Chapter 38

Jaycie's pov:

My heart starts to race. I feel like it will burst out of my chest. I untangle myself from the covers and pull on a pair of Harry's boxers and a t-shirt as quickly as possible. I run to the door and turn the knob running out of the room. Where's Harry? He's going to attack Jake. There is no doubt in my mind. I hear a faint noise down the hall so I follow it.

I turn right and run down the hall. The noise gets louder and louder the further I go. I get to an intersection and try to decide where to go. My breathing is heavy as I listen for more noise. I don't know wether to turn right or go straight. A loud bang leads me down the hall to the right and I make my way all the way down. There's a curve and at the end I see a figure standing there against the wall. The figure runs toward a door and pushes it open with his shoulder and light shines on his face. Harry is standing there his face angry and gets even angrier than I thought possible once he looks inside.

"Harry!" I shout.

He ignores me and runs into the room.

"I'm going to fucking kill you!!" I hear him scream. His voice deep and full of boiling anger. I run down the hall to the open door and go inside. I stop at the door at the sight of Harry. He's holding Jake by the hair and smashes his head against the wall.

"You bastard!" Harry yells.

"What made you think you could touch her!" He screams as he starts to kick Jake as he falls to the floor. He stands over Jake and starts to punch him over and over again. And Jake isn't even fighting back. He's not even trying to stop him. I feel frozen to my spot as blood starts to come from Jakes nose. I can't breathe. I've never seen Harry so pissed off. He picks up Jakes head and slams it against the floor. I finally get courage as Harry continues to hit Jake and run over to him.

"Harry!" I scream,"Harry! Stop! That's enough!"

I place my hand on his back and try to pull him back by his shirt. His face turns to mine with anger in his eyes but as he looks into my pleading eyes his eyes soften and he gets off Jake.

"I'm so sorry, Jaycie," he says,"I should have taken better care of you."

"It's not your fault," I say.

Jake stands up and stumbles around. He grabs onto the wall for support.

"You," Harry says,"are a sick bastard. You better be glad Jaycie came or you would be dead."

His teeth are clenched tight and he's trying to keep his anger down for my sake.

"If you ever come near her again, I'm going to kill you without a second thought," Harry says.

He leads me out of the room still looking angry.

"I wish you would have," Jake mumbles when we leave. I barely hear it and I doubt Harry did.

Harry grabs my hand and leads me through the hallways that seem like a maze to me. He doesn't speak a word to me as we enter the room. Instead he stays facing the wall. His chest rising up and down heavily. As if he has an actual weight on it that makes it hard for him to breath. I close the door and sit down on the bed. I can see the side of his face. He looks pained.

"I'm so sorry, Jaycie," Harry says. His voice is weak.

"I'm the one whose supposed to protect you and I've failed. I'm a terrible person. None of this would have ever happened to you. You should be back at school. With your friends. Having a normal life. But I've brought you here. I'm awful. You deserve so much better. This is torture. For both of us and knowing that you're in a place like this is worse. I can't begin to tell you how sorry I am. I'm a horrible person. The worst person to have ever been born. I'm not even worth your time. You should just lea-" Harry says but I cut him off.

"Harry, stop. It's not your fault. It was my decision. You didn't make me do anything. We'll get through this. What happened with Jake wasn't your fault," I say and walk over to him. I place my hand on his back and his eyes squeeze shut.

"Your not a bad person. You've just been through bad times. Your amazing. You're so much better than your father. You're the best I've ever known. You're kind and caring. You're willing to protect me with your own life and I'm so grateful for you. I love you, Harry. And I'll never stop. I'm not going to leave you."

He turns around and pulls my body against his. His arms wrap around my waist and his head buries into my neck. I wrap my arms around his neck and hold on tight.

"I love you," he says. He seems so fragile but strong at the same time.

"I love you," I say.

He pulls away and leads me to the bed. He sits down on the edge and places me on his lap. His hand rubs up and down my left side. Something that has begun to comfort me. It calms me down. I run my thumb over his cheeks and his eyes close. I gently place my lips on his and pull back. It's a small kiss but I feel like he needs it. He eagerly pushes his lips against mine again and kisses me harder. Our lips mover perfectly together. His lips are soft. My heart races and I get the tingling feeling down my spine. I'm glad I'm sitting because if I were standing I would surely fall from my knees being weak.

We pull apart to catch our breath. He looks into my eyes and holds my hand in his.

I stand up from his lap and his face shows confusion as worry.

"I'm just going to shower," I inform him gently.

"Do you need towels or something?" He asks.

"Yeah."

"Come with me," he says.

I know he won't leave if I don't go with him so I nod my head and head towards the door. We both step back into the hall and go in the opposite direction from where Jake was. We head down a hall until we hear voices behind a door. We stop in our tracks and listen.

"So you found him in his room with bruises and blood on his body?" A man says.

"He said Harry found out," a voice says that I recognize as Henry's.

"This is not good. Harry is never going to let that girl leave his sight."

"What now?"

"Looks like we have to go with plan A."

"Harry won't like that," Henry says.

"He'll get over it."

"What about that boy? Jake?"

"Same for him. He is of no further use to us."

A lump is building in my throat as we listen and Harry looks beyond worried.

"Load my gun, Henry. We have some business to take care of tonight."
