My New Life

Chapter 5 (Jennifer)

 Charity's P.O.V.

 " Is that Harry Styles!" We heard a random fan say.

 "Just order me the same thing you will have, I am going to go talk to fans before they tackle me." Harry told me with a look of annoyance in his eyes. (From the fans I hope...)

 'K.K." I turned around to see the spawn of the devil at the counter, Jennifer.

 "Oh well if it isn't the McDonald's model herself." Jennifer said with a smirk on her face.

 Ignoring her remark I just looked at the menu and ordered. "I'll take two French vanilla coffees, please."

 "Are you sure Charity? That seems a little much don’t you think?" What I didn't know was that Harry was close enough to hear her. And he then walked behind me and rested his chin on my shoulder, while looking like the childish boy he was.

"Excuse me," Harry then looked at her name tag, "Jennifer. But may I let you know that one of those coffees is for my date, Charity. And then one is for me, Harry Styles." Harry said his name with pride as Jennifer's face went into a jealous look. I felt accomplished. Take that Devil Child, who is the Queen Bee now!

"Fine." Jennifer said with anger. "Here is your coffee." She then leaned over and completely dumped both hot coffees down my sweater and had a massive grin on her face. I could feel every ounce just rushing down my chest.

"Ow!" Tears started filling my eyes. I could feel my cheeks go red with embarrassment, and the coffee burning my chest. It was boiling hot. The tears started pouring down instantly.

"Charity, are you okay?" Harry said with much concern. He put his arms around my waist and pulled me close. His hands were on my fresh cuts and his body was against my chest, the two places that hurt the most. "Jennifer, just to be honest, I officially don't like you. And I am NOT paying for that coffee."

I laughed at his last remark but I just still could feel it burning. With my hands on his chest while he is holding me. I just looked up and said, "Please take me back home?" He wiped the tears from my eyes and then took me to the car.

In the car ride his face was read with anger. His hands were clenched on the steering wheel with his knuckles white, and his muscles flexing. "Who was that girl?" He asked with anger.

"Jennifer, Jared's ex." I replied whispering because I was out of breath from crying.

"Well she is... Is... A Bully! And I don't like that!" He was now yelling in the car as we pulled up to the apartment building.

We were still just sitting in the car calming down just as I whispered a little too loudly, "I left America for that, and now... It just happens everywhere." I said with tears streaming down my face. Harry got quiet and grabbed my hand.

"You go inside Charity; I am going to calm down." Harry whispered. So I went inside and sat on the couch.

*****

Harry's P.O.V.

"Did you know she was BULLIED in America?" I didn't know how to let my anger out so I called Jared to talk to him about it. I just can't imagine such a wonderful girl be pushed around!

"I only knew that Jennifer bullied her, and that it has hurt her ever since.... Are you with her?" Jared sounded concerned.

"No. I couldn't let her see me angry." I had finally calmed down enough to stop yelling.

 "Go to her. She can't be alone in her time of need. You don't know what will happen." What did he mean by that? Before I could even ask him he said he had to go find Louis because he lost him. I let the thoughts get into my head. What if she is crying and thinks she is alone? What if she is cutting like other girls do? What if... No. I thought of the cutting. I would never let that happen to her.

 I ran up to the building and headed up to her flat. Thank heavens she was just asleep on the couch. I noticed how she kept shaking, even in her sleep. Her sweater was still wet though, and most likely extremely cold. I couldn't let her sleep in a cold sweater. So I headed to her room to get her a new shirt but the door was locked.

 Guess she will just have to use mine.
