Rise

Chapter 16

Hi if you noticed I changed the title because I wasn't really too pumped about the title "heart worthy" and I changed it to 'rise' because, well if you keep reading you'll find out why :-)

Also keep voting and sharing this fanfic and feedback is appreciated thank you ily :-)

"What the hell is he doing here I thought you said he wasn't your friend or some shit!" Harry shouts.

He was a sweet heart like ten minutes ago and now he's being a complete ass.

Riley looks irritated just as well.

"Harry-" I plead.

He shakes his head. "Did you invite him?" He tries lowering his voice.

I can tell he's struggling to keep his cool.

"No of course not! I- No offense Riley but I-"

Riley rolls his eyes.

Why is everyone being a jerk all of a sudden?

"Sorry didn't mean to interrupt your time with your abusive shitty boyfriend, good choice-"

Harry pins him against the wall.

I've never seen Harry like this, he'd never even hurt a blade of grass.

"Harry stop!" I shout. I want to go over there and punch both of them, I also want to cry, but I'm much stronger to cry.

"What'd you say about me?" Harry mutters to Riley.

The veins in his hands seem like they're about to pop.

Riley spits in Harry's face, Harry releasing him and stepping back with shock.

"Harry please don't!" I yell, my voice shaky.

I feel horrible, the world is spinning.

Harry wipes his face and before he can strike Riley I jump between them.

Harry's fist hits the wall beside me, so close to hitting me, and if he did there'd probably be a giant bruise I couldn't cover up.

Harry curses, stepping back.

It takes both of us a minute to process what just happened, he shakes his head and I can hear his heavy breathing.

"Melanie I didn't mean I-"

I cut him off by kissing him.

I didn't expect to do this.

I remove my lips from his, he's in complete shock.

I am too.

Riley mutters profanities to himself.

"Riley I'm sorry but you need to go." I say, my voice weak.

Riley gives the middle finger to Harry as he walks off, I grab his arm to keep him from chasing after Riley.

I ignore Harry's further actions and walk into the room.

I can hear Harry following me.

He shuts the door and grabs my wrist before I can sit down on the couch.

I am so exhausted I feel like passing out.

Harry turns me to face him and looks into my eyes. "I didn't mean to hurt you I'm so sorry I wasn't aiming for you I-"

I kiss him again, my kiss seems to calm him.

I should be angry with Harry, he could've hurt Riley and he scared the shit out of me.
