gym

Rachel's POV

My mom is driving as Lucas and I sit in the back. I still don't know why I'm going to the gym. It just seems like the right thing to do for some reason. I couldn't help but look over at Harry's house and feel a sharp pain in my chest. He is in there right now sleeping with some random girl. It hurts.

"C'mon Rachel! Cheer up!!" Lucas wined taking my hands. I tried to give him my best smile but failed and he noticed. "Lets forget about him ok. He's not worth your misery."

He is so sweet. He is everything I want in a boyfriend and this time I really do smile. I look up at him and he leans down to give me a quick kiss on the lips. I bit my lip and giggle.

When we arrive at the gym, all of us climb out and make our way to the entrance. Once we get inside we sign in and I walk over to the pads layed out on the floor that are used for wresting or something. I don't know; I don't go to gyms much.

"Come on Lucas! Get the little things." I point to the pile of pads that cover the hands. He laughs and grabs two, walking in front of me. He places the pads on his hands and then holds them up in front of him.

"Ok just cause I may look weak doesn't mean you have to hold ba-WOW!" Lucas laughed when I punched the pad as hard as I could. "Ok nevermind." He waved his hand off like he was shaking off pain.

Harry's POV

I probably shouldn't be driving because I'm drunk but seeing Rachel and her reaction has sobered me up enough to see clearly. I pull into the lot and walk into the gym. I sign in and then begin to walk towards the punching bags.

That is when I see her.

She is standing on the boxing pads in front of that dick. I swear I'm going to kill Lucas one day. She is throwing weak little puches at him and I couldn't help but be amused at the thought of her punching him in the face.

"Come on! Put some power into it." Lucas laughs. It's an ugly laugh. He's just an ugly person. 

"I am!" She laughs. It is a beautiful laugh and I want to go over there, swipe her off her feet and kiss her.

All of the sudden Lucas comes closer to her and my heart quickened, my hands closing into fists. He wouldn't. She wouldn't.

Right once there lips connected, my anger took over.

"Oh HELL no!" I practically charge at Lucas and pin him up against the nearest wall. 

"You fucking little basterd! She's mine." I bring my fist back and punch him right in the jaw.

"Harry! Stop it!" I hear Rachel scream. Small hands wrap around my bicep trying to stop the blows I repeatedly give Lucas. "Please! Stop!" She is sobbing and I can hear how hard she is breathing.

"Shit!" I turn around and put my hands on Rachel's cheeks. 

"Calm down baby. It's ok" My heart drops when she yanks away from me. She has her hands on her chest that was curently moving up and down incredibly fast. Shit this is all my falt.

"Leave me alone!" Rachel tries to step away from me but I won't have it. I take her by her shoulders and push her up against the wall making sure she can't get away from me. 

I wrap one arm around her back and place the other on her cheek. 

"Please babe. Calm down! I didn't mean to...I forgot and he kissed you and  I just got so angry I..." When I notice Rachel was still trying to get out of my grip and my rambling wasn't helping at all I took a deap breath.

"Staring at the bottom of the glass hoping one day you'll make a dream last cause dreams come slow and they go so fast." She began to calm and so did I as I continued to sing. She huggs me tighter and my lips curl up; I squeeze her even tighter.
