Two Pieces of a Broken Heart (Harry Styles Story)

Chapter 11: The Nightmare

 Selena’s POV

I straightened my hair and put my extensions back into my hair and put on my favourite black dress and wore some black heels. I went for a red lipstick to apply on for the party that I was going to tonight.It was one of my cousins Cecilia’s eighteenth birthday party and since I didn’t want to go alone, I begged Harry to tag along. Of course he didn’t say no and he got dressed and we went together.  Harry wore a black shirt that had small heart's around and a black blazer with his skinny black jeans. The whole time at the party I could concentrate, I felt as if my mind was miles away from the party. Harry and I stayed at the party for not too long and I made some lame excuse about how I was feeling tired so I needed to get back home.

“Are you ok Sel; you’ve been a bit quiet tonight?” Asked Harry as we entered the house and I removed my heels.

“Yeah I’m fine, just tired that’s all.” I announce with a slight annoyance in my voice.

“If there is anything I could do to help cheer you up, let me know.”

“Honestly Harry, I’m fine.” I say as I pull the fakest smile ever.

The more I tried telling people that I was fine, the more I had to admit to myself that I really wasn’t ok.

I went into my room and took a shower, leaving Harry alone in the living room.

Harry's POV

I should have probably known that Selena going out today wouldn’t be such a good idea but I thought since it was her cousin’s birthday she would be ok.

She truly wasn’t herself, she was so quiet and only ever smiled when she thought she had to. She was now in her bedroom and I guess she was bathing. She just happened to have her bedroom door open; not to be a perv; I just wanted to check up on her.

As I go into the room, it didn’t take long for me to hear the whimpering noses coming from the bathroom.

I didn’t know whether or not to just open the door and talk to her or just allow her the space that she needed. In the end I went with my second option, maybe she didn’t need me breathing down her neck so much so I decided to give her the space that she needed.

I walked out of bedroom and into Aubrey’s room where I got changed for bed.

Both of our doors where wide open by now and it was just past twelve o’clock when I began hearing Selena screaming from across her room.

“NO, NO , STOP... YOU CAN’T ..... NOOOOO!”

As soon as I hear the continuous shouting I rush to her room where I see her crying and shuffling around in her bed.

She must have been having a nightmare, I decided to wake her up and comfort her.

“SELENA, SELENA” I call out as I shake her hoping to get her out of her nightmare.

I shake her one last time before she finally calms down and opens her eyes.

“Harry;  what happened? Why am I crying?” She asks as she raised her head and looks directly at me.

“I think you where having a nightmare.”

“Not again!!” She confesses, I could tell from the sound in her voice that this was something that she thought she had gotten over with.

“Everything will be ok, don’t worry.” I lay on the opposite side of her and rub her back.

“How about I sleep here for tonight.” I suggest and she nods her head.

“I wrap my arms around her and I move closer to her so that we are now in a spooning position.”

At this moment I just wanted to protect her and make her feel safe...

Selena’s POV

It’s the next morning and I soon realise that Harry was now in my bed with his arm around me. I don’t remember too much about yesterday except for the nightmare. It was the third one this week. Dammit.

 I don’t remember Harry being in my bed and how he got here, even so I try my best to not wake him up; I gently raise his arm away from my waist and lay it on my bed once  I get up from the bed. I then go to my bathroom and close the door and brush my teeth.

As I start brushing my teeth, I start thinking about Kellan, why was I torturing myself? I start thinking about the time when he first told me that he loved me and how he wanted to move in with me. I remember the day when Wizards of Waverley place needed and how he told me that I would be fine and how many people would want to book me for a TV pilot. He was so supportive of my career, well at least for that short time. And then I think about the times when he would look at me in disgust and shove me against anything that was in sight and how he would make jokes about my appearance.

I shake off the horrible memories from my thoughts and spit out the tooth paste from my mouth and rinse my mouth. I then wash my face and go back into my bedroom.

I was focusing too much on Kellan that it made me forget that I had Harry asleep in my bed.

Harry was now sprawled over my bed and I smile for a bit as I watch how his hair is in a big mess. He slept so peacefully, unlike me. I watched as his chest rises as he lightly snored, I don’t know what made me do it but I start walking towards Harry and I tuck some hair away from his angelic face.

Harry must have felt my hand on his face since he begins to wake up, this makes my hand jerk away from his face.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to w..wake you up.” I say nervously after being caught by Harry and how I was just gazing at him.

“Its fine love, I actually liked it.” He says in a raspy morning voice with a smile excepting his face.

It took brain to finally register that Harry spent the night in my bed shirtless and only wearing black tight boxers. Selena stop staring, he’s your friend. I say in my head to myself.

 Harry gets out of my bed and attempts to fix his hair, I continue to stare at his long torso and then at his toned chest, a perverted smile forms on my face and then I hear a coughing sound from Harry. Shit, he’s caught me staring.

“And who’s the little perv now?!” Harry says as he smirks at me.
